BREAKING: This Trump / Epstein statue to honor “friendship month” was mysteriously placed on the national mall. I love it. Don’t stop talking about Epstein.

Reform hold a press conference every Monday, for which they trail a policy announcement in that morning’s papers. Given Monday is a slow news day, that often means they lead the papers – and so the breakfast shows, and so they set the agenda for the week. It’s a good trick, but easy to counter!

I have defended the BBC again and again. No more.

BREAKING: Eric Swalwell just told the FCC chairman to hire a lawyer and preserve records because they will be held accountable in 2027 when democrats take the House. Oh and he’s wearing a Jimmy Kimmel hat.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

Democracies don't have some god-given right to prevail. Great nations can descend into autocracy, and more - throughout history - great civilisations have been known to crumble practically overnight. 80 years of peace and relative prosperity have lulled millions into believing it all immutable.

So good to see Stevenage decking the town in preparation for the kick-off of the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup tomorrow. 🏉 Well done lads! The ladies appreciate your support. 🙌

More of this sort of thing please

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

Having one SEND and one mainstream kid is hilarious. For one, you get constant reminders school attendance is key for your child to fulfil their potential. Take them out you’re fined. For the other, you literally have to threaten legal action to make the local authority provide education at all

I’m so ashamed my government is comfortable with making its people feel this way

Need to tell my boss it’s not happening today then

71 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. After generations of struggle and sacrifice, the supreme law of the land finally bent toward hard-won justice.

Wealthy nations, what's your excuse now? Get it done.

Can it be in the wrestling ring?

Mike Waltz has left the chat.

This is a moral moment in America. Sitting on the Capitol steps with Leader Hakeem Jeffries this morning to discuss what’s at stake with Trump’s budget and affirm the need for collective action to protect Medicaid, food assistance, and other safety net programs. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

SELL, MORTIMER, SELL!

What privatisation has done to you.

The resistance is growing.

@jworrellwrites.bsky.social that you??

CAMHS have declined to help my son. It seems you’re not allowed to be autistic and have mental health needs at the same time in the UK. 🤬🤬🤬

This stock market crash thing is so confusing. On one hand you have every economist and bank in the free world freaking out. On the other, there are some blue check accounts on Twitter with ancient statues as their profile pics doing 20 part threads on why down is the new up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s obvious what Trump’s doing, the huge short, disaster capitalism on a big scale. Why? Also obvious, huge profits for him and his billionaire associates. How do I know? It’s happened here twice. Meanwhile, CEOs build compounds because civil war is guaranteed. youtu.be/BTSnojxvnEM
