In advertising we used to call that the “duck”. Where you’d make a good ad but stick a duck in it. So the client would be like “yeah we love everything else but can you take the duck out, not sure re the duck?” And you’d go “oh ok thats a shame but if you’re sure, we can make it work with no duck”

@lbc.co.uk The original 1977 Likud party platform stated that “between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.” This is the Israeli-sovereignty version of the “river to the sea” formulation. For Sheila’s information

Thank you @seizeday.bsky.social I appreciate the shoutout, my friend 💙🫶 @mlipsitt.bsky.social @sandrojanssen.com @donshifs.bsky.social @markgrayson85.bsky.social @petramichaela.bsky.social @lilmudda.bsky.social @docmurphydog.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHQ7...

Quite interesting. It was reported in June 2024 that Sue Gray wanted to immediately close the bars in Parliament as a statement of intent of Starmer’s post-partygate anti-sleaze drive. Naturally such low-hanging fruit went unplucked m.youtube.com/shorts/4P1l9...

The difference between Richard Tice and Angela Rayner is that Tice knew exactly what he was doing. Rayner was in completely uncharted waters relying on the wisdom of others.

Quite.

@cnn.com seems to be covering more sport than world news than I’ve come to expect @aljazeera.com on the other hand is covering the key issues with curious journalism.

11,000 Japanese citizens stormed their parliament demanding their PM stop following Trump into war. 82% of Japan opposes this. Protesters surrounded Japan's National Diet building today chanting: "Japan's FUTURE is not in Washington. Stop bootlicking Trump."

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.

A must read FB post from Steve McEachern: (It’s a bit long, but worth it.) I’m Canadian. That means I don’t get a vote in American elections. But don’t get it twisted — I’ve still got skin in this bloody game. When the United States lights the world on fire, the smoke drifts north, 1/21

@nickferrarilbc.bsky.social disgraceful your conversation with Brenda on #palestine #israel #lbc

@nickferrarilbc.bsky.social that’s what you call an expert neutral narrative #sauldavid #israel?

Yesterday, the USA took a step away from fascism www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/02...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@nickferrarilbc.bsky.social how does bombing a alleged nuclear facility (uses of which unproven) stop the regime killing its own people? The IRG didn’t turn against the regime in the last protest. The UsA are happy to leave the regime in charge albeit with some furniture moved see Venezuela.

Al Jazeera English: #Epstein #DOJ #PedoFührer Just believe them.

🌍 I'm deeply shocked (I didn't know, @fulelo.bsky.social), and this was eight months ago! I now realise who's behind the whole Levant and "broader" drive to achieve this Service 'termination' endeavour. On reflection, @ec.europa.eu's Spain and Italy are genuine friends of the #BBCWorldService

This is going in the guest room.

Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

"I used to snort cocaine off toilet seats." Republican Americans must be soooooo proud...

I find it absolutely galling to have read over and over about how the state pension triple lock couldn’t conceivably be overturned/debacle over winter fuel payments while there has been as yet zero political commentary about how exploitative student loans have been for a whole generation.

It’s real! Excited that the paperback of #AnotherEngland is out on 20 Feb - with a new chapter on how the Labour Govt needs to offer meaningful change & tell a far more inspiring, compelling story, if it’s to see off the threat posed by the increasingly populist Right penguin.co.uk/books/453710/a…

No wonder the orange toddler is unhinged once again. The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot. Repost this if you agree they are AMAZING and an inspiration!

It's not just the decision to give public money and public data to a sworn enemy of everything we stand for, appalling though that is. It's also the secrecy and illegal shutting out of any competition. What does Palantir have on Streeting and Starmer - and did Mandelson give it to them?

@lbc.co.uk time to tune out, Rachel Johnson… really?

NORMALIZE CALLING THEM OUT AS PUBLICLY AS POSSIBLE‼️

Rep. Tom Suozzi D-NY Voted to fund ICE Taken >$300,000 from A/PAC

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

SPOILER ALERT: Farage thinks it's okay to murder you for filming fascists. Just imagine what he'll do to the UK if he ever becomes PM.

Do not come to the United States for the World Cup or the Olympics... Do not come to the United States if you value your lives. Boycott the U.S.

Republican Chris Madel announced he’s ending his run for Minnesota governor, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s “stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.”

It is good for my health that I would get kicked out of my apartment if I yelled as much as I really need to. God help us to help ourselves! There are no words other than NO.
