Imagine Roosevelt, instead of joining the allies in WW2, meets with Hitler, declares that he is only acting in defence of Germany and denounces Churchill as a dictator for suspending elections while Britain was at war. Then offers to broker peace in return for access to British coal. #Ukraine

When a serving police officer with 15 years experience prefers to use his subjective experience over verified independent statistics on prison sentence length, one has to question how impartial some police are. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

So, looks like Keir Starmer is going to the meeting in Paris on Monday. Also, looks like Weimar+ rather than entire EU. It is very good news that he is going and I wish people would focus on that and not on the clichéd way he talks about it. We need the UK for Europe. So I will take this, thank you.

WORLD’S RICHEST MAN BUYING OUR DEMOCRACY! Elon Musk is set to pump £78m into Nigel Farage’s party—a sum that would allow Reform to flood our politics with targeted ads. Maybe other countries allow billionaires to buy elections, but not here! 38d.gs/yjlf

Feeling so powerless, with the insanity taking over the US and spilling out into Europe. Only thing I can do is #boycottUS goods. The only thing Trump, Musk et al understand is money so hit them in the wallet.

Our NHS is not for sale. Trade talks with Trump must not open the door to US healthcare companies profiting from our NHS. Keir Starmer must protect our NHS by keeping it off the table during negotiations. Join me by adding your name to 38 Degrees’ petition: 38d.gs/82rc

Support for change is growing... "Half of Britons (49%) would support the introduction of a PR system, almost twice as many as the 26% who favour retaining our present FPTP system." yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

It may be tempting to believe that the #Trump tariffs will only affect US trade but the destabilising effect on the world economy will affect us all. It’s time world leaders put this idiot in his place. We need to show that free trade is an essential component in sharing the planet. Isolate the US.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Is it telling that #RachelReeves can name the journalists from GBNews, Telegraph and Mail while the journalist from the Mirror was ‘that lady there’?

He's not f'ing wrong. Wherever we all sit politically, sometimes those differences need to be put aside. To sit idly by, with heels firmly entrenched in our respective 'corners'.. no, now is not that time. Without some cohesion, we're in trouble. Fuck this fascism shit. (Soz for the grump)

Glory for a moment in the fevered desperation of the Tory press to have someone do worse than their very own, very special, out-of-control firehose, Liz Truss, spraying them all forever with her mess. No. Not this time, you silly twats. The wait for a replacement goes on… (Private Eye)

Did you have a glass of tap water today? It might not be as safe as you think. English drinking water is polluted with toxic ‘forever chemicals’ linked to cancer and fertility problems. The Government needs to act – sign this petition to demand clean water for everyone.

As one of the 45% in France denied a vote, I thoroughly concur with this. In my case a formal complaint to the council was met with the assertion that all ballot papers were sent out and the fault lay with the postal service. Except, the papers never arrived.

So after all the fluff about #GiselaStuart and the appointment of the new negotiator for the #EUReset, we get Michael Ellam, who worked for both Ken Clarke and Gordon Brown then HSBC for 10 yrs. Cambridge and LSE educated, a safe pair of hands. Seems a good choice. www.politico.eu/article/keir...

Before jumping in to criticise #Starmer for going all in on #AI, you should try using what is available now. A complete lesson plan, graded text, vocabulary list, comprehension and grammar quiz, all in less than 30 mins. A quarter of the time it takes to do normally. It will improve productivity.

I see we're working our way through all the stupidest historical takes now, in a mission to kill every living brain cell on earth. If Hitler was a "communist socialist guy", why were Communists and Socialists the very first people he killed? Riddle me that Batman. www.politico.eu/article/elon...

And here's something Sir Kier Starmer won't be doing. Just in case one day, some ket-addled, dementedly racist, richer-than-God foreign multi-billionaire monster decides they want to bung his for-sale political party a hundred million dollars. Just in case.

This is an astonishingly ill-informed and amoral assessment for the political editor of the BBC to have reached, about someone spreading extremist conspiracy theories and using them to whip up hatred against elected politicians. I'd say I'm surprised, but sadly I'm not.
