The inevitable crash & burn of his Brexit baby should have been the political end for that chancing fuck, but no…
AXIOS: “(Trump’s) tariff policy will cost midsize businesses $82.3 billion, according to a new report from the JPMorganChase Institute…” www.axios.com/sponsored/mi...
Putin spoke at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit. He blamed the West for the "Ukrainian crisis" and said that "the root causes of the crisis" must be removed in order for peace to come. Looks like Putin has made his choice: he's going to continue the war.
USA. Closed for business AND pleasure. Other countries are available.
Nearly a million people marched against Brexit. Not front page news. 50 people gather outside a hotel. National news for weeks. "Fears of mass unrest", media says.
Here we go, Tories fleeced us for years, especially their Covid profiteering, is Mone still on our yacht, but hey let’s pursue this non-story cos it’s Labour.
Experts obviously keeping that monstrosity alive, look at the state of him 😳
Overnight Russian strikes hit Ukraine: in Zaporizhzhia 1 killed and 22 injured, including children, with 14 apartment blocks and 40+ houses damaged; in Dnipro and Pavlohrad infrastructure was hit; blasts also reported in Kyiv region, Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytskyi, Chernihiv, Cherkasy and Volyn..
He fanboys Putin, why do you think 🙄 Hopefully a mute point, hasn’t been seen since Wednesday 🤞
🔥 @mizzwelch.bsky.social : “It’s the complete moral collapse of the 🇺🇸 government… the cabinet meeting with 3.5 hours of superficial praise is so cringeworthy… he redecorated the Oval Office like Marie Antoinette and built himself a ballroom because he has zero intention of leaving…”
Drax inquiry will raise fresh questions about its billions in subsidies. Drax burns wood pellets to produce electricity. The most expensive electricity Claims of using sustainable sources are suspect. Biggest emitter of carbon. Despite being highly profitable receives billions in subsidies.
I’ve often wondered why Nigel Farage, who as godfather of the Brexit fiasco engineered the biggest British foreign policy disaster since Suez is continually offered so much space in some newspapers and broadcast media. Serious question. Thoughts welcome.
Assassination attempt 🤔
No emotional control, surprised only 1 sent off, ‘get into them’ is hardly the new age of football strategy.
Trumps says Europeans call him "The President of Europe". He must be going deaf if that's what he hears when people say "tangerine turd", "fat orange fuckwit", "bloviating manbaby" and "ignorant shithead".
"Am I missing something here?" "Is this really the scandal they're making out it is?" @benkentish.bsky.social accuses the Tories of hypocrisy for 'crucifying' Angela Rayner after buying another home.
Not only did South Park take another shot at Donald Trump, but they've also fully embarrassed those showering him with gifts.
UK Govt slammed for failing to deliver £200m Grangemouth funding. Money promised in Feb 2025 to rejuvenate the industrial site. Meanwhile, troubled steel plants in England nationalised and subsidised at short notice. Why is Scotland treated badly?
Hopefully this will haunt Infantino for the rest of his days, prepare for empty stadia, Berlin ‘36 vibes, 🇨🇦 & 🇲🇽 will do well.
Farage’s immigration ‘plan’ amounts to nothing more than threats (or promises, if you’re racist) to be as inhumane, unlawful, moronic and prejudiced as possible about asylum seekers. It’s the most unworkable, unthinkable, ruinous, Trump-branded horseshit. Brexit failure and toxic racism on steroids.
It’s their thing, nothing will shift it, not even their Brexit, the clip of delusional English immigrants (not ex-pats) in Spain yesterday said it all.
British immigrant to Spain tells GB News the reason she moved to Benidorm is that there are too many immigrants in the UK And her friend says the cost of living is lower and better inside the European Union than back in the UK which is outside the EU
Not even 9am. So far on Radio 6, the news bulletins have featured a mother saying her daughters aren't safe because of asylum seekers, a Tory politician lambasting Labour for crossing numbers & Badenoch encouraging councils to lodge legal challenges against hotels. An endless stream of hateful bile.
lol
"What an enormous humiliation for the Government..." Immigration researcher Zoe Gardner says the High Court's ruling that a hotel in Epping cannot house migrants is a "failure" and accuses the Government of fuelling "the fans of hatred" with "anti-migrant rhetoric". #Newsnight
Lavrov said Russia never cared about territories but wanted to protect "Russian people." I've added what Russian "protection" looks like below.
Putin must have absolute filth on him, also Trump admires murderous dictators.
Excellent from Ben Jennings... Nigel Farage should be taken to Spain and Portugal and asked to explain to the residents there that Net-Zero doesn't matter.
Stop giving earnest, normalised commentary on that demented auld fuck, ffs!
