There’s going to be a lot of hat-eating tonight. Critics will find a way to do the PM down, of course. Say he gave too much or too little. Was too fawning or not enough. They'd have done it better. Nothing will come of it. But in their black shrivelled heart they'll know Starmer played a blinder.

As America seems to be welcoming the likes of the Tates, Brand, and C. Robinson, perhaps they could also take Fox, Wooton, Grimes, and Yaxley-Lennon and have a complete set.

A former Soviet intelligence officer has claimed Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename "Krasnov" Who would have guessed www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

Woah this is kicking off #maga Trump a Russian spy?

This ⤵️ should be seen+shared by everyone in the UK! Dont believe the fcking RW-propaganda that not just KGB News but also Sky and the BBC are trying to manipulate you with🤬🤬🤬

I mean it’s sort of amazing that the incoming US President has basically said he’s going to declare war on Denmark, annex Canada and rename bits of the globe to his liking and broadcast news is just rolling with it like he’s delivered a sombre and thoughtful policy announcement. Absolute insanity.

This!

2016: Nigel Farage, "The worst case scenario, economically, is better off than where we are today" 2025: The Independent, "Five years on, the true cost of Brexit" ➡️ £27 billion drop in exports to the EU in 2022 ➡️ 15% long term hit to UK trade (OBR) ➡️ 3.6 million more migrants after Brexit

Some people in recent days have alleged a ‘cover-up’ over the grooming & rape of hundreds of young girls in predominantly northern UK towns, leading to calls for a ‘national’ public inquiry into child sexual exploitation FWIW here’s a non-exhaustive list of inquiries into #CSE in last 12 yrs…

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. Repost if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Anybody think the same as me? High Society - Grace Kelly, Celeste Holm, Frank Sinatra yes but Bing Crosby a no no no. He could have played her uncle or father not her ex-husband. How old was she supposed to be when they were first married? They must have been introduced by Epstein.

Where our taxes go. Not really wasted as the right wing press would have it.

This must surely be a joke
