You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

Sickening.

Over *6,000* people are now backing the call for Marks & Spencer to pull their ads from GB News & #StopFundingHate 💥💥💥 actionstorm.org/petitions/ma... Hatred is being normalised - but we're pushing back

Zelenskyy hails 'absolute heroism' of the Ukrainian people on third anniversary of Russian invasion www.lbc.co.uk/news/zelensk...

London stands in solidarity with Ukraine My message to Ukrainian Londoners: Thank you for the contribution you make to our city. Ukrainians have shown great strength and sacrifice to defend our shared European values and preserve their sovereignty following Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Companies behind Great Britain’s gas pipes and power lines pocketed £3.9bn "excess profits” over the past four years after Ofgem misjudged their costs. Will we get a refund - no chance. Ofgem doesn't protect people. Need customer elected directors on the boards of all utilities.

Trump could have pushed for an end to the war in Ukraine without becoming actively hostile to Ukraine. Instead, he has imbibed Putin’s lies. Have written about the emergence of a new US/Russia axis, where it comes from and the staggering implications for Europe. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

HSBC net zero goal delayed 20 years, as CEO offered 600% bonus. Bankers already live on another planet and are willing to let the earth burn to fuel their lust for profits. Shareholders don't care, customers have no representation on boards, regulators and govts let them wreak havoc.

It feels like we're one bad round of golf away from America joining the Ukraine war... on Russia's side.

Yesterday GB News aired this commentary belittling a black actress on the BBC as a "diversity hire". This is what Marks & Spencer have been aligning with. Take action: www.facebook.com/MarksandSpen...

Ukraine needs to see our solidarity more than ever now 🇬🇧🇺🇦🇪🇺

Sorted. 😉😎

I will be back on air tomorrow. 🎉🎉🥳🥳👏👏🍾🍾🙌🙌

As Ofwat opens an enforcement case against Thames Water, which is due to go bankrupt in 34 days, we ask 'What is Steve Reed waiting for?' End the farce. Public ownership now.

👏👏👏

Billionaires become rich by renting out damp, mouldy substandard homes. Tenants suffer health hazards and increase pressure on health services whilst the rich count cash, live in leafy suburbs and hide behind anonymous companies. Why not confiscate properties, renovate?

⏰The Govt have under 2 weeks to block the bailout of Thames Water. 📑25,000 people have signed the petition to take Thames Water into public ownership. #Thames has failed and shouldn't be rewarded with a £3 billion bailout. Agree? Sign our petition tinyurl.com/yxht3p94

I heard some Herbert from the Spectator praising Trump for restoring ‘freedom of speech’ the other day. In fact, I’ve heard several British right-wing blowhards say the same. Are they utterly, utterly stupid or morally bankrupt or both?

Donald Trump plumbs new depths! #America will support #Ukraine, but it must be clear that we will only do so if it benefits us in return! www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

🔥 “A stunning three out of four of the 18 to 25-year-olds, who mostly did not have a chance to vote in the referendum, think leaving was a mistake.”

See how happy they are, just look at those gorgeous smiling faces, love 'em 🤣 #BackyardHens #RescueHens ❤️

New Brexit benefits from tomorrow …

Brilliant.

"Once a hub for news, debate, and connection, Twitter has devolved into a cesspit of hate and chaos. Today, I’m sending my final tweet."

This statement from the Defence Secretary about a ‘Russian spy ship’ passing through UK waters TWICE in recent months is worth reading ‘President Putin …we know what you are doing’ says John Healey

Total wealth of 57 UK billionaires increased by £35m per day to £182bn in 2024. Most of the wealth is taken, not earned. 16m Britons live in poverty. Govts refuse to levy wealth tax. Capital gains & dividends taxed at lower rates than wages. Who governs? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/oxfa...

In recognition of today #TrumpIsACûnt

The standout most bonkers thing about Isabel Oakeshott's move to Dubai is that she's blaming the relocation on Keir Starmer... and his VAT on private schools policy

Sounds like a plan

💥 It passes!! 💥 The Youth Mobility (EU Countries) Bill has just passed its first reading. No opposition voiced by the govt. your thousands of emails stopped them shutting it down. Well done @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social on a superb speech. 👏👏👏

Tremendously sad to hear of the sudden death of Tony Slattery - we worked together a few times in the last couple of months and he was someone I felt empathy for and camaraderie with from the first time I met him a few years ago - a sweet and clever man www.chortle.co.uk/news/2025/01...
