FFS! When the US went to the polls, just over half of those who voted decided to shit the bed 🙄 Reminds me of Brexit, where 52% of UK voters proverbially shat the bed & two countries were taken out of the EU against their vote.

If this is true... this will be the most depraved and evil things either #Trump or #Musk, has done so far... ever I truly hope it is fake. Or at worst a passing comment or vague hint at best

The author reminds us of “the “smoky room experiment”. In this study, when a person is alone in a room that begins to fill with smoke, three-quarters raise the alarm within minutes. Yet, when surrounded by others who remain passive, only 10% take action. This is the “bystander effect”,

Altar Mitty will be looking for a route back to the UK. I have a lilo, a John Bull repair kit and a winfield jnr cricket set he can borrow to paddle across the Atlantic.

Even Boris Johnsons dad knew the score.. #RejoinEU

Liz Truss tries her hand at stand up comedy with predictable results.

Please consider contributing to my crowdfunding effort to build a trebuchet powerful enough to fire Liz Truss into the sun

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

“EU deal will fuel growth — and Labour is listening…This would mean the UK would recover between a quarter and a half of Brexit’s economic hit to UK GDP, which the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has calculated at minus 4 per cent by 2030.” archive.ph/2025.02.09-0...

The UK's anti-protest laws pre-legitimise far right authoritarianism. Labour must repeal them now. My column today. www.theguardian.com/global/comme...

Farage has chosen sides. He bows to the Nazi salute. www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/elon...

In this crazy, unstable and dangerous world it is utter madness to remain out of the EU. #RejoinEU #Rejoin

The search for Nigel Farage in Clacton enters its 32nd week.

So, Farage struts around on stage in the US, slagging off the UK and the EU, blaming anything but Brexit for us being poorer and unhappier and crawling up Trump’s backside… What a repulsive spectacle he is. If you actually could be put in prison here for ‘saying anything’ he’d be my top pick.

We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

For THE LOVE OF GOD, stop taking money from RUSSIANS. We don’t want our politicians OWNED BY RUSSIA. It’s not rocket science & surely by now, we should know better. If you agree, repost.

We've had reports that M&S has had so many calls asking them to stop advertising with GB News that there's now a dedicated team handling messages about this issue 👏👏👏 Lines are open from *9am to 4pm* today and the number is 0333 014 8000 Let's keep this going!

Unbelievable, from the man who did more than anyone else to give Douglas Murray's explicit white ethnonationalism a platform and a bridge to the UK mainstream. archive.ph/LMDiX

General Sir Nick Carter, "Donald Trump has been treating his allies like enemies" "Many of us are feeling deeply uncomfortable about some of the rhetoric" "There's only one thing worse than fighting alongside allies, it's fighting without allies.. Trump needs to remember that"

Europe's politicians are openly discussing how they could tackle the threat of nuclear attack without American help, in a dramatic sign of the deep crisis engulfing the transatlantic alliance under Donald Trump. www.politico.eu/article/euro...

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)
