British. Devon. Brexit was a stupid act of national self sabotage. Moron Trump is an ignorant, repulsive, loose cannon insurrectionist enabled by cowards, appeasers, lunatics & extremists. The pendulum always rests in the centre. #SlavaUkraine 🇬🇧🇺🇦

To appease bankers Reeves says Thames Water should find ‘market-based solution’. Not possible. It is a monopoly, no competition, no choice. Since 1989 TW paid £10.4bn in dividends, £13.68bn interest payments. Rocketing bills, sewage in rivers. We can't afford more of the same. Nationalise water.
Not if they did it properly.
Two weeks actually means too weak
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
The Trump MAGA government will be remembered as the leading example of Great Power Suicide in human history. America will never recover from the vandalism to its institutions, alliances and global reputation.
You need to get a higher media profile. The LibDems were yet again conspicuous by their absence from Trevor Phillips this weekend. Try a weekly briefing. No gimmicks. Just simple, understandable rebuttals of Reform bullshit and media-friendly presentation of LibDem vision.
@samcoatessky.bsky.social hi Sam, this morning you stated “…the main opposition parties, the Cons and Reform UK…” Unless I missed 67 Parliamentary by-elections since July, the Lib Dems are very much the main opposition party with the Cons, not Reform. Do we have to keep doing this?
French deal has started and look what has begun to happen. No wonder the Tories and Farage absolutely screamed blue murder about it.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
No you didn't.
Their continuous fail is in their hapless Comms strategy (or lack of it). It needs to be outstanding to counter the Farage-obsessed media but it's hopeless.
As Marco Rubio shuts down USAID, CNN find clips and a letter of him praising USAID
Not convinced it matters what the Tories say these days as they've rendered themselves an irrelevance
Oh look no LibDem representative but Richard Tice yet again. Business as usual then #TrevorPhillips
📉 Profits of Russian oil companies in the first half of 2025 fell sharply. • Rosneft received only 245 billion rubles instead of 773 billion. • Lukoil earned 287 billion against 590 billion last year. • Gazprom Neft reduced profits by half — to 150 billion.
Why is Trump honoring J6 rioter Ashli Babbitt and not Capital Police Officer Brian Sicknick — both lost their lives: Babbitt attacking The Capitol. Sicknick protecting The Capitol. Can anyone explain?
They're currently looking for an actor to play him in a "Dave" scenario. Must have ridiculous nylon hair, a panstick fetish, the ability to walk in lifts and spout endless buckets of incomprehensible gobbledegook at the drop of a red cap
Who did this?
Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage helped cause this problem in the first place" "Brexit has meant we're not able to force the French to take illegal immigrants coming over on small boats back"
It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.
Lib Dem voters are the most anti-Brexit Vote Lib Dem bsky.app/profile/rich...
Understandable
Yeah, sure they do 🙄
lol
It's fine. It'll take seconds to strip that gold shit out. The orange shit may take a bit longer
Bet he's sweaty now.
You mean führer-right.
This is evidence of the Nazification of the US: more than 600 books have been banned in Florida. One of them is Anne Frank's diary. This is part of a broader, nationwide censorship drive against teachings about race, gender & diversity. If this continues, entire sections of history will be erased.
IT IS SUNDAY 24 AUGUST AND THIS IS ON SALE IN MORRISONS AND I HAVE JUST LOST THE WILL TO LIVE
Walking around as president while wearing a hat that says you were right about everything should automatically trigger the 25th Amendment.
Exit via the grift shop
Most of Lake Windermere polluted with sewage bacteria. Only 14% of England’s rivers/lakes meet good ecological standards. Water companies major culprits; over 1,135 criminal convictions, United Utilities have 205. No exec prosecuted, no licence to operate cancelled.
Margaret Thatcher in the US Congress 40 years ago.
Reminder that in 2024, after the so called US election, Putin's presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev stated: “To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them."
The epitome of a Useful Idiot
It’s clear Putin doesn’t want peace. Trump’s attempt to sweet talk him into a deal has failed, so it’s time for Trump to finally get tough. The UK should seize Russian assets to help Ukraine today, and press the US to do the same.
Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.
FOX REPORTER: “The way it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say, got his photo next to the president, then left.”
🤡
At least Chamberlain got a piece of paper
The Useful Idiot strikes again
Governor Newsom on the media’s feigned outrage over his Trump-style posts: What an admission! Where have they been not asking Donald Trump this?
Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not. He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.
It was a ridiculous omission from the discussion. It's about time political commentators - especially those advocating for the centre ground - acknowledged the achievements of the Lib Dems in the last election and the crucial role they are likely to play in the next.
Listening to their analysis of Jacob's voice message on this week's TRIP QT, it's as if they've forgotten that the LibDems even exist 🙄. Farcical when you compare the number of LibDem MPs v Reform and the fact they're very likely to be Kingmakers at the next GE.
LIB DEMS!!!
@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social Listening to your discussion on Jacob's message on TRIP QT and the huge omission was a choice to vote for the LibDems ... Ridiculous oversight given they could easily end up as Kingmakers in the next GE! PS in case you hadn't noticed they have far more MPs than Reform!
Generous
Brexit red tape has completely changed my business.... Since Brexit, trading with our largest export markets - Italy and Spain - has become so much harder. It used to take about a week to get a pallet of salt from Anglesey to Bologna, and now it takes up to three months. @WalesforEurope

