He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

From Rasmus Jarlov, chair of Denmark’s Defence Committee:

This is the thanks we get for lavishing him with a full state visit - more racist lies and smears about our capital city and its mayor. I assume the condemnation from Starmer will be coming any moment now?

Trump's UN speech was an embarrassing shitshow that brought disgrace upon the United States. Congrats, America.

Solid chance he doesn't know where he is

Trump has humiliated the United States on the global stage again

Trump's rambling, deranged speech at the UN is one of the most embarrassing rhings I've ever seen. I'm not reposting any of, because I just can't. The faces of the UN assembly members ays it all. The joke's over. Get this silly old rotting senile pedophile off the workd stage.

Breaking News 🚨 Trump tells the truth. "We have a lot of stupid people in this country running things."

Every election is a sort of collective entrance exam into the future. It occasionally happens that populations fail the exam. But for the US to fail essentially a resit of its 2016 exam, featuring the same questions, having studied the answers for eight years, is much rarer and pretty unforgivable.

Will There Ever Be Another You by Patricia Lockwood review – long Covid from the inside

Labour are ignoring the WHO guidance

In private eye last week and Labour still have the same guidance in place in our hospitals 5 years on. We are still handwashing for a predominantly airborne virus.

Small boats: TV coverage - day after day after day after day.... PPE scandal: TV coverage - let's stick this powerful, enraging documentary on at quarter past ten on a Sunday night.

Kamala Harris: "We used to compare the strength of our democracy to communist dictators. That's what we're dealing with right now in Donald Trump. And these titans of industry and not speaking up ... at some point they've gotta stand up."

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

Trump: "I think I can say there are certain groups of people that don't take vaccines and don't take any pills that have no autism. Does that tell you something? Is that a correct statement, by the way? ... I'm not so careful with what I say."

Politico - the Lib Dems have "quietly ditched their 2045 net zero target — instead aligning with the Labour government’s 2050 agenda." "Members passed a little-noticed motion during...over the weekend replacing the target that has been in place since 2019." It will now become official policy.

Labour have branded Nigel Farage’s migration attacks "unfunded, unworkable and falling apart in real time." And the classic: "Unserious". They seem very reluctant to say "immoral" or "wrong".

This is an extraordinary piece of telly. Utterly damming of the corruption of the last Conservative Government - and of our political and legal systems which have failed even to aspire to holding those chancers to account. Available to watch on ITVX. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Keir Starmer’s spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farage’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is “unworkable” and “unfunded”. So his objection is that they’ve got their sums wrong

they're not even bringing a knife to a gun fight. they're bringing one of those joke guns which fires out a hankie reading "Bang" except it doesn't read "Bang" it reads "he's right, vote for us", this metaphor doesn't work at all I know I'm just really fucking mad okay

Reform's plans aim to destroy this country They're willing to plough through the people I love and call friends in order to raze this country to the ground This cannot stand

Yet again, Farage is the shit stain on the face of my country He goes abroad to spread his lies and now he's spreading lies here as well, with a well oiled media at his back This cannot stand At a bare minimum people should complain to their MPs at the government's disappointing response

I've kept telling you, you cannot cede any ground to them

Ed Davey at Lib Dem conference Q&A, asked about the far right: "No doubt there were some people on the [Tommy Robinson] protest who were big followers of his. Robinson wants a far right agenda which sows division and hatred, and we should oppose that with every bone in our body, & all we stand for."

Ed Davey: "Elon Musk is a danger to this country...He said civil war is inevitable...He said our democratically elected government should be overthrown. He's incited violence "He isn't interested in Britain and the British people. He's interested in his own economic interest, his own bank account."

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

“Cambodia and Armenia …. think about that”

Proud to contribute frontline testimony to tonight's enraging @itvx.com documentary "The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money". Boris Johnson's govt squandered £8.7 billion on unusable PPE, while grifters like Michelle Mone made millions. Tonight, 10.15pm, ITV1. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

“If you want bases, we are ready to fight you for another 20 years,” Afghan Defense Minister Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid warned America in response to Trump’s demand to take over Bagram Airbase. Afghans have “never accepted foreign troops on their territory” he said in an address.

Funny thing going around American FB.

#Butterflies giving this one another go. This is what I would like to see any UK leader espousing. We need a new approach to our politics, one explicitly reinforcing Democracy & Universal Human Rights & taking on those who seek to undermine the former & remove the latter. #DumpTrump Foil #Farage

He could list every "unfair" joke any comedian made about him on network television in the last hour, but apparently he knows nothing about his Border Czar filmed taking brown paper bags of cash bribes all over every news channel.

Absolutely. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’m only surprised this headline didn’t finish with ‘and why this is all good for Nigel Farage’

I have rarely seen such unadulterated bollocks. I loved Twitter, it was so important for my job. Then a mad megalomaniac took it over and made it so no one would see my posts unless I paid him money - and even if I did that I would be submerged in nazi hate. But yeah this is our fault.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "Al Gore's nonsense is exactly what got us in this position. He started peddled climate nonsense 20 years ago -- the arctic was gonna have no ice anymore 10 years ago! Well, this year we had well more ice than we had 10 years ago in the arctic."

Crockett: "If I had one issue with the Biden/Harris administration, it is the fact that they did not move forward and make sure that this man was put where he should've been put ... I never had a defended that had 34 convictions for felonies and did not spend one day in jail. Never in my life."

Donald Trump boasts that he ended the war between “Azerbaijan and Albania". Azerbaijan and Albania have never been at war together.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

This reminds me of the time I visited you three @iammardikins.bsky.social @nickynoo007.bsky.social @colonelescargot.bsky.social
