If you're voting in local elections today, don't forget your photo id and please don't draw a cock and balls on the ballot paper, they have a habit of being voted in!

Can you imagine if all Rap acts were investigated for saying offensive words? I’m not condoning words said, if they were, but cancel culture sucks, especially when politicians get involved. I’d never heard of Kneecap before, but will be listening to Fine Art on repeat, to cancel “cancel culture”.

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

It's as if the US has watched Brexit and decided to do similar, but in HD.

Shameful. The fact I campaigned for Labour has forced me into a state of depression.

Notice Reeves hasn’t balanced any books freezing/limiting/removing MP salary’s, expenses, or parliamentary subsidies. They’d manage ok; sadly donors would still buy rights to THEIR MP. But targeting the UK’s sick/disabled to prove accounting talent…unacceptable.

So tax breaks for tech bosses and welfare cuts for the disabled

Brexit a key factor in worst UK medicine shortages. Crucial drugs not available. Bureaucracy a barrier to exports too. Domestic production of medicines not increased. Must revive the 2019 Labour manifesto pledge for the state led production of generic drugs. Rejoin the EU.

Living standards for all UK families set to fall by 2030, those on the lowest incomes declining twice as fast as middle and high earners. Poorest in UK already worse off than poorest in Malta. Govts appease corporations and the rich. Must end neoliberal policies. Redistribute. Tax the rich.

Is Rachel Reeves up to the job? I wonder how many other Labour members are asking this.

It's almost as if a gibbering degenerate President with zero understanding of markets or respect for the rule of law who is engaged in moronic tariff wars and a wholesale betrayal of our alliances is bad for the market. Strange how that happens.

Donald Trump just said “no other country in the world has ‘mail-in voting,’ no other country”. Is that because we (🇬🇧) call it a postal vote? Poor DoneOld Trump, another steaming pile of BS, exploding out his face… 🍊🤡💩

Jeez. CNN reporting Musk’s STARLINK gets contract to upgrade FAA network! Conflict of interest?? How can this be legal??

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Priceless.

This is the only way the numbers make sense.

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

🚨Elon Musk just helped the far-right in 🇩🇪 win their best result since WW2 then called them to say congrats. So don’t buy his f*ing cars, yeah? #dontbuyaswasticar From @everyonehateselon_

Shortly after insisting she believes in a "rules based" global order, Kemi Badenoch then says the UK will "probably have to leave" the ECHR and says the Conservatives will now "work on" a policy of doing so

Kemi Badenoch is so boring. Her delivery’s like a terrible lecture, from a hopeless tutor, with tones so grating & patronising, they fail to have any positive impact. It took many, many years, but thanks to Kemi, I may have finally discovered the cure for insomnia! If only it wasn’t so painful 😣

I wonder if the farmers blocking streets in Westminster will be sent to prison… Or is that over reaction reserved for climate protesters?

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you

Couldn't resist reclassifying this book....

I just saw a Tory life-peer on SkyNews worry about his life of handouts being revoked, with his inherited position in the HoL. He said something along the lines of “in the US they really respect the indigenous tribal cultures…” What a justification to attempt, from your oppression-free castle!

Morning all, I wonder which country will have a constitutional crisis today? Its hard to keep up!

I just had to......🤣🤣🤣🤣

Massive Brexiter says what now?

ICYMI, Pete Hegseth attends a church that belongs to the CREC (Communion of Reformed Evangelicals Churches). CREC is the denomination co-founded by Idaho pastor Doug Wilson, a self-professed Christian Nationalist. Here are some Doug Wilson quotes. h/t @edwam.bsky.social 1/

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam. There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality. It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

TRUE

This should be a position with a lot to do, and little time to waste: Covid Corruption Commissioner (is going to be busy)! I hope they will be a great success. No room for failure with this one.
