Totally utterly completely indefensible

“A Busy, Busy Day at the Airport” By @rubenbolling.bsky.social, after Richard Scarry. Genius. Click in.

In case you got distracted by other events on social media yesterday

More of this please America!

Tice and Oakeshott know a lot more about Farage, Banks and Russian influence operations than you would think bylinetimes.com/2022/03/08/p...

Well well welll

"Geographic reality means Europe will remain our largest and most important trading partner; with improved relations key for our economic security and living standards. That’s why the PM must go much further and harness this momentum." ~AA @pimlicat.bsky.social leftfootforward.org/2025/05/clos...

There it is. Trump confirms what we've said all along - he's been protecting Putin this entire time.

🔴 NEW - Institute of Economic Affairs Under Investigation by the Charity Commission The regulator has opened a case against the Tufton Street group. 📝 @writesbright.bsky.social

The government claims that recent migration has been "low-skilled" and that its reductions will therefore not be as damaging to the economy and public finances as the OBR assumes. I explain why the government's own data and research contradicts this.. ukandeu.ac.uk/immigration_...

This is so wildly messed up. Others from Myanmar and Vietnam were also deported to South Sudan. It's just abuse of incredibly vulnerable people. After all they've been through, imagine.

Brexit is not the "will of the people", it cannot be "betrayed". A brand new YouGov poll finds: 🤝 An overwhelming majority in the UK support a closer relationship with the EU 🇪🇺🇬🇧 An absolute majority in the UK support rejoining the EU 👎 Brexit is considered a failure yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

BBC News being less than transparent about Reform UK’s fisheries spokeswoman June Mummery.

The papers today are ridiculous. ‘Brexit freedoms’, free to be poor and irreverent in the world. WOOOOOOO how dare we give away those freedoms. Fucking insidious cretins.

Well done Romania, well done. Surprise, surprise, the pro-Putin hooligan of a loser is waving his victim card. on.ft.com/4jaMyVF

Tragic! Isn't it? We gave up our greater access rights to & benefits across our continent; more choice for less cost (for our businesses & us as individuals) with no equal compensation elsewhere. Tiny steps to restoring a little of it & it is condemned by the Tories, Reform, shitty press & morons

Jake Richards (Labour), "Free movement of people was a free market experiment that people didn't like" Actually, I quite liked free movement of people. Anyone else?

I'm coming to the depressing conclusion that it's going to take a failed Starmer government, followed by a failed Farage/Tory government before we might eventually get a party that wins a GE on a manifesto of re-applying for full EU membership. God knows what how bad things will get in the interim.

If Starmer doesn't get rid of his Rasputin, things will only get worse. @imogenwalker.bsky.social
