I’m intrigued by the mental gymnastics of those who criticised Starmer for accepting gifts, yet deem it acceptable for Trump to receive a $400 million jet.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Is it me or is there an echo with the callers? I'm listening with headphones and its driving me bonkers. It is only the callers who have an echo.

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants. History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well. 🧵

Hard to keep up... ...but it seems in an afternoon Donald Trump is willing to: - Give up Crimea and occupied Donbas on Kyiv's behalf - Deny Ukraine Nato membership - Demand Europe 100k provide peace keepers - Rehabilitate Putin, though he invaded + De-emphasise US defence of Europe

Nick Candy says he will raise more than £40 million to make Nigel Farage Prime Minister. Oh ok. That’s how it’s going to work now, is it? Democracy torched by spoiled brat billionaires buying power for themselves and their arsehole mates. It couldn’t be more critical for us all that they fail.

I came onto Bluesky an hour ago, and the first two things I saw were posts providing useful context for understanding the imposition of martial law in South Korea—the exact kind of thing that Twitter used to be so useful for in a developing crisis.

Reform UK MP James McMurdock was convicted for ‘repeatedly kicking his girlfriend’, and Nigel Farage thinks he deserves ‘Christian forgiveness’. The same Nigel Farage who assures us he’ll protect women and children from evil immigrants. Hypocritical c*nt.

Here’s a short story about who wins and loses from the status quo of our inheritance tax rules - and about, what you might politely call ‘sub-optimal’ journalism🧵

Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own. Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest? Thread: 1/

Has anyone noticed the petition Farage seems to be promoting for a general election is signed by many non-UK countries? I thought this guy wanted sovereignty etc! I went over the JSON Data. Here’s a list of non-UK countries signing it: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria.......🧵
