It's always the same with him.

Q: Your intelligence community says they have no evidence that Iran is building a nuke TRUMP: Then my intelligence community is wrong. Who said that? Q: You director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard TRUMP: She's wrong

The Republican budget bill includes new tax breaks to private equity firms who take over smaller businesses, load them with debt, close factories, and fire workers. Yet another Wall Street giveaway by the "party of the working class."

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

We will be properly honouring ‘Daniel Hannan Day’ on Tuesday with all the requisite pomp, circumstance & documentary evidence of what an irredeemable arse he is that you would expect. Elevating our world’s wrongest man to the House of Lords will always be the essence of Brexit. Do join us…

Farage & Reform have been fighting for taxpayers he says👇🏼🙄 Anyone heard a peep out of them❓ Nope me neither.. Besides ensuring the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, the man of the ppl has no plans on tax.. Other than the TV licence which is fine with me as it pays for him appearing on #BBCQT

Forget Reform and Tory voters. A lost cause. With them out of the picture, look at those massive ratios in favour of rejoining the EU. Low hanging electoral fruit? It's lying on the ground! All it takes is the vision to seize it. ygo-assets-websites-editorial-emea.yougov.net/documents/In...

Cheer up, says Vice Chair @jazz072.bsky.social in the @yorkshirepost.co.uk. We might be back in the EU sooner than some fear. Help make #RejoinEU happen by being active in Leeds for Europe - or another @europeanmovement.co.uk branch - & join demos such as Saturday 18 October's @marchforrejoin.co.uk

Day after day, the Israeli government continues its project of the physical elimination of the population of Gaza. The world does nothing. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Burberry says they support Pride, but their ads fund GB News. We teamed up with Stop Funding Hate to remind Burberry that you can’t celebrate LGBTQ+ people while supporting platforms that attack them. Tell Burberry to pick a side, hate or Pride 👇 goodlaw.social/abe931

I really wish middle class journalists would STOP projecting their own racism onto working class people and I also wish they would type the word “white” as working class people are disproportionately people of colour

Populists use misinformation & fake news to advance their agenda 1. Exaggerate threats 2. Prey on a sense of pseudo national identity & "party of the working class" narratives 3. Offer mutually beneficial relationships with media outlets that amplify their messages Ring any bells.

🚨 AI-generated and miscaptioned footage and images are being shared widely on social media as the Israel-Iran conflict continues. Here are some of the most viral claims we’ve seen in recent days, and what to watch out for 👇

"There is no way it is going to be assembled in the U.S. or completely manufactured in the U.S."

Elon Musk hah… would you buy a second hand or even a new car from that man❓🤔 Millions have brought Tesla SwastiCars which can catch fire, explode or simply start coming to pieces with bits falling off as ppl drive them.. So who in their right minds would man a Space X rocket that does this👇🏼👇🏼🤦🏼‍♂️🤪🙄

5.3% of tax, dodged by the richest 1%. Stop worrying about Disabled People and start noticing the rich people ripping you off.

What a perfect time to have absolutely the worst possible person in charge of everything

There's a one-word answer to this question but it is still worth asking why Kemi Badenoch has given the thumbs up to the kind of unapologetic white nationalism that Ted Heath rejected 57 years ago

This war is an absolute disaster in the making. Would be madness for the UK to get involved www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"Dying people like me are begging for choice" Nathaniel Dye implores Parliament to vote with compassion on Friday.

I agree with John Major on this: "One of the things I think that has really damaged the public's understanding of politics is the lack of the long interview. "Nobody [is] given an hour to sit the PM or senior member of government or opposition down, and probe deeply into what they're going to do."

A damning report into the faulty Post Office IT system that preceded Horizon has been unearthed after nearly 30 years - and it could help overturn criminal convictions news.sky.com/story/crucia...

I'm sorry, but watering down everyone's basic rights - something we already have to few of - is not a clever way to head off the threat of Reform. It's exactly the sort of ideologically cowardly pandering that's seen you sink in the polls to the point you're ushering in a Reform government now.

Who'd have thought Germany was standing up to dictatorship when the United States is failing?

Major’s “a little less true” is typical British understatement. Here’s how our legalized corruption system works.

About time: 'English universities have been barred from enforcing blanket bans on student protests. The Office for Students guidance set out for the first time how universities should deal with inflammatory disputes such as Gaza, urging a “very strong” approach to permitting lawful speech on campus'

oh my god

Most of the replies are complaining that he limited his deportation demands to Pakistanis rather than all Muslims. Utter utter cesspit.

Gov. Kathy Hochul says “the charges have been dropped” against Brad Lander.

An excellent day, all in all…

I know your time is precious and all that, but I can assure you that this is worth 100 hours of doomscrolling.

“OK, Boomer” just got flipped on its head. At protests across the country this past weekend, older Americans turned out in force, leading chants, waving signs and showing that resistance has no age limit. And their passion isn’t just inspiring. It might be what helps save democracy.

Can we call it fascism now? Not yet because it’ll switch non-fascist voters off, and at the same time alienate the people voting for fascists? Oh. youtu.be/1WsvzqpsJpM?... How about now? Still no? Oh.

Fantastic news! Religious extremists are coming for our rights and the more we can entrench and cement human freedoms into law the better! I’m thinking right now of humanist campaigners like Diane Munday who, now in her 90s, started this campaign over 60 years ago. humanists.uk/2025/06/17/b...

THIS IS THE NEXT HUGE ISSUE TO OVERCOME. STOP PALANTIR. STOP THIEL.

It’s important to remember that the columnists who revere this weirdo, and the broadcasters who hand her season tickets & free passes galore, also understand nothing of Shakespeare. A truth rarely clearer than when they cite him in defence of ‘British values’.

Badenoch clearly suffering from amnesia as she tries to blame 15 years of inaction on grooming gangs on a govt that’s been in power 11 months - totally forgetting her very forgettable times as minister for women & equalities and minister for local government AND minister for Children & Families

The Billionaire Media endlessly go on about Grooming Gangs because it allows them to distract from the real criminals like the people behind Grenfell. But those are crimes by their mates.

A proper headline. Take note, @washingtonpost.com

About half of Vienna's 2 mill residents live in social housing. Avg social housing rents are c $700 pcm for a large 1-bed apartment….Schublach pays more for his four-bedroom — with utilities, it's around $1,700pcm. "Which is not 'cheap, cheap,' but it's definitely affordable," he says.

When NO KINGS reigns over your parade. #SAD 🤣

"MPS CALL FOR WATER COMPANY REFORMS" #AlexandraWood for @yorkshirepost.co.uk. The Water Sector is in need of "root-and-brand reform" a committee of MPs has said. Firms are 'deaf to crisis' in 'failing' industry. #YorkshirePost #TomorrowsPapersToday #IBPAPERS

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom just posted this mocking Trump’s military parade.

Is the answer free childcare? I feel sure it is. I'll click now and see. Can't wait!
