Good Night World

It's not exactly subtle, is it? Be sure to watch Louis Theroux's documentary on iPlayer

Reform UK Facebook groups are full of racist and Islamophobic conspiracy theories which are left totally unchallenged by party officials. Groups contain calls for Muslims to be lynched and suggestions that Jews are trying to “dilute out country with foreign invaders" bylinetimes.com/2025/04/30/r...

UK could save billions by ending hunger – not slashing benefits www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

The answer is yes.

Here we sit hoping not to be deported while Norway finishes the world’s largest wind farm, capable of generating enough energy to power a million homes #WakeUpAmerica #BlueEarth #SaveThisPlanet

So cute

If public school teachers did this the Murdoch rags and the LNP, would go absolutely troppo.

It has to be said. They only prevail if good people do nothing. You can prevent a Reform stranglehold if you use your vote wisely. The stakes are high for us all, but especially for women. stopreformuk.vote

This will probably come as no surprise to anyone but.. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/nigel-...

Blimey. CBS reporting the chief executives of Walmart and Target privately warned President Trump this week that his sweeping tariff policy could disrupt supply chains and lead to empty shelves in the coming weeks Way to go www.cbsnews.com/news/walmart...

Trump is an appeaser. Trump is a useful idiot. Trump is Putin's poodle. Trump will go down in ignimony as an enemy of democracy, an enemy of decency and an enabler of a murderous fucking tyrant. But none of that helps Ukraine. Ukraine needs allies NOW and Europe and the UK need to STEP UP. NOW

Britain wakes up every day, aims the gun at its feet and pulls the trigger. Just a prolonged exercise in meanspiritedness and self-harm.

Good. Maybe someone competent can have a go.

Just imagine being this STUPID…👇 Unfathomable. ✨

It’s time to fashion a new global trade order without the US www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is the thing. I never capped up black, never used the word Latinx and never displayed my pronouns. Apart from the odd angry tweet, there were precisely zero negative implications for these decisions. No-one was ever forced to do a damn thing.

Good morning #Resisters Passing coffee all around 💙☕️💙☕️💙☕️ 💫🤜💙🤛💫

“Starmer must not trade away our food standards as part of tariff negotiations. We are as indignant about American animal welfare as JDVance seems to be about the control of anti-abortion demonstrations outside UK clinics” So many reasons to focus on the EU, not the US. Letter of the week The Week

This carnival of bullshit must end. There's a change to reform the Lords immediately, through amendments at report stage. Peers should grasp it. Make these the last resignation peerages inews.co.uk/opinion/labo...

Aren't maga hats made in China?

Freely admit I don't understand economics, but I see billions disappear from companies like Tesla, Meta and Amazon so now I wonder where did it go? Who got rich? Maybe @garyseconomics.bsky.social can explain 🤷‍♀️ I know it's pretend money,so does it change loan possibilities for the owners or something

Here's an amusing short for @garyseconomics.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/J3UVM...

BREAKING: “I’ve been really clear we are not having chlorinated chicken in the UK” Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones 👏

I mean… Isn’t that repulsive? On every level. Ignorantly and vindictively unleashes untold damage on the citizens of America and the world, shatters trust with America’s allies and cosies up to their enemies… then, without a care (or thought) in the world, spends the weekend playing golf.

Okay who made this.

It is exactly what they deserve. May they all lose every penny for supporting the fascists that are Trump and his team. (*autocorrect typo in earlier version)

The amazing Trumpian future - armies of people screwing in screws

It’s amazing how many people who identify as ‘anti-woke’ want people to be punished for actual thought crimes. www.bbc.com/news/article...

you, a rube: “i want my kid to grow up to be a doctor or an engineer or a teacher” lutnick, a genius: “to make america great again your child will make iphones that they will not be able to afford”

International stock markets have fallen dramatically overnight amid fears of a global trade war following Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, which he called "medicine" news.sky.com/story/intern...

What an utter embarrassment she is.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

Boris Johnson has used his Daily Mail platform to slag off “Adolescence” and compare Starmer to Pol Pot. This is a politician, a paper and a headline that sum up the debasement of our politics and the toxic level of ‘debate’ it encourages. Grotesque that he gets airtime to insult us all like this.