Israel has murdered at least 17 Palestinians in Gaza so far this morning.
60 Minutes Australia ran a well-reported 20 minute segment on Trump & Epstein yesterday. But it’s been pulled from the internet. It would be a pity if this link to the report went viral archive.org/details/60-m...
Russians are advancing in Zaporizhzhia oblast under the American flag.
Kharkiv right now. Moscovia bombs sleeping families. 4 victims including kids. Don’t tell me about peace that Putin wants. Do not dare.
BREAKING: At least 11 Palestinians, including four aid seekers, have been killed in Israeli attacks across the besieged Gaza Strip since dawn this morning, report our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/cavsw3
“Trump has adopted Russia’s position,” writes one Russian paper today. “He will present his peace ultimatum to Zelensky. And there’s no doubt it’s an ultimatum.” My review of today’s Russian papers. #ReadingRussia
Russian attack on #Kharkiv last night. Four people killed (a child among them), 18 more injured. There might be more people under the debris.
America: from storming Normandy to scrubbing Putin’s boots.
She’s not wrong
That’s a given, surely.
My summer holiday by JD Vance, aged 41 years and a few days | John Crace
😄 👏
Well, who could have predicted higher tariffs would lead to higher prices except every reputable economist? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Pub turns away JD Vance. Locals sick of his pretentious pomp already. “We’ve had a curtailment of our freedoms here, just by his mere presence, in terms of where we can walk and where we can be… And the American Secret Service knocking on people’s doors and asking about their Facebook profiles.”
On the day the government orders a clampdown on bad driving, JD Vance and hi entourage drive down the wrong side of a Cotswold street
Why not break-up the Union, out of the EU against our will, energy rich Scotland more than likely will have to bend over to contribute to the bail out English water companies & the money pit that is Hinkley Point C, the cost of HS2 balls-up after balls-up, etc., etc.
He can fuck right off, talk about projection, & we all know his boss is gonna get a spanking in Alaska as he fanboys Putin.
Good time to re-up my essay from a few years ago on what Russia's slaughter of Indigenous Alaskans can tell us about Moscow's designs on Ukraine (and elsewhere): www.politico.com/news/magazin...
Pointless interviewing anyone in, or associated, with the Trump regime, like when Kuenssberg rolls out the Russian Ambassador 🙄
Diana Magnay: "It was a direct hit on their broadcast tent outside al Shifa hospital.. the whole journalistic community are outraged.. his death & that of his colleagues adds to the huge number of journalists killed.."
Last month, Anas al-Sharif sounded the alarm on starvation in Gaza. Israel accused him of terrorism. "We warned this felt like a precursor to justify assassination," said Jodie Ginsberg of the Committee to Protect Journalists. Today he was killed in a targeted strike on a tent housing reporters.
Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.
Israeli army spokesperson Avichai Adraee recently re-shared a video falsely accusing al-Sharif of being a member of Hamas’s military wing. They continue to murder journalists for telling the truth.
A convicted felon says will meet with an indicted for war criminal to discuss the invasion the UN declared illegal. It's not a "peace summit", it's a criminal conspiracy.
Train stations hold so many memories, meetings with loved ones and partings with places of the heart. Tonight russian military destroyed a beautiful station in Losova, where trains would take you to the sea, to the steppes…
Aerial footage filmed by ITV News shows the scale of Gaza's destruction It’s estimated Gaza had as much, likely more, explosives dropped on it as Dresden, Hamburg and London in WW2 www.itv.com/news/2025-08...
The most corrupt White House in history. Here is an account of what people are paying, directly to a PAC called MAGA Inc, in order to meet the president, get pardons, change policy www.nytimes.com/2025/08/02/u...
This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen. By Emma Murphy, International Editor, ITV News. #Gaza
Margaret Thatcher’s sale of 1.9m council homes cost public purse £200bn. Tories bought votes. Policy fuelled shortages in social housing, turbocharged inequality. One in six private tenants in England now rents a former local authority home. Councils lack resources to build new homes.
More evidence of how Tory heroine Maggie Thatcher destroyed Britain: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
Revealed: Yorkshire Water boss was paid extra £1.3m via offshore parent firm
New aerial view of Gaza.
Sociopath gonna sociopath, a barely literate mobster & his flying monkeys have taken your country, barely believable.
When Trump came to his mother Mary Anne MacLeod’s homeland and raged about immigrants, “windmills”, Beyoncé and Jeffrey Epstein, the 79-year-old’s cognitive decline was plain to see. @rexhuppke.bsky.social in @heraldscotland.bsky.social
NEW: Another 91 starving people executed whilst queueing at aid stations in Gaza. 80 years ago, they were offered showers and gassed. Today, they are offered food and shot.
