The Iran war should be a lesson for Keir Starmer's Government. If you take a clear line on an issue where the public agree with you then it's your opponents who end up having to back down, not you

In the second half of 2025, one man accounted for almost 40% of all money donated to political parties in the UK: a crypto-billionaire who lives in Thailand. Britain desperately needs to rewrite its party funding rules. observer.co.uk/news/the-sen...

Don't hold back.

Hartlepool Labour councillors threaten to quit party after meeting Steve Reed Guardian reports: Reed said the government would not “reward councils for having high numbers of children in care” and then “dismissed” the discussion by saying: “That’s life.” www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Poor Matt Goodwin. All he ever wanted was to be a hard working MP/academic/tv presenter/commentator/writer/pollster/wealth adviser/women’s health guru and you all ripped that away from him. A shame

Farage - grifting multimillionaire and highest earning MP Tice - family money multimillionaire Yusuf - multimillionaire Jenrick - millionaire Zahawi - multimillionaire But they want to cut the National Minimum Wage down from £12.21 per hour. (It goes up 50p in April.) God, they’re hideous.

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title… “How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work” Way to devalue my experience.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

A reminder to the media and others trying to claim this Government and Starmer are worse than anything they've ever seen, a Government which has only been in power for 19 months. Here's a handly list of the scandals we had to endure from the Tories between 2011-2024.

The more I watch this from Hannah Spencer, two things happen: 1. The more I like it and her. 2. The more it makes me want to get out and do what she says by volunteering. ... I'm surprisingly moved by 2, as I can physically feel it breaking through the armour of scepticism I've built around myself.

Nigel Farage claims that he's fighting the Greens. But for weeks now he's refused to debate me. Reform know Gorton & Denton are ready to vote for the Green Party.

Proper LOLs at Suella Braverman defecting to Reform... The party that’s spent years attacking the Home Office has just welcomed the person who actually ran the Home Office. Brilliant work lads.

Michael Manning is Reform UK’s candidate in the Zetland, Redcar and Cleveland by-election. At this point we would normally point you to his Twitter account, but he deleted it just before his nomination was confirmed. We gathered a good picture of his views, before he did.

Board of Peace - Season 1

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

I assume they’re all narrated by Brian Blessed.

The Government staying on X is pathetic: Ministers need to show some moral backbone inews.co.uk/opinion/the-...

Hang on I thought he’d boycotted the BBC ….😜

I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom. This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.

Just saw the list of gritter names for this year and they have outdone themselves These always make me smile

Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system 1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK 2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc 3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

This is fucking amazing

Politicians and news agencies don’t talk about this enough. We need more working age people otherwise pension age will just keep going up and up.

Is there a way to filter out posts containing a key word? My feed seems to be 95% Trump and I’m not sure I can take much more. 😩

BREAKING: British Green Party membership passes 123000 and approaches 124000; so that is >more than the Conservative Party<! Completely unprecedented. Do spread the word…

Final harvest of the season from my greenhouse. Hard to believe we’re only 2 weeks from November and I’m still picking tomatoes. Batch cooking for the freezer tomorrow! 😋🍅

Most excellent headline 👏👏😀

Twelve Jobs Nigel has earned over £1 million in additional income since the general election. To understand the scale of it, since the July 2024 election he's earned roughly £100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

I was quite surprised, given the amount of negative press that would have you believe that this government is the worst we’ve had yet. I’ll put the link in the next post but given we had a complete shit show with the Tories, this is astonishing. Do reshare or bookmark the link, it’s handy.

Pollution kills all Tees Estuary seal pups Harbour seal pups in Tees Estuary suffer 100% mortality in 2025, prompting MPs to demand a Defra inquiry into the deaths northeastbylines.co.uk/news/environ...

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals. Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What, Michelle? 🧵

Here's a parody adaptation of the classic song "Walking in Memphis" by the soulful Marc Cohn, in which we address Donald Trump's arrival in the UK for his exciting historic second state visit. It's called "Put Up Some Fences" 🎹🎶 youtu.be/1Iag4yaozis?...

Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on £400,000 GB News earnings. Poor attendance record in parliament, collects £94,000 salary+expenses. Has used a trust fund in an offshore tax haven. Previously described people who try to avoid tax as the “common enemy”.

Today, Parliament debated child sexual abuse. Not a single Reform UK MP turned up. The party that constantly rants about “Pakistani" and immigrant gangs - yet when it comes to an actual Commons statement on child rape, they couldn’t be bothered. Hypocrisy doesn’t get more blatant than this.

Reform UK: “Free speech! You can’t say anything these days!” Also Reform UK: “You’re banned from reporting on our council because we don’t like what you said.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Delicious home grown tomatoes. One tomato (600-700g each) is big enough for several meals, but I wish my other varieties would hurry up and ripen too.

The best feeling in the world The days are long and we have so many challenges with the street dogs. But nothing will ever beat this feeling.

This doesn't mean the state pension is unaffordable, or that it's a Ponzi scheme - it's covered by taxation on a "pay as you go" basis in the same way as every other state pension scheme in the world.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts. The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative. Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.
