I’m so sick of seeing Farage and co on TV all the bloody time. They now know that if thy hold a press conference on any day ending in a ‘y’, they will be given endless coverage and broadcasting hours. All this for a party that could fit all of its MPs into a hatchback car.
BBC push alert tomorrow: ‘The Rapture is here. Why this could be good news for Reform UK’
It's a tough choice.
I have defended the BBC again and again. No more.
For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA
Great news- Disney has lost $4 billion in market value since suspending Jimmy Kimmel! Three observations: 1. They forgot who their audience is. 2. Whatever they were paying Jimmy, it wasn’t enough. 3. They have lost so much more than money- they have lost their own integrity and all of our respect.
I’ve seen other people express this far better than me. But if, like me, you’re finding the ‘free speech’ hypocrisy of the right unbearable, you have to remember they know what they are doing. It’s not that they haven’t realised how illogical and hypocritical they are. They know,they just don’t care
He’s the very epitome of obnoxious.
WGA WRITERS protest abc & disney : “Writers against fascism — this isn’t just about Kimmel, it’s about our ability to say what we want and not be punished by the state… a chilling effect… you don’t capitulate to bullies…” (from @moreperfectunion.bsky.social )
Very odd watching BBC News talking about the Lib Dem conference and mentioning how the party has struggled to break through in the media like it's nothing to do with them.
In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.
I heard a snippet of “We Don’t Talk About Epstein” to the tune of “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” in that Dutch parody video and now God needs some hilarious human to make the full song please. Paging Randy Rainbow. 🌈
Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh
It’s so tacky, you can’t buy class.
AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.
Ghouls, every one of them.
Here’s all the ways you can take action against Disney, ABC, Sinclair, and Nexstar for silencing Jimmy Kimmel and attacking free speech. Share WIDELY. #BOYCOTTDISNEYABC
Oh please fuck off and take any other deranged racists who think you can "mobilize the military" against people seeking safety and asylum with you. Utterly unhinged nonsense, only supported by racist imbeciles with absolutely no clue as to the real world. www.bbc.com/news/article...
This is a disgrace they need to fire the person at the BBC who is charge of the News, they are clearly biased.
Today, Trump claimed not to know who Peter Mandleson is. An obvious & egregious lie but one which highlights why the regime is so keen to silence anyone telling the truth. On the current trajectory, he will soon be able to claim that he's never heard of Melania without any pushback at all.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc
Farage has resorted to threatening to sue people who talk about his Stamp Duty avoidance via his girlfriend suddenly finding £885,000 out of thin air to buy a house. Let’s keep talking about it, he can’t get away with his corruption & threats will not work! #NigelFarage
Watch this, and keep in mind that Sinclair's right-wing propaganda now reaches 72% of all households in America.
I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
This guy will now decide which jokes are appropriate.
reminder: Jimmy Kimmel is enough of a mensch that he devised a segment on which actors who are just short of having enough work to qualify for union healthcare come on his show and deliver a single line of dialogue deadline.com/2024/07/jimm...
Nish Kumar, "Donald Trump is the sort of emblem of hope to white supremacists, to racists, xenophobes, and to frankly the richest people on the planet" "There's nothing new about Donald Trump, he's just the latest in a strong of people who have attempted to destroy our societies"
Shame on Downing Street, this is not acceptable.
Apparently Jimmy Kimmel is now facing a federal investigation, for telling viewers that Charlie Kirk’s killer, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was a MAGA supporter. Comedians are getting investigated in the USA for free speech. Welcome to fascism.
The halcyon days, when the grown ups were in charge.
Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.
Left: JD Vance, "Under Donald Trump's leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer them in the public square" Right: President Trump celebrating the cancelling of the Jimmy Kimmel Show after he mocked Trump's response to the murder to Charlie Kirk
Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest: Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No
Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press
It’s North Korea mentality.
Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.
WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The absolute shit show of bad policy, mismanagement, corruption and sheer incompetence that we witnessed in 14 years of Tory rule is but a sideshow when compared to the full scale national bin fire of a disaster that awaits us with a Reform government.
No, please no, for the love of god take him back.
Thou shalt not let these disturbers of our harmony frighten you nor steal your peace. They feed off fear and hatred. Do not feed them.
Struggling how an image of two friends together is malicious communication
Tax payers are paying to watch the Royal family put on a pantomime to entertain a Slovenian prostitute and her rapist, conman husband.
In London, hate will never win.
