It won't be the 'storm of the century' though, will it. It'll be the first of many similar & worsening storms. This is how Earth is, now.

Trump: "We should have the lowest interest rates of any country, because without us there are no other countries really."

Literally one of the greatest soft power brands on planet earth driven into the ground by successive British governments that embrace failure, decline and irrelevance. on.ft.com/3Wq1XIT

Labour had 14 years to make sure that when they eventually got in, they would make a positive difference. Well look how that turned out. Fuck sake.

Politico: "MPs should consider deleting X, according to a committee led by Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle... "On social media, the report said MPs should feel “empowered to step away from platforms that pose more harm than benefit.” Absolutely. Please get on with it.

Hitler was preoccupied with building his "Volkshalle" (People's Hall) = Ballroom. This was his top priority. The Berliners complained quietly: "We have no bacon, no fat, no eggs, but Hitler has his Reich Chancellery!" www.nytimes.com/1944/02/20/a...

We must make racism disgraceful again. This kind of shameless ugly inadequacy from Pochin should be career-ending, not career-enhancing. Honestly… the Little England nastiness is repulsive.

DOUBLED!!! Absolutely extraordinary. Thank you everyone. This is the movement. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Mehdi Hasan, "Is rejoining the EU a Green Party aim" Zack Polanski, "Yes it is" And just like that, the Green Party have leapfrogged the LibDems

My god. What a desecration.

As long as the Tories were less extreme than Reform I thought better them on the right than the alternative but if they’re going to be another far right party - one with better infrastructure and funding and more MPs than Reform - we should pray for their destruction

Zack Polanski, "1 in 3 children are living in poverty, meanwhile, billionaire wealth goes up collectively by £35 million every day" "It's about making sure we tax wealth, not work"

Glad to hear Keir Starmer is finally making the right decision to attend climate talks. Now let's talk about taxing wealth.

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

“They quietly moved on and chose to ignore the whole situation. Why did they do that? Because their specific authoritarianism runs exclusively on fumes of rage8, and joy and organisation is kryptonite to them.” www.bearlypolitics.co.uk/p/the-revolu...

Good article👇“The youngest pension contributors won’t retire for another 40 or 50 years. Pension fund managers + other long-term asset owners have a fiduciary responsibility to protect the interests of beneficiaries decades into the future - not least by acting against long-term climate risks.“ 1/x

Europe, the UK, Canada, Japan and Ukraine need to cut out Trump from any further negotiations about Ukraine, because Trump represents Putin & not the West.

While the Queen was on the throne, it was a different matter. With her passing it's time to ask - perfectly reasonably - who the institution of monarchy serves and whether this one family should rule over us all in perpetuity... with almost zero accountability www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

JD Vance shelled himself. You couldn't make it up.

Thank you, Congressman, for your steadfast support of #Ukraine. You make excellent points.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

More evidence that the #climate emergency affects *everything* - it should be front & centre of ALL government decisions. As well as serious adaptation (petition here petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7300…) Govt must urgently stop making things worse eg greenlighting high carbon airport expansion

Margaret Thatcher recognised the need to provide asylum for refugees, as well as the need to distinguish them from immigrants. No hope of that from her successors, of course. Ian Gow MP (Thatcher's PPS) to Tony Marlow MP 23 August 1979:

I was on a sinking ship once. The atmosphere on board was considerably more jovial than thus. True story.

Amid the madness, one voice rose above the rest. Heseltine: principled, pro-EU, and unafraid to speak truth. “The tide is turning. Most people now believe it was a mistake to leave Europe”. Lord Heseltine: The Voice of Reason in an Age of Madness 2025 youtu.be/4fKoGoY7cKg

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality. They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

Same. #AlsoTiredOfWaitingForTheEPSTEIN_Files

Every local authority has been cut to the bone for years – this is common knowledge - but Grimey and his Reform chums swore blind that £millions were being wasted through incompetence and laziness. DOGE found fuck all - welcome to reality, dickhead.

President Macron: “We were very naive to leave our public space to social media networks controlled by US or Chinese companies that don’t share our interests and not interested in survival of our democracies.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=MggN...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

"Milei is amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing. That's leadership" - Nigel Farage Milei would be the "template" for my government - Kemi Badenoch

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

This gentleman is speaking at a #VirginiaBeach school board or council meeting, not sure, but he is spot on about what is happening at the local level. Elections have consequences and it starts with local elections #TheSmellOfRot #ElectDemocrats #DV1 #ProudBlue

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.
