@BBCNewsnight That was without doubt the worse episode of Newsnight ever. Borderline misogyny the way Faisal Islam purposely allowed Jenrick to continually talk over the two women and when he was doing so was asked (questioned) to talk yet more. Appalling. #newsnight

Starmer: "We will not be drawn into the wider war ... we cannot allow the war in the Gulf to turn into a windfall for Putin"

Lewis Goodall, I have no idea who this utterly insane "Dr" Trump supporter is, "if you think Trump does things off the cuff...", the comedy value was off the scale. She's bonkers! #lbc

California doesn’t miss 💥 Sending the forwarding address.

Oh. Due process followed perfectly. The Tory politicians & client journalists lying desperately about all this were, of course, cheering & chuckling away when *two* of Boris Johnson’s ethics advisers resigned in disgust at his staggering contempt for ethics. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.

Emma Barnett is simply not very good at this. We're going round and round in circles and and the clock is ticking... Got absolutely nowhere. Whoever Labour have put up for the rounds this morning, he's sticking to the "mistake was made". #R4Today

"Richard, call me Dick, Littejohn" gets me every time! @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Hitting desalination plants is so bad. Not just evil but strategically incomprehensible. Without desalination 75% of the entire population of the Middle East will be refugees. Israel and Kuwait depend on desalination for 90% of their water and other Middle East states aren’t far behind.

So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”. Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.

A little bit obsessed with all the nut clusters currently ‘ashamed to be British’ because Starmer didn’t sign us up to this shit show.

Maybe I’m just overly cynical but it’s seems extremely coincidental that after brazenly seizing the worlds largest oil reserves in Venezuela that Trump drives the price of oil through the roof All the time being encouraged by his bessie Putin who needs it to pay for continuing his war on Ukraine.

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson. Respect recognizes respect.

Superb!! 👏👏👏 Marina Hyde. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

WTAF! Gillian Keegan is in a tv studio attempting to look relevant! @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social was she really the best you could find!? #newsnight

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Every day this illegal war goes on remember how the Tory Traitors ripped apart our military. And left us exposed and vulnerable. As a reminder Grant Shapps Ben Wallace Penny Mordaunt Gavin Williamson Michael Fallon Philip Hammond Liam Fox

Should The Brits have taken you past the cringe and bearable threshold, BBC2 has a fantastic Piano Room show as sanity alternative! (Or even snooker if you seek out BBC2 Wales!) #Brits

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

THIS.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

Nurul Amin Shah Alam crossed oceans to flee unimaginable violence, only to die here — where he should have been safe. The cruelty is endless.

Prior to 2015, if any candidate for elected office had begun a public statement or tweet with this sentence, he or she would have been laughed out of public life. Now, Americans re-elect them as commander-in-chief. I will never allow myself to become numb to his insanity.

Amber Glenn 🇺🇲 came in 4th, but is leaving the Olympics a Rockstar. ⛸️ A Queen. Liberated. And deliciously unhinged with this stunning choreography. 👀 🤍

Former UK PM Gordon Brown is providing - voluntarily and not for the first time - information to the police about abuses of power relating to the Epstein files. As PM Brown was briefed against by people such as Alistair Campbell and Peter Mandelson as being ‘psychologically flawed’ ….1/

More footage- Student led peaceful protest in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. The police chief showed up in plain clothing and assaulted two students.

OMG!! Laura trying to look all serious while interviewing a drunk clown. FFS! Seriously, is this the best the BBC's political team can do? Farcical. #BBCLauraK

#BBCLauraK 🤣🤣🤣 We're genuinely laughing out loud here. Laura Trott is the actual Shadow Education Secretary!! She is the personification of *simple*.

£12 million. That's how so fucked up things are.

Amber Glenn 🇺🇲⛸️ is my whole attitude for 2026. 🔥

Really just unfathomable to think we might start a massive war with Iran sometime this week, a war that many presidents have contemplated and rejected. The uncertainty is huge--the why, the how, the potential outcomes, all of it. And one man will decide.

Seriously, whilst the U.K. government remains on X it’s impossible to take them seriously over online safety.

It's great to live in a country (Canada, Japan, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, etc.) where citizens don't worry about if the next election will be canceled, if they will be allowed to register to vote, if they will have to stand in line for hours to vote, or if their vote will be counted.

BBC's Arabic radio service in Lebanon closed after 85 years as part of a £28.5m savings drive. 'Just months later, in October 2023, the Russian state-owned Sputnik news agency took over the frequency. Its news bulletin opened with “This is Moscow”, replacing the previous “This is London” intro.' 🙄

I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.

The MAGA regime just took another axe to the EPA by repealing and erasing an Obama-era scientific finding that determined carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare. More petty vindictive actions taken by a crook that puts us all in harm’s way.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

IMDB has flagged Melania the documentary for “unusual voting activity”. Someone is trying to pump up the viewer ratings after critics said it was a worthless piece of shit.

When you're so coked up and stupid you put the scope on backwards:

You know I don’t like to boast but our show’s Rajar was up 80,000 listeners on the last quarter. So thank you.
