Yeah, not 'Net Zero' as the Telegraph tried to have you believe www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

Keir Starmer told us at the G7 why he picked up Donald Trump's spilled papers, and to précis only slightly, it was because he worried that if someone else, like a journalist, rushed forward to help they might get shot.

As Keir Starmer announces a public inquiry into the 'Grooming Gangs' Scandal, our four-part report last year by @andrewkersley.bsky.social is once again relevant www.bylinetimes.com

It's important to acknowledge when we discuss why a minority of young men are attracted to the radical right that part of the answer is "they're obnoxious". It's not all about being dispossessed and left behind it's also twats.

Weird how the “we’re broke” crowd goes quiet whenever war is on the table But we have to throw 11 million off health care, cut food stamps, etc right?

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

Finally worked it out. Trump is actually trying the ultimate green energy solution, he makes so many shitty decisions that citizens blood boils, what's going on in Salvador is a giant piston fuelled by unlawful detainees getting hotter and hotter

Far-right MP Rupert Lowe missed the grooming gangs debate in Parliament today, to have an appointment with the police to try and get his (seized) guns back

A wealth tax isn’t radical, it’s fair.

Enabled by your government.

@marina-purkiss.bsky.social if you've not seen this guy, it's well worth a watch, don't worry it's work safe youtube.com/@genericartd...

Woke with period pain. Took what I thought was cocodomol whilst half asleep. It was two Ritalin. Since then I’ve written a book chapter, deep cleaned the bathroom, completed a ten step skincare routine and fallen down a Peter Thiel rabbit hole. Might take another for the plot.

Fascists need wars. This is as true of Netanyahu, Putin & Trump as it was of Mussolini & Hitler.

Bloody hell Android studio is the worst ide I've ever had the misfortune to use, it's not just the resource hungry, buggy nature but the general flow is awful

This guy threatens to kill civilians he is sworn to protect over stuff made up in the heads of far-right fantasists.

Remember, everything Netanyahu does is to keep himself out of prison. For the sake of one crook's liberty, tens of thousands of people have been murdered, and now a possible full-scale war has been provoked. Israel must rise up and unseat him.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Absolutely nuts that they're even considering it when the technology isn't fit for purpose

Some people are just sick. These are the reactions against a BBC article stating Israel bombing Iran

fair to say Kemi Badenoch’s last interview on BBC wasn’t a storming success

I criticise Kemi a lot, and rightly so, but what truly helps her stand apart is that she manages to find wrong answers that no one was even imagining she'd give.

A Lib Dem source said: “We have sent Agent Truss so deep undercover that Kemi Badenoch can’t even say if she is in the party anymore. Truly stunning work.”

👀 “More than a third of council meetings have already been cancelled this month, where vitally important decisions are made for our county, and two of the five members of ‘DOGE for Kent’ have quit after less than a week. Reform needs to get a grip and bring an end to this unprecedented chaos.”

Today is the 81st anniversary of that time even Republicans stood up to fascists

This has aged like ripened road kill.

The IPP scandal was described as “a stain on our justice system” by the last Justice Secretary “an egregious miscarriage of justice & psychological torture” by UN rapporteur for torture & likely breaches Article 3 of the HRA & it’s happening RIGHT NOW thecriminaljusticeblog.com/2025/05/28/c...

Y'all should get The Handbasket so you can read the scoops about how this administration keeps going even more Nazi every day.

Who saw that coming.. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Indeed I did. He missed the Brexit reset debate & had his trotters up in Nice last week despite the scheduled recess being this week. I predicted that a lucrative US trip would turn out to be the reason. Call me Nostradamus.

“Liz Truss’s fantasy economics crashed the economy. My Government was elected to fix the mess. Now Nigel Farage wants to repeat her mistake. You can’t trust him with your job, your mortgage, your pension, your bills, or your future” Prime minister Keir Starmer responding to Reform UK policies

Robert Jenrick spent the day harassing working class people for not paying the £3 train fares. This is the same guy who tried to steal £45 million from the poorest community in London on behalf of a billionaire Tory donor! 🤮🤮

What makes glaciers melt, you may wonder. What could it be? Our planet is heating up due to humanity's folly. We can fix this. We choose not to.

Definitely worth your time reading this to understand the Reform - MAGA links⬇️

Netanyahu says you'd be wrong to side with baby killers, he's right, trouble is that right now Israel are the killers of babies

Surely not?! Not Nigel?! 👇
