I give up on UK politics. Now that Labour has become hideously right wing, I’m politically homeless when it comes to the UK. SNP for me 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The only thing missing in this entire, sordid affair is a conviction. Everyone knows Murdoch is guilty as hell & has paid out literally billions to cover his empire’s crimes, as no one can risk the financial ruin of losing a case against NI. A despicable blot on society gloating in plain sight.

Labour could have made the Youth Mobility scheme a positive. Instead they opposed it and now must frame it as a defeat, despite knowing all the time they'd have to accept something like it. God knows what kind of 4D chess calculation led them to this position. www.bestforbritain.org/feb_2025_mrp...

‘This has completely blown up in his face.’ Donald Trump has paused his worldwide tariffs for 90 days, and @lewisgoodall.com thinks it’s proof he ‘had no plan.’

Wow. There is no end to her awfulness, no beginning to her talents.

This explanation seems horrific but sound. 10%tariffs if your balance of trade is roughly equal. It’s a shakedown & a protection racket. He’ll lift them by domestic sector and even maybe individual companies, as well as perhaps the occasional nation, as a reward for pledges of blind allegiance.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

🙄

Trump is yet to do a single thing that Putin would object to.

Surprised to see so many headlines from news outlets suggesting Putin has agreed to a ceasefire. He’s done no such thing. He’s basically said he would do in theory, providing his conditions are met, on his terms. Which is just a variation on what he’s always said.

I despair of the USA 😢

"Much to the incredulity of millions, Labour continues to shun the glittering prizes on offer from rejoining the EU customs union and the single market." #EU #Scotland

Drugged up a*hole 🤢

Perfect African escape ❤️

What exactly are they going to cut? Hospitals are falling to bits, prisons are overcrowded, probation is fucked, courts are backed up years, schools are falling to pieces, social care is imploding and the armed forces are “wide open to Russian attack” Where will this ruthlessness fall?

Love this

Hoping everyone had a very enjoyable Christmas and still have some optimism for 2025! 🥂

That megalomaniac wants to own the world and believes he is omnipotent. He needs to be stopped pronto!

Nigel Farage is in the USA with Elon Musk and Donald Trump, again. This is his 6th visit since the 4th July elections. Getting his orders from his owners, every single month.

I seem to have picked up some very polite, weird bots in here. Adieu!
