What has happened to Yvette Cooper? She seems to have completely lost touch with the voters who elected Labour. In fact, the entire Labour government seems to have lost their way. With so many missteps, I worry we could actually end up with a Reform government and Nigel Farage in charge.
This is an Israeli who spoke the truth. I thank him very much for it. Tell Trump this when he told Netanyahu, "You are a war hero."
Not flying iss likely to be a problem as he's due in the UK from September 17 to 19, 2025, where he will be hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle. If they plan to prop him up through the State Dinner it will be a bit awkward.....

Axios: Trump considering stepping back from Ukraine peace talks. WH official: “We are going to sit back and watch. Let them fight it out for a while and see what happens.” Truly a smashing success, that Alaska summit.
Admitting to breaking the law is no longer something we need to fear, apparently
2016: Tony Gallagher as editor of The Sun tells ITV News that multiple sources say the Queen backs Brexit 2025: Tony Gallagher as editor of The Times publishes an article saying the Queen was a Remainer
Utter bollocks as usual. The only mention of the ECHR was in confirming that it wasn't considered at all by the judges. Deliberate lying to incite hatred and division by the the frog-faced gobshite.
It was never a contest. A trained KGB agent vs. an ignorant dementia ridden old geezer. Trump in always an embarrassment on the world stage.
Experts spend years training to understand the limitations of their advice. They learn how to correctly do the analysis, which leads to a decision. But I guess a completely uneducated guess is just as good?
A little knowledge can be dangerous; none at all is lethal
This seems to be organised.....not something I associate with Reform UK ltd.
Someone needs to take control of the narrative. With an aging population we will soon NEED immigration to maintain services.
So acc to a very agitated Malcolm Rifkind on Today we are in a national crisis re Immigration and the only solution is to leave the EHCR. - This won’t solve anything. It’s just Brexit 2.0. The absolute hysteria that has engulfed some politicians and the U.K. media is astonishing. To put it mildly.
Perhaps they held a séance?
This👇👇👇 made me cry
Yep. They are ..
Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.
I’ve never argued against the license fee - but I am now. The idea that I’m funding this unremitting political propaganda campaign is appalling.
I am pretty sure he has no idea what mitochondria actually do in a cell. I think reading this gave me 'mitochondrial damage'.
Do we have to wait until the next election for Labour to learn that you 'never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it?'
Switzerland has a heavily armed population and mental health issues, and video games and religion but no school shootings. Odd that 🤔
Those who have the power to stop mass shootings can go to hell with their "thoughts and prayers." Do something about it, you evil bastards.
Is the BBC Reform UK's mouthpiece? Yup. "Researchers at Cardiff University have produced a detailed analysis of every episode of the BBC’s flagship Question Time programme broadcast between September 2014 and July 2023 to see if the broadcaster was balancing political viewpoints."
Well done Ed Davey
The media is biased and wants a right wing government of any description. Labour is in power and yet is doing nothing about media bias, despite literally being in charge of who sits on the BBC Board, Ofcom and broadcasting regulations. My sympathies are running thin. 🙄
It truly is a national disgrace and an affront to joirnalism
Farage gets more publicity from the BBC than all the other parties put together. It’s a national disgrace
Starmer (or McSweeny more likely) is out of control
Breathtaking lack of self-awareness from non-Emmy winner Donald Trump to Emmy winner Seth Meyers.
Is this an example of an increasingly right wing media creating a space where it shouldn't exist?
"Bluntly, if the government cannot make the point that it is a bad idea to give money to the Taliban, it is far from clear to me when a better opportunity to attack Farage is going to present itself."- on.ft.com/3HKB1zO via @stephenkb.bsky.social
I'll get Nanny to come and tuck you and Bunty in later @sirmichaeltake.bsky.social
America is being run by the inmates of a mental institution. They put the straight jackets on again when the cameras stop rolling.
👇 read this thread BEFORE you agree with Nigel Farage.......
🍊🤡 doesn't seem to realise that Ukraine were INVADED .... Wtf
Farage the top story on the BBC 6 o’clock news. Why don’t we get the more important parties like the Lib Dems and the Greens? We don’t need the despicable man given airtime when he is responsible for a lot of the mess we are in.
👇👇👇👍
Farage doesn't have plans. He has the back of a cigarette packet. And after ten years of this nonsense, chaos and hate you'd think someone would have the bollocks to point that out.
It's important to assume that Reform in Government would indeed try to do this. The right thing is not to tell the public that this won't happen - so they can therefore vote for Reform without guilt - but rather that a vote for Reform is a vote for the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people.
Why oh why do we continue to provide a platform for this far-right propaganda nonsense???
I have written to Nigel Farage in response to his visit to my constituency of Bicester and Woodstock today.
🐞
David, The liberal Democrats have 72 MPS and control 76 local councils. I take exception to the fact that you say that no parties are objecting to Farage's obscene comments Here is our leader talking loud and clear bsky.app/profile/edda...
