BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

Thank you 2025! 😍 Wishing everyone a happy 2026 filled with love, health, peace and adventures! 🙏🏼 Happy New Year! 🎉🎆

I can’t wait for the day we start ripping out all that golden shit out of the White House and tearing his name off of every taxpayer funded building in the country.

I joined the Green Party, because if Zack Polanski isn't our next Prime Minister... I'll probably be dead within 10 years.

Q for an #electrician please! If I’m leaving a house in Greece empty for 3 months over winter (with the fridge & freezer empty and unplugged & nothing else connected except the water pump which won’t be used,) should I turn the electricity off at the mains or leave it on? Will it come back on ok? 🥴

Oh, you simple-minded, wheezing gargoyle . . . you were very much on the ballot. You are blamed for the shutdown. You are blamed from SNAP shutting down. You are blamed for a bad economy. And numerous people interviewed last night mentioned that seeing the East Wing destroyed motivated them to vote.

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow. But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

I’ve just realised that I’m spending 4 days a week waiting for Claudia…..🖤🪩😉🤣#strictly #traitors

Minority representation on TV causes outrage From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

I’ve just realised that I’m spending most of my week waiting for Claudia…..🖤🪩😉🤣

The reform party nativity scene. No unmarried mothers. No Middle Eastern people. No refugees. No people seeking emergency accommodation. And not a wise fvcking man in sight…

Sounds good to me! 👍

My eldest brother - a die hard Tory voter - said he would do anything and vote for any party if it stopped Reform and Nigel Farage getting into power. He’s living in an area where that is likely. I had to take smelling salts when he announced this. And I’m ashamed to admit it..,

My current obsession is watching The Diplomat on Netflix with my Dad. He was an ambassador, so he has some keen insights, but we both enjoy the twists and turns. Very well written

Feck you Reform. Hope you get a flat tire on the way back to London. Labour isn't listening Well done Plaid 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🐑

Fantastic win for @plaidcymru.bsky.social in Caerphilly 👏 Ten point win over Reform. Labour a distant third after dominating this constituency for decades. So much for McSweeney's blue Labour strategy. What left wing crumbs will he offer to fix this rout? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Plaid Cymru has beaten Reform and Labour in Caerphilly. Apart from other things, Plaid Cymru is also an anti-Brexit party that supports rejoining the EU, the Single Market and the Customs Union. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺

Chicago - no kings

#NoKings We can do this. The emperor has no clothes.

Why is the Reform Party's Russian links not a major news story?

SOMETHING BIG QUIETLY HAPPENED ON RUSSIAN STATE TV: PREPARING FOR THE END HAS STARTED It seems to have slipped past barely mentioned but I don’t think we should ignore it or minimise it. Nothing, and I mean nothing gets said by men like Solyov who speak in such loaded language, filled with

BlueSky just verified the White House account. I responded by doing the only appropriate thing:

So basically, British Celebrities are weirdly racist, by the looks of things. #celebritytraitors

Likeliest to get offed I think tomorrow, but if Ruth does get murdered, she’s left us with a belter of a quote #CelebrityTraitors

Has anyone done research into race and #TheTraitors? I feel there is always such racial bias in people's reasoning. #CelebrityTraitors

Would be incredible if Cat deflects suspicion against her by pointing out how awful it would look for the first three banishments all to be black people #CelebrityTraitors

Celia is the most inspired casting and we must now treat her on a par with David Attenborough and protect her at all costs from everything #CelebrityTraitors

Fuck it, get Ruth on every cold case we can. Jack the Ripper, Madeline McCann, who was driving the hummer. All of them. #CelebrityTraitors

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of "poisoning our kids" on race issues. Here's a reminder of what teachers and fellow pupils at Farage's own school remember of his own views on that subject. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...

A house in Clacton bought with unknown finances, a Russian funded Welsh leader and now an investigation into the finances and tax affairs of one of Farage’s key ally. The treachery and corruption is right in front of the media’s eyes and they do and say, NOTHING!

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

I'd actually forgotten how extraordinary it is that when I won the leadership - I wasn't interviewed as it was too close to our party conference interviewed. And then refused a second time! Part of the antidote to all of this is creating our own media platforms. Hey @boldpolitics.bsky.social 👋🏼

Farage up to his neck in Putin’s propaganda machine??? 😵‍💫 🇷🇺 Who could have guessed??? 🤔 bylinetimes.com/2025/10/04/t...

EXC from @annaisaac.bsky.social The finances of one of Nigel Farage’s key confidants are being examined by the UK’s tax and revenue authorities amid questions over his income from wealth and business activities, the Guardian understands. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Dr Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

@zackpolanski.bsky.social gets a mid-speech standing ovation from conference for calling out Farage and standing unapologetically with migrants. Good stuff.

I wouldn’t gently point it out, I’d get ‘Farage boats’ on the sides of buses, t shirts, drinks coasters, full page ads in the papers. Hammer that phrase until it becomes omnipresent.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Here we go. A start
