Every nation should treat billionaires like a natural resource and mine them of their riches until exhausted, just like a nice thick seam of coal or a reservoir of oil, then make the spoils available to the nation's citizens. If they crop up again, mine them again.

Does anyone in parliament talk about social care these days?

The Duke is coneless ... I repeat, the Duke is coneless ... this is not a drill ... Can all available Guardians of the Cone please report to their assigned posts as soon as possible to rectify the situation. #glasgow #dukeofwellington #roadcone #glasgowhumour

This morning’s electricity generation. Now imagine a nation with twice the clean energy capacity and most of its transport and heating also electrified. True energy independence. A vision 100% opposed by the Tories and Reform.

Major quilt eye candy incoming. This was pieced by Kris Lescinsky, pattern is Catch Me by Jacqueline DeJong. Took me 5 audiobooks to quilt it, lol.

My 91 year old dad's latest drawing of the garden. I'm so proud.

This HAS to be shared. This is one fucking brutal takedown of an American posting propaganda, it IS a work of art.

The right wing media hounded Labour's Deputy Leader out of office over a possible £40k tax underpayment. I can only imagine their fury now that it seems Refuk's Deputy Leader has avoided £600k in tax. I say 'only imagine' as they'll give him a free pass.

The anti-Trump anthem The liar tweets tonight. Vote him away, vote him away!

With fuel prices going up rapidly, should we maybe consider encouraging more people to take the train where possible as part of the solution? A monthly ticket giving unlimited travel on local and regional transport for example like some other countries have done?

Always been of the opinion that just because Blair was wrong about Iraq does not mean he’s wrong about everything and he deserves a hearing - until now. He was wrong about Iraq and we don’t need hear what he thinks about Iran. Remember Chilcot.

A bold move taking a swing at Yougov, which was founded by one of his shiny new members, Nadhim Zahawi.

The King’s visit in America could be yet more damaging for the Royal Family. His own son’s war contribution insulted, our PM insulted. It might be wiser to cancel it.

The soundtrack/music on BBC’s Lord of the Flies is unbearably loud. Nearly flattened the batteries in the remote turning it up and down. Really great bit of telly but the noise is not necessary.

The state of London though eh?? It’ll all be Sadiq’s fault.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

Hannah Spencer, newly elected MP for Gorton and Denton, said: "Because working hard used to get you something. "But now, what does that get you? "Instead of working for a nice life, we're working to line the pockets of billionaires."

The Farage playbook is so Trumpian. When they win or come a close second (not tonight boyo) it's always 'a political earthquake' and when they lose, it's straight to, 'the game was rigged'. Pathetic populists.

Celebrity literature is a cancer. Signing authors based on their fame rather than talent or creativity is just another modern concentration of wealth and power at the expense of everyone else.

When Norfolk Police ask Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor if he has any special dietary requirements whilst in custody:

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Bedford CC dealing with the bigots like an absolute boss.

Oh do fuck off. All these big business owners are pushing the right wing narrative, as they continue to avoid taxes and mistreat staff. I'm sick of them all.

Jim Ratcliffe, himself a migrant to Monaco to avoid paying his fair share of UK tax, and who supported Brexit which has so damaged the British economy, is yet another millionaire oligarch backing the far right to further line his pockets

It's almost like being fabulously rich doesn't make you happy or well adjusted. It's almost like it makes you sad and lonely. And leaves you forever casting about for scapegoats to offset your deep self-loathing. Thank you Jim Ratcliffe and Elon Musk for these important life lessons.

I agree with Ed. Jim Ratcliffe is a Billionaire who moved his money away from Britain to avoid paying taxes that would pay for the public services he relies upon. Accusing others of ‘draining the state’ only draws attention to his own attempts to extract personal wealth and avoid paying his dues.

More needs to be made of Farage's association with Trump and Epstein. Don't wait for the media to report it, they won't. Labour MPs should bring that up every time they are near TV cameras and microphones.

Poo, Spew, Richer Than You, Cuntface, Dribble, Twat.

This.

The Westminster bubble has shown over the last week how disconnected it’s become from the average people on the street. People aren’t clamouring for Starmer to step down. Instead they’re asking who the media are so silent on Farage? Why they haven’t asked about Farages mentions in the Epstein files

Except he was

FFS Labour. FFS!!

NEW: Dear Washington Post journalists, I’ve written this for you. Last year @theguardian.com gave away our news title & binned 100+ journalists. It sucked! But we fought back & you can too. First a strike, then a new masthead @thenerve.news Fuck Bezos. There is another way 👊👊👊 1/

Farage was banging on about Turkish barbers, so these lads in Glasgow did this. It's in Dumbarton Road, if you fancy a trim.

Some people saw him rape girls when no one was looking. Swings and roundabouts I guess.

Men resigning after the horrors revealed in the Epstein files is NOT justice.

🙀🇬🇧🙀🇬🇧🙀🇬🇧🙀🇬🇧🙀🇬🇧 To all the anti Starmer anti Labour nebbishes on here: This cunt supports rapists, child abusers, racists, dodgy middle eastern countries, Putin, Musk, Robinson, hates us Jews, wants ICE. Etc et bloody c. Your next Prime Minister? you are not a serious person.

Gordon Brown played a blinder during the financial crisis. Little wonder he's pissed off at the conduct of Mandelson at the time. Brown will be history's most unappreciated PM. He was, and is, terrific IMHO.

So let me get this right. There are images of physical abuse and DEATH and no one is being prosecuted?! What the actual fuck. Is there not even the hint of a serious investigation?

Dad has had to go home today because Becky has come into season & is due to be mated.

and no I haven't put the Mandelson-Epstein-Reinaldo scoop on twitter we journalists *can* make Bluesky the place to break news

🙀🇺🇸🙀🇺🇸🙀🇺🇸🙀🇺🇸 Sorry AldiUK - you can stick your ‘American week’ where the sun don’t shine!

A crocodile, that had learned to walk on it's hind legs, Sandy? Running around in the centre Lerwick, snapping at people? Are you sure? Aye Tosh. I'm sure. Spotted him a mile off.

@lbc the last World Cup was in Qatar. Anyone calling for a boycott of USA World Cup is deluded - and maybe letting their racism show? I’m all for a boycott but I know it ain’t happening.

If people in work have to claim benefits to survive, the taxpayer is subsidising the companies they work for.

My parents raised me to never speak ill of the dead. But Donald Trump is still alive, so I'm calling him a cunt now.
