A Trump shill on Newsnight claims there are more people in prison in UK jails for freedom of speech violations than in Putin’s Russia. These people are radicalised, insane, plain stupid or some combination of all three.

Anyone flying to the US soon?

...they're eating the protections for the people who live there.

"You're not the President you need to go away." Priceless 🤣

No it's you Nigel Farage, and scum like you who argue being British is to be bootlicking racist morons.

Who fucking buys the Telegraph? Seriously, who buys a broadsheet to suck up this shit?

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

Ugh. Farage on #r4today to comment on Starmer attending the EU summit. An explosion of prejudiced bilge. The usual crap about needing a “proper” Brexit and a US trade deal. He talks of “submission” and “humiliation” but would be very happy to sell us out to Trump. The man is such a fucking bore.

General Manager of Sicilian Motorways Consortium, who supports the Messina Strait bridge project, says Sicilian motorways may not be able to cope with the construction traffic. He is sacked by the President of the Sicilian Region. Believing is not enough. You have to believe without question.

George Monbiot sums up the BBC perfectly.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

It's a tragedy.

That asshole is blaming Canada when he released the biggest fentanyl dealer in America last week? Put me in, coach.

Goodwin spreading misinformation over on the other place again. Same old debunked rubbish. Foreign born & British nationals are presented here as two different groups. Obviously they are not. I am a foreign born British national. So is Boris Johnson. But it makes a nice dog whistle.

Good response in The Times to brexity Melanie Philips’ vacuous nonsense about “democracy” and “independence” (in reality… dogmatism and isolation) mattering more than *actual* benefits or Brexit advantages she can’t identify… (but, of course, that’s someone else’s fault anyway). Yawn.

Absolutely spot on. The virus runs deep and will take decades to be fully eradicated.

Fact-check..

Trump has pulled the security of former government officials we know are under threat simply because he doesn't like them. And he's done it at the same time as released a load of very angry, very violent, likely highly armed individuals who are loyal to him. It is dark stuff.

Trump's racist idiot supporters are trying to deport Native Americans again.

Up until 1979 all hurricanes were named after women - and it led to very predictable "Anchorman" like sexism - about the storms "changing their minds constantly" and worse Then an activist called Roxcy Bolton started popularising the term "himmicane" - much to the distress of misogynists everywhere

Stewart Lee has it “We can’t let Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos reshape our reality, and have to encourage every friend, relative, celebrity and institution to disconnect from them.” Shut them down www.theguardian.com/media/2025/j...

Congrats to The Democrats for handing the presidency to a rapist. You had 300 million people to choose from, and you couldn't find someone to beat a pussy-grabbing racist. Well done! #InaugurationDay

William Keegan in today’s Observer telling it like it is.

Patronising the poor, arriving at a food-bank in a helicopter, lecturing everyone on the environment, being a weapons grade parasite extracting money from public services & charities to enrich themselves. That’s just a few of their own goals & I haven’t even mentioned the Nonce of York. #NotMyKing

Nothing says 'the continued relevance of monarchy' quite like a billionaire, English, unelected king, dressed up as a Scottish laird, turning up at a food bank in a helicopter

If you’re upset about Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, wait until I tell you about the time Donald Trump refused to accept the results of the election he lost, plotted a coup & incited an insurrection before deciding not to attend Joe Biden’s.

Jurgen Klopp "Never vote for the Right."

Now that Covid is no longer in the public eye, the Antivax brain donors are claiming smart meters are causing the fires. As a species, we're f*cking doomed.

A remarkable listen. Andrew Norfolk carefully, softly, devastatingly sets out all the context you need to understand the current discourse. He is balanced, sensitive and doesn't shy away from identifying the failings and those that have been failed. A stark contrast to other voices.

That mad cunt is talking about invading Britain. And the right wing press, who spent the last few years banging on about their love of sovereignty, seems entirely indifferent.

ah, cultural differences

Oh sweet, sweet Gods of schadenfreude. What mighty gifts you have bestowed upon us.

Jenrick’s repulsively racist post and Truss’s post below (both gone viral on X) are where the prejudice of a disastrous Brexit have led us. To a Tory party radicalised by its own failure, thinking hatred and vicious nationalism are the key to power. With Farage mopping up their voters anyway.

When you break from the herd, as we did with Brexit, you become vulnerable. It’s no surprise that Musk has targeted us as a punch bag. Or that the vicious clowns who fetishised ‘sovereignty’ and ‘control’ are brown-nosing him now. ‘Make Britain great again’. Christ, you stupid traitorous bastards.

An associate of Ghislaine Maxwell (trafficked girls for rape), with P Diddy as a friend (rape & trafficking charges), who’s aligned with Tate (rape & sex trafficking charges) and who supported Trump (a rapist) is pretending to be outraged about grooming gangs. Wonder if he’s about to “find Jesus”…

Well, that's news to us in Italy. Where exactly does she think this land border is? Trieste? Como? Ventimiglia?

“Thwarted” by “opinion-formers” “They [the Blob] were in a more powerful position than I was. It wasn’t a democratic outcome and I don’t believe it was an outcome that was in the interest of the people of Britain” says noisily deflating Tory balloon-head who grenaded the economy. Howlingly mad.

At dawn on 28 December 1943, the 7 Cervi brothers, Gelindo (42), Antenore (37), Aldo (34), Ferdinando (32), Agostino (27), Ovidio (25) & Ettore (22), are executed by an Italian fascist firing squad in Reggio Emilia for their partisan activities [Thread] >> 1

There are more than 10m children in school in the UK…but, per Times, 3,000 might move to state sector because of VAT rise…so Whitehall is “braced” 😲😲😲 Says a lot about UK media bubble, the way this story is reported. You pay VAT on luxuries. Private schooling is that.

"the damaged aircraft was not allowed to land at any Russian airports despite the pilots’ requests for an emergency landing, and it was ordered to fly across the Caspian Sea" "the plane’s GPS navigation systems were jammed throughout the flight path above the sea" There are no words

"And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space Cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth."
