Brexiteer Kate Hoey has the very basics of international diplomacy explained to her by our man Oli.

Reassuring

New billboard in Clacton, Farage’s constituency. He’s still the UK’s #1 grifter. No other MP takes more from second jobs while being employed to represent their constituents in Parliament

We took over the giant screen at Farage’s big rally in Birmingham

@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social @garyseconomics.bsky.social @zarahsultana.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social I’m up for doing the role of Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs. I’ll happily donate my salary to those indeed of it.

@politicsjoe.bsky.social one of your best vids so far. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social It’s not hard. youtu.be/BRvMuefnl0k?...

Cuts for the poor. Handouts for the rich. That’s what this Labour government stands for. We believe in something different. Sign the Dignity Declaration at thedignitydeclaration.co.uk

As Trump announces 25% tariffs on car imports to the US, @mrjamesob.bsky.social thinks 'you can be certain of two things.' 1. 'Trump will do terrible things.' 2. 'If they impact negatively on Britain, Rachel Reeves will get blamed by the media for it.'

Mark Carney was just asked to respond to Trump's threat to hit Canada with more tariffs if Canada coordinates a response with the EU. He said: "We're a soviereign nation. We take our own decisions. I take note of his comments. Nothing more."

Figures.

3 kidnapped teenagers made it back to Ukraine and they’re just so cool

Two different Ukrainian population centers right now. russia did not stop its terror for a minute and feels quite comfortable repeating it each day

One of Britain’s finest actors, @davidharewood.bsky.social tells @mrjamesob.bsky.social about finding late fame, becoming RADA’s first black president, and the brutal challenges he faced to get there on ‘Full Disclosure’. Listen in full: www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/epi...

“I thought it was a good idea to ask the main parties to tell me what info they have about me. While the others acknowledged my requests, I did not hear anything from Reform.” We’re supporting 51 ordinary voters to force Reform to play by the rules goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

Labour is choosing to push 50,000 *more* children into poverty — and it is utterly disgraceful.

‘My instinct is to have lower taxes on working people.’ ‘But national insurance has increased.’ ‘On businesses… I said working people.’ @nickferrarilbc.bsky.social presses Rachel Reeves to say if there'll be tax rises later this year. The Chancellor refuses to rule it out.

Not once did Vance say “thank you” in that groupchat mind you

Being on this platform is so nice, I love not being surrounded by manic schizophrenics

"russia is a nuclear power" ok?? so are 8 other countries wtf are yall doing then?

You know it’s bad when Germany is the voice of reason

Our one and only ally is that south sudanese rebel militia with whom Ukrainian special forces fought wagner

"It is a hopeless and helpless situation right now.. but it doesn't have to be." American trauma surgeon Feroze Sidhwa tells Matt Frei both the US and UK have the power to help the people of Gaza. Read and watch here:

"The last 15 years have taught us that the UK cannot cut its way to growth... Achieving growth will require rebuilding public services." Leading economists (incl @mazzucatom.bsky.social) urge the Chancellor to avoid spending cuts in the FT today www.ft.com/content/4b0d...

📈 Calls for a redistribution of wealth 📈 Increase in anti-immigration rhetoric Is @mrjamesob.bsky.social onto something with this pattern?

The Green Party co-leader has called for Thames Water to be brought back into public ownership @greenparty.org.uk leftfootforward.org/2025/03/gree...

“Serial perpetrators harm generation after generation of students and junior colleagues.” Too many professors are pursuing their students and causing untold harm, says @annabull.bsky.social of @the1752group.bsky.social: goodlaw.social/xsix

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

I built a Playstacean!

'Rampant profiteering at the expense of other people's distress. Makes me sick.' @matthew-wright.bsky.social is repulsed by the steep rise in hotel room prices after Heathrow Airport's closure.

Stark choice. Reform paid for by oil and gas, corporations & multi billionaires Vs @greenparty.org.uk: tax the super rich, tackle inequality & fund our public services. Join us in Dartford - or wherever you are - and help stop the rise of the far right: Join.greenparty.org.uk

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

AOC: In every single stop that Bernie and I have had in the past couple of days… every single stop has completely blown out all attendance projections.

AOC: We need to be taxing the rich on the floor of the Congress We need to be establishing guaranteed healthcare on the floor of the Congress We need to be passing a living wage on the floor of the Congress

👀 Since elected, Farage has taken off the equivalent of 17 weeks of work on stuff that's nothing to do with his job as an MP www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Yesterday my son set down his fidget spinner in the center of the mosaic floor in the entryway to to National Museum of Ireland, spun it, and then went to watch from his star sign. My Irish friend walked over to his star sign to watch as well and said, “now that’s good craic.”

Stop selling arms to Israel then, and start imposing sanctions.

When has taxing the rich ever worked?

£460 million a week could be raised from a wealth tax. We're in Westminster with @patmillsuk.bsky.social today calling for extreme wealth (£10m+) to be taxed more.

Taxing the rich more is difficult but it's necessary

Labour want to come on Gary’s Economics, should I let them? www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuQI...
