They just forgot to add that she’s his niece
Why are the UK government spending taxpayers money posting content on X? Asking for those people who haven’t been radicalised
Pure fascism
Getting food poisoning and having to run through the entire set of Nickelodeons Guts and solve a Scooby Doo mystery with a living talking dog before you can use a toilet
rip to everyone whos become delusional after talking to chatgpt but im built different. like actually different. according to chatgpt im some kind of god. the one who decides
"i've got access to the kids, but they don't wanna see me"
Yet Whether he’s dead yet.
Protesters who descended on a Falkirk hotel which they believed to house asylum seekers were met by hundreds of anti-racism activists on Saturday
If Trump is actually ill, I truly hope that he's getting the best medical attention that RFK Jr. can offer.
this site is bad! it's going to fail! its user base has plateaued! it's not making any money! nobody here is smart except for me! everybody here is stupid! nobody is having any good discussions! i don't like being here! ok that's it for now. be back in 90 minutes
Probably contractual arrangements to get the Heritage dollar.
“Immigrants have mobile phones” is the current made up moral panic equivalent to “poor people have TVs in council flats”
Or succeeded depending on what you believe their ulterior motives are. From where I sit, the British media is desperate to make Farage PM in 2029.
The British media have failed
Many of them will view it as a near victory.
she looks nothing like him
Reference question of the day: If that Peter motherfucker was just now picking peppers, how come those motherfuckers were already pickled? That's not how fuckin pickling works.
Jack Straw was central to the UK's support for 'war on terror' rendition and torture. David Blunkett pioneered the UK's mass citizenship-stripping regime. *Of course* they agree with Reform and the Tories that we should opt out of the ECHR and weaken human rights protections.
I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.
Poor little Darren Grimes, notorious cheque cashier, failed fashion student, best pals with Dan Wooton but still couldn’t make it on GBNews, now he’s a local councillor and seems to think he’s the next Churchill. Best known for masturbatory habits.
Brexit continues to be a fascist project, and taking us out of the EHCR was always the end game for a lot of them, so they can screw us properly.
They’ve been on a long game with the EHCR and I still think it was the ultimate goal for a lot of Brexiteers - so they can start to strip away our rights thoroughly.
These are just ordinary brits, with their life-sized cardboard cutouts of politicians that we all have, and their Freikorps that they've founded. It could be any one of us.
A proudly racist man with a previous conviction for violent disorder has set up a militia to "tackle crime" and still gets the soft soap treatment
Oh good, all the shit people are coming out against the ECHR. They can't offer anything meaningful, so hope to create a new Brexit type issue. Our political class is utterly bereft of intellectual thinking.
Good: Canada is leading the U.K. and France in boycotting American goods due to Trump’s tariffs theconversation.com/canada-is-le...
Who’d have thought that we’d be here in 2025 with Stephen Yaxley Whatever fanboying Rylan.
Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?
"This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them."
Racism. Next question.
I was surprised to see Gloria Gaynor on the list of Kennedy Honors because she's not, well, you know. But this explains it. She gave money to Ted Cruz, Mike Johnson, and Jim Jordan. meidasnews.com/news/exclusi...
What’s the Reform line going to be when Trump declares martial law and starts locking up elected representatives?
Mr Robert Bloom has resigned as a Councillor, having been elected for the Reform Party, after his sustained virulent racist tirades shouting the n-word at his black neighbours were revealed www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/...
Trump on deploying the National Guard to Chicago: "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States."
Would it be easier to just describe them as scumbags?
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.
Don't think Chip is going to make the White House press pool after this
Regarding the liberal fantasy of saving X by posting on it more — @pbump.com has it exactly right www.pbump.net/o/the-power-...
This shows what's possible under public ownership of rail, including soon in England. Hope UK Govt ministers are watching
But yes, it was Biden who was out to lunch.
Jesus fucking Christ. I honestly blame Pharage as the main reason our nation is currently under a cloud of widespread racism.
Another big up for Nigel from the BBC, shoving in a mention of them being up in the polls despite it being years until an election, so they can carry on promoting the slack mouthed fash. Get ready for fracking, Reform UK tells energy firms www.bbc.com/news/article...
The mainstreaming of far right discourse 2015 to 2025 in two pictures. The first is from a right wing troll that caused widespread outrage. The second is a supposedly serious journalist just asking questions
This is just getting ridiculous. Nothing that has happened (or is reported below the headline to have happened) this weekend remotely justifies talk of an explosion or mass protests. The media are confecting a crisis, and, in some sections of it, hoping to provoke one. 1/3
Well now, that just sounds delicious.
God bless the melting pot
‘I’m a lesbian and feminist. I’ve been harmed by men. So I wouldn’t fight for trans people if it hurt women’s rights. Yet I’m called a groomer and a misogynist’ Rebecca Don Kennedy, head of the Equality Network, on how dark it’s got for trans people in Britain www.heraldscotland.com/news/2541309...
Friends, someone* put too much oil in when seasoning this pan and now it looks like this. Is it beyond redemption? *not me
If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.
Leaving behind our private lives and our careers when we left DC in early June was a very difficult decision. But between this and federal troops occupying the streets of Washington, I must say it does increasingly feel like we are privileged to have made it out just in time.
Meanwhile, we also reveal how Farage gave a paid-for speech to a room full of anti-abortion extremists and alt-right campaigners He told them they were "saving western civilisation" observer.co.uk/news/nationa...
This is embarrassing
The laziness and implied bias of the BBC here is extreme - "No 10 did not comment" presumably because the CPS and courts are independent, but there's no attempt to find anyone who would argue the opposite view, just the unchallenged whine of someone who called for asylum seekers to be burnt to death
The BBC is under no obligation to post articles like this on the internet. But it has lost all the internal capability to understand why it shouldn't, and this is the end result of a deliberate process to remove that capability from it.
Far Right party organising anti-immigration protests you say? Funnily enough, Suella Braverman (Conservative, Fareham and Waterlooville) has been pumping up her Facebook followers for weeks about plans for something in Waterlooville.
They’re two steps away from “Man in pub says hanging is too good for them”
what the fuck is this headline from the BBC, I feel like I'm losing my mind www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Well, I suppose she could seek asylum somewhere. More seriously, the political right seems to have gone utterly mad. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08...
🤔
they desperately want footage of soldiers shooting americans
It really wasn't too long ago that if an FBI director had written such a thing and the subject was under valid FBI investigation, the FBI director would've very publicly recused themselves to ensure public confidence in his integrity. Clearly that's not even a consideration here.

