Who else thinks Zelenskyy should get the Nobel Peace Prize 🤞🤞🤞

It is very difficult to think of anything Trump has done this year that does not denigrate the USA’s staunchest allies and delight their once shared enemies, most obviously Vladimir Putin. And apart perhaps from Mark Carney, Western politicians are not rising to the unprecedented challenge he poses.

@robwords.bsky.social @jesszafarris.bsky.social Just listening to the latest podcast. Re muster, monster etc., I once worked (briefly) for a UK clothing company that had a sample shop in the Netherlands. The Brits were highly amused that in Dutch this was called a Monsterwinkel.

This time of year is so bloody expensive… Must be those bloody migrants again Making our food shops extortionate Rinsing us for heating our homes Privatising the shit out of our childcare Creaming off our mortgages and rent Bastards.

EUROPE IS UNDER SERIOUS THREAT FROM PUTIN AND TRUMP’S AMERICA! We need to strengthen Europe by being a part of it not sitting on the sidelines. Brexit is killing us economically and is putting our peace and security at risk. WE DEMAND BREXIT IS UNDONE!

The Trump administration's foreign policy strategy attacks allies including the UK & has been enthusiastically greeted by the Kremlin. Last month, the USA announced a 'peace deal' the Kremlin had written. And in the UK, the media is full of people still wibbling about 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'.

Jonathan Bullock, Julia Reid and Steven Woolfe named in new CPS probe in to Russian Bribes. All Nigel Farage’s MEPs. www.theguardian.com/politics/202... #ReformRussianBribes

Oh look. They’ve actually drawn a diagram for all the people stupid enough to need a bloody diagram.

When enough fellow pupils to fill a class all have first hand stories of Farage’s racism, love of Hitler and anti Jewish sentiment, the balance of probability falls squarely in their favour. He is what they describe. Journalists……do your job! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It’s really simple… - Cap all political donations - Ban foreign donations - Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties - No titles, honours or peerages for donors - No govt contracts for donors - Publish every donation/lobby meeting …that’ll do it.

I won’t be watching the World Cup. Corrupt FIFA licking corrupt Trump’s arse makes me puke.

One day the specifics of the Farage/Russia connection will be laid bare. Until then, all we have are the words that come out of his own mouth.

The only principled stance is to punish Russia into retreat: militarily, economically, diplomatically. Let the future imperialists see what becomes of invaders.

It's a mark of our moral disintegration that there's even a discussion about Ukraine giving up land. To even countenance it is to reward colonialism.

The election of Farage to a position of power would reduce Britain to the same level of shit show the US has become.

@pimlicat: "The PM is saying what Brits have known for years, that Brexit was sold to them on false promises. Young people have been at the sharp end of a Brexit they didn't vote for, which has taken away freedoms that other generations took for granted." https://bit.ly/48MjK3J

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Stunned. What WERE the chances?

What angers me as much as the flag shaggers putting up Union flags all over our town again is that the flags are not removed. Our town is made ugly, the people uncomfortable and nervous by a few racists thugs. Letting then get away with it is criminal in my view.

Oi you, person of Christian values… “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself” Leviticus 19:33–34 Still feeling holy?

Why this matters: Martin Shipton, Nation Cymru: "Wales is Reform’s next big target… if they [win the Senedd next May] it will make the national Reform party flush with taxpayers’ cash." (quote from @thenerve.news) Reform run Kent has already disappeared £40 million. Wales would be much more.

Remember when Brexiters were reduced to pretending that pint bottles of champagne represented a major win?

EXCLUSIVE Racist Offended by Accusations of Racism. Expressing his frustration that he keeps getting called a racist, a Clacton racist finally broke his silence on Monday. More: mrhenrymorris.substack.com/p/racist-off...

I haven't seen any yet but you could probably find a few contemporaries who didn't personally witness Farage being Farage at school. But there doesn't seem to be a single former pupil or teacher who find the descriptions of racism, anti-semitism & cruelty unfeasible. Shocked, I tell you...

Three more school contemporaries who claim to have witnessed Nigel Farage’s alleged teenage racism have rejected the Reform UK leader’s suggestion that it was “banter”, describing it as targeted, persistent and nasty. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

From the obvious reality of this two-bit bigot to the orchestrated attacks on the BBC to the pathological arrogance of Johnson & Cummings, it’s oddly ungratifying to see so much of ‘How They Broke Britain’ still resonating this month.

I remain genuinely gobsmacked that this wasn’t picked up more. The Alex Jones who *repeatedly accused grieving parents of making up their children’s murders*. Anyway, “after the news we’ll be joined by Nigel Farage & definitely won’t be asking him about any of this…”

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.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

One of the worst atrocities and one of the least discussed.

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?” “Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?” You can have those for nothing, lads.

Hmmm - so tacking hard right on immigration led the Danish equivalent of Labour to lose the capital city for the first time in a century to a “Green-Left” party? And all the seats on London’s borough councils are up next May? Including the progressive packed ones held by Labour for generations?

Gill-ty as charged. I wonder if Nigel Farage will be giving a press conference on this one?

This is Zelenskyy's "if necessary for years, if necessary alone" moment. A chapter in history that will be remembered both for the shame of Washington's betrayal, and for the dignity, bravery, defiance and resolve of the Ukrainian people in the face of it all.

An X user asks Elon Musk why they’re seeing tweets from left-wing lawmakers. Musk: “Because we are failing very badly with the recommendations algorithm. Doing my best to address this.”

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

This should be on every billboard in the land, along with the reports of Farage’s bullying at Dulwich. People need to know who they’re thinking of voting for. Let’s crowdfund! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It's always the ones you most expect... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Gosh. What a shock. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

He’s have an inconvenient journalist chopped up with a bone saw in a nanosecond if he could. Just like the gurning psychopath sitting next to him did.

European political scientists are blue in the face from constantly pointing out that accommodating the far right does not help centre-left parties win, and contributes to the rise of far-right parties. There's a mountain of data to support that. But no, the galaxy-brained strategists must be right.
