Every country has a powerful right wing that argue “if you tax the wealthy, they’ll leave” We need to start calling their bluff. We need to make it so the ultra wealthy either contribute enough to be a positive part of society, or be globally shunned and unable to extract further funds from us.

PAYCHECK $0.00 A single dad holding back tears on national TV because his federal paycheck can’t cover food and rent, while Trump’s building a $350 million ballroom at the White House. Is America great yet?

Great. Because prices aren’t already still increasing. And we wouldn’t want shareholders to lose out on profit would we? apple.news/AJf42wTkEQna...

An embarrassingly obvious point, but... This. Is. Illegal. If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed. In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists. www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/b...

Gyll King Robert Jenrick says we are facing a massive crime wave because of Labour. 2010 to 2024 Jenrick's Tories: Closed 600 police stations Closed half the courts Cut 45,000 police officers Cut PCSOs by 36% Privatised half of probation & then bailed out collapsed private probation

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

The dude who wanted his Gold card, his drug website, memecoin, and and Arc De Trump all named after him says he won't name his ballroom after himself.🤣 I think the only possibility it doesn't is if it doesn't get finished before he leaves office. abcnews-go-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/abcnews....

And of course, it was a genuine apology. apple.news/AzaG5nifNS4q...

One for the #AFOL - Still chipping away at my birthday present to myself. Not even halfway yet, but what a kit. Fiddly. But so many interesting details. The guys who design this stuff are engineering geniuses. Superb kit.

That's racism. Plain and simple. No other word for it. It's shocking beyond belief that this sort of thing is somehow acceptable.

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

Hundreds of thousands of federal workers missed their first full paychecks amid the ongoing shutdown. Some face financial strain, taking loans, while the Trump administration partially pays select workers. Back pay and potential layoffs remain major concerns. news.yahoo.com/article/hund...

Ha! Soggy beaks. There’s something about a soggy parrot that makes me chuckle.

I don’t cook much anymore, bastard arthritis stops pretty much all kitchen based fun, but I’ve just made a bloody superb sauce soubise! Not made it for years! The chef is still in there. Now I just need to recover enough to cook the gammon, spuds and Brussels sprouts to have with it!

I think we’ve seen enough of Labour’s values now.

The U.S. has now deployed the biggest warship on earth to Venezuela. Trump has already conducted 10 air strikes on vessels in the area, and talked of 'land action' in the last few days. President Maduro has said Trump is 'fabricating a new war.'

Can’t wait to hear the blind faithful defend this.

There is no excuse. If you support Keir Starmer's Labour Party, you are supporting his actions in Gaza. Unless, of course, you think the UN is making it all up...

Good to know successive governments have pretty much ignored this eh? apple.news/AvfFJgDPqSKS...

£75k? More likely they’re gonna spend £5k on flags and pocket the rest, via a mate who sells flags he buys in bulk from Temu.

Where’s the efficiency saving here? 🧐 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Greetings carbon based drama llamas! I’m back! Twice in one Earth week I am really spoiling you. Right let’s get down to business. Egos BAD VERY BAD! Pardons EVERYWHERE! Chaos? PLENTY! Grab snacks let’s do this thing 👽 @northwestbylines.co.uk

This is a rare peice of actual footage of @glooface.bsky.social on one of his friendly evening neighbourhood patrols. That’s what he calls them, anyway

Israeli occupation soldiers forcibly pulled a Palestinian mother away from her son’s grave as they bulldozed an ancient Muslim cemetery to create what they referred to as a “biblical park.”

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition. Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

I'm telling you. He's either gonna die or be crowned if something's not done.

Which cuts are those? The welfare bill is the largest this govt has to find public money for, & it's ever increasing. Nobody wants to see disabled people left without the support they need, but the increasing expenditure on all benefits is becoming unsustainable. What's the fair solution?

Friday feelgood foto. My absolute all time favourite photo of Pixel & Widget. (Pixel is on the right, Widget on the left) Captures their personalities perfectly. Tell me this photo doesn’t make you smile?!

Fucking vandalism.

Hope the bright young things at Labour HQ study the Caerphilly result carefully(sorry). There is a yearning for a progressive alternative to the relentless negative shite coming out of Reform and echoed by Labour.

this is utterly hilarious, turns out that it was the Tories who took the word "enemy" out of the crucial witness statement in the collapsed China spy case over to you, Kemi Badenoch? www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Trump will be delighted.

Quelle surprise. Hardly surprising.

Watching part of the White House come down feels like watching a piece of our story disappear. The East Wing has always stood for service, grace, and possibility things no one can demolish. You can tear down walls, but you can’t erase history.

Isn’t it time we had a European based social network? Is there such a thing?

"Amazing result for Plaid Cymru, so here's a guest from Reform anyway..."

Hey @reuters.com What a journalistic FAIL. Bottom of the class You’d never in a million years think that Plaid Cymru won from your headlining - not ReFuk Who writes this junk?

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone. New York has her back. Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

Always follow the money is a golden rule. British people are foregoing a viable state because we are told the state lacks sufficient funds. At the same time the extended family of the monarch & the grace & favour retainers live extremely well. This arrangement needs transparency & public oversight.

@andyburnham.bsky.social noone voted for tax payers money to go to US Spytech company Palantir who supply the Israeli regime with AI War Tech for their assaults on Gaza. This is Stasi territory below, Palantir have also been given NHS and Police contracts ,it's hugely invasive and undemocratic. 👇

Michael Gove personally intervened to ensure that a Conservative donor's firm was awarded a multimillion pound covid contract. Private correspondence reveals that Ciga Healthcare’s Brexit-supporting owner had pushed Gove to “take control” of the process. The contract was awarded just days later
