Honestly think you’d almost be able to sense a national release of tension if Starmer put this kind of sentiment into action. That would mean a rethink on a fair few policies - particularly immigration. But the sigh of relief from the country would be palpable. He might even start to enjoy it.

Well done Mr Mayor

The judgment in Michelle Mone’s case is due tomorrow. We can’t find a big enough 👀 emoji. https://www.thetimes.com/article/60806750-7d20-4725-93e7-c8d9be36711b

I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.

The idea that those thugs will make women feel safer on the street, at home, or anywhere else... or anybody else, just shows how Farage and Robson/Yaxley-Lennon, Tice, et al, are happy to say anything which they think will excite and inspire their supporters. Gaslighting is all they can offer.

1st, 🖕 2nd, no, there is not ‘investment’. Investors, tourists, humans are avoiding the US like the plague you are. 3rd, what an embarassment America is. It’s like they found the craziest moron on the planet, coated them with brown spray paint, put a mic in front of them & said have at ‘er. #Never51

Nigel Farage's speech in full:

The President turning the military against Americans is a bigger story than the shutdown and media outlets should treat it accordingly.

Trump: "We're gonna have safe cities again. We're gonna be going to Chicago pretty soon because a friend of mine, great guy, head of the Union Pacific, said, 'Sir, you have to save Chicago. It's going bad."

If you heard the leader of another nation threatening to unleash the military against his perceived political enemies, what would you call it?

She told America. We told America. Now, it's here.

I’m fighting for Eric Adams’ voters. Andrew Cuomo is fighting for his donors.

Is this supposed to be a recruiting video?

Hey, car makers. Logos and badges that light up are the epitome of tackiness, only just edging out illuminated grilles. Yours, Everyone with an idea of what taste is

Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

We see Farage’s thugs on the streets at so-called demos, terrorising people and urinating in public, pissed or coked out of their heads. Suggesting that Reform people are intimidated by Starmer calling them what they are - racists - is straight out of the Trump playbook - gaslighting 1.01

The US military has to be planning something after those speeches because America, as the world knows it to be, is lost.

I kid you not. Americans are now subsidizing Argentinian soybean exports to China. At the same time. American farmers are selling none to China.

Military leaders have raised serious concerns with the Trump administration’s forthcoming defense strategy, exposing a divide between the Pentagon’s leadership as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth summons top brass to a highly unusual summit.

Embarrassing for Britain's flagship broadcaster, really

Is it too high an expectation for the WH reporters to ask hard questions or fact-check Trump on his obvious lies as he says them? Instead, they ask the next question, giving him more opportunity to lie. Networks are worse. They have time to fact-check, but instead broadcast the lies to the world.

Today we honour Truth and Reconciliation. The day honours the lost children and survivors of residential schools, their families and communities. In Canada, we acknowledge our past history and pledge to move forward in truth. Take a moment to honour to support the survivors & their descendants.

Better late than never.

Wild that a drunk white dude gets to give an important speech on the importance of being violent and mediocre just because people confuse seeing one minority on the street with the apocalypse

I have zero sympathy for Nigel Farage’s feelings. That rat bastard wants to deport half my wife’s coworkers, my dentist, several friends, my neighbours, a gal who works in my pub, and like 40 people from my church

20 yrs ago today I took the last of my 'chemo biscuits'. By now my throat was so contracted and my mouth so ulcerated I could hardly get them down. I lived on a diet of melon (honeydew only, the others all stung) and porridge for the next 3 weeks. Still here though. Thank u The Christie. Thank u NHS

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth. Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

As insightful as ever, making the point that people should focus more on the substance of what Andy Burnham is proposing rather than get caught up in the soap opera of leadership challenges. open.spotify.com/episode/5qJA...

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

YouTubers are earning up to £20,000 a month by making provocative videos that have targeted a Norfolk hotel used to house asylum seekers. Hotels up and down the country are regularly targeted by content creators known as ‘auditors’.

👇🏽😳

I can’t think of any reason to completely wreck the ag markets in entire United States other than purposeful sabotage. A fire sale on farmland.

That's not an opinion, it's counting.

I have generally been heartened by Pritzker's rhetoric, but we need more right now than him telling us to keep filming ICE. People have been detained for doing that. People across Chicagoland have been brave, and we need brave leadership. We need more of a plan than urging individual action.

Embarrassingly moronic bullshit that tens of millions believe. The worst part of it is they know they are lying but trust that their voters won’t know the difference or care. They have to distract from Trump wrecking the economy and driving prices up somehow.

attacking Starmer for buying a field so that his disabled mother could watch her beloved donkeys is possibly the dumbest line of inquiry ever as well summed up by Rob Hutton here: thecritic.co.uk/donkey-work/

Since every Republican in Congress is repeating their false talking point over & over that “Democrats want to shut down the govt to give free healthcare to illegal aliens,” it would be helpful if some Democrats in Congress could address that argument with facts at some point.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Terrible headline on a good article. It’s the world’s taste for MEAT that’s fuelling Amazon destruction. The soya is cattle feed.

In case anyone's looking for me, I'll be protesting down at the movie dock where the foreign movies are shipped in.

I think they just want to be paid properly so they can work in the NHS. because, unlike Wes, they don't receive enormous bungs from private healthcare interests.

My thesis is that no matter how doomer you were in Nov. 2024, we're probably past your worst-case scenario for the first 9 months of this administration. It's very strange for me to realize I wasn't pessimistic enough. www.thebulwark.com/p/we-are-in-...
