According to reports Andrew Tate and his equally ghastly brother have left Romania and are currently flying to Trump’s USA. America - importing the worst and the dimmest since January 2025.

Today's front page of The New York Post.

Borat’s getting in on the act To be fair he’s a far less ridiculous character than Trump

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better? This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

I am part of the 25%. The lifestyle change is worth it. This is the way…

It's like she took Liz Truss and added some extra stupid. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"Anti-migrant politics will not build a single house, staff a single hospital or raise anyone’s wages. Instead, by echoing its rhetoric, the government is simply fuelling the rise of Reform UK" Well done to these Labour MPs, trade unionists, and members. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Richard Tice but dim

They suck equally hard.

Oops 😬

A reminder that the BBC can still do accurate, informative analysis when it wants to. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Perfectly captured.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Douglas Carswell here. Cheering on an appalling sentiment and a fascist mob.

I agree with Priti Patel... (ducks) www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Six years ago today, in my first ever @bylinetimes.bsky.social article, I predicted that when it was obvious that Brexit had failed, the Brexit faithful would continue to blame everything bar the sacred prophecy. If you need the lotto numbers ask... bylinetimes.com/2019/01/29/b...

We can but hope, but I wouldn't recommend holding your breath.

Worst of all, the deadening phrase "very clear"when the language is anything but. The best we can hope for, as David says, is that this obscurantist piddle is a negotiating strategy. If it's their genuine position they might as well not bother.

You might expect that one of the world's biggest media organisations admitting to illegal practices in accessing private information about a member of the royal family and a government minister would be front page news across the board, but apparently not.

This billboard says it all.

TechCrunch going in hard!

That came round pretty rapidly Awful lot of bots have landed though unfortunately

we know which three people will be the primary architects behind humanity's global annihilation, we just think it's better to wait and see www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

todays satirical diary from @hugorifkind.bsky.social

Even a rigged Supreme Court, even with the president-elect reportedly calling a judge last night, they still found against him. The symbolism is important. Trump will be sworn in on the 20th as a convicted criminal. ~AA edition.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Never has the fake 'patriotism' of the British right-wing tabloid press been more powerfully displayed than this week

I finally deactivated my Twitter account today 😁

Liz Truss crashed the economy. And I'm happy to accept service of proceedings at Good Law Project's registered address.

Bear sends legal letter ordering people to stop saying that bears shit in the woods. Lawyers delighted to be able to bill ££££ for this wildly delusional nonsense. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I strongly suspect that Liz Truss's attempts to stop people claiming she crashed the economy, will only result in her being hounded to the end of her long days with people telling her she crashed the economy.

Greenland: the polar bears speak out.

Not a single Reform MP has bothered to turn up to today's House of Commons debate on tackling violence against women and girls

😂🤣

You didn't have to know much about Kemi Badenoch before this week to suspect that she isn't a serious person. But now it's blindingly obvious. That's not to say she can't be Prime Minister. Boris Johnson isn't a serious person and Liz Truss is, well... But it probably makes it harder.

With news that 'Former Prime Minister Liz Truss has sent a legal "cease and desist" letter to Sir Keir Starmer demanding he stop saying she "crashed the economy".' It's also worth remembering it was also KamiKwasi and his budget #KamiKwasi

Please please let this end up in court. Please.

Falling home ownership has coincided with an increase in private renting. The likelihood of a young person living in private rented accomodation has tripled since the 1990s. Learn more ⤵️ https://buff.ly/4fmyPJu

Bye, bitch.

Just three days ago, Liz Truss without parliamentary protection claimed that Jess Phillips was in part culpable for the rape of children Now here she is trying to use legal means to get Keir Starmer to stop pointing out that she wrecked the economy… If she only had a brain.
