It is almost as if…

The Gibraltar First Minister correcting the Brexit zealots (liars) at the Telegraph.

Are we entirely sure at this point that she's not secretly a double agent put in place to sabotage any remaining chances of a Conservative recovery?

It’s not a game, dipshit.

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics. This sums up *exactly* how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

Raise your hand if you were dumb enough to have believed this.

Here are my views on Israel's attack on Iran's nuclear programme. This comes from my perspective of loathing Netanyahu's rogue government while recognising the genuine nuclear threat from Iran's monstrous regime. It avoids simplistic narratives of other social media takes - from both 'sides'. 🧵

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Kristi Noem should resign in disgrace.

Longer video of the forcible removal, detainment, and arrest of Sen. Alex Padilla by the Trump regime during a DHS press conference. Footage provided by Sen. Padilla's team.

[Breaking 🇺🇸] Senator #AlexPadilla ARRESTED. ➡️ #USA #Fascism 🤐

VIDEO: Here is the Regime treating a duly elected U.S. Senator like a farm animal because he had the temerity to ask questions of Kristi Noem. Fascism is here. The jackboot of Big Government is pressing down on all our faces, and the only question is what we do next.

They have started to arrive here MAGA knuckle draggers!

Of course he has

You have to love the Brexiters losing their collective shit over Gibraltar becoming part of the Schengen Area. It's happening BECAUSE of Brexit which has made life very difficult on the Rock and that's why 95.9% of Gibraltarians voted remain.... but apparently Starmer is giving it away

Born #OTD in 1897, Anthony Eden, who resigned in Febr 1938 to protest Chamberlain’s appeasement of Nazi Germany & Fascist Italy. And if you think what's the protest of one man, pls know that also born #OTD in 1929, Anne Frank, & you know that it was right. #GoodMorning, everyone.

Musk said today..... 'I went too far.' 😳😳 I thought, oh my God,😲 is he finally going to apologize to the poorest children in the world? The ones who've died & are starving now bc he dismantled USAID?? ...no...no.....😪 .....he said, 'I regret some of my posts abt Trump last wk. They went too far'😡👺

This weekend, Canada will welcome Prime Minister Keir Starmer to Ottawa. The ties between Canada and the United Kingdom are historic and enduring. Prime Minister Starmer’s visit will further strengthen them — as we build on the partnership that keeps our nations safe and our economies strong.

He’s telling soldiers who swore to protect our freedom how he’s going to use them to stop us from exercising the freedom they’re protecting…

I’d like to be crystal clear @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social (for want of an official BBC news/ editorial presence on here. This will be the end of my TV licence, paid by DD for multiple decades BBC, that I’ve defended, has lost MY trust over too much of its journalism

Why judge people even when their look & choices have no bearing on us? What if their hair's purple? They love men or women or both? They believe in another god or none? Why criticise good, decent people for the way they live? Why not be happy that they are? #GoodMorning, everyone.

Land of the free.

Can we remember that Trump refused to send the National Guard to defend the Capitol on Jan 6th 2021, then pardoned the cop killers and rioters whom he'd personally encouraged.

The BBC has been increasingly political since the Tories came into power in 2010. This is what happens when a populist appoints nearly all of the BBC hierarchy and it then hires from GB "News". Objectively, the BBC now favours the far-right and is operating as a propaganda channel for Reform.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Well what luxury. England v West Indies 🏏 second T20 is live free to air on Ch.5 UK. And we have a game on. Windies have set England 197 to win and we're already 9-1.

Fox keeps proving there’s still more stupidity to come.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Private capital lenders vying to take over Thames Water have demanded that the company and management be granted immunity from prosecution for environmental crimes as a condition of acquiring it -They want to take over a privatised monopoly and continue polluting! www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Just want to add my voice to the increasing wave of disquiet that any uninteresting change in one minority extremist party 'reform' gets headline coverage by BBC news who don't even have an account on here because they think it might be 'too left leaning.' For pities sake. I'll post this on Threads

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Each year the public sector spends £26bn on tech. To help make the right purchases, and make it faster and easier, the government is creating a new digital marketplace, expected to save £1.2bn a year. Suppliers will be rated & reviewed, offer better deals & small businesses getting a 40% boost.

Holding people to ransom. Thames Water bidders demand immunity over environmental crimes. TW has over 187 criminal convictions; allowed to negotiate fines, dump sewage in rivers, hike bills, underinvest. Immunities for TW will be demanded by others. End the circus. Let TW crash. Nationalise.

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract. Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal. Here’s how they got it completely wrong. 👇👇

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Just in case anyone tries to accuse protesters in L.A. as I type this of setting fires in demonstrating against an ICE raid of the Paramount Home Depot, I've been watching live feeds for awhile now and I've seen ICE set at least 2 fires with smoke grenades.

Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein · 2h BREAKING: Elon Musk just deleted this post:

How much are they paying ICE agents for each person they deport? I know they’re evil and would do it anyway, but I’m just saying, I watched some videos and got a feeling about the way they try to SNATCH as many people as possible…it feels like a bounty system is in place.

How many confessions do you need, USA????
