Analysis of the English local elections by Sir John Curtice: “support for Reform averaged 43% in wards where more than half of adults have few, if any, educational qualifications. In contrast, it polled just 19% where more than two in five have a degree.”

100 days on from Trump's inauguration, and following last night's results in Canada, one thing is clear: Licking his boots has consequences. Watch out Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch

It’s not that difficult a choice.

Hearing Tories and others bleating on about the danger or risk to our ‘Brexit freedoms’ just makes them sound utterly delusional. The country has moved on, it was a fuck up, it failed. The world can see it. The Tories lead to INCREASED immigration, these are the facts.

Public services belong in public hands. Repost if you agree.

It’s all a matter of angles. And from this angle, it makes total sense. 🇨🇦🇬🇱🇮🇸🇬🇧🇳🇴—-> 🇪🇺 🙌

In 1649, following the trail & execution of the king, parliament abolished the House of Lords declaring it to be "useless and dangerous to the people of England", Today in 2025, Michael Gove was given a peerage. Just saying ...

This is where Brexit has brought us. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

The UK exports £360bn of goods to the EU, on which we now struggle with big non tariff barriers, compared to £60bn to the US. Imagine looking at this sh1tshow and thinking it vindicates Brexit in any way.

Actually enjoyed M&S gluten free pizza. Will add a little extra topping next time but can recommend

British PM Starmer hugged Zelenskyy. That’s how bad U.S. foreign policy has gotten—it’s driving the Brits to physical displays of emotion.

Politics is about whose side you’re on. Kemi Badenoch has just shown she is on the side of JD Vance rather than our brave armed forces and the families who’ve lost loved ones in conflicts over the past 40 years.

Tories must feel so glad to have the JD Vance-whisperer as their leader. So, when the rest of us hear him insulting us, Badenoch tells us he didn’t say what he said at all. And goes on to sneer at us for minding being insulted. Chef’s kiss of obnoxiousness from that clueless clown.

Don’t be tidying up too early 🪴

As we welcome the news that the UK will support Ukraine with a £2.26bn loan… Here’s your reminder that the Conservatives wasted £9.9bn on unusable or defective PPE Never forget their staggering corruption and incompetence.

President Zelensky will meet King Charles at Sandringham tomorrow. A spokesman for the King said the purpose of the meeting was "to annoy the fuck out of that dreadful orange shithead"

Screw those traitors in the White House.
