@mrjamesob.bsky.social Sarah Smith BBC news just reported exactly what your caller predicted about US bombs potentially not doing that much damage and key components of Iran’s nuclear assets having been moved. Truly, the most astute callers to any radio show. Thanks for building it… 🙏

There is a chance that Trump's bombing of Iran might turn out to be the most ludicrous use of military force in US history. Not the worst or the most destructive--just the most absurd. A failed attempt by a weak man desperate for glory.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

"I disagree profoundly with her on this subject. She says things that are inflammatory, contemptuous and mocking. They add to a terribly distressing time for trans people": Stephen Fry. He echoes what so many who once admired her now recognise: that JK Rowling is toxic - and unwell.

Bernie, you rascal! You’re spot on here.

Of course that's his phone wallpaper...

In his first term, it was the myth of the savvy businessman. As he ran for his second, it was the myth of the "strong leader." But now, Trump’s entire persona is crumbling in real-time as he struggles to hide his profound weakness as a leader.

It's hard to celebrate when someone like Elon Musk waltzes into the federal government, wrecks the place, and walks away seemingly with everything he wanted. But did he, though? In the end, Musk left defeated, humiliated, and widely despised. That’s no small thing. We should take the win.

Trade agreements: key rights must be protected As Labour plough ahead with international trade agreements they need to be careful not to compromise on human and working rights.

Food security doesn’t mean growing more, it means growing smarter. Less waste, more diversity and putting nature at the heart of farming.

It’s bold and I like it. When our enemies are no longer faceless, then we see there’s probably more that unites us than divides us.

The Court of Appeal recently upheld a ruling in favour of human rights campaign group Liberty, which found that the previous Government had acted unlawfully when it sought to significantly lower the threshold for serious disruption Why has the Government not confirmed it will accept the judgment?

I post this 👇 and some followers have a little flounce and announce they are disowning me. Hilarious! If you think I need flaky, judgemental arseholes in my team, you had the wrong account in the first place. Off ya pop! 👋

Netanyahu is determined. He won’t stop unless he is actively stopped. It’s not about selling a few less weapons, pleading, expressing outrage & maybe ending a trade negotiation we never should’ve been in. It’s about aggressive sanctions now, expelling the ambassador & our military delivering aid.

Why were we in trade negotiations with Israel?

“The cruelty is the point” or so we’re told about the Trump administration. But history shows us cruelty isn’t just about sadism. It’s a tactic to advance a broader agenda. When it comes to the Trump administration’s treatment of migrants, the real question is: what are the goals behind the cruelty?

Thank you Gary Lineker for using the platform you earned with your talent and charm to stand up for some of the most victimised people in the world. You're a shining example to us all.

President Trump is doing more than just turning a blind eye to the fact that the planet is growing hotter. He is weakening the U.S.'s capacity to understand global warming and to prepare for its consequences www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/c...

GB News : "Brexit is a good thing?" Brexit Fisherman : "It's been a disaster" "But exports?" "Red tape is 100 fold, our main market is the EU" "But EU fisherman?" "They didn't come here" "But charge more?" "They can buy in the EU" "How would you vote?" "I'd vote for Remain in a heart beat"

And it wasn’t just the Crick… we had huge institutional expertise in the UK as the pandemic washed up on our shores, and it was all buried. Buried beneath no plan, and then a plan that would involve companies with no track record pocketing our past taxes and future taxes.

Johnson put a border in the Irish Sea, sold out the fishing industry, all SMEs trading with the EU, our farmers, universities, musicians, young people, scientists, all of us… And now he sits in the mess he made throwing insults at those who are clearing up after him. What a monumental piece of shit.

This is spot on from @adambienkov.bsky.social Whatever your thoughts on this deal the simple fact is for the first time a UK government is actually doing something to undo the catastrophic damage of Brexit, rather than increase it