A day of shame for the UK. A political party proposes mass deportations and the response from other political parties is not to condemn this as going further than even Mosley or the National Front.
This looks like a very sick old man. Is he still able to stand and walk away from the table without assistance?
I go. I try. And I will keep trying, even though it feels like a losing battle. Because I remember the whole point of the far-right astroturfing of social media is to make it feel like a losing battle, to make us give up. Anyway, a few snippets on small boat crossings and immigration.
If he's telling porkies or just making stuff up why not ask for some evidence? For whatever reason, journalists seem no longer to want to get to the truth ...
Why does 🍊🤡 want war? I thought he was ending lots of wars?
Is it called "Donald"?
Serious question. Why do apparently intelligent people confuse pathological lying for 'authenticity and purpose'?
I’d take an mRNA vaccine to boost my immunity against a virus over horse dewormer, bleach, bright light or chloroquine any day of the week.
Jeremy Hunt literally owning a property empire, sells a number of properties and avoids a huge slice of tax. Nothing said. Angela Rayner buying a house on the coast & it’s absolutely outrageous. Working class girl, getting above her station. Aspiration, only when it suits. This country eh?
But as you scale towards $/£50 million, maintaining that level of central control becomes a massive bottleneck. It actually hinders your ability to react quickly, innovate, and ultimately, grow.
Very Christian JD. Thank you for your attention to this matter
Anyone expecting the government to start making sense at this point has clearly not been listening to any minister for the last 15 months......
Did she just refer to Trump as "Cankles McTaco Tits" 😭😭😭
Does she hear herself say this???
Hollywood starlets to pay more for their weight loss drugs?
A lesson for journalists: don't work with animals, children, or morally aware teenagers.
Unbelievable racist sh1t from Douglas Carswell
Indecision affects many business owners. Do you worry about that?
Britain isn't the US - but is Christian nationalism becoming a political force here? I spoke to US author Katherine Stewart about dark money, and the growing transatlantic ties, from Nigel Farage and JD Vance to Paul Marshall and James Orr. New on Democracy for Sale
"i want to serve people and help others", said no politician in the last five years
This could be said of most of the US Administration, surely?
👇👇 excellent article from @rafaelbehr.bsky.social
I give up with AI
where are the bs in raspberry?
This is the issue of having people ignorant of technology legislating said technology. I think we are less than a month away from them declaring they will solve it with AI.
One of the most transformative concepts I introduce to service-based entrepreneurs is the power of **productization**. It's a game-changer, shifting from a reactive, time-for-money exchange to a proactive, scalable, and ultimately, more profitable model. Read more 👉 https://lttr.ai/AhbOr

Another gem from @sirmichaeltake.bsky.social
i cant believe a country that has spent decades measuring success purely by the accumulation of material wealth has lost its moral compass
It's not the most important thing at the moment, but I'm so embarrassed for America. To have world leaders concern themselves with symbols of placation for an overgrown manchild. To have the leader of a country fighting for its life thinking about what he wears to the White House.
Those are all democracies......
I feel so profoundly sad that a country with such potential is run by those who seemingly celebrate not understanding anything except how to look good on TV
Despite treating allies like adversaries, tRump wants respect. How unself-aware is this man?
The art of the deal.......
I think the fact that the president can make up a bullshit pretext about crime, activate various states' national guard units and invade a major city with basically minimal pushback of any kind reflects very poorly on Americans generally
This statement is almost as embarrassing as the Alaska 2025 summit was.....
When the Alaska summit fails to stop people talking about Epstein....
Exactly 👇👇
The lack of energy and rambling incoherence are getting difficult to hide......
👇👇 UK and Europe need to take a leaf out of the Canadian's playbook who seem to have worked this out.
The U.S. sometimes seems modernistic, flashy, technologically futuristic. In truth, it’s actually pessimistic, regressive, & in defense of capitalism’s past. Every day we defend the past pessimism that “It won’t work” to do things Europe, Japan, S Korea have successfully done for decades.
Not only is this deplorable racism, it's not even close to reality...
The meeting was a disaster for everyone except two people. Trump got his photo op and his ego boost. Putin got his photo op, whitewashing of war crimes and no sanctions. No one in Ukraine, Europe or the United States benefited in any way.
Who would have guessed that someone for whom all business and legal negotiation is based on bluff and bluster would have had nothing other than bluff and bluster in international affairs.
I'm not sure that's a good idea in my case.
Love this.
Well said @sirmichaeltake.bsky.social . These are true deep thinkers, and such witty repostes!!!
The US has an ethics agency? What have they been doing since January? Haven't they noticed tRumps grifting?
I listened to the episode and was very disappointed that these two co-hosts appeared to ignore several political parties. Surely we have more to discuss than failing Labour, failing Conservatives and outright mad Reform Ltd