I still have flashbacks about the deep fried steak.
It's weird. I know what my utopia is: people getting on with their lives in secure homes, free from persecution and having every opportunity to be who they want be without some twat making their life a misery. But all I hear about is a utopia where the people in mine don't exist or are subjugated.
Federal forecasts and multiple price trackers show continuing inflation for common items such as eggs and beef.
Are you getting one though?
Making the Kühnen salute, with thumb, index and middle finger extended to form a “W”—as five protestors accompanying the Reform councillors are doing in the photo—is a criminal offence in Germany. The salute was popularised by the German Neo-Nazi Michael Kühnen.
I’ve just noticed that when I read out numbers I use O (the letter “o” instead of 0) and have realised it’s this man’s fault.
Brothel garage sale: $1
The British media in 2025, wondering why their contact lists of regular pundits are full of cheerleaders for fascism.
I thought Trump had fixed it so drugs were being given away with money?
Gavin Newsom responds to Fox's Dana Perino melting down over his tweets:
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.
Thanks! I fell out of the habit of photographing dinners a while back but have my Mum living with us now, and I seem to feel the need to provide evidence to the rest of the family that I’m feeding her 😂
Look at this hot nonsense and then look at Trump's abysmal polling numbers - he's hot garbage in all categories - and remind me again why politicians and corporate leaders are allowing this to happen. The arrow pointing to the right side of history is brighter than the sun.
"i got a whole piece about it in the paper" is what happened John

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.
My job as a professor is not to create a serviceable worker. My job is to help foster thoughtful citizens or community members. If that sounds fanciful it’s bc corporate interests have spent decades framing how we talk about education so they don’t take the heat for immiserating labor conditions.
This. Vance wasn’t here for a holiday.
Is there any explanation for how we went from half of parliament and the whole national press up in arms - roaring that even a suspicion of racism is utterly unacceptable and those accused must be destroyed - to shrugs and awkward coughs as the main parties fight to do Enoch Powell speeches loudest.
The truth is it's going to be a choice between people like this and a Labour or Labour led coalition at the next election. If you think Labour is the same as this sack of shit don't complain when you wake up to a Reform/Tory government in 4 years time and consequences that will follow.
Oh my God

Sad to see this one go, and reminded of how magnificent Bernadette was.
Wow Sally Rooney. Fair play. ‘I feel obliged to state once more that… I too support Palestine Action. … If the British state considers this "terrorism", then perhaps it should investigate the shady organisations that continue to promote my work and fund my activities, such as WH Smith and the BBC.’
If public humiliation worked, Glasman would have stopped doing whatever it is he’s doing.
Irrespective of how John feels, his words are simply not compatible with an inclusive prize that celebrates all LGBTQ+ people. Just like a racist statement would not be allowed in a prize for writers of colour, or a sexist statement tolerated for a prize for feminist writers. /11
