Are you ready for Charlie Kirk to be taken off UK TV? Like if YES RT if IMMEDIATELY
People who are very vocal about their "faith" tend not to be virtuous people extolling the reason for their virtues, but nefarious people seeking to camouflage their immorality.
Obsession with immigration. Obsession with Reform. Obsession with Rayner. Sky News you are stoking the flames. Have you reported about the Guardianās revelations about Boris Johnson ?
Itās ok to say āBrexitāon Sky News now? No longer taboo? Brexit removed EU students from our universities. It was inevitable those students would be drawn from elsewhere. It was inevitable EU workers would be replaced from elsewhere, medics, nurses, hospitality, social care, agriculture..
Labour need someone with guts to vociferously challenge Reform lies. Who in the party has the ability to do this without sounding like a retro socialist stuck in the 70s? I can only think of Andy Burnham. I wish heād get back into parliamentary politics.
But the tree is blue
Musk because without Trump people will turn their back on Musk and then weāll be rid of all three.
25 years ago today.
The wealthiest man in the world has fully purchased the federal government of the United States. This is one of the most extraordinary crises in the history of this country and you need to ask whether your elected representatives are acting like it.
I have noticed that flies šŖ°are becoming aggressive and dive bombing around my head if they get into my flat. I first witnessed this last summer and again today on the first sunny day of spring this year. Is this strange or just normal and I have simply never noticed it?
I am a British. Iāve always kept an eye šļø on American politics, but now Iām equally engrossed with the U.K. and US situation. I am enraged by Trump, Musk, Vance, Farage, Tice, Lowe and all their sycophantic cronies. Itās compelling though; I paused Severance this week to switch over to the news.
I need someone to explain to me why itās always āif you canāt pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toastsā and not āif you canāt pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts, rockets and presidentsā. Explain it to me like Iām in kindergarten.
I havenāt been in a Wetherspoons or used or bought a Dyson product since 2016. Amazon Prime is a greater challenge but, I am determined.
You bookmarked that for 14 years ?!
Got me off Netflix. Compulsive viewing. Other than that, fuck all.
Iām British. We would go and quietly break protocol. Isnāt that what heās doing, but mouth fog horn loudly? Rip up those rules and heckle?
Iām almost 60 and Iāve not actually heard of any of those companies except Nat Lott. Either Iām out of touch, or they are insignificant?
He didn't wear a suit, but he received a pardon and was treated better than Zelenskyy was.
I have thousand of downloaded iTunes from the last 20 years. Now I have to pay for them unless I play from my old Mac.
He wasnāt respected when an academic. He demanded an apology from the university of another academic who disagreed with his conference paper. Tbh, heās a nasty piece of work.
With Netanyahu on a sun lounger. This has to be one of the saddest and most frightening propaganda stunts in the modern political history of the West.
Trump Gaza - America, you were warned. What have you done? This has to be one of the saddest and most frightening propaganda stunts in the modern political history of the West.
I used to like your tweets/ posts - now you are just posting quotes and facts. That is not effective and too cryptic for some people. Not everyone on BS thinks like you do - this can be read as an endorsement of Farage.
Boycott air bnb
#NATO's Article 5 was only invoked once, by šŗšø asking for defence after 9/11 As a result, 1,105 European and Canadian soldiers died in the 20-year Afghanistan war - 1/3 of all coalition casualties I don't recall the Europeans demanding America surrender its mineral wealth in exchange for their help
Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.
This is not how to mobilise - democrats need to get their act together re: social media.
Like Brexit, Trump & Musk's Agenda is 'Ideologically Incoherent & Ultimately Self-Defeating' The disaster of Brexit is now being replicated on a global scale by a US administration determined to shoot its country's own interests in the foot www.bylinesupplement.com/p/like-brexi...
Yes agreed, but Trump is deliberately attacking the EU because of his jealousy and deep grudge he has towards its success and regulatory framework. Heās a vindictive narcissist (possibly solipsist)
Just wondering why your wife is not by your side? Seems a strange choice of photo
We are nearing a precipice.
It is likely to be a record audience then.
An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: āI expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.ā
@teamlabouruk.bsky.social please now wake up! Trump and Vance are not our allies. The U.K. does not share their ideology. Please take the moral high road and align with the EU to help our economy and stop far-right intolerance and hatred becoming the norm. Enough is enough; Brexit failed. #Brexit
That made me laugh. Although itās actually scary.
I want to go back to the 1980s (minus Thatcher). No mobile phones, no hateful social media, less division, less hatred, British manners, and no Trump.
Trump and Modi sound like two crazy Bond villains. Building connections under the sea to other right wing governments. This is out in the sky ā¦but Musk got what he wants. What about the price of food Trump? #trump #Mod
Matt Goodwin populist promoter of far right-wing bile spouting off his ideological drivel and realising that outside the bosom of GBNews people think heās a nasty piece of work. #bbcqt
Thatās funny
Itās just optics. He wonāt be able to sustain this level of intensity. When plans start to crumble the mood will change. The price of eggs will then become the topic of talk again š„
Oh, so refusing to rejoin or move towards a customs union wasnāt enough?
Trump and Musk gibbering on about corruption.. unbelievably incoherent and hypocritical. America, what have you done?
