Well done Lewis! Never been so proud. Right wing pundits, *coughs* Ian Dale, super upset at your inheritance tax opinons. You can be sure you’ve done something right when they start writing articles about how wealthy people work super hard and shouldn’t have to give away any money.
“I could play with myself at the Pope’s funeral and not lose a single vote.”
We've tried something a little new this week...visualizing @lbc.co.uk's "American Week" so you can watch it as well as listen to it. All feedback gratefully received! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd71...
I can’t even compute this.
Here's the full text of Attorney General Pam Bondi's memo to Department of Justice staff announcing that the Trump administration intends further to muzzle the free press. (Earlier screen-shots deleted given that this is easier to read):
Trump has now officially wiped out an entire YEAR of economic gains in four days. But hey, egg prices right?
It's funny how the stupidest people of this year - the "Don't worry about what Trump says, he doesn't mean it" brigade - were also the stupidest people of all the Brexit/Truss/Johnson years. It's not funny how they still occupy almost all of the major roles in the commentariat.
Says the guy who spent millions to elect a judge that will soon be the deciding vote on a case involving Tesla’s ability to sell cars in the state.
@shelaghfogarty.bsky.social - Who is this absolute rocket ship on your show saying that rich people all leave if you tax them a bit more. See the London school of economics research into just this. Maybe stop letting bad actors or ignoramuses on your show
Trump’s advocates on both sides of the Atlantic (but especially in the UK) told us he would strengthen the West. Here the (likely) next Canadian PM is telling his electorate that the relationship between his country and the US, previously the closest of allies, “is over.”
@mrjamesob.bsky.social This will blow your mind! I guess in one way we’re not surprised, but seeing it in black and white….(excuse the pun!)….but WOW!😮 #humanrights #justice
For those asking, the UK Foreign Office recently beefed up guidance on US travel. It now reads: "You should comply with all entry, visa & other conditions of entry. The authorities in the U.S. set & enforce entry rules strictly. You may be liable to arrest or detention if you break the rules."
Not shocked anymore when reading/listening to your posts. I’m now in a prediction phase: - Americans to be detained for disagreeing or having anti Trump content on their social media. - Simon Marks to be deported for reporting the news accurately. This would have been tinfoil hat a few months ago.
See, it's funny cuz it's true. 🤣 (also: #sad) 😞
Oh.
My "American Week" for @tomswarbrick.bsky.social's programme on the UK's @lbc.co.uk. Trump goes to war with the nation's judges; grassroots Democrats assail party leaders; and a broadcasting, soft power icon is silenced. 🎧: audioboom.com/posts/869281... Live, Fridays@5:50pm, or here afterwards.
Brexit. Trump. Truss. Boris Johnson. Netanyahu… It never ceases to amaze me just how much of our media & politicians waltz away unscathed after being so catastrophically & hideously wrong about all the major moments of our time.
You have to commit to believing what Putin says before even considering weird “America gets a piece of the pie” deals. How can you trust Putin?
Makes sense. Even with an algorithm lite version, similar to this, it’s easy to understand Brexit and trump election 1 and, especially 2.
I don’t think I’m ever more conservative that when it comes to a bacon sandwich. Like a 16th century puritan or right wing anti woke blow hard. BaCOn SaNDWIChes ShoULD ONLy hAVe BuTtER. #brownsauceisWOKE
Change this to black and white photography and it’s a cut scene from Schindler’s list. Very scary.
Got to hand it to Putin. Not only won a presidential election in his own country, but one in the US, a and a referendum in the U.K. @lewisgoodall.com, feel free to add to this. Romania? Belarus?
The last *seven days*? What *we* have *always feared*? What an irredeemable fraud he is. Gets a whole chapter in ‘How They Broke Britain’. And here he is now, ‘seeing the light’. Danny Dyer voiceover: “Twat.”
I’m working on plain simplicity. - Russian interference in Brexit. - Russian interference Trump elected. [west divided and unstable, Russia invades Ukraine] - Russian interference. Trump re-elected. This time Trump owes Putin big time. Trump now pawn of Putin.
Just waving to the crowd
Begun, the trade wars have.
Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with the president at his Florida compound, sources tell WIRED, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting.
Starmer calling out Farage’s treacherous remarks
Trump surrogate saying the quiet stuff out loud.
@lbc.co.uk - will Farage say anything true in his interview? Ah, he was truthful about the date of meetings. Nick Ferrari doing a great job as usual. Helping right wing blow hards pedal mistruths.
“Zelenskyy found himself ambushed by Trump and his serpentine vice-president, JD Vance. He was expected to sit back and take a beating from Nurse Ratched and Miss Trunchbull. He refused”. Superb piece by David Smith. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.
Trump fans have to go along with *all* the lies because if they didn't, the really big lie - the white supremacism & racism - would start crumbling. And they love that lie sooo much...
Reminder: Trump administration puts pressure on Romanian authorities to release Andrew Tate under investigations for rape and sex trafficking. Trump also haunting release of Epstein’s list of rapists None of this touches the sides of the brain boiled MAGA club #Trump #DespicableTrump
