Living through an era of political madness in a country intent on self destruction in the name of small mindedness and empty nationalism. Oh and the big orange Trumpa Lumpa is President of the USA again! 🤪 #FBPE

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

So, if we call it “youth opportunity scheme” instead of “youth mobility scheme”, then Brexiters might not have a wettie about it and govt can relax. Honest to god. When did we get so petty and pathetic? Oh yes. 2016. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Right now there are swathes of decent Americans who are furious with how Trump and his cronies are enriching themselves by manipulating the stock market. Don’t worry because one day the corrupt regime will fall, law will again prevail and there will be arrests. Following orders is not a defence.

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

Make it make sense

MTG is the dumbest person on the planet.. except when it comes to the stock market? 🤔

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

‘Fawning’ is a response where a person gives a servile display of exaggerated flattery in order to gain favor or advantage. AKA: ass-kisser, bootlicker, toady, suck-up brown-noser, etc.

We’ve had enough of the Brexit failure, we really don’t trust Trump’s America and we want a better, more prosperous relationship with our European neighbours… “Will of the people” got us into this Brexit mess, why shouldn’t it get us out of it too? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Would have seemed inconceivable even a year ago that we could now be reading this about America.

Who saw that coming..

This story fails to mention the reason they couldn’t open the doors to save the people who died. Cybertruck doors can’t be opened from the outside when the electrical isn’t working, like when they’re on fire.

One billion percent tariffs.

The great climbdown continues.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

👏

This is why people hate Washington. The President is bragging about his buddies' investments while people see their retirements go down the drain.

Nigel Farage paid ÂŁ40,000 by firm that helps super rich cut tax bills www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Jeez. A clip has emerged of Donald Trump in the Oval Office discussing how people made money in the recent market fluctuations as a result of his tariffs. "He made two-and-a-half billion today, and he made nine hundred million, that's not bad!"

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

MTG dabbling in insider trading now too

Nigel Farage paid £40,000 by firm that helps super rich cut tax bills. Nomad Capitalist helps people obtain second residencies and citizenships, urging its clients to ‘go where you’re treated best’ Farage is a traitor. #Vote4Democracy in the local elections. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

Prediction: Today (4/9/25) registered the greatest ill gotten gains from insider trading in history.

Dear @maitlis.bsky.social @lewisgoodall.com @jonsopel1.bsky.social @newsagents.bsky.social There is one bin-focused politician in Birmingham…

Hey, Reform Party Supporters over 65 .... (Which is most of them) Farage is coming for your Pension.

As Liz Truss becomes increasingly less relevant, her desperation to be relevant gets more and more embarrassing. Listening to this interview highlights that she has now been completely ‘lettuce washed’ by hard right plop and is barely functioning as a human. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

As the dopey orange felon continues to rattle the sabre with with China, he would do well to remember that China holds around $750 billion in U.S. Treasury securities. If they decide to sell these holdings then that could lead to higher interest rates and further damage to a now unstable economy.

Starmer has said, "Nobody wins from a trade war". So why is he clinging to Brexit, which is basically a trade war fought against ourselves? Starmer clearly thinks he should pander to the far-right. Look where that got the Tories. Legitimising the fascist message boosts support for the fascists.

Foolish enough to buy one of these ‘skips on wheels’? Even Tesla now refuse to take them back in part exchange and naturally other car dealers are very keen to avoid them and offer terrible part exchange prices. Buy an expensive dustbin (trash can) and you will be stuck with it.

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well? GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available WARNER: We have a trade surplus!

Left: Ed Davey calls for the UK to join a Customs Union with the EU Right: No 10 confirms that Keir Starmer and Labour are not builders, they're blockers, as they're rejecting a Customs Union with the EU

Keir Starmer, "My priority — my only priority — is the people of Britain, and what makes them better off" So why is Labour keeping the UK outside of EU Single Market?

Starmer has said, "Nobody wins from a trade war". So why is he clinging to Brexit, which is basically a trade war fought against ourselves?

Pensioners in the USA realising that having voted for Trump, he’s now destroying their pension pots. Are UK pensioners clever enough to realise that a vote for Reform UK offers a mirror image of what is happening in America right now? Wake up, or we all pay the consequences for Oligarchy.

This reminds me of Brexit and “blue passports”

👏

"She is in the pay of the climate deniers in Tufton Street." @greenjennyjones.bsky.social calls out Kemi Badenoch's abandonment of Net Zero policies immediately after receiving donations from climate science deniers.

Please don't reward Putin's tool Farage by abstaining in the local elections. If you're angry with Labour then there are the LibDems and Greens. Please post your own messages supporting #Vote4Democracy in the local elections.

Just spoke with Keir Starmer and shared my concern over the impact of the US tariffs on the global economy. We also discussed security & defence and the upcoming EU-UK Summit. Read-out ↓ europa.eu/!mdYpw8

So according to Kemi Badenoch "putting our national interest first" involves cheering on a foreign government arbitrarily detaining and deporting our own country's elected MPs

Here in the UK we have GB News peddling the same lies and misinformation to the gullible. It should be shut down.

Arron Banks is standing for West of England mayor. We need to ask about his visits to the Russian embassy and his tweets parroting Russian propaganda. Who is Banks loyal to, the UK or Putin? Fight Fascism. Vote for democracy in the local elections. #Vote4Democracy
