NEW EPISODE: The Bulls******s of #Brexit @goldbergradio.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social hears from @ottoenglish.bsky.social and Simon Duncan of Ealing Gin. open.spotify.com/episode/6Qyq...

Was asked to talk about Brexit anniversary and the tossers who led us into a decade of chaos and misery. I may well have ranted and raved. Short.. but @bylinetimes.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/6Qyq...

Which part of UK has outperformed the rest since Brexit? Northern Ireland of course, as it has effectively stayed in the EU’s single market!

Trump thinks that foreigners need American passports to get into America. Maybe someone should check his IQ again

Toy Story was that rare thing. A perfect cinema trilogy. A set of films which explored dark questions... worthy of Heidegger... about the essence of being. And what the point of life is in a godless universe. And then... then they made four and five. And no. I will NEVER shut up about it.

It’s all a bit Midsomer Murders…

Will, buddy, is there a reason you didn't quote-tweet me? I think there might be a reason.

This could do with a bit more focus... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Which raises the question "how the hell was he allowed to run for Holyrood last month when he lives in Russia?" Dual mandates have been rightly banned, surely it's time to insist MSP candidates have to live in Scotland?

How was he "forced into exile"?

One of the lessons of the last two years is that Labour urgently needs to stop being afraid of its own shadow. Burnham should appoint whoever he thinks would be the best Chancellor and throw his authority behind them. The Daily Mail will try to kill them anyway. So just govern.

Brilliant reporting on the terrifying influence of Paul Marshall from @prospectmagazine.co.uk: www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

Four years ago Roe v Wade was overturned. Meanwhile, in London this week, Nigel Farage spoke at the 'Alliance for Responsible Citizenship' conference attended by well-funded anti-abortion campaigners. ARC is bankrolled by GB News owner Paul Marshall. Since 2024 GB News has paid Farage £700k.

This is going to be a bit tricky because he's "in exile" in Russia

Galloway lives in Russia and has done since last year. Feel this has rather gone under the radar.

Prince Charles is trying to taxmogg you by declaring he paid £12.5m in one year but you gotta remember this is the only family in the UK who are legally allowed to not pay inheritance tax and the family is estimated to have assets of around £20 billion or thereabouts.

Use the 240 bedrooms as accommodation for MPs who live furthest from Westminster and do away with 2nd home allowances?

Awkward moment for the "tourists come to London in the hope of glimpsing the king at Buckingham Palace" brigade. www.thedailybeast.com/king-charles...

Yeah, that explains a lot

Robert Jenrick wants to deport my partner... 🤬🤬🤬

Me: I think Starmer has blown it and Andy Burnham should replace him. People who never read or listen to anything I write or say 👇

I openly called for him to be replaced. I've posted and podcasted about it repeatedly. Maybe read what I write and not what's going on in your fantasy land mind.

Whatever your opinion of what he's saying it's completely undermined by him posting it on the fascist owned website X. If he had one iota of integrity. If he really believed in his ersatz Lenin posturing... he'd have left it months or years ago. But he relies entirely on the clicks and praise.

Wow, he’s talking about the President of the United States….

Nigel Farage here... setting himself up like he's just wandered into a milkshake festival with "splatt me" written on his shirt

Personally, I enjoyed the 3-day week, and power cuts. That doesn’t mean they were good.

What people said in 1976 is not necessarily what they were thinking. Society was considerably more conformist and much more averse to complaining in general. Partly cultural and partly a hangover from wartime deprivation and a sort of 'keep calm and carry on' attitude. Interested to see the research

Worth noting there's video evidence of two waves of missiles hitting the military compound next to the school www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

www.chloewestley.com Now she's an inspirational speaker and published author (with a vanity publisher). Oddly no mention of Artists 4 Brexit.

Not the Midas touch... more the Shite-as touch

One of the strangest AstroTurfing pro leave groups was "Artists 4 Brexit". Emerging ca 2017 they were a weird bunch of self-styled creative types who had more chips on their shoulders than a woodcutter caught in a spillage at the McCains oven potato factory. Here's some of their art 1/5

She would most likely have been too young to be aware of this, but there was a serious worry about babies being killed from drinking contaminated water during the drought (among many other issues).

I was a maintenance electrician in a foundry and boiler house of a well known car maker at the time, it was hot for us but those on the ‘coal face’ must’ve felt it worse.

Excellent

What the hell?

3500 excess deaths in UK in 1976 heatwave Many places ran out of water It wasn't embraced it was fucking miserable And this fantastist is an idiot

Yes, obviously it is suspended, but is it operating or not? Useless TfL app.

@richardknott.bsky.social @allshorts.bsky.social @ottoenglish.bsky.social Richard Burgon MP via X: I've secured a parliamentary debate next week on banning all MPs' second jobs..... ....Being an MP is a full-time job. No MP should be out chasing lucrative second jobs. Let's end this racket!

UK records its hottest June day on record. The climate crisis is here, now. Shame on any politician, corporate CEO, or union boss who still lobbies against urgent climate action. You're condemning us all to heatwave hell, health issues and avoidable deaths. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Climate change is real. Climate change denial makes rich people richer. There's one of your many problems.

It tells you everything you need to know about Kemi Badneoch and Nigel Farage that as London schools, hospitals and transport networks all buckle under extreme record-breaking temperatures, they gather with fossil fuel lobbyists, climate deniers and the far-right to demand an end to Net Zero

Tenth anniversary of Cameron announcing his resignation - possibly the worst UK PM - Johnson for all his venality and Truss for ideological idiocy don’t come close to the long term damage that resulted from Cameron’s Brexit referendum gamble for party management reasons. Truly terrible judgement…

Brexited are the cheesemakers www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Mrs Brown-shirts Boys

Has he never met his wife?

Prior to Brexit there were no small boat crossings to the UK. Not one. The Farage Boats are there in large part because of leave.

Nigel Farage claims complete credit for Brexit. And he's right. As a result the net wealth of the average Briton was shrunk by more than 5% per year.

So Aneurin Barnard, our Rogue Trooper, is out here in Annecy, to help promote the film at the festival and went proper HERO today, chasing down, rugby tackling & holding a bag snatcher who had robbed a little old lady in front of him today. Held him till police arrived and then gave the handbag
