Britain on brink of going to IMF latest.

This is essential: a democracy *must* know who is paying its politicians and where that money is coming from. Cryptocurrency is *designed* to make that impossible. The whole point is to lift payments outside the scrutiny of the state.

Yesterday I posted my last ever Tweet and called on the Government to do the same. Read more below on why I think it’s time to leave the cesspit formerly known as Twitter. www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

#GVerse Actor Richard Gere on #Shit4Brains: “We have a president who’s not only crazy, he’s a dark presence. And it’s happened so quickly. Six months, he’s almost destroyed our country” #Repost if you stand with Gere!

An earlier version of the NSS specifically said that the US should try to pry Italy, Austria, Poland and Hungary away from the EU www.defenseone.com/policy/2025/...

@ndironsmp.bsky.social great apppearance on newsnight! Kept calm in the face of those awful guys getting their knickers in a twist over RR.

Watching @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social and wish i hadnt. The gleeful 'gotcha' tone over Reeves by the two BBC presenters is totally off. Natasha Irons MP doing a good job calmly setting them straight. Fed up of the hysterical bedwetting of journalists on this story.

Mason declares that in his judgement we have been misled by Rachel Reeves. It feels unprecedented that the BBC has made a "call" on a story, and is something that was absent throughout the terms of notorious liars such as Johnson. There were certainly no "calls" about Brexit lies. #r4today

And if you're not completely sick of my voice, have a listen to this new episode of @alexpodyssey.bsky.social all about apples - fron the golden one that started the Trojan War, all the way to Handel, Tennyson, Snow White, Wagner, Magritte, Alan Turing, The Beatles, Steve Jobs, and Ramsay Bolton.

Timely episode of Behind The Lines on the real implications of Trump's botched "peace deal" and what next for Ukraine. @snellarthur.bsky.social chats to Ukrainian diplomat Iuliia Osmolowska and explains it to me. 🍏 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b... 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/656F... LISTEN SHARE

I hate this guy Nick's chummy jocular tone presentingnewsnight. V irritating. Whats this ..flagging up "nice" and "mean" questions. This is not serious. @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

Is the demolition of the East Wing of the White House headline news in the US? Wondering how its gping down over there.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

No Kings-Chicago, IL

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

Democracy dies in silence. …when people are too afraid or don’t care enough to speak up. Not today. MILLIONS of Americans and allies of freedom and democracy, here and around the world, are taking to the streets. Showing their love of country and defiance of tyranny. It’s a beautiful sight.

Happy No Kings Day to all those who celebrate. Sending best wishes to our friends across the Pond. I'm looking on with interest.

A 'tax strike' is brewing as blue states map out fight against Trump’s 'harassment' www.alternet.org/trump-blue-s... Definitely hold back tax money used to equalize poor red states-A fact they don’t want their supporters voters know

He just wants to be crowned king, stay in the WH forever and pasd it on to his heirs

about time. can I apply?

I'm sure Calgie, Cole, Pogrund, Swinford, Wickham, Hodges, Riley-Smith, and Hope are ALL OVER IT. <waits> <waits more> <reads story on donkey field> <waits> <has wotsit sandwich> <waits more>

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

😱😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes THANK GOODNESS @vicderbyshire.bsky.social is back on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social tomorrow. I cannot watch 'lame duck' man any more.

Google data centres coming to Hertfordshire?! Sounds a lot like the final nail in an already well-nailed coffin for the local chalk streams. Or will the water be sucked out of the Thames at Teddington for it under Thames Water’s current plans? Keep your beady eyes on this.

Great trolling from the Mayor to release this today, as Trump arrives in the UK www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Whatever you think of Labour or Starmer the Workers Rights Bill and the Hillsborough Law are huge achievements for every Brit. Name me two similar achievements protecting the public that the Tories delivered in 14 years let alone 14 months.

Nigel Farage: "Children who have two stable parents have a better chance in life... The most stable relationships, the ones that last the longest, tend to be between men & women... There's an awful lot of kids in the country not getting the kind of start... they deserve." Farage has two ex-wives.

I can’t believe that the BBC’s political editor finished his package on Mandelson with the suggestion that had Nigel Farage been appointed UK ambassador to Washington Starmer wouldn’t be facing this crisis. Was that a quote or a comment by Mr Mason? In both cases, this was not impartial reporting.

This happened in full view of Sky News cameras and a bunch of police just standing there. Why is THIS not on the news all day? Why don't we show people what these thugs are turning the country into? I could only find it on the far right TikTok page that proudly boasted about the incident. SHARE!

Not only is this coming for you, it is here and we are collectively behind in preparing.

Russians dropped a glide bomb on elderly people who were waiting in line for their pensions. More than 20 dead. Please. Don’t look away and don’t be silent. This is all I could ask for

"Brexit has made the UK an appeal court for failed asylum seekers from the EU" interesting read from LSE blogs

An anti-migrant protester who filmed demonstrations outside asylum hotels for the 'protection of women and children' has been unmasked as a convicted paedophile who once sexually assaulted a schoolgirl. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

what a bunch of sycophantic asses. Where is their pride? Dignity? they are the richest men in the world and....this??? Also where is Musk?

Day Two of Reform conference, and we're getting the good stuff. At the Heartland Institute's fringe "Is Climate Realism Inevitable", we've learned that electric cars are part of a Marxist plot to control humanity, and heard calls for the abolition of the BBC.

What a surprise. Laura kuennsburg interviewong Farage on sunday. Guessing there will be no difficult questions like Raskins. @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

This is a huge story. Don't let him get away with it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Spot on and it stinks. She's done the decent thing and resigned --- now lets see if these bloodhounds turn on Farage and co. They were strangely toothless while the Tories were in power.

Private Eye:

so edifying to see the Westminster gossip journos lathering themselves up over Angela Rayner, while cruising past the Nigel Farage tax story

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social quite rightly pointing out how bad it is that Rayners home has been defaced...did u know you broadcast the road sign?

Farage-buster Jamie Raskin on newsnight 1030 tonight
