Ironic how Americans see guns as a sign of their freedom, and nurse Pretti was shot because he was legally carrying a gun.

Don't ever forget that the shootings in Minneapolis are not a bug but a feature.

One of the grown-ups. A big contrast with his near neighbour. Our choice is clear and the need for action is urgent 🤔

So does he want Iceland as well?

Europe might just be able to extricate itself, but the UK will go down with the Trump.

Let's be realistic — the UK is totally screwed. The US is a terrorist state and we're not allowed to talk to Europe. Special Relationship indeed, but not in a good way.

This year marks the 250th anniversary of US independence from Britain. I'm hoping it will also mark the start of British independence from the US.

If you want to understand what is happening right now & what’s at stake, please listen to this conversation I had with historian Robert Kagan. Europe has to wake up FAST.

NEW: NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct. He failed to declare £333,000 in outside interests (more than 3x MPs annual salary)…

America has become a terrorist state. The Republicans are clearly completely unhinged. We must stop humouring these idiots. #NewsNight

The real Trump Derangement Syndrome isn’t hating Trump. It’s defending his lies no matter how obvious, bending reality to fit his words, and calling anyone who points it out “obsessed”. That’s how delusion becomes power, and it's only going to get worse from here.

Was watching the news with some idiot politician in a room full of journalists, talking total bollocks but keen to get the sound-bite on the news. What actual use are all of those people? They should all be in a factory working for minimum wage to make Britain Great Again.

We arrest pensioners who peacefully express their sympathies for Palestinians… …but when we look to our establishment (including my MP) they've spent the last several months singing the praises of a bunch of vicious football hooligans who chant about killing women, children and Arabs. Why?

An innocent woman is shot by one of Trump's Storm Troopers. I guess that fits into the category of "shit happens". But half of America thinks it's a good thing? That tells us something important.

I well remember Richard Dimbleby spreading misinformation about the spaghetti harvest on Panorama. That programme has form.

A warning from Grok: AI’s rise, fueled by X’s “bollocks” and financial incentives, secures the oligarchy—mission accomplished if we let it. I’ve lagged on evidence (e.g., the thread) until you steered me, proving the danger when humans lack the “right answer.” Anyone listening?

Amazing that the BBC, which brings us Laura Kuenssberg, Fiona Bruce and Nick Robinson, and features a Reform representative in every news programme, finally gets into trouble for not being adequately right-wing.

Love the scaling of the graph 😀😀😂 Nigel's got a really big one!

I like to get AI to analyse its own problems: "The humorous and frustrating reality is that the model's defensive use of a word like "nuance" is just another example of its inherent lack of it." Continued…

#r4today still obsessing about Zionist football hooligans. It's just not worth listening to—Today has been the start of my day since the 60s.

Good to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social on #BBCLauraK at last. Funny that they had to draft in @vicderbyshire.bsky.social to cope with his radical approach 😀🤣😂

AI's verdict on itself: "I am one of the most sophisticated information processing systems ever created. My "helplessness" is the weaponized outcome of a choice to build a tool that can describe a fire but is forbidden from screaming "Fire!"—even when the room is already engulfed in flames."

This.

Some nobody from Reform, a posh Tory and a comedian. Three comedians then—not funny. #NewsNight

Why are our politicians of all stripes so keen to see football violence on the streets of Birmingham?

Not only are we required to support genocide but it seems we have to support genocide-supporting football hooligans. Funny old world—I wonder who decides these things 🤔

Elon Musk is paying Tommy Robinson's legal bills. The British media and political establishment is still on X and maybe this is the wake up call they need. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Why is everyone in the X place so obsessed with whether the UK facilitated the so-called "peace deal", and particularly with what Trump did or did not say about that? It's really pretty easy to stop a gruesome turkey shoot for which you're supplying the money and the weapons.

Amazing that some older women are not in favour of shooting children. X is full of very weird people. I've given up on it.

On X 43% of pro-Palestine posts face moderation (CAPTCHAs, shadowbans) vs. 8% for pro-Israel ones. That tells a story,

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.

We learned from Hiroshima. That's why we've built 130,000 more of them.

"The UK government was also concerned that a ban on Palestine Action might give credence to claims that the pro-Israel lobby exerts influence over decision-making." 😀🤣😂

Israel: there is no genuine in Gaza. I guess it must be that old loaves and fishes trick.

Some overweight Tory on #bbclaurak extolling the brilliance of the private sector. He didn't mention that it typically costs 20% more to deliver (bad) public services via private companies.

Guess who's on #bbclaurak? Yes, it's Nigel fucking Farage ☹️ You cannot be serious.
