It's testament to the bravery and resilience of the Ukrainan people that this is all Russia has been able to steal after three and a half years.

There’s a lot to hate about the world the Brexiters created. But the deliberate failure to hold Brexiters to account is right up there. The fact that they’re still strutting around the stage and not in the reject-bin of public life is a tragic indictment of our politics and our press.
No actually I don't like people hanging and spraying any old crap anywhere they like, I don't care if it is a 'flag'.
Imagine if you started investigating where the 'loans' came from, and the cost of that gold wallpaper. Oh.

Appeals court says Trump's fentanyl and reciprocal tariffs are unlawful. Looking forward to the 6-3 SCOTUS decision which upholds them anyway because the Constitution clearly states Trump is an omnipotent God-Emperor destined to reign upon the Golden Throne until all is returned to dust.
Exactly. We don't know who these people are...
The anti-asylum protesters say, "Leave our kids alone." Well, 40% of the arrested Farage rioters and more than two-thirds of the arrested Bristol rioters had been reported for domestic abuse. One might ask how many of them might have abused their children.
You win.
Yeah, they invariably do.
What 'bad things' do you imagine are happening over here?
Not in this case.
MAGA Republican town halls are a dumpster fire nationwide. Watch Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO) get dragged like a rag doll for saying Trump has the best interests of Americans at heart. The People: “He cares about Putin— and his dictator friends. Not about us.” Keep taking the gloves off, America!
The best piece I’ve read this year on Trump’s increasingly blatant lurch towards total power. To quote Sinclair Lewis, if you think “it can’t happen here” you are just not paying attention. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Poor Charlie's assuming anyone will want to breed with him.
What the hell is this nonsense from @skynewss.bsky.social ? Why are they even toying with the ‘political judiciary’ line? Dangerous foolishness from a respectable news outlet. @sophyridge.bsky.social any chance of an internal editorial chat… news.sky.com/story/politi...
You filthy freeloading Europeans need to sort your shit out and start taking more responsibility for your own security NO NOT LIKE THAT
I'd put the lot of them in small boats, tbh.
It will be interesting to see how the BBC and Sky News begin to realise that the growing signs of distress in the global economy might turn out to be of more personal significance to their viewers than small boats crossing the Channel
...and it's the UK that has a problem with free speech? Righto.
...and you have to show the pariah passport.
Exactly this It’s almost like fascism is now an acceptable form of politicial belief - it must never be allowed to be normalised in any way, and Labour & Starmer need to call it out!
Sadly, unlike Apocalypse Now or the first two Godfather films, Megalopolis was an absolute turkey.
It was a court decision not Starmer’s. The decision , rightly, avoids mob rule.
😁
Trump is a vindictive bastard.
Nigel Farage has, inevitably, said that this ruling means “Illegal migrants have more rights than the British people under Starmer”. The court’s short summary makes it explicit in two separate places that didn’t even enter into its reasoning, which centred on criteria for injunction.
We regret no pictures can be returned to you.
Is it "being a Nazi"?
On where UK Bluesky does have a blind spot, I haven’t seen anything on here about the vandalism of Policy Exchange’s office (see below). This kind of stuff should be called out and criticised and I’m very happy to do so.
The man’s a blithering idiot. The whole Trump administration is an experiment to discover if you can run a country with people you stumble across on a golf course.
Thread.
Was it a huge bucket of clickbait?
"Come friendly bombs..."
So what's he going to do about it? Sweet FA.
Hardly anywhere if ICE have anything to do with it.
Circular retail is not just about what we buy, but how and where we buy it.
Knives out for Angela Rayner. Not even spoons out for the likes of 'Boris' Johnson...
Don't tell Trump!
Allegedly.
Is it something to do with nostalgia for a mythical golden past, blended with unjustifiable arrogance and a baffling tendency to platform ignorance? Oh, and a few good tunes.
Nobody is going to care. Nobody.
#MAGA defined.
The defìnition of what constitutes 'news' is becoming increasingly elastic. TV personality speculates about budget.
The driver of this car and his racist mate tried to run me off the M1 today because I was driving a car with a German number plate. I've never experienced anything like it. It went on for minutes until he saw a patrol vehicle and fled. 😡 Fuck him and the Farage he rode in on. #FarageFascists
With each new wave of attacks on Ukraine, Putin is making Trump look weaker and weaker. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #Kiev
Forgot to mention on my drive from ‘Norf’ London into Central yesterday. Not a single lamppost was shagged by the ‘Turkish’ flag of St. George(Thick toothless Cuntz) . The Air was clean, and the greedy black cabs had to go onto Electric avenue. People looking happy and smiling. It’s a London Ting
...and the nukes, please.
