More of this, please!

All I can say at this stage is… FINALLY! 💥

Trump doesn’t understand the basis of American power post-1945 at all. To him all of it is just a waste of money. Therefore America is effectively resigning as a superpower

🤷‍♀️

Not to make light of Denmark’s woes but look the world’s fattest nation is threatening the world’s supplier of Ozempic, surely we can do a deal here that doesn’t involve Greenland

Badenoch saying it was a mistake not to have a growth plan for Brexit highlights that she doesn't understand what happened. There was no growth plan that all parts of the Leave coalition could have agreed on. Winning required implying different outcomes to different people.

Interesting. Read to the end.

Regarding US oligarchs kissing the ring, “What’s the point of being so wealthy that you have “fuck you” money, if you never say, “fuck you”. - Sam Harris

Getting increasingly irritated by publications without BlueSky as a sharing option, especially if X is there. I'm trying to promote your article on a site that actually allows people to see it. Help me help you man.

We can't let British democracy turn into a plaything for overseas billionaires with short attention spans. At PMQs, I urged the Prime Minister to work with us to make sure power always sits with the voters, not wealthy foreign oligarchs.

I've never hated the Tories more in my life than I do now. Their behaviour over Musk's smears has been utterly contemptible. A mixture of unapologetic bigots and mealy mouthed cowards. The only reason not to wish for their destruction was that they were less bad than Reform but apparently not.

Get ready for more Blueskiers. Zuck’s gone Musk.

Sorry, Sue-Ellen, but I always keep the receipts.

Literally all they had to do was calmly condemn Musk’s dishonest & inciteful attack on their parliamentary colleague, Jess Phillips. And they couldn’t even manage that. Absolutely shameful.

In other news, Nigel Farage didn't bother to turn up to the debate on grooming gangs in the House of Commons just now

Racism is “moral courage” and “difficult truths” now. And thus the Tories become Reform

Farage’s refusal to condemn Musk’s outrageous statements shows total unfitness for public office. But @bbclaurak.bsky.social fails to hold him to account & allows whole interview to be on his terms. No focus on Reform’s divisive policies & no effective challenge to his dangerous insinuations

Elon Musk, who helped to whip up racist riots on the streets of Britain and is now spreading misinformation about child abuse in order to further his own political ends, is a "hero" says Nigel Farage.

It’s either Thursday or Tuesday but also might be Wednesday

This didn’t get enough media attention when it happened so I’m posting it again. The Biden’s were not only innocent, they were framed. And the GOP knew it and amplified the lie anyway.

Brilliant from @ledbydonkeys.org Merry Griftmas

£10.5 billion, the cost of paying 3.8 million Waspi women compensation which Labour won't pay £40 billion, the annual lost tax receipts from Brexit due to reduced trade as a red of Brexit red tape Brexit is the reason why the UK cannot afford to do the right thing

Oh god. The inevitable Daily Mail tantrum at a Labour govt edging towards a slightly less ruinous relationship with our own continent. What do these idiotic nationalists want? Permanent hostility? Endless cost and loss? ‘Betraying’ Brexit is an act of patriotic necessity now, you howling clowns.

That there London!

💥Our scandalous spending tracker is back in the news!💥 The £131 billion wasted by the Tories since 2019 could have: - Funded £28bn a year of green projects - Kept the winter fuel allowance - Nationalised UK energy supply - Lifted the 2-child benefit cap until 2063 www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

Trying to increase disposable income without making trade easier is like driving with the handbrake on. Any effort must start with making trade easier with the EU. Starmer's reset of the relationship can't come soon enough for businesses and consumers. ~AA www.bestforbritain.org/_like_drivin...

Covid corruption commissioner starts fraud probe Well I hope he gets a lot of our money back after the Tories and their PPE corruption.. And I also hope some of the profiteering wrong 'uns go to jail Let's see. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Starmer is right that we do not need to choose between our allies, but when it comes to trade there can be only one priority. If he wants to bring down costs for businesses and consumers, breaking down Brexit barriers is the way to achieve it. www.bestforbritain.org/us_or_eu_one...

"The biggest issue is the toxic narrative around migrants over the last decade... We talk about numbers instead of people... What makes it hard for people to integrate is their neighbours being told that they are the enemy, that they are scamming them." 👏 Mariella Frostrup on #BBCQT ~AA

The government response to the #RejoinEU petition is just as pathetic as the last government's responses. Click the link to read the response, and please sign while you're there! We need to take it out the hands of the cabinet office... petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
