On Sky Politics Hub, the whole budget was framed as if somehow the most consequential thing was the OBR accidentally publishing figures an hour early. There are 50 things in there more salient to viewers. I see no way to justify it editorially, other than to construct a hostile narrative. Poor.

On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism". These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia. 1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine. 2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague. 3. Russia pays everyone for everything. 4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

📌They appease Vladimir Putin and come after Mark Kelly. Traitors. All of ‘em.

Do you know if anybody has put in FOIA requests to BOP regarding Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to the low security prison?

Are those "MANY GREAT LEGAL SCHOLARS" in the room with you right now, Piggy?

I’d have thought nothing cuts more against our precious British values than selling out your country for Russian bribes… And yet Reform, the right‑wing press, and all those self‑styled guardians of these values have nothing to say …funny that.

Genius

If this is the public statement then imagine what was being said in private channels. The drafting of this is so careful, the signatures so universal, you don’t have to be a diplomat to read between the lines.

“ICE is just targeting brown people who have an accent, snatching people out of their cars” Racial profiling is all they do

🤔 Food for thought

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!” --Megyn R. Kelly “Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!” --Also Megyn R. Kelly

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

🔉What dangers does X pose to our democracy? And should the government stop using it? Good to hear yesterday from @sundersays.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on the immense risk of X as it ignores legal obligations and its owner tries to influence UK politics. @commonswec.parliament.uk

X is a radicalisation machine that pushes people into angry extremism, peddles disinformation and conspiracy theories and is run by an egomaniacal lunatic who threatens civil war on our streets and wants to trash our democracy. It does nothing but harm. So, yes. Government should stop using it.

BBC apologises to President Trump over that Panorama edit but refuses to pay compensation www.bbc.com/news/article...

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Yesterday I went to Hull.

“A sustained campaign of anti-migrant rhetoric is fuelling a growing cesspool of racism, including against international and ethnic minority nursing staff, without whom our health and care system would simply cease to function.” How disgraceful. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

omg

Have to say.. very tired of this now. We all know Brexit is a shitshow. Nothing is better. No one is happier. No one who really cared about our country or understood how anything actually worked would do this and then stand around scratching their heads at the mess.

NARRATOR: “To no one’s surprise, Karoline Leavitt did not check back on that.”

This is the kind of investigation James Comer was made for…

No boat crossings at all in the last 7 days. The BBC hasn’t sent this to our phones as breaking news.

One of those calls you don’t forget in a hurry… www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9Kz...

YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP. Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people ...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business" It's £10ph FFS! Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger DO YOU SEE IT NOW? Spread far & wide. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/03/n...

Cut benefits, cut minimum wage, raise retirement age, means test pensions, get rid of the NHS. Why are you voting for Farage?

Absolute perfection. #Reform

She did get the estate agent to deal with this. The estate agent in their own words screwed up! Daily fail tried to sling mud and it’s ended up splatting them!

No candidate in a red rosette takes their nanny doorstepping that's for sure...

From the details now available, I suspect Rachel Reeves’ husband has a) been frantically searching his email history & b) just breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'" I've saved her some time.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

American farmers be like, “this is what I voted for”. 🥴

Updating my LEGO White House

The WH steals people’s property constantly and never asks permission. Another example of Trump acting like a king.

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

York MP calls on royal family to explain source of £12m Virginia Giuffre payment

A perfect start to the day. #Withernsea

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

No evidence. No riots. Ted Cruz is deeply damaged, dishonest trash.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings
