Starting a war in order to divert political and diplomatic attention away from a genocide. Doesn't get much worse than this. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

If you could remove 3 humans to make the world a better place who would you choose? For me it would be Trump, Putin and Netanyahu. All 3 an absolute stain on humanity. (Yes I know there are many others). But you can only have 3!

Even if "white British" will be a minority in the UK in 40 years - so what? Seriously, so what? What is so terrible about that? Make people spell out their horrors. Make them spell out the things they are supposedly not allowed to say. Make them own it.

I’m old fashioned enough to think the BBC should be leading on what the deal is and what it means. Rather than the political claims from both sides.

Johnson put a border in the Irish Sea, sold out the fishing industry, all SMEs trading with the EU, our farmers, universities, musicians, young people, scientists, all of us… And now he sits in the mess he made throwing insults at those who are clearing up after him. What a monumental piece of shit.

Brexit hasn't been betrayed. The British people have not been betrayed. The betrayal was Brexit. Once that is the established narrative, we can all go forward together.

Trump just said Biden has stage 9 cancer. There’s no such thing. But hey, this is the same guy who said windmills cause cancer. What a fuc*ing moron.

The U.K. fishing industry - weaponised & then betrayed & then abandoned, by Johnson, Farage & the rest of them - is better off under Starmer’s deal than it was under Johnson’s. That’s not an opinion. It’s counting. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.

Today's agreement with the #EU is not a betrayal as our ever more headline hungry media is reporting, but level headed economic sense. Above all, it resets vital relations with our key trading and security partner - much needed in this evolving global landscape. Congratulations to #UK and EU.

Nick Robinson's supercilious, sneering interview style is just so unenlightening if you actually want to know anything about the issues being explored. Too much twirling in front of the mirror, too little looking through the magnifying glass.

It’s high time we restore our young people’s rights to live, work and travel freely across the EU and give young Londoners and other Brits—and their European counterparts—access to an abundance of opportunities through a UK-EU Youth Mobility scheme.

I do not understand how Kuenssberg seriously can say noone voted for rejoining a Customs Union, when clearly noone voted for leaving it at the time.

Labour might wonder why, less than a year into a new government promising “change”, people are giving up on it in droves. So let me help it out with a few clues. 1. Cutting disability benefits 2. Freezing Local Housing Allowance. 3. Maintaining the cruel, Malthusian two-child benefit cap .... 🧵

“The Liberals were wiped out, but I don’t see any potential leader among them who can say what needs to be said. And what needs to be said is: All you old white blokes who oppose marriage equality, out! All you people who deny the science of climate change, out! You are stinking up the place.” 😍

#magicweekend First try of the weekend. A classic example of the over-refereeing which is sucking the life out of the game. A clear try to Catalans. No need for Video ref but up we go for two pointless looks. 1 minute to make a decision which should have taken 5 seconds.

A stunning result (in many ways more so than anything from Reform). Yet we will hear precious little of it from the major media outlets.

Gullible idiots who voted for BREXIT on the back of ridiculous lies from UKIP & FARAGE are now going to vote for FARAGE & REFORM to clear up broken Britain, the Britain they broke. It’s beyond human comprehension that so many people are that stupid.
