I'm hoping that when I leave this world, it will be a better place for my grandchildren and generations to come. Return NHS to being the envy of the world.

Starting to binge on this guy's videos. He makes a lot of sense. Oh, for the world to be led by CONSCIENTIOUS economists (and biologists, naturally)! But people do like voting in governments that the right wing media tell them to. I blame free will! šŸ˜œ #ZATAOSLOE www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRAf...

I hope that all those who dismissed Russian interference in Brexit and Trump 9 years ago are finally realising that it wasnā€™t a hoax, it wasnā€™t exaggerated, and for all their doubts then are doing their best to make up for it now by supporting Ukraine

Stephen Fry on Trump ā€œLook at who Trump admires -MBS in Saudi Arabia; Putinā€™s Russia, obviously; Lukashenkoā€™s Belarus[ Erdoganā€™s Turkey; Mileiā€™s Argentina; Modiā€™s India; Netenyahuā€™s Israel. Places which are, basically, moving toward fascism, nationalism and they donā€™t listen to people like Starmerā€

Someone needs to tell Trump the AfD didnā€™t win.

So the lives lost by all non white or female fire fighters in the UK mean nothing to Rupert Lowe-LifešŸ‘‡šŸ¼šŸ¤¬ For context in 2022 95% UK firefighters were white, in 2024 less than 10% were women and 5.4% ethnic minorities.. He wants the fire service white, male.. misogynistic, racist and homophobicā—ļø

80% of German VOTERS went for parties that promised to have nothing to do with the AFD... MEDIA: Huge win for AFD!

NEW: Incoming German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said his priority is to strengthen Europe to ā€œachieve independence from the US.ā€ šŸ‡©šŸ‡Ŗ He also compared Trumpā€™s administration to Putinā€™s, blasting Washingtonā€™s election interference as ā€œno less brazen than Moscowā€™s.ā€ The global order has upended.

Friedrich Merz did not even wait for the final results in Germany's election before delivering what could well be a defining verdict on US President Donald Trump, consigning Europe's 80-year alliance with the Americans to the past.

Trump sees Merz winning as a great day for Trump & America. Merz has called Trump's embrace of Putin "shocking" just said the top priority of his government would be that Europe has the strategic capacity to defend Europe without Anerica.

Obama knew

Always loved James Taylor, now even more.

For clarification- it's a Nazi salute.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social US. Peter Hegseth was barred from serving on duty at the inauguration of Joe Biden after a guardsman flagged Hegseth as an "insider threat", noting a tattoo on his bicep of the words Deus vult. Which is alt-right white supremacist groups slogan.

Perhaps today is the day that @england-rugby.bsky.social post comments, updates, etc, on @bsky.app and build on their following of 1.8K based on zero posts.

ā€œIf you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.ā€ A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

We started The Trawl in our bedroomsā€¦ And now we beat Piers Morgan and Murdochā€™s TalkTV in the News Podcast charts ā€¦makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

It is my duty to report that the Daily Mail, through its lawyers RPC, seems to have abandoned its hopeless attempt to bully us into submission with feeble defamation threats.

These events are simulateously hilarious, shocking and dangerous, given that the UK's security was often jeopardised by risky behaviour. What is equally shocking is the fact that, when you think about it, there are so many possible candidates for these appalling anonymised misdemeanours.

France's National Rally has withdrawn from CPAC because it is too far right for their... far right party. Liz Truss still spoke, though.

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.

Weā€™re all making fun of you Elon. All of us. We just left your awful site to do it behind your back. Because thatā€™s funnier.

I don't think people here have forgotten the murder of Andrei Litvinenko nor the chemical weapons attack in Salisbury that killed one British citizen, left others gravely ill & recklessly risked the lives & health of hundreds.

Trump is on Putin's side. That's it. That's the story and if you are on Trump and Putin's side then you're on the side of murder, fear, war and autocracy. Find it absolutely staggering that some people who you'd expect so much more of are cheering this nightmare on

Sen. Blumenthal: ā€œWhat world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable, a disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedomā€¦The president's surrender is pathetic and weak.ā€

Imagine being such a wimp you get owned by Ed Davey šŸ˜‚

Iā€™m George Takei and I approve of this message.

We live in the dumbest timeline

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. Iā€™m afraid Iā€™m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russiaā€™s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraineā€™s voice is heard on the world stage.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Yes, Donald. The USA has fallen to tyranny. Youā€™ve collapsed the Constitution. Torched American soft power. Allowed a drug-addled menace to trash any and all govt departments. Risked the worldā€™s health and safety. Betrayed your citizens and your allies. Hand claps donā€™t come any slower than this.

Father Pence is not having the ā€˜Kingā€™sā€™ BS.

Just 3% of Brits think Ukraine is responsible for the war. Trump has lost all allies. Entirely.

Donald Trump again mimics Putin and calls for an election in Ukraine - falsely claiming Zelenskyā€™s approval rating was ā€œat 4%ā€ Recent polling in fact shows that Zelenskyā€™s approval rating is better than Trumps Lets make sure everyone knows the truth youtu.be/QDagM0WWEP4?...

OTD in 2022 i denied any invasion would happen. So you can believe my promises about peace now.

"Who is more responsible for the current state of the military? The party that was in gov't for 14 years or the party that's been in gov't for six months?" Sad to see Conservatives slow & equivocal to support PM & using situation to attack him, given how he supported Johnson/Sunak on Ukraine. ~AA

This has to be the most disgusting "bait & switch" since time began. Nobody ever mentioned Ukraine having to pay for help to avoid Russian rape and murder. Is it just a MAGA thing? If you go to the aid of a mugging or rape victim, do you bill them later? Fucking obscene!!!!

"As the lawyer for some of the UK victims of Tateā€™s alleged crimes, I find this development, if true, equally bizarre and outrageous... The US shouldnā€™t be interfering based on Elon Muskā€™s political whims and predilections and the money Tate makes for him on X." ~AA

Russian Foreign Ministry says "a simple refusal to accept Ukraine into NATO is not enough" and "rejects the presence of European forces in Ukraine, regardless of their role." Sadly predictable. Hegseth having conceded everything before negotiations even started, Russia are now asking for more. ~AA

This week, Reform had its first stab at new policy since the last election hoping to provide some answers to high energy prices. Reformā€™s solution to the energy crisis & rising bills is & Iā€™m not kidding - to: add taxes to renewable energy companies & bill payers. www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...
