Canada is not the problem

You know what? The EU & UK should put tariffs on US goods (from red states) in solidarity with Canada and Mexico. Rather than watching others get bullied and waiting our turn - we should unify against this bullying until the bully drops that behaviour.

If God saved Trump from the bullet, who put the shooter on the roof? I've never understood this.

The billionaires lining up to plunder America, and the whole world if they have their way.

UK’s newest warrior against grooming gangs

I have deleted my X/Twitter account. I urge others to do the same. It can no longer pretend to be anything other than a danger and harm to our democracy. My full statement is below:

I think I just came.

Leader of the free world ...

Merry Xmas to all! And wishing for a peaceful and happy New Year too. 🎅🎄🥂🎁🍻❤️

Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you're warm and happy, if not, don't be afraid to reach out, either to friends or family or strangers or Samaritans (116 123) there will be people there for you. 🎄

The irony meter is permanently broken now.

Richard Tice, whose Reform Party may be about to be funded by Elon Musk, condemning interference in British politics by foreign billionaires

Never trust the general public to make important decisions.

Your regular reminder that Hartley-Brewer choses the life of a serial tax fraud, alleged rapist and human trafficker Every. Single. Time......

New Christmas lights just went up in Clacton. (Farage is still the MP who makes most money from second jobs. By a long way.)

'work with a guy who was unemployed.' 🤣

maybe if that person who milkshaked Farage had just kicked him repeatedly he’d be happier

Dear Nigel: a) you weren't an MP when this happened b) sentencing reflects factors like the severity of injuries caused - ie none c) it was a MILKSHAKE you big cry-baby

Jeremy Vine commenting on the Jacob Rees-Mogg reality show, "It's brilliant, isn't it" Marina Purkiss, "No it's not.. I'm so sick of the media, whether it's that, or I'm a Celeb, sanitising people who harmed the country" Well said 👏

Huge thanks to everyone who’s chipped in to make LBD interventions happen this year. We’re 100% funded by small donations & refuse big donors to protect us from becoming reliant on any individual source. Wanna help? Link in bio👆

Just told my girlfriend, "I usually only eat the vowels in alphabeti spaghetti." "Why?" "Sometimes." 🐢💨

The older I get, the more I wonder at those who capture the blunt, angry numbness of grief. Not just the sorrow; the emptiness, the rage. The tiring, tedious business of running on the spot. I wish Brian comfort, and only hope he knows how many people his words will reach, and help.

The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it?

LEFT: Elon Musk being evil—and potentially changing the hearts and minds (and votes) of millions of Americans RIGHT: A Google search that took 3 seconds* *That's not an exaggeration; the process of arriving at data exactly the opposite of what Musk presented as hard fact took me exactly 3 seconds

They're eating the frogs, they're eating the crêpes, they're eating the pâtés of the chefs that cook there.

From the same hypocrites preaching to others for years not to be "the elite" always "sneering and insulting" people's views just because they disagree, and to respect democracy. But also "I WENT TO THE BEST UNIBOBS, OIK!, AND ALSO I DEMAND ANOTHER GENNYLEC! YAH?" Fk'em @marina-purkiss.bsky.social.

The Christmas Tory 😂

This poll about another EU referendum isn't going quite the way the Daily Express thought at the moment.

I think Starmer would be this way regardless of media double standards re politicians’ behaviour. It’s who he is & the restoration of trust is, for him, a matter of national interest. You have to hope it also crystallises into a real reputation for probity & integrity. But it’s far from guaranteed.

FWIW, I agree it's unfair and ridiculous. But we've seen how media behave to this gov't. We know this would turn into a month-long Kay Burley jamboree. And so does Lou. I know it *feels* outrageous, but it's what actually used to happen before Tories broke everything. Quick resign, quick return.

Ben Habib has quit Reform just as Angela Jenkyns joined. So the moron quotient of Reform remains unchanged.

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards." Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

nobody does more brutal fashion reviews than the irish

The UK is spending £369m refurbishing Buckingham Palace for King Charles, who has £22bn and gets £500m more a year. He can pay for his own renovations, £369m is more than England spends on building Social Housing in an entire year for the whole country.

Reckon we can get those numbers higher though ..

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Bet you watch it twice ....😂

Show me any organisation where the staff don't claim expenses for important work-related subscriptions. This is so stupid. Has "journalism" (and I use the word advisedly in this case) completely given up on being a serious profession?

Express poll needs more input. Link takes you directly to the poll, bypassing the Express website, so you won't boost their ad impressions. (Note: ignore the bit where they ask for your email address. It's optional.) xd.wayin.com/display/cont...
