Everyone who's been falling over themselves to jump to Upscrolled might want to think again...

Written by someone who knows him well ... Nigel Farage "is in fact a vindictive, aggressive bully, with a huge chip on his shoulder ..." Just what the UK needs, with his finger on the nuclear button???

I keep thinking I’ve seen it all before and then it turns out I haven’t www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/det...

Sorry to soil my timeline but this did make me laugh…you? Took me a moment… Greg Bovino was asked how he felt about his demotion today. "Well, obviously, I'm not happy", he replied. Someone in the crowd shouted back, "So which one are you?"

Spoke to Shleagh Fogarty yesterday sbout why the Chancellor is wrong: our “student loan” system is not remotely fair. It’s regressive and embedding inter and intra generational wealth inequality. It’s not a loan system, it’s a bad grad tax in all but name. youtu.be/uOC6Arrf2us?...

Your regular reminder that charging extortionate tuition fees at UK universities is a political choice, and a relatively recent one. Studying almost anywhere else in Europe is far cheaper or virtually free.

This is absolutely shocking. Something has to be done about this appalling situation in which so many now find themselves. The government needs to act

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

This weekend we found ourselves in Lichfield, which has always struck me as an odd name for a place.

How is this still happening?

Why is this not on the front page of every international newspaper and the main news on every TV channel?

There's also no way of explaining this to the non-terminally-online without sounding insane. "...and so the penguin is a reference to American far-right memes calling for the US to take over Greenland." "But penguins don't live in Greenland." "I know."

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Video taken prior to his murder shows Alex Pretti peacefully observing, but an ICE officer begins shoving him. Then multiple ICE officers gang up on him. Moments later, his body is riddled with bullet holes.

Can't wait to hear the justification for this murder. ICE is nothing but a paramilitary death squad.

In case you missed it: My suggestion that Farage was whispering to Trump behind the scenes while Trump was going after Greenland has been essentially confirmed. As @jamesdaustin.bsky.social notes: Working against your country's interest with a semi-hostile state - there's a word for that.

I didn't say it. The Germans did.

The Cottesmore Hunt terriermen were caught digging into a badger sett by Northants Sabs yesterday. The terrier was already in the sett, and terrified of being identified, terriermen instead abandoned the terrier deep in one of the chambers, and legged-it from the cameras. ⬇️

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

This week, an X user created an AI video of me being chloroformed and prepared for rape. Victims are told it's not real and they're getting offended for no reason. But nudification tools are weapons of sexual assault, and the harm they cause is real 👇 jessasato.substack.com/p/ai-nudific...

In case you've never seen the best car chase in cinema...

What STILL no comment from Farage about NATO troops who died fighting on America’s behalf, and Trump’s egregious remarks? Must be waiting for the White House to wake up so he can clear his lines.

This u?

Ben Jennings Cartoon in today's Guardian. Brilliant.

Well, I certainly didn't have 'sharing clip of the Tory Shadow Leader of the House' on my to-do-list today. But here he is absolutely going for Farage! And managing to use the word 'bullshiterati' while doing it. It had to be shared!

Keep the requests coming, folks. Actual work is pretty quiet at the moment.

457 British troops. You evil, senile bastard.

My brother fought in the infantry and lost soldiers in Afghanistan. The press used to report deaths before families had been told and I would check my phone over and over, scared it would ring. I went to the inquest of one of his killed men. I saw his red-eyed parents, girlfriend and baby daughter.

Two-thirds of UK over-65s are committed to voting for parties whose overt intention is to make this worse.

It's instructive to go back to this photo, taken ten years ago, and remember that this is what he is, and this is all he ever has been: a man driven by a pathological instinct to be abusive. Nothing has changed; no capacity for grand strategy has accrued to his person. It's cruelty all the way down.

O'Leary was in the 'grabbing headlines by being an asshole' business while Musk was still sitting on Peter Thiel's knee, but we haven't heard much from him lately. This is like a serial killer coming to a small town and discovering there's an older serial killer already here, living the quiet life.

Just to be clear: the President is single-handedly dragging America to economic crisis and war with our closest allies. And why? To conquer an overseas territory that we have no claim to, have never had a claim to, and already have military bases on. Oh, and because he didn’t get a prize.

We had endless articles and TV clips about Biden's mental capacity but silence about Trump's obvious unfitness when he says he's going to start a war with Denmark over Greenland because he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize.

Question in Copenhagen: why is Trump focussed on a Russian threat that doesn't exist (in Greenland) as opposed to one where it does (Ukraine)?

You've got to admit he's good at distracting everyone from the Epstien files, which he is clearly in big time. Up to his weird neck. Look, Greenland! Look Venezuela! Look, Minneapolis! I haven't forgotten about the Epstien files, have you?
