“Trump's approval at 100 days is lower than any president in seven decades” - There’s hope!

Farage is a fraud ‘cosplaying’ as working-class champion, TUC chief says www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

What’s the value an LGBT life? Perhaps it can be measured in tariffs. JD Vance reported to want UK to roll back hate crime legislation in exchange for a trade deal. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

Matthew Stadlen calls out Newsnight for giving Douglas Murray an 8 minute window to spew divisive hatred Newsnight brush it off and move on 🤷‍♂️

"the only reason to doubt that Trump is not what we classically consider a Russian agent is that he’s too obvious. A real agent would not be so blatant about serving the Kremlin’s interests." nickcohen.substack.com/p/nato-is-de...

And in today’s news you won’t hear from the usual right-wing press: apple.news/AQpyRV0qJTX-...

Nigel Farage paid £40,000 by a firm that helps super rich dodgers rob Britain of tax revenues. Farage is a traitor. Fight Fascism- #Vote4Democracy in the local elections. #PATH People Against Tax Havens www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

38d.gs/april-wa All the petitions are important. But this? This must be right at the TOP of our list! Let’s make this go everywhere 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Outrageous. Trump has told the UK that if we want tariff relief we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! 🤢🐔 How dare he try and impose poor food standards in Britain. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves:

Not only is Farage a Putin tool, he is the treasonous stooge of the Trump regime that is destroying British jobs.

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 34 MILLION! 👏 LETS DO THIS!

Russell Brand has been charged with one count each of rape, indecent assault and oral rape plus two counts of sexual assault. news.met.police.uk/news/russell...

Pray your way out of this one, dickhead.

We put tariffs on an uninhabited island full of penguins but not Russia. Very normal administration we have here.

I had to read this twice because it is so completely at odds with the coverage I’ve seen this morning…

The human face of all those bullshit, blue tick Twitter accounts full of racism, lies, cowardice & cruelty…

The Atlantic has just published the full Signal chat between Hegseth, Waltz and the rest of the security team. Despite what Hegseth said previously, a huge chunk of it is classified - and released on an insecure medium. Hegseth’s lies when it was obvious it was going to come out shows the dumb.

I know this sounds crazy, but I’m starting to think that hiring an alcoholic TV host to be Secretary of Defense was a bad idea.

Warner: And the idea somehow, well, none of this was classified, but we can't talk about it here. You can't have it both ways.

Yet another right wing, racist #Reformoron head-banger, proven to be a threat to women: Joey Barton guilty of kicking wife in the head www.bbc.com/news/article...

Brexiters in 2016 wanted to swap Poles and Romanians for Nigerians and Pakistanis. Everyone knows that.

Oh dear…yet another #Reformoron who poses a genuine threat to women. Anyone remotely surprised..? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

Elon must feel terrible, I mean yesterday I thought I’d lost my keys and the world nearly ended. Has he tried looking behind the couch ‘cause that’s where I found the keys…. #SEC #DirectorResponsibility

“While drug shortages have become a problem globally in recent years, the UK is facing “a worsening situation” compared with the rest of Europe because of Brexit” Excellent work, Brexiters. Absolutely nailing our sovereign right to be self-harmingly idiotic. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Oh.

Left: Kemi Badenoch claims council tax on expenses Right: That time Kemi Badenoch said she believes in personal responsibility, that government should nurture a fair society, and governments that try to do everything will run out of other people's money

Greg has at last found a major Brexit benefit. And it's really shit.

International Happiness Day:

True:

Even Reform voters don't trust Russia to abide by the terms of a ceasefire.

The new issue of the UK’s Private Eye.

Elon Musk claims "the leftists" are bad-mouthing his company. This isn't true. It's ordinary car buyers who are fed the fuck up.

This is a fantastic example of what a Labour government can do when it gets it right 👏 *The right to guaranteed hours for zero hours workers. * Protection from unfair dismissal from day one in the job. * Sick pay for all workers, from the first day of absence www.ier.org.uk/news/new-pro...

“I’ve literally seen a difference in the way I’m spoken to as a gay man since November. A few months of weaponising hate speech, and the hate speech creeps into the real world.” Russell T Davies: gay society in ‘greatest danger I’ve ever seen’ after Trump win www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

#Reformoron Head of Vetting… Seems legit. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I’ve seen some shameful attempts to self promote in my time, but never seen anyone willing to admit shagging Liz Truss to flog a few books. Not only did he willingly poke a madwoman (whilst they both were married) he also assaulted a climate protester. Tories are gonna Tory. Don’t buy his book.

Nothing to see here: just your average #Reformoron Head of Vetting…https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/mar/16/reform-uk-candidate-who-praised-hitler-and-assad-put-in-charge-of-vetting?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
