Shit just got real.

FFS. Cameron went in demanding EU reform and Brit exceptionalism, we ended up with Brexit and all its stupidity. This gvt needs to be championing and celebrating ECHR not pandering to the nutters cos they think they’ll win long-term: they won’t, the nutters will. Again.

🚨🚨 ‘Lefty lawyer’ Keir Starmer to push for #ECHR reform: The UK PM— a former human rights lawyer — wants to shake up Strasbourg amid pressure over migration rulings and that inaction will stoke “the next #Brexit.” 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/left...

How the Daily Mail responded to Liz Truss' economy-crashing tax cuts for the wealthiest, vs how they responded to Rachel Reeves spending a few per cent more on hospitals

I just vented my spleen at some bigoted undescended testicle in a FB group based in the town where I grew up, but from which I thankfully escaped. I know I shouldn’t have been so forthright, but I can’t let things go unchallenged any more. Now I feel like I should bleach myself for decontamination.

I asked a BBC spokesperson to set out any examples of the corporation drawing up specific plans to secure the support of voters for other political parties in the UK, but they were unable to do so bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

I know this feud is really enjoyable to watch, but you should remember not to binge it. Savor it over time.

Bahahahahaha.

Her expressionless face.. The tapping of her ear How lost she looks Her little feet on the rubble Is she, as Netanyahu puts it: “A murderous Islamist terrorist organization”? Can we be real about this FFS?

Tired of defending the indefensible when it comes to #Labour - mealy-mouthed on Gaza, clumsy on farmers and winter fuel, now pathetically chasing the RefUKers. on immigration. They’ve had good spots - (stealth) rail nationalisation, breakfast clubs, NHS funding - but it’s not enough one year in.

Just in case anyone's wondering how bad she's lying: the only people who can check books out of the LOC are congressional staff. Library cards for use of the research centers are only available to people over the age of 16, and researchers under 18 need permission from a parent or guardian.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

not long now, so excited

there's something about the former banjoist of Mumford & Sons whose dad owns a propaganda channel asking about political asylum over non-existent laws at a White House press conference that feels like it really sums up our era

Trump Says Recession Unfortunate But Necessary Step To Get To Depression

Wow this is wild. James: "The Trump team didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Now we go live to Reform UK headquarters.

After various interactions with RefUKers on other SM channels, I’ve concluded that 90% of them are, beyond reasonable doubt, thick as two short planks. One can’t argue with them because they lack the facility to understand nuance and have the empathetic skills of a particularly selfish bluebottle.

Can someone explain to me why it is that Labour aren’t doing (what I consider to be) the obvious thing about immigration / asylum / boats - specifically, to open a processing centre in France where asylum claims could be triaged or completed or otherwise dealt with? @zoejardiniere.bsky.social maybe?

If ever you really want to annoy a RefUKer, on any SM channel, just point out that 20% of RefUK MPs are convicted women-beaters and now eligible to legislate on, say, VAWG. They really don’t like the truth. 1st they deny it (cos, y’know, maths) then they defend it, then they often delete post 😂

Reform now controlled by Reform 2025 Ltd, controlled by… Farage and Yusuf. Le plus ça change…

Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by a successful Russian influence operation and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. Please repost if you want it restored.

This poll needs the grown ups to vote ... www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Kemi Badenoch says Lib Dems are "nice people" who don't spend lots of time online, and instead do a lot of work in local communities: "A typical Liberal Democrat is someone who is good at fixing the church roof." Sounds great maybe we should give them a chance! www.politics.co.uk/news/2025/02...

Trying to fight the good fight against RefUKer misinformation and lies on SM is like arguing with sandstone. They’re the least durable of all the stones but still dense enough to hurt your head 😂

Anyone else harbour half a thought that Trump thinks the Gaza ‘strip’ thinks it’s about the size of the Las Vegas Strip, because it’s the same word and he has the intellectual capacity of a gnat?

Oh for pity’s sakes, he’s literally agreeing to ethnic cleansing. Hey, voters who refused to vote Blue because Palestine: how’s that working out for you?

Don’t go criticising the Member for Clacton in the TikTok comments…

Dear Murica - I’m afraid the only Gulf of America is the one found between the ears of your President Elect.

The only silver-lining of Musk’s unhinged attack on @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social is that I found out she’s actually on this site, which was good to see.

Occasionally I dip back into the world of X to see what’s happening. Thousands of blue-ticked extremists ranting vilely. Each visit makes me feel physically unclean.
