Lib Dem deputy leader Daisy Cooper: Sunak peerages are 'parade of political flunkies.' Gove was at the heart of the VIP lane PPE scandals. He should be imprisoned not invested.

Pretty good description of Michael Gove too.

At last, a sane and sensible policy we can all get behind.

The national guard, the military, they're just regular folk with loved ones throughout the USA. THEY and their families, friends etc are PART OF THE 99%. THEY TOO MUST RESIST. Or Trump will never cease. #DoTheRightThing #HONOUR #INTEGRITY #SELFRESPECT #99%vs1%-ClassWar #Resist #NowOrNAZI

This would mean impeachment if we had a Congress & Senate that functioned as our Framer’s & Constitution intended, this was so blatantly illegal… We have so much work to do!

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

The haunting echo of every fascist regime ever.

I'm old enough to remember Michael Gove turning up at work to vote completely off his face. For that he didn't get fired, but he did get a peerage.

Bribes and more bribes, and the country pays the price.

Ah lovely. Another bag of rubbish gets tipped into the House of Lords. The place must absolutely reek of stale Tory failure, corruption and abuse of power. Honours handed out like sweeties to some of the most undeserving, underachieving, overpromoted clowns and liars to have ever held public office.

sheet-foam mallet hammer where the skies are so blue sheet-foam mallet hammer (oh, my baby) lord, I'm comin' home to you (now say it again, now say it now)

Given how badly Brexit has turned out, it's almost beyond belief that Michael Gove has been given a peerage

The Tories are blaming Labour for the mess of the British steel industry??? You could not make it up.

Marjorie Taylor Greene presiding over the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee is like a raccoon giving a TED Talk on sanitation.

Michael Gove used to ban teachers from their profession for life for drug use. He got caught taking cocaine and a few years later he's getting a peerage? It's as clear as day that drug laws are just there to punish the working class.

This is an idiot. Too.

"The 2024 election wasn’t a restaurant where you could order cheaper eggs but politely ask for the server to hold the fascism. You’re still getting the fascism, and your eggs aren’t just overpriced now, they’re broken and rotten." -- @playtyperguy.com

And this is why countries are dumping their U.S. treasuries and dollars.

Finally, Keith. Please let this be the gateway drug to taking our industry and our utilities out of foreign hands. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Wow - this is an electoral warning to Labour

I cannot resist a V meme.

“British politics is shackled to a corpse. Undoing those chains would leave everyone better off. A closer relationship with Europe is the quickest and easiest way… to generate growth” V good on our “zombie politics” and its deadening impact. @duncanrobinson.bsky.social economist.com/britain/2025...

America.. Please dont forget this moment. Trump and his billionaire minions decided to ruin your 401k and future retirements so they could have more billions........

Martha Stewart got 5 months in a Federal prison for just obstruction of justice related to insider trading of only 45673.00. Marjorie Taylor Greene......

Told ya.

He literally tweeted: This is a great time to BUY! Just hours ago. And then he paused tariffs. He’s literally committing crimes in front of the entire world. 😳

Told ya.

Huh, weird. Probably just a coincidence

"How can you justify this?" I have written to Rachel Reeves to share my constituents' profound distress over the cuts to disability benefits. We are appalled by the government's cruelty - and we will not back down.

So now that the EU is on the same 10% tariff as the UK, could we please hear from all those who tried to portray the previous scenario as a 'Brexit benefit'...

Trump on the market going back to below where it was last week: "I guess they say it was the biggest day in financial history."

Meanwhile in an America that makes V for vendetta look like Chorlton and the Wheelies