For 3 years mine was over Ā£10k & none of the work the money was supposed to pay for has been done. This charge deters potential buyers. Buildings insurance is over Ā£800. Storm damage to roof ruined my bedroom ceiling; company didnāt pay. Recent pipe flood: Ā£650 excess.The system is a rip off.
Ok, but this is not the main issue with Brexit. Please focus on the economic damage, especially to small businesses that have closed or seen a slump in profits due to increased duties and untenable bureaucracy.
LOL
Iām beginning to think Trump is just playing with the world for sheer amusement. Has he got a terminal illness?
This Avie Sheck version of Radioheadās Creep singing with his mum (classical Indian singer) is amazing, especially her solo near the end. www.google.com/url?q=https:...
The world's richest man - perhaps the richest man who has ever lived - gloating about shutting down aid for the world's poorest people. All while posing as the champion of the common man. The great lie of populism in its most naked and morally putrid form.
Happens every time.
That made me laugh out loud.
It seems as if your constitutional arrangements already lack checks and balances. No separation of powers, partisan SC, executive orders. Maybe you need an overhaul.
I was thinking more German frau 1930s.
Labour trying to be righteous and act with integrity by not crossing red lines. Absolutely the wrong tactic. Do you not realise youāve already lost right wing Brits who lent you their vote? Have you not learned anything from the democrats, whose ānicenessā let a serial liar into power? Play the game
Iād did my first degree at Bristol University (1987). I lived in Redland Road and worked in the Prince of Wales pub. Fond memories!
Andrea Jenkyns at a Reform rally. That dress has to be a deliberate choice. Subtle.
Iāve voted Labour all my life - not out of habit but because I think their policies are always the best. If there was an election tomorrow Iād vote Lib Dem. Iāve had enough of this pathetic Brexit stance and pandering to Reform voters, who hate Labour. Starmer, you are too weak to do whatās right.
It is all well and good criticising Musk but itās not going to stop the wave of right wing ascendency. Liberals have to stop being so nice and mobilise platforms like Telegram, TikTok and YouTube to set the narrative. Trump used his time out of office to do exactly this.
Why does every man between 25 and 65 have a podcast, who listens to all these podcasts, do they know there are other hobbies than recording podcasts?
This is so obvious. The same motive as Nasen Saadi.
Expedite. Itās long overdue.
Dear Americans ā¦
No foreign power has ever posed as massive and immediate a threat to the United States as the current administration.
Ah, and there was me thinking you had an ideological reason, given your previous role. I will look out for your posts on statistics covering the rest of the economy, including recent positive results.
Whatās your point?
A reminder that Trump, the luckiest man on earth, like in 2017, is inheriting a strong, growing economy with months & months of job growth & growing real wages (even though most Americans donāt know it!), & will almost certainly 1) take credit for it and 2) screw it all up again.
CARTOON OF THE DAY š«¤šŗšø
Ultimately, to help all sectors of society taxes need to rise for the most wealthiest in society, including corporations, but this is unlikely to happen. My original point is that there are many pensioners drawing a pension who simply donāt need it.
If you research it you will see that wealthy people do not forfeit their state pension. There are many wealthy pensioners.
Wealthy pensioners do not need the state pension. Thatās a fact.
Means test the state pension and use the money to invest in 16-30s
They want the algorithm
Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?
The accuracy of thisā¦
Childbirth is off the scale pain, but you know itās going to end relatively soon, so that makes it bearable.
Very witty!
Brilliant š¤©
I canāt believe the amount of people who missed the joke.
I get that, but then why wasnāt their reporting less biased before Labour were elected? Whatās that got to do with Trump who was elected months after?
Women in the US might fall for this crap, but in the UK we are a bit more savvy to scams.
Sky News - you clearly want to take Starmer down. You are no different to GBNews. Your political reporters have lost their integrity.
OK thatās quite funny.
Iām sick of these billionaires and their vanity projects.
Spending time online can leave you with a warped view of the world and that's a shame. Good people have always outnumbered bad people and things generally get better. Hold onto that x
I donāt wish to be rude, but America became a laughingstock and embarrassment the first time he was elected. Most British people hate what he stands for and how he acts. Donāt be fooled by our right-wing press and social media.
I fear there is deep truth here.
Snoopy knows
Itās time that Labour dropped its ridiculous Brexit line and got us back in the UK. Itās the answer to so many problems. Brexiteers will never vote for you again. Let it go šŖšŗ
If you ever get lonely, just remember that the Mars rover is programmed to sing happy birthday to itself every year.
This video uses grains of rice to give a visual comparison of Muskās wealth. It is truly shocking and made me so angry that those with one grain think heās their saviour.
The Wealth Inequality in America... broken down into grains of rice. It's stunning when you look at it this way, and apply it to how Trump/Musk/MAGA want to rob Americans (the Middle Class, Poor, Veterans, & Elderly) to enrich themselves. www.reddit.com/r/interestin...
Loved the way you wrote āpub blokeā. Adam Brooks is so arrogant and an āexpertā on everything. That would annoy him! Matt Goodwin is an embarrassment to academia. I heard from colleagues that if people challenged his conference papers heād complain and demand an apology. Such a narcissist.
Yes! I work far more hours at home then when Iām at work. Fewer distractions and unfortunately my Mac is in my lounge. I need to address this.
Definite parallels. One of them will āghostā the other soon.
