She was right about everything

Keir Starmer says business are "in favour of our trade deals", specifically mentioning the UK-EU deal to be revealed at Monday's summit 👀 . "The EU deal, good for our economy - she's not even going to wait to see what it says, she absurdly says she's going to rip it up." #PMQs

🚨 Newly elected Reform Leicestershire county councillor was sacked from the police👇🏼 Andrew Hamilton-Gray was fired after a misconduct hearing in Jan 2024 found he’d called in sick to go to Spain, when he should’ve been working.. Bravo Loughborough, you voted for a grifter, he won’t disappoint❗️🤷🏼‍♂️ 🤣😂

This really can’t be pointed out enough

"A private workshop took place on 11 March 2025 in Washington DC, hosted by the Heritage Foundation, to discuss proposals by European right-wing lobby groups to dismantle the European Union and the European Court of Justice."

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @laloalcaraz)

Israel denying food to Gaza is 'weapon of war', UN Palestinian refugee agency head tells BBC.. I struggle to see how the hate driven #Genocide they’ve been inflicting on innocent children/civilians by weapons & starvation is less heinous than their ancestors were subjected to by the Nazis 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Boris Johnson 2019: police funding is being "spaffed up the wall" investigating historic child abuse. Boris Johnson 2025: “I don't know why we don't have a national inquiry [into the grooming gangs]…”

Nigel Farage’s economic plans are a disaster Three choices: fiscal implosion, deep austerity or a hasty U-turn www.economist.com/britain/2025...

Well-done to islanders who voted for someone noone has ever heard of, who wasn't there on election day and hasn't turned up to their first day of work... Patriotic Indeed.

🔥 This is important. Really important. And none of the mainstream media are reporting it. So please read and share — because we are the news community for ourselves and the “mainstream” media are utterly hopeless for meaningful news.

No words. Just days after the death of the Pope, the President of the United States publishes a photo of himself dressed as the Pontiff on the official White House channels. This is not satire. It’s not leadership.

The top 5 reasons people didn't vote Labour. Immigration isn't any of them.

This sums the whole situation up quite nicely.

Employment rights bill ‘improves Labour’s favourability among voters’ Polling for TUC suggests measures could lure voters back from Reform, Greens or independents, but finds low awareness www.theguardian.com/law/2025/apr...

“He and his party have never run anything – a local council, a parish council. He’s spent a lifetime doing what he accuses others of doing, which is riding the political gravy train” Farage will take your votes and then take the piss. Don’t give him that chance. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

What concessions has Russia offered to get to peace? Trump: "Stopping the war. Stopping taking the whole country. Pretty big concession." Trump is projecting Putin's phony narrative and using it to set the terms of the conclusion to the war - in Russia's advantage. This is no concession at all.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social We should stop referring to Trump's extortion as 'deals' If I put a gun to your head and demand your wallet, do we have a deal? Would a civilised law, under those circumstances, refer to me as a 'deal maker'? Or to your principled refusal as a 'deal breaker'? I think not

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Calling Putin’s threats ‘negotiations’ is like calling rape a romantic overture You don’t civilise a sadist by flattering his demands; you degrade yourself and desecrate diplomacy Putin has literally nothing to trade except a cessation of his own crimes #JusticeMatters

If these Ukraine peace terms are as reported, they are a historic betrayal. Nothing in American history would come near to it. It would side the US squarely and definitively with dictatorship inews.co.uk/opinion/trum...

As the news report that US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth had a second signal chat in which he shared detailed military plans with his family One wonders if he was inspired by Mission Gainsborough from this episode of Blackadder Goes Forth 👀

Watch every second of this fiery speech last week by Letitia James. THIS is why Trump is going after her.

I am advocating for due process for Abrego Garcia.

And then they came for me…

Make no mistake, they’ll eventually turn on their own!

In Trump's America, the one thing you can count on is a potential market meltdown every 90 days. Ask yourself: what CEO, business, or trading partner in their right mind is going to ever invest in America when a psychopath tries to blow up the economy every 90 days?

War hero schools a chickenhawk.

Elon’s $250 million investment in Trump has yielded him a net personal loss of $120 billion. Unfortunately, the stupidity of the billionaire elites will cost us all dearly.
