Jesus Christ. When was the last time you heard anyone say something like this?

This is what a real leader looks like!!

James Cleverly says that this weekend Keir Starmer "really hasn't put a foot wrong."

Thank you for this brilliant series of posting on this platform

Thank goodness for that

Maybe if Polish presidents had worn more suits /s

Well done to those leaders trying to support #Ukraine in this Trump inspired mess.Well done but let it not be at the expense of UK International Aid budget 🙏

Goodwin is a disgusting apologist for tyrants.

They call it balance!

The morning after the election on 5th November last year

I’m ashamed

Every Day in every way

I’m sorry but this isn’t getting enough attention. When RFK Jr. was asked about a young child who died of measles in Texas, he responded “It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time.” This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.

Congratulations Thom

There are calls for Lord Eric Pickles to resign from the House of Lords he complained to the Grenfell Inquiry that he was missing important lunches. Like if he needs to resign. RT if he needs to be fired.

Is this the finding out part?

Worth saying that while his sentence has been suspended, it is still a custodial sentence - so he is still subject to a recall petition which is likely to trigger a by-election in Runcorn and Helsby www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Whilst net immigration in 2024 is far lower than in 2023, this isn't the end of the story. Immigration has continued to fall throughout 2024 and so the 2025 net immigration figures will be significantly lower than 2024 even if no further restrictions are introduced.

This is horrendous Heaven help the decent people of America

When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat. I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza. "Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land." BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

This is real. And I have never seen the competence, morals, standards and communication strategy of any government collapse so fast.

The start of good things to come for NHS dentistry from @labouruk.bsky.social? I’ll look forward to plans progressing. No one should live in a dental desert! 🦷🪥

Well unusually we can agree

Hear hear. It must have been really hard but it is such a brilliant gesture of solidarity against men who treat women as their playthings

#standwithUkraine

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

#standwithUkraine

I’ve just blocked someone on here. He would have seen from my bio we have totally opposing values and nothing in common Just looked like he wanted to troll. No thank you!

I agree and I don’t think Keir Starmer should even think of acting as a mediator. All of Europe should stand firmly with Ukraine

It’s terrifying Trump is the dictator #standwithUkraine

As a breast cancer survivor, I’m backing NHS England’s drive to improve uptake of breast screening. Going to my screening saved my life. It might save yours too.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

"It is well-known that most of the mainstream media do not approach a Labour Government in a neutral way. Some blatantly misrepresent what is happening, but more often they simply do not report activity, leaving people with a sense that the government is doing nothing."

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

I reckon we, and Western civilisation, will get on just fine

Great to spend national campaign weekend with some of our brill Local Election 2025 candidates, speaking to residents about @labouruk.bsky.social’s plans to make work pay! Thanks to our @labourunionsuk.bsky.social friends for their support! @unisonnorthern.bsky.social @uniteneyh.bsky.social

As someone who loves the North East where I live I share your pain and sadness