Rescue teams search for people under the rubble after at least 52 people are wounded.
No. Tice is a dick, follow the money.
Massive attack on #Kyiv tonight Six people, including a six-year-old boy, were killed and at least 52 injured.
Voted to leave the EU, love Boris Johnson, Covid was a hoax, think immigrants are the problem etc., etc.
NatWest to give further £1.5bn to shareholders weeks after UK govt sold the final part of its stake in the bailed-out bank. Govt bailed it out for £45bn. After rescue, sold shares at £10.5bn loss. Now bonanza for shareholders. City always wins. People get cuts higher taxes, benefit/service cuts.
Disgusting that bastard back in Scotland & we, the tax payer, are getting stiffed for the policing costs 😡
The welcome preparations continue
this is one of the worst crimes in human history and the entire global north and all of us in it share the responsibility
Yes but Infantino right up Trump so not going to happen, see also WCs Russia & Qatar.
1.5 million Gazans is 75% of the population, half of whom are children. This is *deliberate* starvation. Just one agency - UNRWA - has stated today it has enough food stockpiled outside the border to feed the population for months. The Israeli govt must let food and water in & stop the killing.
Kevin Maguire "Are you really blaming what Israel is now doing, killing Palestinians in huge numbers, on Hamas? Are you really doing that?" Michael Gove: "Yes" Gove isn't just an apologist for genocide. He's cheering it on #GMB
NEW: Landmark decision on UK's failure to investigate Russian interference to be handed down tomorrow. A five-year legal battle in UK and European courts comes to a head: will we finally - learn the truth about the Kremlin & the Brexit vote?
Hey, UK media! Are you just going to let Farage dump another steaming pile of populist bullshit on us *without ever* properly scrutinising his ideas or him…his funding, his riots, his links to Putin and Trump, his Brexit shitshow, his grifting side gigs, his lies, his ignorance…? Call. Him. TF. Out.
I thought he was America First, he should fucking vacation there!
Coming soon
"Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump's breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter," Taylor writes. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Among yesterday's arrestees is Deborah Hinton, an 81-year old retired magistrate with an OBE. That's Yvette Cooper's idea of a terrorist. Language has been turned on its head. The law has been turned on its head. Murdering children is righteous. Trying to stop it is terrorism.
Medical sources also report 116 killed across Gaza, including 38 desperate residents seeking food at GHF site.
Difficult to conceive of a more ill-judged decision then the one the Home Office took here. It is an affront to free speech of a kind which is really indistinguishable from what you'd see in a police state.
Has it ever been harder to pick a side? www.bbc.com/news/article...
Okay, first Red State going bankrupt because of what the Felon and his Russian regime signed into law taking away much needed laborers.
Thames Water announced losses of £1.65bn today When it was sold 30 years ago it had zero debt and made an operating profit of 33% Bills have gone up way above inflation, even before this year's nearly 50% increase They need to go bankrupt it is the only way to stop the theft
BREAKING: A water company with “money issues” just DOUBLED its CEO’s pay to £1.6 million. While sewage spills into rivers and pipes leak across the UK, Keith Haslett gets a RAISE of nearly £900k. How is this not a SCANDAL?
"The same arguments you use to defend genocidal fascists in the Israeli government could be used to defend Hamas." I gave dishonest Alan Dershowitz a lesson on history, morality, & war crimes in Israel & Palestine, on Piers Morgan's show. Watch the full debate: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFCg...
Infantino is a hand-wringing sycophant to power & money, no way WC coming out of US.
Disgusting, the fawning Infantino handling him like yer Grandpa on day release from his care home.
‘When 12 people were killed in Charlie Hebdo attacks, World Leaders thronged to Paris for a Solidarity March. But no world leader has organised a march to protest killing more than 60,000 civilians, 20,000 children, 237 UN aid workers, and 225 journalists in Gaza.’
Ten people, including six children, have been killed in an Israeli air strike while waiting to fill water containers in central Gaza on Sunday, emergency service officials say www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza continues a day after Israeli forces killed 110 Palestinians across the Strip.
Israel murdered more than 70 Palestinian men, women and children yesterday.
Ukraine was again subject to a massive missile and drone attack. Kyiv and Vasylkiv were targeted with Iskander-K cruise missiles, Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles, as well as Shahed-Geran and other drones. The number of injured in Kyiv following Russia’s massive overnight attack has risen to 16.
This is the Moygashel 12th July bonfire. Many bonfires receive huge funding and backing from loyalist paramilitary groups. The PSNI facilitate this and councils clean up after them. This paramilitary backed hate is being justified live on BBC Radio Ulster. The state is rotten to the core.
