US aggression versus EU membership: The UK must choose stability over Trump’s chaos 👏👏👏

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract. Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal. Here’s how they got it completely wrong. 👇👇

In just 130 days, Elon... -Secured even more contracts -Derailed at least 40 fed investigations of his corporations -Gutted agencies that regulate his business -Installed loyalists throughout the government Elon has fallen out with Trump, but he got exactly what he wanted.

Zing!

Post the Epstein tweet, Trump has stopped poking the bear. There’ll be a reason for that and it won’t be diplomatic restraint. What else does Elon know?

While Reform has a mini meltdown and Musk/Trump tear chunks out of each other, maybe media could start scrutinising these grifting tossers who do nothing but harm and call it patriotism. They don’t even know how to behave, let alone decide policy. Time to start binning off these foghorns of failure.

While Labour is getting on with the job (investing £15bn in transport, extending free school meals, improving pension funds, strengthening our defences - all just this week), what are the Tories doing? Exploring ways to take away our rights and protections! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good letter in The Times from @enversol.bsky.social A refreshing antidote to the bile and ignorance of doomed and dangerous Tory/Reform anti-immigrant ideology. A reminder of the importance of cooperation and humanity.

Elon Musk's immigration status passed to an ICE team in 10... 9... 8... 7...

Fabulous analogy 👏🏻

No surprise Sheanderthal didn't know what was in the Bill. She can't read.

Trump and Musk were never friends. Trump needed Musk to fix his election; Musk needed Trump to make the federal investigations go away. Both faced jail if not. Now Musk wants to save the Tossla stock price. Everything else is leveraged on those shares. Shit gonna happen.

We’ve gone from 25% steel tariffs, to 0%, up to 50%, and now back to 25%. We’ve all seen this routine before. Trump causes chaos, Nigel nods along, and British workers pay the price. It’s time the government got serious about trade with our European and Commonwealth allies.

This is pretty amazing. A new study with robust clinical trial data shows regular exercise can improve survival rates for colorectal cancer patients. Colorectal cancer will become the leading cause of cancer death among adults ages 20 to 49 by 2030.

Oh the (lack of) joy of living in a 51-49% world, constantly balancing precariously between liberalism and illiberalism. One day, hopefully, there will be a decisive shift back towards liberalism. Perhaps.

Failed pandemic-era PPE contracts cost the British taxpayer £1.4billion. The Covid counter-fraud commissioner uncovered the figure in the first phase of his probe into wasteful Tory spending during the pandemic www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

“Controls were due to come into force on 1 July… amid warnings checks could add to inflation, damage food supply and put companies out of business because Britain imports nearly 80% of its fruit and vegetables from the EU” And the Tories, who had *no plan* for this, wail about ‘betrayal’. (The i)

This is happening RIGHT NOW... Ukraine launching massive drone attack. I will be talking with Caolan (in Ukraine) on my TikTok LIVE in 10 mins about this. Join us there. Come find me on TikTok.

🧵1/ Farage: The Russia Links. With a pint in one hand and Putin’s dick in the other, Farage has built a legacy on Russian propaganda and a trail of bullshit faker than his tan. He might be popular, but Ted Bundy was a hit with the ladies and look at how that ended. Strap in 👇🏼

A voice from 1950s with striking relevance today 👇🏻

Our politics has become deeply unserious. Flags and gimmicks and stupid video clips and social media clickbait and lies. With very little serious challenge to counter the nonsense and the dishonesty. The consequences for our country and our democracy are dire. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/robert-jen...

Farage was propelled to public prominence by Russian TV. The Kremlin would have had to authorise such coverage, meaning Russia saw Farage as a useful tool. Leave EU officials visited the Russian embassy 11 times. Farage & Arron Banks have repeatedly shilled for Russia. Brexit was a Russian triumph

Very exciting, Exeter Comedy Festival starts this week. Some of the bigger acts have sold out but there are still plenty of tickets available for all sorts of amazing people. Prices are very good value so it’s maybe worth taking a punt on someone you don’t know. www.exetercomedyfestival.com

And we have Reform loons like the pea-brained Andrea Jenkyns threatening DOGE-style cuts to local govt…. Would be good to heed the warnings this time, rather than cheer on the ruinous idiocy of their dangerously clueless, vindictive resentments. prospect.org/power/2025-0...

“Trump squandering $45 million in taxpayer dollars on a military parade for his birthday is the epitome of government waste,” said @blumenthal.senate.gov

While Robert Jenrick MP spends his days wandering about the underground tackling fare dodgers and going on about the capital for clicks... his constituency has a genuine problem. ● Newark crime rate: 123 crimes per 1,000 ● London 105.8 per 1,000 But you know... "Sadiq"

Whoever made this deserves a medal.

Every time Trump issues a new two-week deadline for Putin “to prove he’s serious” he looks weaker and weaker. Trump’s deadline just marches on ahead while Putin is laughing and slaughtering civilians.

This is corruption by an elected official on a scale never yet seen. How can so many Americans think that this can be right? It tells me that we should have nothing to do with the US until it returns to sanity and to the rule of law. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Memo to Farage - maybe not such a great time to cancel all investment in policies to reduce our vulnerability to climate breakdown …

Trump's DOJ has granted Boeing a non-prosecution agreement over the 737 MAX crashes, despite the company's repeated attempts to deceive regulators.  Boeing donated $1M to Trump's inauguration and has paid AG Pam Bondi's former lobbying firm at least $480K. Follow the money.

Now is the most important moment in decades for government to back policing after years of underinvestment, write six of Britain’s most senior police chiefs www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/art...

Judiciary fighting back & why ‘resist’ is so important

For those who claim Connelly is a political prisoner, framed for speaking her mind. Unsurprisingly, the sentence is entirely justified, and bear in mind that she pleaded guilty and did not risk a trial.
