Oh absolutely! @alyankovic.bsky.social is brilliant musically and lyrically, and the fact that he’s hilarious sometimes makes people forget his level of pure creative talent. Long overdue! comhttps://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/john-mulaney-weird-al-yankovic-deserves-rock-hall-1235969863/

"The poll found that 43% of respondents believe the UK should strengthen its trade relationships with the EU, while only 14% support improving relations with the US with the aim of convincing Trump to remove the tariffs."

I find that catchy slogans really help to get our message across.

In case you missed it ... Here's the Nobel prize-winning economist Esther Duflo destroying the claim that foreign workers reduce domestic wages. In fact, they actually help UK workers by adding to the talent base and allowing the economy to grow. Getting rid of them just leads to more automation. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

The way I see it, Labour now have 4 years to introduce PR if they want to avoid a wipe out in 29. Nobody on the left or even the centre would entertain voting Labour now.

Marina Purkiss, "We have a declining birthrate, an aging population, we either have immigrants and have NHS and social care, or we don't" "I can't believe Labour are making it more difficult for the social care sector to hire people. We have 131,000 vacancies"

Today's performative clampdown on migrants will gut our care homes of desperately needed staff. We are already short of over 150k carers. Banning foreign care workers will only exacerbate this - increasing suffering of society's most vulnerable members & pressures on the NHS. It's madness.

Of all the horrors perpetrated by this administration, this is the one that continues to haunt me most. Around the globe, children (and families) are dying today - and they didn't have to. And have you noticed? We've nearly stopped talking about USAID, as new Trumpian horrors surface daily.

Mainstream radio presenters like Vanessa Feltz are perfectly happy to contribute, in their own small way, to the rise of the extreme far right. Her interview with me on LBC just now was chock full of lies. Calls herself a journalist. Really I wonder how they sleep at night.

Voting for Nigel Farage because you want things to get better for the Working Class is like voting for Jimmy Savile because you want to help kids.

Since the election win Labour have 1. Appeased the far right 2. Delivered otherwise good policy ideas in a bad way e.g. WFA 3. Targeted the disabled with cuts instead of the richest with a wealth tax The result? 808 Reform councillors Labour need to change direction and be less cruel, fast

Casting my eye down south, just checking how the smug "oh you silly naïve little fools, we simply can't use a proportional voting system, it'd let the far right in!" stuff has held up this time Very well I see, certainly worthwhile denying your fellow citizens a fair and democratic system for this!

What we're seeing at a local level could easily repeat itself at the next general election. Imagine waking up in 2029 to a government supported by less than 30% of the public. This is an emergency. We must scrap First Past the Post before it completely destroys our democracy.

Oh my God thank you this never gets said. Why is it harder to get an NHS appointment even though politicians keep telling us they’re funding it more & more? We are getting OLDER. So we need MORE healthcare. (Thank god we have immigrants to mitigate that somewhat)

Coming soon: Labour responds to the failure of its Nigel Farage tribute act by trying even harder to be a Nigel Farage tribute act whilst closing its eyes to the evidence of where that path led the Tories.

If Kemi Badenoch is so outraged at calls to kill MPs, she'll surely be returning the £15m donation the Tories took from the man who wanted to shoot Diane Abbott any minute now

Reform UK is a party stuffed with Conservatives and Donald Trump supporters who pretend to be a party for the 'working man'. But it's led and funded by millionaires/billionaires who have never been a 'working man' in their lives. It's the most blatant political fraud ever.

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...
