Trump’s bullshit blitz has Europe on its knees | Stewart Lee For the US president’s cheerleaders, the whitewashing of the deaths of ten of thousands of Ukrainians is a small price to pay for sticking it to the wokerati.

St Pancras and Channel tunnel plan rail routes to Germany and Switzerland

The data could not be more clear: our public services will collapse without immigration. People desperately need to come here & we desperately need people, too. Me, for @metrouk.bsky.social metro.co.uk/2025/02/19/n...

In journalism it's important to reflect both sides,listen, understand nuance,be aware of your bias It’s also important to call out facts that aren’t true Trump suggested Ukraine started the war with Russia That is not true.Facts matter.If you want to end a war,you need to face up to how it started

They tried to cancel John Crace from covering the right-wing jamboree at ExCel but no one can stop him filing copy this good www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Trump has now completely humiliated his apologists in the U.K. but not one of them will be honest enough to admit it.

Be not afraid The UK’s GDP is 50% bigger than Russia’s and GDP per capita three times as great (as with most EU countries). The economic power of the EU alone (without the UK) is EIGHT times larger than Russia. The EU is a superpower. Russia is not. And should not be treated like one

I’m guessing Trump believes Poland started WWII by invading Germany

That's a risk we'll just have to take

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

The JD Vance team flagged my TikToks for impersonation and had my account banned for making fun of him in a doughnut shop.

Big crowd at the SF Tesla dealership protesting our unelected overlord. A tiny sign hangs from an upstairs window

Just to be clear - if Rupert Lowe had had his way, not a single Jewish child would have been saved from the gas chambers by the UK. None of Farage’s Huguenot ancestors would have been allowed to come here. Escapees from Stalin would have been sent back to face the KGB.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Good to see the UK’s plan to suck up to the US is working tremendously well

So let’s take their advice and sort our own defence out and rejoin the EU. Then we can tell the US to get stuffed.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

“there are Neville Chamberlain’s in every generation” George Monbiot’s takedown of Matt Goodwin and the Reform party is a thing of beauty 👏 #bbcqt

Clarkson is right. Brexit has made travelling to the EU with any kind of professional equipment, nightmarish. Carnets for cameras etc is a bureaucratic, expensive waste of time. But it applies to loads of industries, esp musicians/performing artists etc. www.thetimes.com/article/5356...

‘Mutual free movement’ for UK and EU citizens supported by 84% of Brits, in stunning new poll Omnisis poll suggests opposition to free movement was based on lack of awareness and the UK government failing to enforce the rules yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

Ugh. Farage on #r4today to comment on Starmer attending the EU summit. An explosion of prejudiced bilge. The usual crap about needing a “proper” Brexit and a US trade deal. He talks of “submission” and “humiliation” but would be very happy to sell us out to Trump. The man is such a fucking bore.

In particular, the Brexity folks who claimed to be all about the Commonwealth are nowhere to be seen. More generally, anyone who claims to support free trade but also supports Trump should never be taken seriously ever again.

🔥 And even *Conservative* MPs AND peers are now telling govt to agree a youth mobility scheme… Lord Kirkhope, David Simmonds MP, Sir Roger Gale MP and Stephen Hammond (ex Chairman of Conservatives) all tell Starmer to go for a youth mobility scheme.

Fighting for my life to get a full sentence out with Nick Ferrari on LBC just now. We have to be realistic about safe routes: It’s a small number of people trying to come here & we desperately need people, too. youtube.com/shorts/M1OVO...

Five years on, few Britons think Brexit has been good for anything % saying Brexit has had a positive impact on... Control the UK has over its laws: 31% UK's ability to respond to COVID-19: 23% UK's level of international trade: 11% NHS: 6% Full list in chart 👇 yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

This is extraordinary.

Say what you like about David Cameron but he really did shoot UKIP's fox.

Investment in UK may be 10% lower than expected as result of Brexit, report says - www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

We never imagined that 80 years after the liberation of #Auschwitz we would see such appalling levels of antisemitism and Islamophobia, and a resurgence of the far right, in Europe. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Michael Heseltine says Brexiteers sold Britain a “pack of lies” and called for the UK to rejoin the EU. He said the UK should be “at the heart of Europe” and that returning to the bloc would be “in the best interests of a generation of young British people”. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Bill Gates on the Elon Musk interventions on UK politics: “Insane shit”

‘Move closer to Europe – not Trump’ voters tell Starmer in major UK poll

my best guess is a vampire fell asleep on it last night

10,000 of 3,000,000 millionaires left the country last year - 0.33%. These people would rather leave than pay tax - good riddance I say. Let’s not change our approach to appease rich freeloaders.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

Starting to get it?

um

The salute 😮
