The most laughable BBC headline today, like the BBC has anyone capable of "grilling" anyone. And like they're going to grill anyone from Reform, they have a permanent seat on Question Time for Farage, they love Reform.

Nothing to do with politics, there's a trend at the moment by right wing morons to paint the St George's Cross on white road markings and hanging the flag on lamp posts. They're saying it's patriotic but everyone knows it's meant as intimidation to foriegners.

Dozy flag shaggers draping themselves in Union Jack and St George's Cross merch that's all made in China. So patriotic.
Phil Norris (@philnorris.bsky.social)
I see the flag shaggers in the UK are as stupid as the MAGA crowd. The St George's Cross flags they're so patriotically putting up in order to show how British they are, and how they champion everything Bitish, are made in China...

Why are people still pandering to Trump? I bet he's loving they're all coming to him, makes him look important. Fuck Trump, he's only going to tell them whatever Putin told him to say when they met in Alaska. Trump is the enemy and should be treated the same way as Putin.

Utterly sad, and utterly not surprising from this thinskinned ego maniac. Trump called the Norwegian Finance Minister and all the FM will say was the Nobel Peace Price and tariffs were discussed. Trump never shy of degrading everything he sets his grubby heart on.

If he's fully endorsed by Trump he'll get a pass. Course they can use Vance as a backdoor way to get Trump his third term. Vance - President Trump - Vice President Something happens and Vance steps down as President. Vice President Trump gets sworn in as President.

Not sure there will be an "after Trump". Yes the man will at some point be gone, age or health will do for him. But those around him will still be here. •President Vance will be worse. •ICE/NatGuard/police will be one and the same, they are all donning the blackshirts/jackboots way too gleefully.

Still question Starmers sincerity, the way he still toadies up to Trump when he's clearly doing Putins work for him. The UK needs to step away from this idea the US is our friend, there is no "special relationship".
