"It is well-known that most of the mainstream media do not approach a Labour Government in a neutral way. Some blatantly misrepresent what is happening, but more often they simply do not report activity, leaving people with a sense that the government is doing nothing."

He should have never been allowed to run for office, according to Section 3 of our 14th Amendment. He, an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon, does not deserve the honor and prestige of the presidency. He deserves scorn and derision. He deserves PRISON time.

LMFAO, trump just said he's going to change the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Sounds like that stupid "Freedom Fries" idea. What a demented ass.

Trump explicitly said that he’s not ruling out military action to take Greenland. Technically, that would immediately put the US at war with the EU (as Greenland is EU overseas territory and EU have a treaty obligation for common defence). Greenland needs to get Danish/EU troops in there asap.

At the VERY LEAST, since he accomplished nothing else to hold the leaders of this accountable, Merrick Garland needs to release the damn report and stop being afraid of his own shadow. Weak people all over this Admin is part of what got us here.

Trump wants to "free Greenland from being colonised", by colonising it, turning it into a US military base and making Greenlanders a target for Russian nukes. www.bbc.com/news/article...

So, the Tory manifesto did not include an inquiry into grooming gangs and the Tories ignored ALL recommendations from the 2022 report, but they attack Starmer for smearing “those concerned” as “far right”. Which he didn’t. They’re just the most repulsive bunch of arseholes. And far right apologists.

This terribly humiliating Farage business reminds me of that ancient proverb, “He who shall insert himself too deeply into the colon of another egomaniac for self-advancement must risk being shat out at very short notice”.

This is important & necessary. I’d add only that a) It’s clear many of the political & media figures deliberately ignoring these facts are playing with the sort of fire we saw on our streets this summer & b) Laura Kuenssberg’s failure to point this out to Farage was an appalling dereliction of duty.

If you think only billionaires can control social media, You are absolutely wrong. Social media is completely dependent on its users. Think about why you do or did use FB, ThreadsTik tok or Twitter. It's because they have enough users. Take away all the "normies" and they all are worthless

This morning on UK TV, Nigel Farage defended Elon Musk's disgusting and dangerous smear campaign against our PM and Jess Philips. Farage said that he agreed with free speech. Now, Musk has tweeted that Farage doesn't have what it takes to be the leader of Reform, and calls for him to be replaced 😂

There is absolutely no doubt that Elon Musk is a Nazi and an anti-semite -- and he is the President-elect of the United States. This is beyond concerning. I beg you to re-post this so that every single American is aware of the fact that Musk is a Nazi and that his colleagues are, too.

Good Sunday Morning Moon! The 3rd quarter phase looking superb right now. I particularly like how the relief of the Caucasus Mountains in the northwest (i.e. top right) of this image stand out on the terminator (the bit between light and dark). #astronomy #astrophotography #stormhour #thephotohour

These right wing shits being awarded peerages aren’t ‘brave’, as Badenoch states. They’re playground bullies who can’t believe their luck. Promoted into power and privilege by a menacingly mad Tory party, when they’d otherwise be grubbing around in obscurity, shunned by anyone decent or thoughtful.

Musk’s X is intensifying the radicalisation of the UK right. They loudly, uncritically support Trump. Johnson compares Labour with Harold Shipman. Jenrick rushes to use the Magdeburg tragedy for political ends. They’re Musk’s useful idiots: envoys of hatred and intolerance. Incapable of integrity.

And of fucking course the media is congratulating Republicans for passing a neutered budget that stripped cancer funding for kids. No. That is like the bare minimum of their JOB. Fuck Republicans. Fuck Elon Musk. And fuck the media for still failing to cover any of them properly.

"Mandelson's intelligent & understands trade & international politics". No wonder the Trump team don't like him (neither do I to be fair but for very different reasons). #c4news
