The Times calls Keir Starmer's decision to hire Peter Mandelson an "egregious error" which deserves an "inquiry into the appointment process." Not included is any demand for an inquiry into their own appointment of him, long after his post-conviction relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was exposed

Just beyond parody at this point

Nigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister. Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed

This is what we face - no-one in the MSM will ever challenge Farage on anything.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre.... So agree that as large as the political scandal is it feels so uncomfortable diverting all this energy towards it - somehow the victims get more and more lost in the mire

Shocked and stunned! - Liz you’re up next love - home is calling…

Suella Braverman becomes the latest Tory MP to defect to Reform UK. “I feel like I’ve come home,” she tells a rally of people who can't wait to be in power so they can deport anyone whose parents weren't born in this country.

After Nigel Farage hinted that more leading influential Conservatives would defect to Reform UK, Suella Braverman has just joined the Party – so maybe she knows who Nigel meant

Everything is awful but the creativity behind some of these handmade posters gives me a glimmer of hope in humanity.

This perfectly demonstrates the pernicious nature of BBC two-sidism. It almost always benefits the side with the most power. In this case that's the side which is murdering peaceful protesters in the street, on camera, and then lying about it

With the US president saying Nato/British troops stayed "off the front line" in Afghanistan, Nigel Farage won't want British voters being reminded that he called Donald Trump "the bravest man I have ever met."

14 of the 457 British armed forces who died in Afghanistan who according to Donald Trump; "stayed a little back, off the front lines"...

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

This has touched a national nerve - everyone in this country will be feeling outrage (apart from Farage - expertly trolled by James today - who thinks Trump is the bravest person he ever met). Heartbreaking listening and heart goes out all those families today

Europeans are rightfully angry. "We've never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them." Trump made that remark about NATO allies in Afghanistan in Davos. "They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines."

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social there’s a reason why i stopped watching bbc news years ago - today Gary O’Donoghue frames Trump’s obviously unhinged ,demented, incoherent and rambling speech as him ‘having a reflective afternoon’. truly pathetic to report it this way - do better

I am still astonished that ANY person on planet earth would choose to vote for that asshole. The most infantile, petulant, ridiculous, farcical, ignoramus to ever exist. The sheer stupidly of it all is what galls me the most. The stupidity.

He thinks revenge is leadership and trolling is governance. Stop the #MadKing

A most eloquent thread.

Reform is a protest party (that isn't entirely sure what its protesting against any more) that is run on the whims and hot air of a man who wanted to leave the EU to get cardboard passports back. We should not be in this situation, but we are, and Labour needs to confront not copy.

History always has a lesson.

Word of the day is ‘bugiard’ (17th century): one who distorts the truth beyond all recognition to fit their own agenda.

“Home-growns”mean any of us. And with no guarantee of due process and administrative incompetence, this could be life sentences in El Salvador for any of us.

Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

Fascism is happening in front of your eyes. You can call it that or not - I don't give a fuck - but that is what it is.
