Swiss Olympic bobsled commentator broke a century of neutrality and spent the entire run of the Israeli bobsled team recounting all the pro-genocide remarks and social media posts by Adam Edelman, one of the apartheid state athletes. Absolute legend. More of this in sports please!

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

New logo just dropped.

Urgent witness appeal following the death of 65yo Nick Stone in Bristol after contact with police where he ended up on the ground at an antifascist counterdemonstration against the far right Bristol Patriots on 10th January 2026.

1804. Oceans are now Battlefields. In the South China Sea a British convoy worth almost £1bn today is spotted by the French. It should be a massacre. Instead, Commodore Nathanial Dance is about to defeat a French battle squadron using some paint and the most overplayed hand in #navalHistory. /1 🧵

When Prince Harry was serving his country in Afghanistan, he was known as Harry Windsor. When Prince Andrew was striped of his titles for disgracing himself he was given the name Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. Why the pompous addition of Mountbatten?

I never really sign stuff. But this was different. It's not about trying to facilitate or block a particular party's route to power. It's about an electoral system that's unsuited to the political realities we face today and risks giving us government after government with no convincing mandate.

"WE'VE ARRESTED TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE BY MISTAKE"

(not my cat)

Article in Guardian about ongoing evils of lobbying! Simply solved- make MPs adhere to the laws the rest us follow. No bribes of any sort! Penalty for minor infringement- stripped of being an MP. Major breach = prison.

I mean, you can’t draw any other conclusion other than Zahawi (himself an immigrant) is anything other than an utter imbecile.

Europe should restart negotiations with Russia over Ukraine. The United States shouldn’t be allowed to keep pressuring everyone and benefiting from all sides while contributing very little.

✅ Reeves is right. 🇪🇺 Alignment with the EU will boost growth in both the UK and the EU. 🔄 Proximity matters. 📈 The EU is a reliable partner. More than that they are our largest trade partners. https://www.politico.eu/article/rachel-reeves-rebuilding-eu-ties-boost-british-economy/

Jamie Raskin Reveals Trump’s Name Shows Up in Unredacted Epstein Files ‘More Than a Million Times’

I'm going to try a new curry recipe. Chicken Tarka Massala. It's like Chicken Tikka Massala.... ...but a little 'otter!

I lived in a houseboat for a while, and started seeing the girl next door. Eventually we drifted apart.

If Epstein & Bannon where running this type of operation in Paris, what kind of operation where they running in London? Now if we only had political journalists with the capabilities to investigate such a threat to our democracy!

Oh boy.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

For 24 hours, my Bsky feed wasn't 90% US politics. I never thought I'd write this but "Thanks Mandelson". Then Superbowl happened, and we're back to business as usual. I really need to manage who I follow better!

#YesWeCan, America, #YesWeCan. We just have to want it badly enough...

It took considerable courage for the jury in the Palestine Action trial to ignore the demands to convict from the judge, government, police and media and instead to weigh the actual evidence. My latest sets out why jurors were right to reject all the bullying: www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2026-02...

I’m not a Starmer fan (#KennySteamer) but if you’re going to pull his government and party to shreds investigating alleged wrongdoing then subject Farage and his vanity project to the same investigations.

I'm no criminal mastermind but, if I wanted to shoplift something and then slip quietly into the crowd without detection, I probably wouldn't pick '29 things with bells on' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKIN ‘ELL

"It also links Farage to one of the most controversial figures in modern American politics" If we want to start highlighting dodgy links and shady practices, lets start with Farage and Manafort. Our MSM stays silent as usual when Farage is involved. bylinetimes.com/2026/01/15/n...

Not only was Manafort Trump’s former campaign chair, jailed for financial crimes after investigations into his Kremlin-aligned influence operations – to lobby the president on Bitcoin policy, but he also acted for the Russian backed candidate in the Ukraine Presidentials prior to Zelensky

Um.

Spain’s PM: “The time of hiding behind servers is at an end.”

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

Just a reminder that the Tories were more than happy for Johnson to appoint Lebedev to the Lords against the advice of the security services. Consequences? Zero, of course. But its always been one rule for them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-poli...

"For much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

The "Protect Our Kids" mob seem to be pretty quiet about all their heroes associating with a convicted nonce.

"The Department of Justice thinks its job is done. It's not pursuing people in this," says Emily Maitlis "It's saying, 'well, we said we'd release the files. There you go.' Hands off" Will there be prosecutions for people named in the Epstein Files? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/plea...

Congratulations, you are being rescued. Please do not resist

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

Another way Trump is hurting Ukraine and helping Russia in order to hasten Trump/Putin business operations. Temps in Kiev -68F (-20C) but the USA is stalling the aid. Despicable. I believe it all started in 1980s when Russia was "happy" to fund a failed bankrupt who would launder their money.

Alexa, stop taking bloody notes!

The ideology of the Right- Masks to hide the identity of thuggish bullies: Good Masks to save lives during a pandemic: Bad

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

These are, again, not law enforcement. They are armed, masked thugs. Approaching her with guns drawn, we’ve already seen they will kill people at the slightest provocation, or no provocation at all. This woman was very fortunate.

The nazis redistributed the stolen property of deported Jews to the German population. It was called Aryanization. This is no different. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryaniz...

Here’s the problem… Feelings started trumping facts Stewart Lee put it perfectly when we met him…

Am I the only one that doesn't care at all that Sarah Ferguson asked #Epstein for a cup of tea? Can the #BBC focus on the people that victims have actually accused of sex crimes?

Republicans set fire to the 1st and 2nd Amendments for Donald Trump. Masked agents murdering civilians and arresting journalists aren't things that happen in America, until now.
