If you missed the Trump press conference... here's a taster

Worse, and not only on green issues @georgemonbiot.bsky.social "After 14 years of environmental vandalism, it might have seemed impossible for Labour to offer anything but improvement. But on green issues, this government is worse than the Tories." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s these two against the civilised world and rules-based international order.

By golly, Labour couldn't bark up a more wrong Brexit tree if they tried. Strongly out of tune with 80% of their 2024 voters. Extraordinary mistake. That's substantially more than necessary to lose the 2029 GE. But hey ho, they'd rather stick their necks in the sand. yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead. Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.

Patients are dying in hospital corridors and going undiscovered for hours, while others who suffer heart attacks cannot be given CPR because of overcrowding in walkways, a bombshell report on the state of the NHS has revealed. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Badenoch sounds like a primary school pupil reading out questions from a book she does not understand. #PMQs

#PMQs is an embarrassment. Do the MPs, whose salaries we pay, really think we want to hear these childish taunts and subsequent hilarity every week? Is this just a ridiculous unfunny comedy show now, while people in the real world suffer poverty and hardship?

Most previously long term Labour voters who are appalled at Starmer’s government (like me) would not touch Reform with a barge pole. Of course we will go to the Greens or Libdems.

As many as one in six workers in Britain are skipping meals to make ends meet as households remain under pressure from the higher cost of groceries, energy and other essentials. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Paramedics in England are unable to respond to 100,000 urgent 999 calls every month because they are stuck outside hospitals waiting to hand over patients, endangering thousands of lives. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I get sick of seeing posts saying "The grown ups are in charge now". @MarinaHyde is right here when she says of British politics at the moment: "There are no adults in the room: there’s barely a room." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Did you vote Labour in 2024? Is this what you voted for?

Staggeringly misleading & irresponsible article by Express online. Neither I nor my site've ever said that. It's a perversion of our "earn under £35k & it's worth checking a benefits calc to see if you're missing out on owt" into dangerous, trite clickbait.

The president of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society hit out at the difficulties in obtaining stocks of flu vaccinations, as she called for better national coordination and planning to ensure everyone eligible can access them easily. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

"A group of 10 councillors who had been elected for Reform UK have given notice of their intention to resign en masse in protest at Nigel Farage’s leadership." You love to see it.

Mel Gibson’s $14.5m house burned down whilst he was denying climate change exists on the Joe Rogan podcast. Oh dear.

Fox recruiting for henhouse guard duties. Thanks, Labour. Thanks a bunch. The line to collect your P45s in 2029 is the one on the right. www.politico.eu/article/gise...

Caroline Lucas, "We keep being surprised by these phenomenon.. Floods in Valencia.. Hurricanes that hit the US" "What else does nature have to throw at us to wake us up to recognise that this is being massively exasperated by climate change" Well said @carolinelucas.bsky.social

My letter in today's Guardian. Just asking, like. But I think we know the answer.

Shutting the door after the horse has bolted springs to mind... "Multiple NHS hospitals have reintroduced a requirement to wear face masks in clinical areas as they declared critical incidents due to surging demand and winter viruses." www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

"Gloucestershire acute trust declared a “critical incident” on Wednesday as hospitals in England asked patients seeking medical help to come alone to reduce overcrowding in A&E." www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Starmer "is less leftwing than almost all of his 401 Labour colleagues, according to the research by Chris Hanretty..." Why did Starmer (and Reeves) choose to stand for Labour when they clearly do not espouse real Labour Party values? A mere vehicle to power... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

UN BE F*ING LIEVABLE!! This cretin lied through her teeth all the way through the referendum campaign and then lied again immediately after, when she claimed she had never said any of her previous lies. She is the embodiment of everything that was wrong with the Leave campaign.

This is the type of thing that should NOT be happening under a Labour government. "A failure of justice, and draconian Tory law, put Gaie Delap in prison. A failure of government is keeping her there" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Vacancies for permanent jobs in the UK declined at their fastest pace for four years last month, according to a new survey that adds to the gloomy economic mood." www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Private equity reduces patient healthcare, enriches investors, US Senate report finds. Cuts staffing/wages, profiteers, neglects investment, harms patients. Yet UK handed, social care, GP surgeries, NHS to PE. 30%-40% of money vanishes in profits. End the scam. www.nbcnews.com/news/investi...

He is right. Letby was convicted on purely circumstantial evidence and many experts are doubting validity of the verdict "MP tells parliament he believes justice has not been done after hearing experts’ concerns over former nurse’s murder convictions" www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

🚨🚨 in case you’re wondering why the Tories didn’t implement the Alexis Jay report into child sex abuse we reveal tonight that her proposal for a compensation scheme for victims would cost £5-10bn according to preliminary Whitehall estimates www.ft.com/content/cef1...

Proof of a corrupt platform peddling disinformation.

Downing Street’s plan to spend three years preparing a blueprint to overhaul England’s social care is “inappropriate” given the urgency of the crisis facing frail, ill and disabled people, a leading care expert has told MPs. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

If Trump sends US troops to occupy Greenland (Danish territory), then EU Treaty article 42(7) would apply: “If a Member State is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other Member States shall have an obligation of aid and assistance by all the means in their power”

Any comment from NATO and Mark Rutte on one member threatening another member's territorial integrity with military action? Anything?

A truth... The fight shouldn’t be between left & right It should be between the uber-wealthy who are sucking up the wealth vs the rest of us That’s the real fight And it scares oligarchs so much, they spend their money & time (e.g Musk) ensuring we fight eachother instead

I mean it’s sort of amazing that the incoming US President has basically said he’s going to declare war on Denmark, annex Canada and rename bits of the globe to his liking and broadcast news is just rolling with it like he’s delivered a sombre and thoughtful policy announcement. Absolute insanity.

Thanks, USA. The whole world will suffer for your idiocy in voting for a madman to be your President.

I’m no fan of Nick Robinson but he eviscerates Robert Jenrick here in pointing out that Honest Bob made absolutely no mention of grooming gangs or child rape during his entire time in government but he’s suddenly energised by the subject now it suits him Jenrick, human detritus #r4today

This is a massive, urgent report. If you read it all and follow all the in-text citations, you will be as anxious as I am right now. Not just America but the world is headed for ruin under the Trump-Musk autocracy we’re now just fourteen days away from. These men aren’t well, and they intend evil.

The Times has now, belatedly, after losing at IPSO, published a *second*, further correction of Matthew Parris's ignorant and bigoted article about people claiming disability benefits. The original version is here: archive.ph/UIXn2

🔴Kemi Badenoch’s Refusal to Distance Herself From Elon Musk is an Act of Moral Cowardice The Conservative Party leader’s refusal to criticise the X owner’s dangerous misinformation campaign against the UK should exclude her from ever returning to high office, argues @adambienkov.bsky.social

As predicted...those private healthcare donors reap their rewards.