It's fine. Trump thinks Alaska is part of Russia.
The big message that the British public wants to get across to Liz Truss is that she should stop embarrassing herself and the country she was so clearly unfit to govern.
Ain't this brilliant? Tell me #bluesky #booksky #blacksky
He probably uses Arbeit Macht Frei as a self affirming chant
Brain?
I dunno. Given the almighty cock-up she managed to achieve in record time we should probably consider her an expert in the subject.
Ministers line up administrators for Thames Water Since 1989 £10.4bn paid in dividends, £13.68bn in interest payments. No new reservoirs. Dumps sewage in rivers. Hardly any new shareholder money. Shares worthless, Lenders ready to take a haircut. Need permanent nationalisation, not temporary.
He's such a moron.
Israel has assassinated the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza, Netanyahu's government carried out the assassination after the team of journalists spent months reporting on Israeli war crimes, collecting daily evidence of ongoing atrocities.
Netanyahu - war crime after war crime!
Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

Not this pompous old windbag again! What an embarrassment
NEW: Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, and yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked law enforcement. He’s now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice.
Former UK PM Gordon Brown urges Reeves to hike gambling taxes. Quite right too. Too many industries are free-riders, don't bear the cost of their pollution - gambling, processed food, tobacco, airlines, fossil fuels. They expect public purse to bear the social cost, shareholders take profits.
Indeed. Such a shame he didn't run for leader.
I agree about Ben Wallace. The perverse thing is he led the Johnson campaign. Johnson is capable of inducing a blind spot in the most sensible of people.
This doesn't surprise me in the least. "Hasta la vista baby."
Here's one for him 🖕
Catastrophic subtitling on the 1941 movie "Love on the Dole". (It should read "She's a strange lass, is our Sal"...)
Because an enormous dick has massive balls.
To be fair, fat does weigh less than muscle.
Yes. They meant to say 'fellate'.
How ridiculous.
Ed Davey: "BBC’s Farage obsession is a joke. Reform has 4 MPs, Lib Dems have 72 - yet get sidelined. This isn’t journalism, it’s free PR. If the Beeb’s chasing shock value over vote count, just admit it and drop the "balanced" act."
Some windbags are worth listening to.
It's both.
Innocent people don’t pardon criminals to protect themselves.
Gasbag talks about windmills
Are they playing Donald Where's Your Trousers?
So when Kemi Badenoch sees pictures of starving children in Gaza she sees pictures of "Israel defending itself". As if you didn't already have enough reasons not to vote Conservative #TrevorPhillips
Figures that a gasbag disses windmills
Have they tried turning it off and turning it back on again?
If you want the truth, ask the victims, not the woman who assisted in their abuse, who will now most likely receive a pardon in exchange for saying what she's told to say!
Doing "journalists'" job for them
They vouch for the credibility of this as President so ...
On why they are voting against releasing the Epstein files, US Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin admits: “What we’re simply trying to do here is give President Trump cover.” -#3E #OpDeathEaters
