Britain. Where the sky is blue and the planes stay in the air.

You can tell a lot about someone from the company they keep.

A reliable voice. If you've never seen Jonathan Pie, then...brace yourself. youtu.be/Jk0nUUqG_Ag?...

Brits don’t sugarcoat 🤣

PIERS: “How could Zelensky have an election in the middle of a war?” TUCKER: “How did FDR?” PIERS: “Nobody had invaded America.” 🎯 (Reminder — Not holding elections during wartime is not new: www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrain...)

There’s some mad thinking going on among UK conservative figures right now. They’re cherry-picking the parts of the Trump agenda that they really, really like - the racism, the misogyny, the anti-trans stuff, the breaking the state so it can’t operate and calling it a return to democracy. 1/2

Nigel Farage Is a 'Political Fraud' Who Must Be Exposed as an 'NHS-Privatising Putin Apologist', Says TUC Leader – Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2025/02/05/n...

He nails it.

I think this is the whe Internet's weekly allowance of swears in one short video about the oxygen thief Donald J Trump, his betrayal of Western values, and thodious pack of has-beens that amplify his every word. And it's all spot on. https://youtu.be/Jk0nUUqG_Ag?feature=shared

God moves in mysterious ways, his wonders to behold.

This is a poor headline from the BBC. The US aren't offering a "deal" - they want the minerals in return for support already given. It's straight up extortion.

I don’t normally quote the Daily Star, but they’ve got this right!

Macron is joining Starmer on the trip to DC to listen to Trump’s ramblings next week. European front.

Tyrant, Traitor…Trump

Spot on

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

I hear Nigel Farage is declining interview requests. First time for everything, I suppose. I suspect he’ll eventually speak to whoever is least likely to challenge him properly.

Fucking hell. I half agree with Dan Hodges on something.

Nigel Farage says he will always put "country" first. Here's a reminder of which country he's talking about.

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

I wonder how Boris Johnson is going to sanewash Trumps latest tantrum. What a loser!

That’s how you write a headline, people.

Nobody with an IQ above room temp (celsius) gives a shit what Farage thinks or says.

Kemi Badenoch says ‘western civilisation will be lost’ if Tory party fails. No introspection from a party that destroyed the UK economy, healthcare, public services, household income, illegally prorogued parliament, promoted social divisions, handed contracts to cronies Tories won't be missed.

"As the lawyer for some of the UK victims of Tate’s alleged crimes, I find this development, if true, equally bizarre and outrageous... The US shouldn’t be interfering based on Elon Musk’s political whims and predilections and the money Tate makes for him on X." ~AA

Subtle.

You will never believe what happened next at the newspaper that printed this front page.

Kemi Badenoch says we don't need to give away Chagos islands Despite her Conservative government conducting 11 of the 13 meetings to do so

That's a risk we'll just have to take

For all those on the British right who have basked in Trump’s favour, let this be a moment of reckoning. British voters or Trump & Putin? Pick a side, Mr Farage. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
