The sun is shining. The birds are singing. Le Pen's career is coming crashing down around her as a result of her brazen corruption. It's a good day.

Ahead of the May local elections & Runcorn by-election, we need to remind anyone considering voting Reform: A vote for Farage is a vote for Trump. A vote for Farage is a vote for Musk. Vote Farage... If you want to kiss Trump's arse. Feel free to 'flood the zone' with these images.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

‘Kin hell, Keir… is there any need to demonise refugees more than they already have been! Go about your business, if you must (there will be facts and figures for you to tell the country what you have ‘achieved’), but leave the sensationalising videos to the bad guys, eh?

This is, by some distance, the most unforgivably stupidest thing the government is doing. An easily sellable proposal, which would actually help Brits, and unlocks meaningful negotiation. Irrational and anti-growth.

Not sure our American cousins will get the reference - the John Cleese/Ronnie Barker/Ronnie Corbett classic class system sketch - but it's extremely appropriate for the current oligarchic system in the States.

One thing I am absolutely loving on #Bluesky is all the support for libraries and their critical role in keeping our society free and educated. I was raised in a family of librarians and have served on the Board of our local Friends group for 6 years. It warms my heart to see library love.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
