Badenoch has the sickly stench of desperation about her now.. in desperation she hopes we’ve all forgotten the Tories inc her, lied through their teeth in Govt.. She even invented a trade deal with Canada as Trade Secretary claiming she’d nailed it until Canada very angrily refuted her claim šŸ¤„šŸ™„

New Reform Hull and Humberside mayor and stain on the underpants of humanity Andrea Jenkyns vows to sack the county’s diversity officers - except there aren’t any. Another policy on the stump, based on throwing meat to the dogs, hits the skids. Nice one Humberside. Elect clowns get a circus.

Oops to those who voted Reform Tice just revealed what they won’t deliveršŸ‘‡šŸ¼ No new jobs related to eco tourism, eco power plants or anything eco friendlyāŒ No new investment or infrastructure in Reform run areas if slightest whiff of ecoāŒ Full reliance on an aged, over stretched national gridāŒ šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø

1/ I find myself pondering a lot these days about why so many successive UK government have failed to do the right thing by the people who elected them. Time after time lies, half truths, deflection and a failure to meet the needs of the people - a longish 🧵🪔

Defend jobs and services! Recruit to the unions!

www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli... He wants all of us to adopt American style health ins. Policies. Do people realise what happens in šŸ“ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó “ó æ if NHS šŸ“ó §ó ¢ó „ó ®ó §ó æ is no longer public funded? Think about it, that policy would be a disaster for our budget here #Scottishindependence would be far more preferable

Been swamped today, just got 5 mins to pop on & was smacked in the face by thisšŸ‘‡šŸ¼abominationā—ļøšŸ˜³šŸ˜” The White House is fcuked up beyond all recognition and has plunged to new levels of crass, insane behaviour not seen before.. I’m not Catholic, not religious, but even I find it deeply offensiveā—ļøšŸ¤¬

This is gimme, gimme at its finest.

Hey British media, It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning. Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

Reform’s Yusuf says party can deliver on promises, as Badenoch and Streeting respond to election losses Kuenssberg is now in bed with Reform, ditching the Tories… He also says Santa is real, everyone will win the Lottery, & not pay tax if Reform are in Govt And the hard of thinking believe themā—ļøšŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø

This week on Kuenssberg, Laura acts as Cheerleader in Chief for the right wing as usual with thisšŸ‘‡šŸ¼trite headline šŸ™„ It’s obvious to anyone with a brain Farage’s ego wants to be PM.. that’s not news The fact the BBC with MSM is doing everything possible to help him, is scandalous as it is sickeningā—ļø

With Trump’s global tariff policy on Australian’s minds—they made a remarkable turnaround and re-elected Anthony Albanese. Albanese’s popularity was at a record low in January. But the Trump effect guaranteed that Australians shunned the ā€œrightistā€ candidate.

Intimate and 220 people do not belong in the same sentenceā—ļøšŸ™„šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø But then… everything Trump says doesn’t belong in the same sentences that he throws them into as he tortures the English language.. Is English even his first language.. has anyone checked šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø

Some good news. Advanced skin cancer patients are being fast-tracked into the NHS’ revolutionary vaccine trial. This is a stage 2 trial but patients have already seen tumours shrunk. It’s part of the NHS’ groundbreaking Cancer Vaccine Launch Pad which is developing vaccines for different cancers.

Find them. Listen to them. Work with them. Coz they will be your win in 2/4 years time. #elbowsup

This is 8 years' old. Hasn't worn well, has it?

From Quora. Reply to another exceptionalist MAGA troll.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: So, I think what American farmers are waking up to is the fact that Canadians are no longer buying their products. We’re just not going to participate in this abusive relationship. You threaten us, we don’t buy your products. How about that?

Just popping in to ā€œclean the palateā€ from the absolute bile being promulgated by MAGA on Twitter (it’ll never be X to me).

Tories who favour a "merger" with Reform should be watching this week's events. Farage does not share power. There is no world in which he's a loyal minister in a Tory cabinet. The only merger that works for him is one that he leads. Either they take him on, or he takes them over.

DONALD TRUMP: "I'm requiring everyone in America to speak English." AMERICA: "You first."

Why did Congressional Republicans betray their oath of office and serve up our country to a murderous junta? Because they’re rank, mewling cowards. Betraying every American from the first colonial patriot with a musket on.

Trump is preparing to dissolve the leadership of the U.S. Postal Service and absorb the independent mail agency into his administration, potentially throwing the mail provider and trillions of dollars of ecommerce transactions into turmoil www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Just to remind people that tomorrow is the 3rd anniversary of Putin’s unlawful invasion of Ukraine. His planned 3 day ā€œspecial operationā€ is still being slogged out, costing Russia about 1 million men (dead and injured) courtesy of Ukrainian courage. Be there if you can to support them šŸ™

I find it telling that the dumbest most illiterate man we ever seen in the oval, wants to close the education department.

NLRB protects workers unionizing, investigates unfair business practices & enforces collective bargaining agreements. Felon Trump fired our General Counsel, gutting the agency's ability to function, giving businesses permission to screw over workers. http://dlvr.it/TJ1B8Y

Do you get the feeling Rupert Lowe- Life flips his lid if he sees a sign in Welsh, Scottish or Gaelicā“šŸ¤”šŸ‘‡šŸ¼ I can just imagine him muttering to himself ā€œbloody foreigners should piss off back where they came from if English isn’t good enough for themā€šŸ™„

Trump/Musk shutting down USAID puts us all at greater risk.

Billionaire wants to control space and has his hand on the shoulder of the president of the USA. It could make a right conspiracy theorist head explode…if they weren’t that dumb.

Keir Starmer responds to Kemi Badenoch attacks that he’s a ā€œlawyer, not a leaderā€. PM says: ā€œShe’s not a lawyer, she’s not a leader, if she keeps going like this, she’s going to be the next lettuceā€. #PMQs 🄬

Back of the bus I was behind. It struck me immediately that I wouldn’t fucking touch this with a barge pole. Simply because of the USA link (as well as the fact it looks and sounds shite)

Frasers Group says two-thirds of retail staff on zero-hours contracts. Job insecurity means struggle to make ends meet, rent/buy home. Many rely on benefits. All to boost profits, exec pay, dividends. Govt says it will ban 'exploitative' zero hour contracts. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Water access issues for firefighters in and around Los Angeles are due to challenges related to the region's wildfires, not its overall water supply. Trump's claims otherwise are "unhelpful, to say the least." @petergleick.bsky.social on misinformation and the LA wildfires. ā¬‡ļø

Badenoch skewered by Starmer on her silence about child protection/grooming when her party was in government. And for the 8 years she's personally been an MP. #PMQs

Morning All, Is it me, or does it feel like everything has gone tits up a bit earlier than usual this year? Usually everyone waits until at least the third Monday of January to set the world aflame. I think people are being waaay to enthusiastic. Sigh. Wishing everyone a fabulous week.

What a thoroughly nasty man Elon Musk is. No-one elected him. He’s just a huge troll sat on a pile of gold, chuckling about what kingdom he can smash up next.
