Just about to leave nearly 2000 followers on X because I’ve had enough of Musk, Farage etc and their nasty right-wing cabal. Hoping to find some blue sky here and some like-minded, honest and empathetic people.

whoops

Matt Hancock intervened personally to help a pizza firm, owned by a Conservative donor, win a lucrative Covid PPE contract. Two days before winning the deal, the company, which had no previous experience of supplying medical equipment, removed ‘pizza’ from its name bylinetimes.com/2025/04/11/m...

This week's bit for @bylinetimes.bsky.social commemorates that time I was ceremonially cut in two and disemboweled by the NHS. Caution: contains Andrew Lansley (No paywall) www.bylinesupplement.com/p/russell-jo...

The White House. The actual White House. This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

Feels almost cruel to point out that all the bollocks about our 10% tariffs being a 'Brexit benefit' lasted for about four days. But here we are...

Keep posting

Trevor Philips, "Is the 10% tariff on the UK a benefit of Brexit?" Caroline Lucas, "Leaving the EU costs us 5% of GDP" "Trump's 10% tariff has an impact of 0.3%" "And this special relationship with the US is no better than an island with a whole load of penguins on it"

This one should be an award winner

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

Govt may be relieved that UK faces lower Trump tariffs than others but it’s a trap. A deal with the unreliable lunatic means lowering standards, betraying our farmers and undermining trust and compatibility for any EU reset which is far more valuable to us. Let’s not fuck this up too. (Letter,Times)

At least he’s wearing a suit! 🤣

Three minutes from me on why the Trump tariff “Brexit dividend” idea is the weirdest take of the year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c98A...

Lol! I say send in the Seals! 😉

Another piece of the jigsaw.

Great man! What an achievement.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I started boycotting American products a couple of weeks ago. Check every label now and if it has anything American related it’s back on the shelf.

Kemi Badenoch just revealed her ignorance when she arrogantly described Adolescence ( a programme she hasn’t watched) as a work of fiction and less important than many other issues. She’s just proved just how out of touch with reality she is.

Does anyone think Trump’s tariffs are an April Fool and that he really does have a sense of humour after all?

You truly could not make it up. You could not.

Musk did not buy X to protect free speech. He bought it to promote the far-right. It is now being used to silence dissenters against authoritarian government. www.politico.eu/article/musk...

🧵 we look to be entering crimes against humanity at this point.

Welp, there goes the US defense industry.

Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand
