Donald Trump: "I'm not a dictator" Also Donald Trump:

No cheating, post your lock screen.

Is NOBODY going to call DoJ's Todd Blanche "questioning" Ghislaine Maxwell what it actually is - WITNESS TAMPERING? Really, not one person?

Sometimes, meet your heroes. Because sometimes they are the nicest, most genuine and funniest people you will have the privilege of meeting. Honoured isn't the word. (I met Johnny Ball in this same spot 5 years ago, this is the first time either of us returned. Astonishing coincidence).

BREAKING: Donald Trump says white South Africans are no longer welcome in the USA and deportations will begin immediately.

Shows there is truth in my comment last week that post-Brexit the UK has been reduced to seeking scraps from the big boys' tables www.ft.com/content/342d...

Everyone watching the press conference:

It's always the ones you least suspect.

This is completely insane. Legal types, do get in touch with family if you can help.

A 2% wealth tax in the UK on people with over £100m (like France) would raise £30bn a year. It's time to tax the rich.

You would think someone who owns a spacecraft company would have some tiny fucking clue about optimal flightpath (literally no object going into space takes a straight line). Unless of course he was a fucking moron. x.com/ThePoke/stat...

Brilliantly said, as ever, by @iandunt.bsky.social in this week's newsletter. We know they are liars, and we need to hold on to that.

"Not".

Why aren't farmers incandescent that a Tory government allowed the ultra-rich to buy farm land to escape IHT, when many of them now act as feudal landlords renting land back to farmers instead of them owning it?

Catch me if you can, suckers.

1. Nhs staff were on strike. 2. This led to longer waiting lists. 3. Labour government agreed a deal finishing the strikes. 4. As a result, waiting lists have come down. Only a right-wing loon or newspaper would paint that as anything other than an important improvement.

When did Nigel Farage take over the Labour party as well as the Conservative party? What is happening to us?

Absolute entitled fuckers. "Our lives are devastated (by the fallout from our stealing from a charity set up in our father's name). It's time to move on (so please forget our plundering of your money)". www.lbc.co.uk/news/captain...

It's very clear now, Trump wants to capture some land - another person's country - and he's not really bothered whose or where, just so long as he can say he took it. He wants to be Putin.

Trump is an idiot (as well as a twat). He's imposed tariffs on energy imports from Canada. This means simply that American energy bill will rise. For Americans.

Last night we took part in our weekly pub quiz. We won the quiz but left the money on the table. Which shows our dedication to the pure art of quizzing. (Or that we are smart and dumb in equal measure). Cc @paulsinha.bsky.social

I cannot express my anger with Trump strongly enough. He will say ANYTHING to divert blame from his own actions when something bad happens. 👇

I have nothing to add to this.

Was just disinvited by @bbc5live.bsky.social to a discussion of Brexit 5 years on- on the entirely reasonable/correct grounds that I know what I am talking about and would give an expert, objective view. What they actually wanted was a "hard Remainer" (to balance a know-nothing Brexiteer). FFS.

I don't think Trump particularly wants to acquire Greenland, Canada or the Gulf of Mexico - there may be some US advantages to each, but the main thing he wants is to Take Some Land, to become the next Putin.

Boris Johnson here, reporting on the moment Donald Trump *didn’t touch a Bible*.

If they act like cartoon villains, dress like cartoon villains and speak like cartoon villains... it's because they're cartoon fucking villains.

BREAKING: Starmer attacks Far Right & Elon Musk. In a pointed comment on Musk, the PM calls out those “so desperate for attention, they’re prepared to debase themselves & their country.” “When the poison of the Far Right leads to threats…a line has been crossed.” Strong, necessary stuff. (🎥 BBC)

I love @iandunt.bsky.social, hes one of the Good Guys and his newsletter is always touching and thought provoking. But - 6am? Fuck off mate.

UK politicians go to assist in a US election campaign - right wingers: "Outrageous Foreign election interference!!" South African right winger calls for the *King to dissolve UK parliament* - right wingers: "Yaay!"

As I said the other day, this is mainly opposed by the richest who don't want to pay tax that may help the less fortunate. And hence is prime material for right wing rags.

She's a complete gift to any other party that would take advantage of it. "Why would it be long overdue Kim?"

Check your Black Magic for Rohypnol.

In today's episode of "We want everything for nothing", we being you... "Rail services are rubbish, we want better!" "Ok, we'll make them public so money that paid dividends will go to improve the service instead" "Hang on - fares won't ever rise again, will they??!?"

- a quarter of all England’s farmland belongs to just 2,500 owners - 20 dukes own a million acres of Britain "most of this country is owned by people like the Duke of Westminster, who has 129,000 acres and a £10billion fortune", says @guyshrubsole.bsky.social www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Started out making a wooden Christmas tree, ended up with a festive shelving unit!

Reform didn't need to look past the picture at the top of Andrea Jenkyns' CV before welcoming her in.

Phew, at last. metro.co.uk/2024/11/28/t...

They are booked to turn on the Christmas lights in Great Harwood next Saturday. This makes it far more interesting than usual metro.co.uk/2024/11/27/i...

"[In my day it was] very rare for there to be a fatso in the class". It wasn't, Boris.

Buy a fucking mirror Boris.

Haha! Nobody gets to be corrupt except The Don. Except, of course, they're all corrupt.

How has America decided the best thing it can do is destroy itself?
