A YouGov survey shows the number of Britons saying it was right to vote to leave the European Union in 2016 dropping to its lowest level ever, at 31%. #Brexit www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/brexit...

Comfortingly calming, excellent analysis of the elections at this morning with @sturdyalex.bsky.social and @pimlicat.bsky.social at @quietriotpod.bsky.social Most depressing scenario; "the fascist itch". Most intriguing; suppose he DOES just snort "massive amounts of drugs" - do ask him!

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

Regarding the "Special Relationship". perhaps it is still "special" after all...: In the UK, the phrase "a bit special" is often used to denote that a person is peculiar, eccentric, or, more derogatorily, not very bright." I think it's safe to say that Felon Trump is definitely a bit "special"...

Jesus who forsook all personal possessions to feed and clothe the poor? Looks like you have $850,000,000,000 to donate.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. He never reigns but he paws.

Like the husband of the eponymous heroine, this film should be certified...

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 First class response, Mr Mayor!

Sky's Rob Powell asks Nigel Farage that, given Robert Jenrick is the 7th person to have served in Boris Johnson's government to defect to Reform, how can his party be "a new, reforming force" when it is "bringing in so many people who caused the mess that you're trying to clean up"

This is truly brilliant!👏👏✨ I wondered why I disliked Trump so much……🤭 londondaily.com/british-writ...

I’ll say what CNN is afraid to say: Trump knows that María Corina Machado is the most popular person in Venezuela and the in-country opposition leader—thus, the obvious new Venezuelan leader—and he lied and said she *wasn’t* popular because she won the Nobel Peace Prize over him.

Rubio: " it's run by incompetent, senile men." Look behind you.

Trump struggling to remain awake.

My error. I turned on the TV, and I thought he was dead.

🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years” Hugely important point made by @vicderbyshire.bsky.social 👏

Tonight's Any Questions from Wigan on #BBCRadio4 again finds room for a Reform UK Ltd. panellist after last week's appearance by a GB News editor. No Lib Dems or Greens to be found. Again! BBC Director of Left Wing Bias... Do your job! #AnyQuestions #BBC #Radio4 #BBCRadio4

THAT'S the way to do it!

I’ve been through a lot worse than anything Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth can throw at me. And I'm not backing down, because this isn't about me — it's about you and every American's First Amendment right.

It’s weird that news organizations like the BBC are covering this as if it’s a real thing with a real process behind it—and not clearly some nakedly invented “participation trophy” by a corrupt organization to curry favor with a corrupt and easily manipulated man-child. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

I think it would be interesting to know what Farage was like when he was a commodities trader; he started working in city straight after school. Perhaps find few of his colleagues from that period @pippacrerar.bsky.social Seems unlikely he would have changed overnight upon leaving school.

Someone really needs to start a rival lettuce YouTube show that gets more viewers.

When I have food that starts looking like this, I throw it out. I suggest the United States does the same.

Yep!

Zia Yusuf - the unelected multimillionaire policy chief of Reform - makes his fourth Question Time appearance tonight. The party has five MPs

Daisy Cooper, "In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker that arrived on a boat" "Today we have 46,000 a year" "And do you know why?" "Brexit" "Pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage" *audience erupts in applause" #BBCQT

the only thing Rachel Reeves needs to do for more favourable coverage on BBC News is threaten to sue them for £1 billion

AT LAST! This is moving! 2nd most popular petition atm. Should reach 10,000 signatures today. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

To the reporters that had no pushback against Trump for calling one of their own "Piggy", then later offering no pushback when Trump defended the man who orchestrated the murder and dismemberment of one of their own, I hope selling your integrity for access was worth it.

This 👇!

One for the Brits. Epstein wrote a list of names for Steve Bannon. The first one on it is Mandelson

"These emails are cherry-picked." "Ok, but you get that it's a problem that your tree has ANY cherries that are emails conspiring with a paedophilic sex trafficker?"

Husbands with Grindr profiles?

Trump and Hegseth booed mercilessly for 2 minutes straight tonight by Washington Commanders fans.

Never forget!

Oh look. Grooming gang victim who resigned from inquiry is doing a joint press conference with Farage.

Braverman deleted this tweet which made me wonder who that previous prisoner was. His name was Junead Ahmed. He was a conman mistakenly released in 2023. She was Home Secretary at the time. Oh. news.sky.com/story/migran...

😢 Betty Ford once said that "if the White House West Wing is the mind of the nation then the East Wing is the heart.” Well, it's gone now, because we have a grotesque president who is sick in the mind, and was born without a heart. To hell with him -- and soon, please.

Why the Caerphilly by-election result shows Nigel Farage's party is much weaker than most of the coverage of Reform suggests bylinetimes.com/2025/10/24/t...

Adil Ray, "Prince Andrew has given £12 million of his mum's money to someone he has never met before" "Has renounced all his titles for something he didn't do" "With the same person he's never met before" "At the house of someone he was only friends with" "To be polite" #HIGNFY

Richard Tice told The Times in March he had “never met Nathan Gill” Tice - "Please welcome to the stage, Nathan Gill." searchlightmagazine.com/2025/10/refo...

Today's walk. I wonder where the rainbow ends; Caerphilly? They've certainly dodged a horrible shower...

Diolch, Caerffili!

Caerphilly, Senedd constituency by-election result: PC: 47.4% (+19.0) REF: 36.0% (+34.2) LAB: 11.0% (-34.9) CON: 2.0% (-15.3) GRN: 1.5% (+1.5) LDEM: 1.5% (-1.2) GWL: 0.3% (+0.3) UKIP: 0.2% (+0.2) Plaid Cymru GAIN from Labour.

Well, that's the lesson for Labour in tonight's Caerphilly by-election: keep obsessing about losing votes on the right, placating Reform voters...and lose votes on to the left. Here, Plaid Cymru benefitted. I wrote about Labour's strategic dilemma here: www.opendemocracy.net/en/labour-st...

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