Funny how in 2025 the right suddenly believes: – Hate speech is bad – Dehumanizing is bad – Cancel culture is good – Words actually matter Amazing what changes when it’s their guy.
President Trump warns an Australian reporter that he’s hurting Australia because he asked him about his business activity: You are hurting Australia very much right now. They want to get along with me. Your leader is coming to see me soon, I'm going to tell him about you.
Every day throws up another moment of incredulity, it’s like some bizarre, surreal nightmare.
Robert Redford on Donald Trump: “It is painfully clear we have a president who degrades everything he touches, a person who does not understand (or care?) that his duty is to defend our democracy.
If this became a weekly series, it would run longer than The Simpsons.
Just gonna pretend the flags at half mast are for Robert Redford
When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.
He says it low, but he says it
Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences. The modern American right in 2025, folks.
There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.
Biggest shock since I discovered that the Pope is Catholic 😲
Conservative MP Danny Kruger defects to Reform, where Nigel Farage puts him in charge of "preparing the party for government". Here's just a small reminder of the kind of views he has to guide those preparations
This exchange says it all.
This is spot on, yet every news bulletin keeps stirring the Mandelson pot.
What a surprise not, he’s an absolute melt.
Shocked I tell you, shocked I am.
Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.
Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.
Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him
It’s almost like there’s a pattern we should watch for more carefully.
WWJD? Not what Kilmeade said on Foxnews
We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet
I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.
This obnoxious weirdo can absolutely do one with his poisonous little take on what the British people think. He lost the right to appropriate our opinions when he foisted his prejudiced and dishonest Brexit shitshow on us and told us that’s what we wanted. Reform is the grim hangover of that failure
Everyone should be held to the same standards.
If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.
This man was no hero.
There is no excuse for political violence in America. And no excuse for a U.S. president using a heinous killing as an occasion to treat his political opponents as accomplices to murder and threatening to use the full power of the government to attack them.
Let me check I’ve got this right. Someone calling for entirely innocent foreign-born people to be burned alive at a time of serious social unrest is a free speech champion who must be feted. And some calling them & their hideous promoters in politics & media racist is a menace who must be silenced.
"What's wrong with putting a flag up?" they ask. Like saying, what's wrong with planting a geranium? Nothing wrong with it. But if you're bankrolled to go out, in groups, at night, planting *thousands* on public land and other people's front gardens, it becomes something other than horticulture.
he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest
Someone at BBC news has woken up!
‘Five Houses’ Farage has a certain ring. And he owns, or has claimed to own, all of them. Which is four more than Angela Rayner does… www.bbc.com/news/article...
👏
Every day the BBC and mainstream UK media welcomes and honours a man who is a best pal of Trump and supports him in every way possible, and who lies about what Trump has done/is doing. Farage gets a free pass on this, why is he not being asked the questions but instead celebrated and promoted?
Why indeed?
This is how you protect your democracy. The US is a demonstration of what happens when you don't. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...
The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.
“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind
“He has been killed for saying things that used to be simple common sense. He has been killed because he had the courage to stand up publicly for reasonable opinions held by millions and millions of ordinary people both in the US and Britain.” - Boris Johnson
Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."
Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award, "It's not lost on me why I might have won this award" "Aside from presenting Match of the Day.." "Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"
He’s a thoroughly decent human being and I’m so happy that people voted for him.
Tice turned quickly from cocky piss-taking… to realising he’d ballsed it up…. to claiming ignorance. What an absolute arse. These people should be nowhere near power. Nowhere. Near.
Stay focused everyone. Distraction techniques in operation by our unpatriotic media. We want to know where Laure Ferrari’s cash came from to buy her Frinton house. Don’t rest until we are reassured nothing dodgy took place.
Let’s not tell the petty, vindictive, and increasingly unstable guy who controls the nuclear codes that Barack Obama just won another Emmy.
Farage dodged parliament, went to the US, slagged off the UK, lied to Congress, grifted for donations and hoped to persuade the US to punish us for the Online Safety Act. And got his arse handed back to him. You’d think our ‘patriotic’ media would go nuts. But no. Some quiet mumbling. Beyond feeble.
"Me no know taxeez - taxeez deeeficolt - taxeez not job me." ALSO "something something rAcHeL fRoM aCCoUnTz something"
Marina Purkiss, "Nigel Farage cloaks himself in patriotism" "Farage flew out to the United States, spoke to a US Committee, and he urged the US to put sanctions on the UK" "Sanctions that would hurt British companies, British people, our back pockets" "And Farage is your patriot?"
