Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

People are talking about his Pope trolling and Alcatraz, rather than the billion dollar corruption scheme.

Some complete knob on channel 4 news defending Vance and equivocating over the attack on Harvard.

“Trump’s America has forfeited global trust. The world has other choices apart from paying tribute to him and his sycophants now running a once great country with the prime aim of self-enrichment” Starmer says we don’t need or want to choose. Oh but we really do. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Canada is potentially about to elect a Prime Minister with a PhD in economics from Oxford, Mexico elected someone with a degree in physics and a PhD in energy engineering… Meanwhile, America elected a barely sentient orange turnip. Any Questions?!

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

Trump just helped Putin cover up war crimes. Musk’s DOGE shut down a U.S.-funded database tracking 35,000 Ukrainian children deported to Russia—erasing key evidence used in war crimes cases, including Putin’s ICC indictment. This isn’t just incompetence; it’s a blatant gift to the Kremlin.

Watching ‘The Death of Stalin’, a fascinating documentary on the descent of the Republican Party

Mass firings, shutting down critical services, blowing up our alliances, crashing the markets, encouraging inflation... These aren't the actions of a political party aspiring to get reelected. These are the actions of an authoritarian regime that does not intend to honor elections ever again.

We need to tax them until they bleed

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

The logic of the coup that is going on now. And how to resist it. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

HELL YEAH! Congressman Jim McGovern TORE Speaker Mike Johnson a new for saying it wasn’t “his place” to question Trump’s January 6 pardon. “Not your place?? WHO THE HELL’S PLACE IS IT?” He said. “How about you stand with the officers who protected you and not a reality show wannabe dictator.” 💙

Denmark telling Mr Trump to fuck off. If this is a message you endorse, spread it.

Finally! We now know the backstory to this classic "Planet of the Apes" ending.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social is having the phone in we need. Sick of hearing from liberal media pundits who should know better that it’s all liberals’ fault that Trump’s been elected. Why is the media normalising the coup attempt and treating this like it’s normal to elect a dictator in the US?

The search for Nigel Farage in Clacton enters its 27th week.

Far right honker, Nigel, furiously peddles stupid, prejudiced ideas that make you poorer. Then, when you are poorer, he tells you you’re right to feel angry about that. But not with him. For love of god, England, work it out… (Private Eye)

Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?

We need urgent realignment with Europe, watertight counter disinformation laws, social media regulation, laws against foreign interference/foreign funding, the same re. the press plus reform, an overhaul of Ofcom and a PM that will firmly tell our insane hillbilly cousin, America, to go fuck itself.

Absolutely this from Ed Davey 👏

Tomorrow's Independent front page revealing Brexit's catastrophic cost - five years after the UK left the EU. - New bureaucracy - Weaker UK exports - Labour shortages in key sectors - Less cash for public services - Huge divorce bill - 15% long term hit to UK trade This is the price of populism.

Why does no-one ever work out that the final 2 to walk in to breakfast were among the 3 up for elimination and therefore are faithfuls. We’re on season 3 and the producers do it for dramatic effect - surely the players should’ve noticed by now. #TheTraitors #Traitors

By the way, if you happen to have Audible (I know) then may I INSIST that you find and listen to Hugh Grant's peerless reading of A Christmas Carol. Far and away and by several parsecs the best imaginable performance. There should be awards.

How long until Gregg Wallace is baptised by Russell Brand?

“Women, eh?” The Gregg Wallace Defence

Boris Johnson promised farmers that “subsidies would stay - 100% guaranteed”. 🚜 The National Farmers’ Union council was overwhelmingly in support of “Remain”, but decided not to campaign outright, as it would upset some of their larger farmers who were cheering Brexit.

Well played. And frighteningly accurate.

“Whatever case you could make for Britain being out of the EU in the Obama era of 2016 makes no sense now” To be fair, it made very little sense then too. But, because of the menace of Trump 2 and a more dangerous world 8yrs later, this is painfully and acutely true now. bsky.app/profile/jona...
