Explain yourself #Hegseth . No wonder Kraznov wanted you in this position.

"Trump’s biggest enemy is Trump. Those who would save the US.. must employ all democratic means to contain, deter, defang & depose him. But.. the best hope is that, drowning in hubris, Trump will destroy himself". The problem with this is the people behind him. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@lewisgoodall.com Cracking interview with Pat Mc Fadden on #LBC Really admire your style.. you listen intently and come back on apparent nonsense with incisive ease.

Mine for @theipaper.com inews.co.uk/news/world/d...

Turmeric Cave Troll.. #Trump brilliant.. someone needs to compile a book @nickabbot.bsky.social #LBC @mrjamesob.bsky.social #BoycottUSA

Trump walking away from a deal plays into Putin’s hands – relieving Ukraine of a key ally and financial backer. Moscow sees the situation as a win-win: either taking a favourable deal with the White Hse or waiting for Trump to lose patience. Which looks likely. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The supposed state visit by the orange Mussolini must not happen. #boycottUSA it’s an emerging tyrant state. #LBC @lewisgoodall.com @simonmarksfsn.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=p1Sj...

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Oh bloody hell Tom Swarbrick #LBC banging on about pensions/pension age ..yet again! F*ck off

Mishal Hussein is hugely missed. You knew when she was on you’d get decent incisive interviews with no waffle. #r4today is becoming more and more irrelevant with their crop of self focused presenters/ their own agendas and repetitive format.

There’s still this incredulous, naive tone from journalists about the Trump administration “Are you seriously saying the United States would xyz aggressive, dishonest, or illegal thing?” 😩Yes. Yes. The US will do whatever Trump likes. He’s not our ally. When will they wake up?! #r4today

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

The first people that Adolf Hitler targeted were the Disabled, he called them useless eaters.

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

This is a Hitler-screaming-in-his-bunker-at-generals level of lunacy

Really good interview with Karishma Patel youtu.be/p5HpykJ5DA4

BREAKING: Kia’s official Instagram account in Norway just posted this..

I’ll never understand sentencing .. How can a life sentence with a minimum term of 4yrs and 137 days make sense? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In the Lords today: House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill Amendments tabled: Direct election of Lords members Lords Appointments Commission veto powers Term limits for peers Compulsory retirement age Min. attendance requirements Removal of peers convicted of serious offences H/t Hansard Society

Let this sink in.

“Zelenskyy found himself ambushed by Trump and his serpentine vice-president, JD Vance. He was expected to sit back and take a beating from Nurse Ratched and Miss Trunchbull. He refused”. Superb piece by David Smith. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It is obvious but worth repeating that regimes built on lies survive only as long as they can suppress truth. The promotion of complicit media (alternative facts) & denigration of objective media (facts) is not just desirable but essential. This process is being turbo-charged in the USA right now.

I would like to see a few British broadcasters read out every word of Trump’s latest ‘statement’ live on air & then remind us of their often lavish statements of support for him & then share some of their supportive words for Ukraine. And then we can all watch their brains explode…

Have written about JD Vance’s Munich speech. In what may prove to be the biggest week for European security since 1991, it’s time Europe listened to what Trump and his Vice President are telling us. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

@lewisgoodall.com why is Fridays show not available?! I need to know 😤 On delay in NZ as it is!

Hope the last few stragglers can stop defending Labour. This is inexcusable. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

The idea of a Labour government was supposed to address the needs of the working class. Not the companies that exploit us. There is absolutely no point in a Labour government with conservative economic and social policies. Change, my arse.

Absolutely delighted to receive the Scoop of the Year award at the Political Podcast Awards for News Agents for our story on Paul Marshall, the would-be Telegraph buyer in 2024.

I remember learning about the Holocaust at school + being in disbelief that human beings could let this happen. But let's look at today: Genocide in Gaza Trump demonizing vulnerable minority groups Farage whipping up hate + racism in the UK Musk fueling right wing extremism When will we learn?

Nigel Farage tells me that Elon Musk’s defence of Tommy Robinson is "not problematic at all" and though he was "surprised" that all of the Jan6th criminals were pardoned by Trump, he agrees that "some" are "political prisoners."
