Maybe two men who fathered 17 children with 6 different women between them shouldn’t be lecturing about family values.

How the feck does the far-right “surge” in Germany? I honestly used to believe that *most* people were good but now I have changed my mind. I’m done believing in the innate goodness of humans.

Well done the Tories - I'm impressed they managed to fit all this into 14 years. Skier will never match this level of output.

This is just one paragraph of the explanation given by the Anglican Catholic Church as to why Alter Mitty was sacked and, in the absence of point by point refutation is shows that he is lying.

Just watched an advert for Chase Bank (we’re watching Unforgotten on “play it again Sam”). As if we’d bank with an American bank whilst the bastard orange one is sitting in the White House.

Prepare yourselves. Physically. Mentally. Logistically.

The tragedy of our universities in deep recession is that, for all the caveats, they produce exactly that connectivity, that sense of place, that attachment and even love that everyone is saying they want. You'll miss it all once it's gone.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Back with all you wonderful followers (we surely all feel the same 😍) Going to bed early. What a very weird Saturday we’ve had in this house here.

Jeeesus wept.Had another power cut at 15.30 odd.Power just turned back on. Obviously finished the bottle we opened this morning. The worst thing I realised was not that I was cold (throws), gas cooker so we had a meal but eff me, I NEED THE DAMN INTERNET Opening another bottle. Cheers m’dears!

The leader of France’s far-right quit CPAC over Nazi ideology. Meanwhile, Farage happily embraces the Nazi at the same event. Says a lot about champagne fascist Farage. #ukpolitics

I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.

And the prospect of a buzz cut.

BBC News on hour reporting straight that Trump has got rid of military chiefs because ‘they’re too mired in woke culture’ 🤯🤯🤯 Traditional liberal democratic media still hasn’t learned how to report on authoritarians, even now when it’s almost too late

think what grates most about Fraser Nelson's "a dramatic shift? of MY Overton window?" shtick is that those of us who kept talking about the Spectator's dangerous slide to the right were treated as hysterical, not able to see the humour in shock jocks, etc etc, when we were just clearly right!

Woke up this morning and discovered we had a power cut. WHAT? NO coffee. No heat. So did what any sensible adult woman would do and poured a glass of Cava. That kick-started my day. Felt like I was on holiday apart from not adding orange juice to my fizz (no juice in house). Power now back on😁

BREAKING: It's only the first day of CPAC, and Grindr has already crashed twice.

At some point global leaders are going to have to start acknowledging that Trump's America can't be worked with. His Presidency has made neo-Nazis so emboldened that even Bardella is put off. That should be a sign to stop pretending it is business as usual. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

They keep showing us exactly who they are.

In case anyone is still uncertain whether Trump and Musk are allied to Putin — @bylinetimes.bsky.social has been covering the Trump alliance for six years, and we cottoned onto Musk quite quickly

They Just Now Figured Out He’s A Traitor www.thegodpodcast.com/p/they-just-...

Honestly, this is an insane thing for a major political party to be running with. It’s mad. It’s by mad people for mad people.

It’s amazing to me that people still question whether or not Trump is a stooge for Putin.

Well said @alexmassie.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/alexmass...

This is good from the UK’s former Defence Minister & Army veteran, Ben Wallace. He dismantles Trump’s lies one by one, pointing out that he’s just spewing Kremlin talking points. Ukraine started the war - LIE US gives more funding than Europe - LIE Ukraine needs elections - LIE (🎥 LBC Radio)

Trump repeatedly promised no Medicaid cuts. Today, he endorsed the House GOP budget, which would cut almost $900 billion from Medicaid and the ACA. He’d rather give billionaires tax cuts than give you and your family affordable health care.

National Park ranger fired from "dream job" on Valentine's Day pens emotional viral letter: "Things are not ok" www.cbsnews.com/news/nationa...

This from Boris Johnson, attacking Donald Trump's critics for daring to suggest that the President of the United States shouldn't outright lie to us, tells us everything we need to know about him

As well as the blatant lies told by Trump, it is galling that a bone-spur draft-dodger lectures a man who has set himself against a powerful invader and not flinched.

I, too, approve this message. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 🌻

UK MP says US is now “least reliable NATO partner”. And not just any MP - Gethins is an ex-Prof in International Relations.

Brexit was the petri dish for all of this. Stamer should publish the Russia report that Johnson sat on.

“If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.”

I’m not sure you can spend the last decade painting anyone who still supports membership of a trading partnership as a traitor then pivot to “we must give the authoritarian invader of Europe everything he wants” and not expect a teensy bit of Quisling chat back, if I’m honest.

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

At Mar-a-Lago, Michael Flynn, claimed only 1,000 British troops died in the Revolutionary War. Fact check: One historian estimates 8,500 British troops were killed.
