So interesting this morning. A LOT of Reform new Councilors are trying to quit. I wonder what’s going to happen in Councils where they have won the majority? These morons aren’t going to give up well paying jobs for £5-6k a year for 7am-10pm. Interesting ….

Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party officially classified as an "extremist" organisation - promoting hatred of minorities, threat to democracy. Nigel Farage backed and campaigned for AfD. Spoke alongside a politician who once said police should be able to shoot at refugees.

Efficiency and cost cutting have nothing to do with Trump's Executive Orders or Musk's DOGE. It's all about government capture and theft and cruelty. youtu.be/rky7sIh-PZs?...

In the local elections in the UK, #Trump mate Farage’s party swept to several victories based on migrant bashing. 36% of eligible voters voted. The haters & MAGA style simpletons think their lives will improve. Farage has done nothing for his voters as he is never there. He wants power like Putin

If there's a disaster, a fully charged EV with "Vehicle To Load" would be more of an asset than a gas car. Why? - You can charge your and your neighbour's phones and run other devices from it, - You can recharge it from rooftop solar panels. - No queue for the gas station, just charge at home.

Political hacks can pat themselves on the back. They have some success at last. The party they all but invented, on whose behalf they have openly canvassed public approval, has won some seats. The latest from East Anglia's acerbic diarist. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

Let’s just remind ourselves about Farage’s big meal ticket idea again. And no, this isn’t about how the Tories did it, this is just Brexit reality. And Farage would make the deal even worse. Pariah status, unreliable, ruined UK howling about immigration and moaning that everything is broken.

Lawrence O’Donnell, MSNBC host and former Sopranos writer, said if he had to write Trump into the show today, he’d name him “Donny Two Dolls.” That’s not just a nickname. That’s a full character assassination. @alttext.bsky.social
