There’s always a tweet with these folks.

Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

2025: Keir Starmer suggests that pressure on housing and public services is because of migrants 2020: Keir Starmer, "Poor housing, poor public services are not the fault of the migrants, they're political failure"

Wtf is happening 😳 😡

Simply this.

We cannot expound on these “circumstances”. The fact that our Island has recently acquired two F/A-18s is most certainly a coincidence.

Hey British media, It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning. Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

Don’t let a man who is hardly at his own desk make you an absent parent or carer. Flexible working means more people can balance caring and career commitments - research consistently shows it makes a workforce happier, healthier and crucially there’s no loss of productivity. Our future. Not his.

This may be the most obscene thing this man has ever done on social media It’s offensive at a level I’m struggling to articulate, but we can start with the fact that he’s again framing himself as God’s chosen representative on Earth when he is, remember, a _serial sexual predator_

All Of This! Thank You, Jasmine!😊💙

Coming soon: Labour responds to the failure of its Nigel Farage tribute act by trying even harder to be a Nigel Farage tribute act whilst closing its eyes to the evidence of where that path led the Tories.

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.

Why the fuck are people voting for Reform? A party that wants to strip away rights, privatise the NHS, and run the country like a business for the rich. If you’re LGBTQ+, disabled, an immigrant, or working class they are coming for YOU. What is wrong with people?

On his knees again

80 years ago on this day, Adolf Hitler shot himself. Never give up hope.

America is gonna lose their minds

Isn’t that the first thing you learn in Yale Law?

DOJ personnel don’t comment on anything beyond the four corners of a charging document in order to avoid prejudicing a defendant’s rights. Here’s the policy. The Attorney General of the United States violated it yesterday.

Jeezo

Maybe we shouldn't take health advice from heroin addicts who live off road kill and starve brain worms. Just a thought.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Nigel Farage has said Reform UK will have a Minister for Deportations. He added that they would also have a Minister for Dog Whistling, a Secretary of State For Shit Stirring and a Department of Complete Bollocks.

An emboldened far right in our politics and communities is a danger to our democracy. The trade union movement will step up. We need politicians to do so too.

Who would've thought it. Trump won't pay, American families will

When there’s an economic emergency, a climate energy, or a security emergency, our leaders take immediate action. The child poverty emergency has been with us for some time now, yet action seems further away than ever.

Morning Bluesky! Have you cancelled a planned trip or move – holiday, work, short-term or long-term – to the USA? Fancy chatting to me about for a piece? @ me or DM if so, especially if you’re located in the UK. (RTs much appreciated too).

In fairness, who could have predicted that the alcoholic, violent, chauvinist, walking middle-age crisis, bin-fire of a frat guy, with absolutely zero experience of running any sort of organisation would turn out to be a bad choice? No, wait. Everyone. Everyone predicted it.

Trump is too weak to fire Hegseth. Trump is too weak to fire Hegseth. Trump is too weak to fire Hegseth. Trump is too weak to fire Hegseth. Trump is too weak to fire Hegseth. Trump is too weak to fire Hegseth. Trump is too weak to fire Hegseth. Trump is too weak to fire Hegseth. Trump is too weak...

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

Putin has declared an Easter truce. Any media outlet that takes it at face value isn’t worth their salt.

Shut down the youth clubs. Sell off the playing fields. Put up "no ball games" signs. Make public places hostile to teenagers. Then: "Young people, eh? Always indoors looking at their phones."

What RFK Jr. said was reprehensible. He should be ashamed of himself and step down.

Weak and cowardly decision.

Least shocking story of the day.
