An energy vampire took human form today to tell us the oven-ready Brexit was actually bullshit only Tory shysters can still defend. #ukpilitics

Charge her and use the law to get it all back!

Looking forward to that Daily Mail front page retracting its calls for Reeves to resign

So, Tories finally admit they left the EU with no plan “for growth”. They also had no plan for trade, science, the arts, business, jobs, training, education, travel, farming, fishing, borders, immigration, healthcare, regulations, food security… for ANYTHING… A catastrophe of prejudiced uselessness.

So, this should trigger a public inquiry into possible misconduct in public office & the potential involvement of hostile foreign nations. No sane commercial CEO would embark on such an initiative. So are we just supposed to shrug at this behaviour from those we trusted to govern our country? #FBPE

This is a timely reminder that Farage sold Brexit lies, stripping our kids of EU rights while his own enjoy them - study, work, retire in Europe. The fascist is a selfish, two-faced conman who laughs while our children left with nothing. #ukpolitics

No comment needed.

Can anyone translate? Please?

THE UK RETURNED TO GROWTH IN NOVEMBER. LABOUR IS WORKING

I couldn’t give a damn about Badenoch’s speech today. They’re out of power. 4+years from an election. Incapable of working out where they went wrong. Unapologetic for the damage they’ve done. Pathologically dishonest and very unpleasant. Nothing she says will change that. Nothing she says matters.

Let’s never forget who came to our aid…and who has done nothing but spew lies and threats.

I still can’t quite get my head around the Tories lecturing labour about inflation, saying it’s premature to be popping champagne corks. They forget inflation hit 11% when they were in power and they used to wank themselves into a congratulatory coma every time it dropped.

Mike Johnson is threatening to condition California wildfire aid to raising the debt ceiling, which would pave the way for another round of deficit-spiking tax cuts for the wealthy. Playing politics with people's lives to make your donors richer is reprehensible.

In early 2020, a pandemic was spreading. The UK’s PM went on a 10 day half-term holiday during which he was uncontactable and the government went into panic mode, focusing, as Hancock related to the COVID enquiry, on buying enough body bags. 1/8

107 Tories and those Deform fascists -Tice, Lowe, and McMurdock, voted against the Renters’ Rights Bill. A bill to give tenants basic rights, security, and protection from losing their homes. They’d rather screw over renters and leave people on the streets. Absolute scum. #ukpolitics

Nailed it

Mental age of a five year old.

Agreed with @NormOrnstein - definitely do NOT share this image!!! Lol bluevirginia.us/2025/01/satu...

The New Republic is doing it right. Journalists take note

Well this is a bit unexpected..

I doubt any Troll here who’s trying to smear ⁦Keir Starmer about decade-old events will be interested to read these pages from my book about his record prosecuting rape gangs. But he’s done more to bring them to justice than Farage, Yaxley-Lennon - or Musk -will ever do.

If you watch one thing today, make it this @mrjamesob.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=aVyk...

In other news, Nigel Farage didn't bother to turn up to the debate on grooming gangs in the House of Commons just now

As a veteran 'No, honestly, Labour MPs who are willing to break the whip and vote to make sure Brexit happens will always outnumber Conservative Remainers', I really didn't think I could be surprised at the Tory party's (non-existent?) intellectual immune system, yet here we are.

I first learnt of grooming gangs from @theTimes in Jan 2011 I became chief prosecutor May 2011 I authorised charging Rochdale grooming gang June 2011 After convictions (May 2012) Starmer put me in charge of national response Far Right thugs attacked my home 1000s of rapists were brought to justice

Lots of people commenting on the So called grooming gang issue in following some “intervention” from the USA They might want to consider that Starmer left office as DPP with the highest conviction rate for child sexual abuse since records began

@mrjamesob.bsky.social This New York Times report on the Musk/grooming controversy is worth a read. It’s the kind of writing we would have expected from British newspapers like The Times and The Telegraph prior to the era of populism. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/06/o...
