Oh dear, another Reform Party Ltd breakup, this time it's the party Chairman, if memory serves the previous Chairman left in a hissy fit when he was dumped for Yusuf. Are we really to believe Farage can run the country.

I’m delighted the govt is expanding eligibility for Free School Meals. This is something I campaigned hard for during the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill. Now govt needs to scrap the 2 child benefits cap.

We must remember: bombing residential buildings with sleeping children is not about military might or strength — it’s about hatred and the impotence to win. But destroying Russia’s arsenals, aviation, and oil refineries — that’s about the will to win and put an end to the Russian imperialism.

We just won a court order halting the federal administration’s illegal dismantling of @AmeriCorps. Over 200,000 AmeriCorps staff and volunteers work hard every day to care for our communities. This ruling ensures their valuable work can continue.

I don't know if the addlebrained authoritarian going to war with the ketamine-fueled fugue state zillionaire is going to end without bystanders harmed. But shit is hard and this is funny so I'm willing to take a beat to enjoy it.

An exciting battery project - based on rusting iron! - is being developed in Donegal, one of Ireland's most remote outposts. It's a new ultra long-duration energy storage tech, and the subject of my latest column: www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

If only we were as tough on people who steal millions as we are on people who steal tins of beans.

As predicted Trump as thrown Elon under the bus but in a refreshing change. Elon as returned the favour. This is better than any TV soap. It's about time the GoP grew a pair and consigned Trump's Big Beautiful Bill (really a pile of garbage) to the rubbish bin of history & published Epstein files.

When guilty Dogs get caught 😅

China is extending its free market trading reach from its domestic base countering Trump's self defeating, protectionism which is isolating the US progressively from more of its markets. Trump's tariffs have damaged confidence that took decades to build by demolishing it in less than a few months.

When people are reduced to begging off strangers far away then you know there's something very wrong in this world. We are beset by greedy dictators & vile killer warlords this can only end in one conclusion. Fascism & autocratic dictators are not sent by God somewhere this world has gone very wrong

As I predicted, we are now entering an era where we cannot necessarily trust data coming from the federal govt on things like inflation. Something to watch VERY closely for GDP, unemployment, everything. www.wsj.com/economy/cpi-...

Reform councillor calls some children in care 'downright evil' www.cambstimes.co.uk/news/2521469...

The collision course MAGA & TechBros creating a major gulf of separation between the government factions & displaying the incompetence, chaos & inability to govern. Time to sit back & watch with a big tub of popcorn 🍿. Only thing I disagree with stage of #DementiaDonOLD www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8MXmS4T/

WATCH: “It's totally unconscionable,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders on the GOP bill that would kick 11 million Americans off health care. “And to do that in order to give massive tax breaks to people today on the top—who have never ever had it so good—is beyond cruel.”

Same old. same old Tory rubbish - like a stuck warped record.

Norfolk villagers to lose their homes under mass CPO order. South Norfolk, along with other parts of Norfolk and Suffolk, is part of a designated and deregulated investment zone, a type of SEZ under the UK government’s flagship program. Thread www.itv.com/news/anglia/...

A massive Ukrainian UAV attack is underway. Lots of drones are reported on Russian territory already. In Melitopol, there are power outages reported. In Rostov, explosions are heard as air defense is engaging drones.

Doing the same in and to the UK, the people need to rise up before they close the door on that oppertunity

😡👊🏻😡👊🏻😡👊🏻😡👊🏻 I gather the latest #reformUK acquisition is toeing the party line. Remember this? Hope there will be no backlash.

The Secretary of Education doesn’t know American history. That’s not failure—it’s strategy. They erased the past so they can control the future. 📕 Erased exposes who’s behind it—and why it works. Read it before they wipe the rest out too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Graeme Souness rips into 'chancer' Farage in Hamilton by-election Farage will "show up for the cameras, then disappear when it matters". www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

If I was 🌮 I'd be on the phone with Zelenskyy and be trying to see his military would work with ours on drone technology. He's kicking ass right now. Since 🌮is a fool this will never happen.

Watch for this new term being used to rebrand Steven Millers horrific immigration tactics; REMIGRATION This redefines removing illegals that are threats to security vs. Scapegoats targeted because of RACE. It is directly tied to "Replacement Theory". Marco Rubio now uses this in the STATE DEPT.

Incredibly rare for me to share anything from the Express, but this piece absolutely nails Farage. As you'd expect, Express readers aren't happy about it. www.express.co.uk/news/politic...

I wonder if BBC lawyers have told their bosses that knowingly repeating propaganda lies from the perpetrators of genocide as factual truth could be interpreted as aiding and abetting war crimes

When a dictatorship needs to distract folks from real purpose they need an hate target. It was Jews for Hitler, It was aristocrats for the French Revolution. For this regime its dark skinned folks it's how they distract. Don't listen to them watch & note what they do its more important

It’s always struck me as insane that clean electricity is tied to the price of polluting gas and oil…not just tied to it but charged at nearly 4 times the rate of gas per kWh. Hardly surprising that people hesitate before going to the expense and disruption of heat pump installation

One of the things that is most disappointing about this time in the U.S. is the amount of time this incompetent and corrupt administration is wasting. After they are gone, it's going to take so much time and money to fix all of the things they destroyed.

A staff member of Congressman Jerry Madler was placed in Handcuffs INSIDE THE CONGRESSIONAL OFFICE after DHS gestapo forced their way in. The staffer denied them entry Because THEY HAD NO WARRANT after demands to see "Protesters" that witnessed the illegal stalking of immigrants at the court room.

Why is the American president repeating Russian threats without comment?

Finally admitting what we already knew 😡

something else that Keir Starmer needs to invest in if he wants us to be ready for war. It's called the NHS, because it is, of course, the backstop to the military medical services. Without a serious commitment to managing the casualties of war, we could never be ready for it. he will never do it
