Champagne Fascist Tice hates this Labour government's success, especially as it proves his doom-mongering nonsense wrong. 👇 #ukpolitics

Thick Snowden (Tory) wants to drill UK oil, but he doesn’t know it’s sold on international markets. #ukpolitics

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Dunno, but I bet they've got their trotters up...

Thursday night commute brought to you by the colour yellow 🟡

I have done three loads of laundry including sheets and finished the first half of my peer reviews

This is the pivotal point, which the Starmer government must understand electorally if it can't understand it politically

Tomorrow marks 100 days since Badenoch became Tory leader, and it’s been a total disaster. She’s grossly over-promoted, completely out of her depth, and utterly incapable. Instead of offering leadership, she’s only made the Tories look more lost and unfit to lead. A complete failure. #ukpolitics

I’m sure “DOGE” will be all over this.. truthout.org/articles/tes...

Also just a new rule … if you’re a white person shocked about the rise of white supremacy And you find yourself on an all white panel With no discussion of context before five years And only talking about its effects on white ness Congrats you’re Sally Bowles

"Should he manage to embed himself in the federal government, his next big pitch to investors wouldn’t be so specific, and he’d hardly even have to make it: Imagine a world in which I can’t lose” nymag.com/intelligence...

Truly abysmal goings-on at the Mirror, as reported in Private Eye. Literally holding my head in my hands reading this.

This can't go on much longer, can it?

The order was clear for the low-rank Tory MP Mak: do what Tories do - lie, talk nonsense about the AstraZeneca government contract. Everyone couldn't care less. But Labour's Chris Bryant, well, he did care. #ukpolitics

“By saying it will lift its tariff threats in exchange for annexation, America is saying that military alliances do not matter and that it can ride rough-shod over its friends—or anyone” www.economist.com/by-invitatio...

China unveils US tariffs and Google investigation in response to Trump levies Finance ministry has announced 15% tariffs on coal and liquefied natural gas, and 10% on crude oil, farm equipment, large-displacement vehicles and pickup trucks from the US www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

And don’t actually trust any of these folks because again Blue Sky came in mocking Black folks , threatening harm, allowing anti trans abuse And Blacksky moderation is great but it’s still ultimately PEOPLE Who are consistently undervalued

Happy Black History Month. My publisher is doing a February giveaway of 100 copies of my very Black student loan industry heist book over on Goodreads.

Wow America making Civil Rights the last Generation X’er able to actually retire shouldn’t be funny but it is

Happy: Black history Black present Black future Black love Black joy Black health Black healing Black people Black community Black family Black kids Black culture Black creativity Black ingenuity Black legacy Black innovation Black liberation Black resistance Black existence ...month🖤

If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts

WELCOME TO BLACK HISTORY MONTH

When something is a success, people like to associate themselves with it. So it's noticeable how quiet the Brexiters are. inews.co.uk/opinion/brex...

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Voters back Brexit reset - and want Starmer to go further BMG Research poll for the ipaper finds 57% of public supports a UK-EU youth mobility scheme with only 14% opposed inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Here's Philp telling the country that we need a better work ethic. What he really meant is work harder for less, so the rich can get richer! And it was his party who froze the personal tax allowances, innit. #ukpolitics

Brexit five years on: A triumph of lies iandunt.substack.com/p/brexit-fiv...

To those saying “It’s not the Brexit I voted for”, you voted for an impossible fantasy, sold to you by grifting gobshites with no interest in reality or what was actually possible. You got exactly what you voted for.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

TikTok took it down, so let’s share the shit out of this reading list. #HolocaustRemembranceDay #NeverAgainIsNow #BookSky #StateMediaCensorship

'Champagne fascist' sums it up: politicians like Farage or Tice pretend to fight the establishment while living lavishly. They're no different from the elites they criticise, just wrapped in nationalist bluster, hoping no one catches on. Read more 👇

It's not wild out of pocket leftism to point out that at the second week of Whatever we in we have had no strong statements on our commitments to immigration / safety/accessibility from Dems that's just fact you aren't automatically radical for noticing

Laura Kuenssberg: “What’s your evidence in this case that his crimes were anything to do with a lack of integration?” Kemi Badenoch: “That I believe is one of the elements. My evidence is my personal experience.” So no evidence, then. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/badeno...

A United States senator and a Danish lawmaker issued a joint statement hitting out at US President Donald Trump’s threats to acquire Greenland.

“Brexit continues to haunt us. It’s posing real economic problems. The govt doesn’t like the equilibrium we’ve reached but is unwilling to do much about it…the EU feels little pressure to change the status quo” What a tedious, costly, bandwidth-consuming mess. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“The dream of technology is now under the control of men who are vain, foolish, self-centred, amoral, desperate for power, and in some cases openly fascistic” @iandunt.bsky.social iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-res...

I suspect the very worst thing you could do to Kemi Badenoch, from Kemi Badenoch’s point of view, is feel sorry for her. But there is no uncontroversial answer to the (stupid) question about your favourite Beatles song.

Were you ghosted... or did you do that trick of having someone try to give you your space and you flipped it on them that they had to reach out to justify that the only way they could come back would be inherently debasing to them/ their value

Some fun fact from yesterday's council by elections: Reform UK fail in both council by-elections yesterday. Reform UK have won just 7 council seats from 179 by-elections since the General Election. They have just 53 out of 20k councillors across the UK. #ukpolitics
