Nigel Farage should testify before MPs on Reform UK's local newspaper ban instead of flying to Washington to complain about "free speech" before the US Congress, the Lib Dems have said. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
When Nigel Farage said he'd feel uncomfortable living next door to Romanian migrants, his comments were widely condemned, with then Labour leader Ed Miliband calling them a "racial slur". Now 11 years later, such sentiments are not just condoned, but actively encouraged by our Labour Prime Minister
I just saw an article that said a CEO that stole a hat from a kid at a tennis event was the most hated man in America. I feel like that's forgeting someone.
1 September 1939, the German Army invaded Poland to begin WW2, the bloodiest and most costly war in terms of human life. The country that suffered the most, in proportion to its population, was Poland. #WW2 #History #HistoryMatters

What the f**k is Labour playing at?
9 Former CDC Directors who were all qualified for their posts are warning that deranged chaos agent RFK Jr is a danger to public health. I’d say he’s actively destroying public health and committing murder on a daily basis with his destructive monstrous agenda.

You know all those slasher-horror movies where they go in the haunted house or down the basement? And you scream, "OMG, how TF could they be so dumb!?" Yeah, well – that's America right now, with RFK jr as the head of HHS, including the CDC, NIH, etc. No good endings. Insane AF.

People who scream and cry about "woke" all the time are usually uneducated, intellectually hampered, and don't have the tenacity to handle actual debate or being proven wrong. Pictured: typical far-right reaction to being proven wrong.
Why on earth do the Tories want to keep people locked into high energy bills? And, come to that, why is the BBC citing Reform but saying nothing about climate science or renewable alternatives? Complete madness - except for the fossil fuel industry of course
Putin has not changed. In the last 25 years he started four wars. He can only be kept in check through strong deterrence. We must be precise and fast with the surge in our defence posture ↓ europa.eu/!wgH6QK

Sorry but I'm not going to spend all day on BlueSky arguing & re-iterating the same point(s). The reality is this, Starmer has 3 avenues open to him:- ⬆️ He can achieve signif growth/Sgl Mkt 📰 Regulate media to stop evthing he does getting misrepresented 🥀 Carry on as he has done & be ousted.
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
Don't shake hands with Putin. That seems like an easy thing to remember. 💀 Oh well. Have a great weekend everybody! 😂😅🤣
At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.
Good God, Starmer's at it again. We're seeing people attacked and racially abused in the streets, businesses being vandalised and graffitied, and all he can think to do is keep beating the "!!! FEAR IMMIGRANTS !!!" drum louder and louder and louder. He is the enemy now as much as the Tories were.
Absolutely
A simple test of humanity. Do you support Palestine and their right to exist?
Labour are making the same mistake with the Angela Rayner house row now as they did with the gift scandal last year: it is not a defence to point to the Tories and say "Ha! They did LOADS of bad stuff. What hypocrites!". All the general public see is TWO bad political parties. Fight with facts.

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
We’ve had Russian assets in our government for so long that one even has a nickname: MOSCOW MITCH. NO ONE DID SHIT.

Still staggered that Byline has no less than six contributors named on the Kremlin’s latest stop list - way more than any other UK media organisation. But beginning to wonder if this is as much to do with our investigation of the Levedevs (who still control a raft of UK media)
Well I’m on the 4th book of the Booker longlist and we can all agree that complaints that culture has “cancelled” books by men who write about men were rather overblown. (Of this category on the list, Seascraper was superb, & obvs they’re not *just* about men)

This is the most compelling case I’ve seen yet that America is no longer a democracy but an authoritarian state. Not a *soon-to-be* authoritarian state—a *current* one.
Sure, maybe ten years ago it was, for some, a considerable accusation to make – but not any more. Not for a long while. You'd have to be willfully ignoring so damn many things not to see it now. It sure AF looks like we have a pedofile sexual predator for a president. Release the Epstein files.

I find it astonishing that there are actually a substantial amount of people who don’t realise the strength of unions and the good they provide for people… astonishing.
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
My hope has always been that private insurance would move closer to Medicare. Apparently, thanks to the felon, it is the other way around since some procedures now require prior approval! Like everything else the felon touches turns to rot! No privacy of Social Security information and now this!
So Fartrage’s latest wheeze is to quit the ECHR. But it’s NOT his latest. He announced it weeks ago. And he’ll keep announcing it because every time the BBC and Sky give him even more airtime to discuss - and promote - his fantasy.
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
According to a report by the Independent Commission on UK-EU Relations exploring Brexit’s impact on healthcare, it left the pharmaceutical industry with greater trade barriers and bumped-up costs, and limited opportunities to collaborate with other countries.

Hideous dog whistle from the Home Office. By banning asylum seekers from buying the kind of luxuries they can NEVER afford, it's a red rag to the RW media bull, the catalyst for a hundred "how dare they think of buying snowmobiles and furs" articles. Cynical^2. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

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.

If there was an election held tomorrow. Reform would win 400 seats and Farage would be PM. Labour needs to govern as a Labour government. Stop following the Farage rhetoric and get the economy moving. If things don’t improve in a year. Starmer and McSweeney need to go.
Of course the Queen was Remain. You don’t sustain a hereditary monarchy by randomly pulling pins out of grenades for the lols at the urging of a cluster of snake oil chancers.
All kidding aside, suffering from both leprosy & syphilis at 79 is no joke, but I am sure whatever cure RFKjr is mixing up will get him back on the golf course in no time.
