One can only imagine the horrors of living in a country in which political debate in media is in general permitted only within quite strict and strikingly right wing, reactionary boundaries.

‘Report your lgbtq co-workers’. Not just ‘t’ - the whole community. Transphobia is how they win an election but homophobia (and misogyny) is what will inevitably follow when they do.

The US just voted alongside Russia, Belarus and North Korea against a UN resolution to support Ukraine. This is a wake-up call for all those cheerleading Trump in our country.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)

Spot the difference. Two Newsnight backdrops. One for warmongering Starmer,trying their best to make him look good. And then the one for Corbyn,trying their best to make him look bad. Our media is just a government propaganda tool. Enough to make you puke. 🤮

"As the lawyer for some of the UK victims of Tate’s alleged crimes, I find this development, if true, equally bizarre and outrageous... The US shouldn’t be interfering based on Elon Musk’s political whims and predilections and the money Tate makes for him on X." ~AA

Starmer will try to show that everything is fine with US. The line will be that they came to give us a scolding & now we're stepping up. He will exploit these mercurialities as long as possible to maintain a (fake) united Western front & give the UK a traditional bridging role between EU/US.

When they say 'And now the tea-time news with Clive Myrie' I expect news about what we might be having for tea - not all this political nonsense.

This new wrinkle in the Assisted Dying Bill isn't at all controversial, since we know from long experience that every single British prime minister is always above reproach, so it is 100.00% safe to give them this sort of power over death itself. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945. The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.

Racism, sexism, & contempt for the public in a scandalous WhatsApp group leak, desperate attempts to display the deportation of as many vulnerable people as possible, & yet another borders bill. To think we voted for change. #r4today

That's right Liz, it was the plastic straws that lost Tories the election. Not the lies, corruption, incompetence, law breaking, higher taxes, tanked economy, increased poverty, sleaze scandals or rivers full of shit.

One of the many offensive things in politics - and it's under both Tories/Labour - is MPs sacked as ministers for offensive conduct but remain MPs. Labour are still happy for this man to represent them but not people challenging poverty. Speaks volumes. www.bbc.com/news/article...

There are no words to express the level of stupidity this represents. Denser than lead! It's very, very simple: you CANNOT have both strong security AND backdoors. The two are 100% mutually incompatible. If this goes ahead, we can wave goodbye to mobile banking and thousands of other things.
