@mrjamesob.bsky.social discussing whether the King should go to the US particularly after the most recent deranged antics...obviously not, but all I can say this would have been the perfect opportunity to wheel out Prince Philip had he still been alive. Fight fire with fire and all that. @lbc.co.uk

I wonder what negotiations JD and Jared will f*ck up next. Any guesses?

Farage said Brexit would be good for the UK, instead it’s cost 4-8% of GDP & torn us apart. He said Trump would be good for the world, instead he’s launched a stupid war, tariffed everyone & is a total lunatic. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Remember that in the locals.

In the 1930s, Oswald Mosley claimed to be a patriot, while his British Union of Fascists was secretly funded by the Italian government. We are just beginning to grasp how much of the far right in the UK today has been funded by Viktor Orbán and Russian oil money. Their "patriotism" is always a con.

The village historical reenactment society met last night. We are currently recreating great moments from American history. This is us reproducing the moment when President Trump acted out the role of a doctor helping others. As you can see I proudly played the leading role.🎭

The incoming Hungarian Prime Minister, Péter Magyar, has stated that "I remember when I was a diplomat in Brussels... We were able to influence decisions. At the time, the Brits were also part of the EU. Let's hope they will rejoin."

"My friend." This is how our government greets those accused of war crimes. This is not diplomacy. It's debasement.

Finally, a good new story!

Starmer has set up a new cabinet committee to deal with the fall-out from the Iran war, the BBC reports. That means the government is expecting a long-term impact on the UK economy from a completely unnecessary and illegal conflict. The Middle East Response Committee meets shortly.

*Harm not halve! Damn you, autocorrect!

Pope Leo: "To put my message on the same plane as what the president has attempted to do here I think is not understanding what the message of the gospel is."

This is exactly the level of stupidity we need to get Reform into power.

Heart-breaking. bylinetimes.com/2026/04/13/m...

❗️Ukraine's Minister of Defense, Mykhailo Fedorov, announced that Belgium will allocate €1 billion in military aid to Ukraine this year, as well as additional F-16 fighter jets and spare parts for the existing fleet.

He finally caught his tail and he will never letting go.. 😅

I thought Trump said that he was a doctor....

“Brexit betrayal” - oh for god’s sake.. Every day, we’re paying to be poorer. We’re paying to be second class citizens on our own continent. We’re paying to queue. We’re paying for more red tape. We’re paying to be less secure and less trusted. Brexit IS the betrayal. And so is defending it.

Hale: From all the data I see, Pope Leo is the most popular American, and he’s actually the most popular figure globally. He has 69% support among Republicans, 75% support among Democrats. He’s well beloved among all political stripes. And so I think it’s a fight Trump needs to get out of.

Amazing and yet, kinda terrifying at the same time.

Decisions based on racism halve the economy. How many examples have we seen of that in history? Get this fucking idiot out.

😂😂😂

It's incredible the ability these people have to support Trump so he can engage in the persecution and mockery of others they see as beneath them but the minute he does this, they get all offended.

I love how mentally ill everyone is now.

Your honor, I would like to enter this evidence as exhibit A.

Today we took charge of our first batch of rescue chickens... These birds were about to be slaughtered so we purchased them with the aim of complete rehabilitation. A long road ahead but we are committed to giving them their best life. This poor bird is getting some love right now. #Rescue #Chickens

Do not talk to me about the 2028 presidential run. I'm not listening right now. Focus on November because how that shakes out will determine whether there is anything left to salvage in 2028. Say it with me: MIDTERMS

I got a slot to buy tickets for the '28 Olympics. My family is all there, so we thought it would be great to go down for them. Oh. my. god. The prices of these tickets. Closing Ceremonies? $5k Handball? $400 Track and Field? $1,400 I'm out.

I needed a good news story today and thought you might like it, too.

WHO LET THS HAPPEN? Are Trump's team sabotaging him on purpose? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump is completely gone… “DoorDash grandma” is at the White House to talk about no tax on tips, and Trump can’t even stay on topic. Immediately pivots to culture war bullshit. Trump: “Do you think men should play in women’s sports?” DoorDash grandma: “I’m here about no tax on tips.”

We can all see it. There is no denying it. Our president is severely mentally ill , and we have a why to deal with it. The 25th Amendment. If only we had true leaders that would act

Remember when Senile Satan was a “nurse” last June?

Man. Person. Camera. Jesus. Doctor.

Turns out he wasn’t the Messiah, just a very naughty boy. “Trump deletes post depicting him as Jesus-like figure after backlash” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This was the presser opening: "Formerly, press conferences worked in a way that the propaganda media asked questions that were written for them by govt... We will now give the floor to those Hungarian outlets who are still independent."

I have to say one of my absolute favourite interview moments with any politician ever was last year, when Iain Dale asked Rachel Reeves how she balances motherhood with being Chancellor. Her response: "There is no way that you'd have asked Rishi Sunak that". Very true, very girlboss.

🇭🇺🇷🇺 Péter Magyar on Russia: “If necessary, we will hold negotiations, but we will not become friends. The new government will focus on the real problems of Hungarians, not on foreign policy games.”

Spoken like a true multi-millionaire. Fucking prick.

Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

Hillary Clinton: "I think our allies believe we've lost our minds because they wake up in the morning like we do and see the rants from the president making no sense half the time"

The American president counts Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un as his friends while denouncing the Pope.

I think the main problem with mainstream political journalism these days is the credibility given to clearly preposterous people

Chinese electric vehicles are selling like hotcakes! There is a market for the electric vehicle. If we actually invest in the tech, and in public transit, we wouldn't convince ourselves that we have to go to war over and over again.

Of Mr. Trump’s threat “to wipe out the Iranian civilization .. The pope called the threat ‘truly unacceptable’ in remarks to reporters, and .. called those threats a ‘sign of the hatred, the division, the destruction human beings are capable of’ ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

"It is almost impossible to overstate the scale of the achievement in overthrowing him. Orban controlled the media. He controlled the information environment. He had direct control of the country’s media assets...he gerrymandered the electoral system..." Another excellent Substack...

Fair point, also true of Tusk in Poland in 2023, and good recommendation!

Extremely happy that Orban has lost but having JD humiliated yet again is the cherry on the top of that sundae. 😏
