Reform giving us some much needed light relief. 5 nasty little grifters, cobbled together with prejudice and plastic patriotism, are at each other’s throats because Lowe’s ego (boosted by Musk on X) has clashed with Farage’s. If you think these numbnuts could run the country, you’re off your head.

Our political system is broken - public trust is at an all-time low, and abuse in politics is rising. Change is only possible if we work together. Sign our open letter to MPs and demand a better politics for all! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/he...

It's very emblematic of the quality of Trump enterprises and his own personal judgements. I wonder if he realises just how disliked he is in the world?

In Trump’s SOTU address, he claims to be chosen by god and says he’ll take Greenland “one way or another”, “reclaim” Panama, impose punitive tariffs, end “wokeness”… A masterclass in wild egomaniacal bullshit and ugly threat, delivered to standing ovations. Christ America. You’ve completely lost it.

Dear Europe: You are next on the hit list. Good arguments, preemptive concessions, appeals to friendship, and flattery will not protect you. Discard those fantasies and prepare to hit back hard.

It's weird how TASS accidentally gets in, but they're sure about keeping AP and Reuters out. Either we have a national security issue that is so painfully basic they should fire everyone involved, or they're lying.

Agreed and just like last time he came over, I shall be demonstrating against the toxic tangerine numpty! 😊

Eric got it…

search.app/TWWj This is another royals con-trick. Lloyds is offering loans. Far from being a positive it will increase charity debt levels while Will/Kate - as the wealthy privileged - should be investing something of their own vast unearned fortune instead! Disgraceful!

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

youtube.com/watch?v=uqfH... Trump is one sick bag of excrement....he's defo mad as a march hare!

Tory warmonger Cartilage calls for cuts in disability benefits to pay for defense spending. Tories feed on conflict like pigs at the trough, but never face the consequences of their greed. #ukpolitics

Result- 80% of German voters said no to the AfD and Elon Musk!

In the light of this announcement, worth quoting my favourite exposition of this 🧪 point from more than a century ago — it isn’t a new argument! (I particularly like the footnote!)

Yes it has been a shocking turn of events. As I age, the capacity of the public at large to demonstrate their ignorance and indifference no longer surprises me!

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

'The Tower and the City' (1985) by David Gentleman davidgentleman.com

I had to borrow this to share with you all. It is right on point! 😅

goodshepherdcollective.org/posts/2025/0... What a disgusting turn of events. Ethnic cleansing by Israel accelerates...

Starmer: I am ready and willing to put British troops in Ukraine search.app/D1YY Another hapless authoritarian leader happy to put our forces in harms way for no good reason at all while he sits in his tower in considerable comfort. Parliament MUST be allowed to vote on this.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are

Dear Cornish people, if you don’t stand up and oppose the 16 SEZs that are being installed right now in Cornwall, you can expect to see all public services privatised and absorbed by private equity, corporate taxes unpaid while ordinary citizens taxes are hiked>

Why did Peter Thiel of Palantir say "The NHS Makes People Sick" But the truth is Peter Thiel, and right-wing libertarians like him are the sickness that is hollowing out democracies around the world. Please follow and subscribe to my Substack europeanpowell.substack.com/p/why-did-pe...

The following pages have been removed from the CDC website. This used to be known as censorship. Not sure what the new word is.

The flip side of MAGA is MEWA (make Europe weak again). MEWA involves MAGA backing far right nationalists; breaking us apart. Trump understood that with Brexit. Musk & the rest also know it now. European nations are only strong in solidarity with each other. Alone, we are chickenfeed.

EU medicines agency quits X & moves to Bluesky "EMA will no longer post updates and content on X. We believe the X platform no longer suits our communication needs” the agency said in a statement www.reuters.com/world/europe...

A nice easy theme for #Day27 of #JanuArty, as I love using #red - such a vibrant colour! This is a rag rug, made from material samples which would have been thrown away, had I not rescued them. All 4,500 strips of fabric were hand-cut & knotted on individually 😊
