Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

The world’s richest man is promoting the far right in Europe. Don’t buy a Tesla . Location: Tesla Gigafactory, Berlin www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjWl...

#BCFC NEWS: Blues ally with University of Birmingham to mark 150th anniversary 🗨️ Discuss on SHA

This is hysterical. The President of Mexico was spotted wearing a “Make America Mexicana Again.” 🤣

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Sorry to hear about David Lynch. I worked beside him (same studio) while he was making BLUE VELVET. He answered my questions about his work with grace and honesty. I especially enjoyed his deeply existential comic strip, The Angriest Dog in the World.”

✍️ Elon Musk’s war on ‘free speech’ and truth – should Britain consider banning X? Musk’s social media platform X fuels disinformation, hate, and political interference. How long can his ‘free speech’ hypocrisy go unchecked? By Lisa Burton @lisaburton.bsky.social

Congratulations, America. Great job of f'ing it up. Wonderful.

To Mike Johnson, Thou shalt not ‘impose conditions’ on disaster aid to California. California is the 6th largest economy in the world. If thou fuck around, thou shalt find out.

Trump should be in jail. Instead - he's about to get handed the keys to the White House. That this can happen is not only mind-boggling, it's frankly terrifying I'm afraid. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Well said @stellacreasy 👏 “The decisions that can lead to that positive change – relations with Europe being one – cannot be delayed any longer.” inews.co.uk/opinion/stel...

Every Private School that closes is hundreds of children saved from becoming assholes racing around in fast cars and treating everyone else like 💩 Close them all.

It's very funny that Musk has apparently been working with Cummings. Makes perfect sense.

A good time to remind ourselves (and everyone else) of the importance & benefits of membership of the ECHR youtu.be/iSTN-h8NoyY?...

Its a cult.

Forgive me but I still just cannot claim to understand the complaint these farmers have. “I have a huge amount of valuable land worth millions & one day my kids might have to pay tax on that” 😱😱 Yes. Like the bloody rest of us. (Or rather at half the rate of the rest of us but yknow) #r4today

Ex-PM, ex-MP Liz Truss crashed the UK economy. Yes, Liz Truss. The same Liz Truss that competed with a lettuce and lost. While competing Liz Truss also crashed the UK economy. Liz Truss is always crashing: parties (bcus who would invite her), the UK economy and her career. Crashfest, Liz.

Elon Musk is being investigated by the UK Counter-terrorism unit over fears that he is trying to incite violence in the UK.

I'm looking for small mercies this week so I'll pat myself on the back for the fact that I just successfully folded a fitted sheet for the first time.

The @nytimes.com should hire whoever wrote this headline. Seriously!

This is Missouri. Many years of Republican majority and governor. Republicans refuse to adequately fund government, then complain about the outcome, and seek to privatize

Just like much of the furore this week, here is an example of a law passed 4 years ago and the Tories did nothing with it. Within months of us being in power we delivered the scheme because we are about actual actions and real outcomes. They talked we walked. www.burytimes.co.uk/news/2484314...

Elon Musk is amplifying far-right figures, spreading harmful disinformation, and meddling in UK politics. Let’s stop billionaire interference—join me and sign this @hopenothate.org.uk petition today: secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/163807/...

@jessphillipsmp.bsky.social is magnificent.. smart, brave, totally committed and effective. Why is it the power men feel the need to attack the good ones?

Honest Bob is the poster boy for how inept the tory shysters are. #ukpolitics

Tommy Robinson is a hypocrite when it comes to opposing child sexual exploitation

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

Shockingly, twisted riot starter Farage couldn’t be arsed to show up in the Commons chamber for the Child Sexual Exploitation announcement. Big mouth, but nowhere to be seen. #ukpolitics

“Labour should be pointing out that, of the two big factors currently harming the economy – austerity and Brexit – Farage was responsible for the ills of Brexit, on which he is now trying to capitalise. He is a political impostor: a snake-oil salesman” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky
