Just watched the Blue Origin flight… sorry to cynical, but they’re not ‘astronauts’, they’re not ‘crew’, they’re ‘space tourists’… They bought tickets on the world’s most expensive cruise.

Wait… so now the single Brexit benefit claim by Brexiters - that we *only* have a 10% tariff from Trump, is applied to everyone, apart from China. (And Russia who has zero tariffs(!)) Brexiters - give your head a wobble! Sir Keir - build bridges with the EU… Faster please.

If the UK hadn’t left the EU - weakening the UK and the remaining EU - Trump wouldn’t be in a position to put tariffs in place... Brexit was classic ‘divide & conquer’ move by bad people - the conmen, not the conned. Starmer - align with the EU and fight back, Trump’s America is not our friend.

Just send this Sir Keir: “Donald, it is with regret that I must withdraw your state visit invitation. Unfortunately, your tariffs will hurt British people and businesses, so it would be inappropriate to consider such an historic 2nd state visit until such time as the matter is resolved”.

Imagine you’d been in a coma for 10 years and woken up today… then imagine opening social media or looking at the news and thinking the entire world was an April fools joke.

Can a genuine business expert/financial expert please explain Elon Musk’s deal to buy X from himself? It all sounds pretty dodgy to me.

If I accidentally messaged the wrong person I would apologise to them, rather than calling them a ‘loser’, ‘sleaze bag’ or ‘hacker’.

Trump should do a special episode of The Apprentice board room tonight… He can line up his incompetent and unqualified cabinet, shout at them for sharing war plans, and then BOOM! -

They’ll call him ‘a patriot’, pardon him, and give him a job enforcing federal firings.

I agree with JD Vance - Greenland is not doing a good job… They really should be telling him to f off much harder.

Having loved Adolescence, I just watched Boiling Point… Stephen Graham and one continuous take filming is immense! Beats the crap out of CGI!

Lads, I’ve got a great idea… let’s put Musk, Trump, Putin and Netanyahu on Space X’s rocket to Mars. How about next Wednesday? Who else shall we invite?

Bloody heck…. Adolescence on Netflix 👏👏👏 The story, the acting, the non-stop filming… Wow…. Just Wow. The best thing… just like the Post Office scandal drama, it’s actually getting people talking about these issues in real life. More of this kind of thing please @netflix.com

Tax wealth not work! They want us to believe benefit claimants and immigrants are the problem in our society - they’re not - Rampant and rising wealth inequality is. I’m so disappointed in Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer right now. Share this video with everyone! youtu.be/rAb_p5DCC3E?...