Exactly the same thing Starmer's Labour are doing with Farage's racist bullshit, ie enabling it. Both parties' top advisors are fucking morons.
Sensitive advertising there.
Something tells me we're not in Kansas any more, Toto.
Oh yes!
Idiot.
EPSTEIN.
If the US wants to compete with China it needs a functioning government, led by a grown-up.
Yes but. You only need about 35% of the voters to form a government under FPTP. Reform play to their base.
I don't think we realise just how bad this ratchet effect could get. Last year Farage was saying mass deportations weren't practical, now he's been bounced into promising them, and his press allies are cheering him on. The fanatics on X are leading the discourse, and it's only getting more extreme.
One thing having secondary school age kids has brought home to me is how much the reduction of history to WWII is sustained by the education system. Feels like my kids have covered that conflict four times or more already, yet vast tracts of British history (let alone Europe) passed over in silence.
‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens theonion.com/no-way-to-pr...
The maddest thing about the plague of US school shootings is that NRA types say the 2nd Amendment can't be changed as it's a Constitutional right. What don't they understand about the word 'amendment'?
Have they banned themselves from their own club, then?
Trump is the vulgarians' vulgarian.
Well he can get stuffed, then.
😁
Good.
But Epstein, tho
Everything else from here on out is just a matter of degree and wondering how bad it will get and how far it will go. Do we end up “merely” like Hungary, or do we go all the way toward an American Reich? Read @vermontgmg.bsky.social on our slouch into fascism.
Mañana.
Preposterous.
A lot of people would be quite happy to see the suffering. That's the trouble.
They're not even bringing a spoon to this knife fight
If Stalin was alive today, he'd recognise this kind of cabinet meeting.
I can’t believe his hand isn’t healing as quickly as his ear did.
We don't know who THESE people are.
Two thirds of those arrested at Bristol anti-immigration riots involved in domestic abuse reports Generally speaking the angrier the protestor is about the imagined crimes of immigrants the more likely it is that they are hiding a few secrets about themselves. www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...
"Yes they can!" Good campaign slogan...😁
The Labour response to Farage policy of leaving the Refugee & Humam Rights Convention should not be “he won’t deliver”. It should be “this is not morally right” (not “British values” even). Voters want to see authentic consistent leadership. Not debate the workability of cruelty.
They have no self-respect whatsoever, do they?
Embarrassing and infuriating in equal measure to see ministers falling over themselves to avoid offending the "I'm not racist but..." mob. They're not going to vote for you, chaps. #C4News
Hey, Labour! It's a spade. Call it a fucking spade. #Reform #Fascist #Farage
Too many folk overthinking this. "Mass deportations are an abhorrence that a civilised country should not countenance". That's all. No need for logistical advice, the spirit of Churchill, or picking your favourite previous action down the slippery slope.
We expect the media and Tory class to tell Angela Rayner to stay in her lane… But if you’re working class and joining in to do their bidding for them I have some words for you…
White House Downplays Trump Hand Bruise As Least Concerning Part Of Body https://theonion.com/white-house-downplays-trump-hand-bruise-as-least-concerning-part-of-body/
Farage hasn't announced a policy. He's taken a leaf out of Trump's playbook - say something guaranteed to produce a headline, secure in the knowledge that the base isn't going to bother itself with practicalities. Or facts. Pavlovian politics.
*sensationalism!
There is indeed mushroom for improvement.
The "I'm Spartacus!" approach is doing Labour immense damage.
If you have to keep telling people you're a 'smart person', you're really not.
So National Front policies have been mainstreamed by a party with four MPs, thanks to a media that's more interested in sensationslism than actual news. Shame on all of them.
...more data centres. Did you forget those?
Must be fun working in the offices behind the banner.
And this is supposed to be surprising?
*whole, dammit.
Drivel aimed at gullible shitkickers in Red states.
Good title for your autobiography...
Sure it will. 😂
Another private empire for some libertarian crypto-nut. The sooner the while Ponzi scheme collapses the better for everyone.
So much this. Good parenting/guardianship is not always about having all the answers. It's often about humility and modelling how to find them.
