I called her Velvet because she would have silky smooth skin one day. Today is that day. Velvet was getting some incredible news today...

People are saying, we won like nobody has ever won before. By losing.

Ex Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting under Obama👇🏽

There's something just so brilliant about coal mines being directly replaced with solar farms www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/07/g...

Call me Nostradamus.

I completely agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a sentence I never thought I would ever write.

MAGA opinions of Trump today. Tucker Carlson: "Vile on every level" Alex Jones: "Crazy... the madness of a king" Candace Owens: "a genocidal lunatic"

It’s our Patriotic Duty to pay our taxes to contribute towards our defence, healthcare, education, social services, emergency services etc Multimillionaire Richard Tice avoided paying £600,000 in tax because he’s a self entitled, greedy shit Yet he feels he can lecture us on Patriotism❗️😡

Yes, a crypto billionaire paid for a private jet which involved 23 hours flying at the going rate is £8,500/hour and I put £12,500 down then changed it to £25k, but I thought I could just make figures up like I do for my economic policies. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If only there had been a way of knowing that Trump was completely unsuited to high office.

FIFA Peace Prize update

This is a real post (link below for proof) by the President of the world's most powerful country. This isn't funny, or cool, or "talking like normal people". This is an unhinged lunatic that no sane person could want to interact with. No coming back from this. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

Completely mad.

Surely Reform-curious ‘Christian’, no?

My Easter reading: "..the Lord said I was hungry and you told me I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you told me to fuck off back where I came from, I was sick and you said I should get private health insurance..."

Imagine you’re a Hollywood producer or a TV executive in 2015 and a screenwriter pitches you a future where a President issues this message on Easter Sunday. The writer would never work again

🤡 You really couldn’t make it up. GB News losing money… and now asking for public funding. After years of attacking BBC and public service broadcasting, GB News now wants taxpayer support. So it’s “state bad”… until they need it.

This is appalling. How on earth can the trip planned by King Charles possibly go ahead after this?

In a blatant act of provocation yesterday, Sadiq Khan allowed Christians to perform the Passion of Jesus in Trafalgar Square - a disgraceful show of dominance by a religion from the middle east.

Soon to be appearing in midterm political ads for Democratic candidates nationwide. Thanks, Darnold. 🙏

George is cautiously making some great progress. His heart is pure but he just has some trust issues but we are working through those

Another sensational bit of journalism from the Dail Mail as they lie about EU regs, which will require orange marmalade, currently labelled as orange marmalade, to be re-labelled as... er... orange marmalade.

Due to new funding cuts for science in President Trump's proposed budget, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced it would dissolve the agency’s Social, Behavioral and Economic (SBE) Sciences directorate. The NSF’s budget request to Congress states that the ... TAT: [Attacking science]

Reform UK hates scrutiny.

Inaccurate election bar charts are nothing new. But when we challenged a Reform spokesman on the numbers didn’t apologise or plead mathematical incompetence; he openly admitted that the misleading bar chart was a deliberate tactic. Read about it here:

If I ever do want lessons on what the public interest looks like I'm pretty sure I won't take them from a thin skinned, self interested, tax avoiding, Brexit supporting, billionaire.

This is so, so well-articulated.

Donald fired Pam Bondi for one reason and one reason only: she didn't do enough to cover up for him. And she really tried.

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it. Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

It's only worth going back to the Moon if it makes us look properly again at Earth, and appreciate how beautiful, precious and fragile what we have here is. The most famous images from Apollo aren't about the Moon - they're pictures of Earth. We need to stop taking our home for granted.

"If you're Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin seeing the price of Russian oil go up because of Donald Trump's war in Iran, then you're thinking; happy days," says Jon Sopel. "You're seeing Donald Trump saying, I'm going to bust up NATO? Even happier days" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/how-...

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee. What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

Why we shouldn't cancel the King's visit to Washington. www.thetimes.com/article/8759...

Only the Daily Mail could look at the shit show created by Donald Trump and think HE was the genius with a plan.

Trump told Europe to find some "delayed courage" and they did – but used it to stand against his war in Iran. "Europe is saying, very loudly, this isn't our war," says Lewis Goodall. "Everyone can see that Europe and America are no longer as one" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

1/8 A question that keeps coming up on the @mrjamesob.bsky.social show on @lbc.co.uk is "What if Trump just declares victory and runs away?" I am only a Simple Seafarer - But I have given the matter some thought over the last few weeks. If it were easy to answer I would have rung in already...

Macron’s second sentence is the crux of the matter; European allies are not lackeys of the US. Not as strong as the US in military terms, but not complete pushovers either. Trump needs to understand there are consequences to his trash talking and hostile actions towards allies.

Translation: "I started something I can't finish and broke something I can't fix so I'm going to walk away and pretend it's your fault"

Update from the land of the free:

Starmer could have postponed the visit. By confirming it, there’s no way to u-turn w/o causing massive row; so we’re stuck with this awful, humiliating spectacle, rewarding an individual who’s not just repeatedly insulted the UK but many of its Commonwealth partners, which the King supposedly heads.

This is Molly. She was finally found a week after her human fell down a 180-foot waterfall while hiking together in New Zealand. Her human was badly injured and rescued by helicopter, but Molly was missing. A week later, Molly was found at the base of the waterfall and reunited with her human. 14/10

Interestingly, I’m seeing on X a lot of hostility to the royal visit not just from Trump critics, but also Trump supporters who’ve lapped up his attacks on the UK and are asking why they should host representatives from a country which is not supporting the US in Iran. Lose-lose visit all round.

This is all too real. These days, satire is just news but in teaser format.

We don’t need more heroes. We need systems that don’t destroy them. In World War I, we punished soldiers for breaking. We called it cowardice. We didn’t understand trauma. A century later… We clapped for healthcare workers. Called them heroes. And then built a system that broke them anyway. 1/5🧵

This is absolutely spot on from Emily Thornberry 👏

The only mainstream journalists speaking truth to power these days are cartoonists
