"Just last Friday in Munich, US Vice President JD Vance uttered a litany of easily provable lies about the United Kingdom" But Kemi believed them. 🙄 inews.co.uk/opinion/oh-k...

From tomorrow’s Daily Telegraph

This makes so much sense

Liz Truss is an idiot. Not because she's a Tory. Not because she's a woman. Not because she's blond. Not because etc No, she's just an idiot.

Yes, Donald. The USA has fallen to tyranny. You’ve collapsed the Constitution. Torched American soft power. Allowed a drug-addled menace to trash any and all govt departments. Risked the world’s health and safety. Betrayed your citizens and your allies. Hand claps don’t come any slower than this.

Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent… A relentless, ruinous stupidity. (Private Eye)

Wait until MAGA find out that Putin is a - gasp! - a Communist! Waitaminute... Didn't the US once have this bug purge of Communists?

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

OK, I think I have here a prototype four a sturdy, lockable, standardized, mounting system for generic pegboard and it’s pretty damn close to ready for primetime. Once I get the mounting system set I have a list of around 200 accessories that I’m going to gradually work through making. #3Dprinting

Absolutely! If the US is calling the UK and the EU 'children' we should take back our stuff and tell them to... leave.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

"My rehire rates are 3 times the old rate and I want to be paid 6 months in advance. In cash, please."

It’s great to see so much more media attention on the hard right anti gender ideologues at ARC if surreal when you’ve been tracking these networks for a long time… www.opendemocracy.net/en/us-anti-a... @opendemocracy.net

6 years ago Putin openly interfering in our democracy - it was obvious to many that the UK would be seriously damaged & isolated by Brexit & that none of the promised sunlit uplands would materialise. Yet Tories took Russian money & hobnobbed with Putin’s spies. www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

Trump is reportedly looking to shrink the FDIC and consolidate it into other govt agencies. The FDIC was created during the Depression to protect bank deposits. This would come after Trump and DOGE shuttered the CFPB, which protects us from financial fraud. See the pattern?

So, let’s get this straight, because I feel like I must be missing something here.

America first means Britain needs a customs union with Europe www.cityam.com/america-firs...

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Fascinating video essay on the very specific aesthetic of republican women youtu.be/w2xS1wEYfeM?...

Democracy, itself, is the inefficiency that DOGE intends to shut down. They're dismantling institutions one-by-one, to replace it with AI and tech autocracy. www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Every. Single. Bloody. Thing. They. Promised. About. Brexit. Was. A. Lie. And on they go demanding it be protected as if it’s something precious rather than the stupidest thing a country could have done to itself. Here’s what prejudice delivers… A barrelling shitshow of failure. 👇
