We may have left the EU in 2016 after lies, misinformation, and promises of prosperity that have not materialised Luckily for us, the EU isn't that far away, it's just next door Anyone else want the UK 🇬🇧 to rejoin the EU 🇪🇺 ?

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

The government of the USA is openly racketeering. And that is not even the worst thing about them. ‘Owning the libs’ is doing a heck of a lot of heavy lifting right now…

Watching people who used to bleat about accusations of racism choose between being blatantly racist or clutching their pearls at all the blatant racism they enabled is not as much fun as you might think. (See also Donald Trump & fascism.)

think what grates most about Fraser Nelson's "a dramatic shift? of MY Overton window?" shtick is that those of us who kept talking about the Spectator's dangerous slide to the right were treated as hysterical, not able to see the humour in shock jocks, etc etc, when we were just clearly right!

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social US. Peter Hegseth was barred from serving on duty at the inauguration of Joe Biden after a guardsman flagged Hegseth as an "insider threat", noting a tattoo on his bicep of the words Deus vult. Which is alt-right white supremacist groups slogan.

Wise man…

💚 We have an exciting event on Monday with Caroline Lucas, former leader of @greenparty.org.uk ! 🖊️ She be chatting to us about her experience & signing copies of her book ‘Another England’ 🤩 Details👇 ukandeu.ac.uk/events/unloc...

This is good and not so good news: 1. Glad for the young people who can enjoy it. Even if it isn't full free movement. 2. Why can't everyone have free movement anyway? 3. Starmer had to be dragged to this mini-step kicking and screaming. 4. Labour are desperate to NOT have it called free movement. 🙄

This is beyond fucking despicable. Threatening to shut off Starlink to Ukraine, a raped pillaged country (invaded by a dictator that this headcase and his bitch president refuses to condemn) unless they give up their natural resources is the most grim act of coercion I’ve seen.

Amen to that.

Thought for the day.

Nigel Farage Is a 'Political Fraud' Who Must Be Exposed as an 'NHS-Privatising Putin Apologist', Says TUC Leader – Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2025/02/05/n...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

He nails it.

The 'find out' phase is here.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

This is not what he said and they know it. Something very disturbing has happened to much of the British press and a fair amount of conservative politics. The extremist Musk tail wagging the formerly mainstream dog.

This is why we need independent media outlets funded by the public. Our Byline Times story is still available to read despite attempts to suppress it.

NEW NEW NEW: American Gangster - Trump's First Month with @peterjukes.bsky.social @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social Intro by @goldbergradio.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social podfollow.com/1747192337/e...

Recently renewed my @bylinetimes.bsky.social subscription. Supporting their journalism feels like a small thing I can do in the face of the current shitstorm. Between this and the #6Nations, that's my weekend sorted

Fearless and independent investigative journalism is needed more than ever in these times. Attempts to suppress this story on Trump and the KGB demonstrate this ⬇️ To help fund the stories you won't read in the established press, and to keep honesty alive, subscribe: subscribe.bylinetimes.com

In case anyone is still uncertain whether Trump and Musk are allied to Putin — @bylinetimes.bsky.social has been covering the Trump alliance for six years, and we cottoned onto Musk quite quickly

Welcome to Citizens Re-United, your vanguard for advice on tech and democracy. The President has lost it. Elon and his band of bro-grammers want everyone’s data. And the old platforms for resistance have broken down by design. dispatch.the-citizens.com/elon-call-yo...

These guys are getting way too comfortable.

Brilliant simple clear explainer by @sheridanflynn.bsky.social of the threat Russia poses to Britain youtu.be/M7O4Eh3Roe8?...

Fantastic, sold out 2073.film screening and Q&A last night at the legendary Prince Charles with @carolecadwalla.bsky.social @peterjukes.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social More special events & screenings to come. The hope comes from community.

IT IS A COUP. In the few days since @carolecadwalla.bsky.social wrote this terrifying article, Trump and Musk have loudly displayed their allegiance to Putin. They are rapidly turning the USA into a Putinist dictatorship. broligarchy.substack.com/p/it-is-a-co...

NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next. I urge you to read my 20 lessons in How to Survive the Broligarchy, inspired by & featuring the great @timothysnyder.bsky.social 1/ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
