I hope there will come a time when we look back on these days as the darkest days of our lives, but it is hard to be optimistic. The end of Trump, Putin, Netanyahu and oligarchical control is desperately needed for humanity and the planet.

As someone who has spent more time than I would have wished there over the last couple of months, I can only echo these sentiments.

A rejoin the EU poll need some help swiftly! #Rejoin www.dailymail.com/news/article...

Booking closes Friday for the Masterclass at @cymerafestival.co.uk from June 3-5. Are you a new writer with questions about feedback, editing, the publishing industry, and other related topics? I'll be answering all! (plus you'll get a folk horror workshop!) www.cymerafestival.co.uk/programme-26...

If the will of the people as expressed in a referendum can never be revisited and must be respected, we'd have stuck with the result of the 1975 EC referendum (especially given its very decisive 67% 'stay in' vote).

oh gr8 more months of politicians humming & hawing over whether Brexit has been disastrous for the UK rather than treating the public like adults and saying it’s been a disaster inflicted by Farage

How to change this debate. " Being outside the EU costs every UK household an average of £8,300 every year. But being inside again would only cost each UK household £38 every year. Do you still think we should stay out? "

What yesterday’s tiny turnout tells me is that Britain has had enough of far right agitators attempting to subvert our democracy, weaponise tragedies, divide us all, and flood our streets with racist wife-beater addled pissheads who literally piss all over our beautiful capital.

👀 WATCH Reform voters waking up to Reform policies, brilliant 🤩 Privatising NHS… Oh Jesus no. Reducing min wage… It’s not worth working as it is. Conclusion: “They’re trying to reform like a Dickensian authority where we are living in smog and no one has any rights unless you’re rich or white.”

Uh...

This is just heartbreaking. WTF is wrong with some humans?

If he was willing to say “Up the RA” for £87, what do you think he’d be willing to do for £5 million?

Any chance of this being top of the headline news?

What do we really want a PM to be? I can tell you lots of things I don't want, and Starmer ticks most of those boxes. The available alternatives in both the short and long term all look worse.

Just hold on Jack, we've elected a Reform councillor and they're sure to get here and fix the pothole once they've figured out which council they work for...

There appears to be a real vitriolic dislike of Starmer amongst the electorate. To show real leadership class he could embrace this and say he is not interested in a popularity contest, and then sell the people around him and the policies. It is nigh impossible to sell oneself, but people hear a 1/2

@labourlewis.bsky.social your long Twitter post last night is possibly THE most brilliant, insightful, brutally honest yet inspiring analysis of where the 🇬🇧 stands, history +all that I’ve ever read🥳 It’d be an utter shame if the KGB News rumours are true that you step down for AB to become an MP😢

The argument for freedom of movement really needs to be made daily/hourly – long before we even get onto Rejoin. Because the entirety of British politics is still tiptoeing around it (see the Libdems proposing a customs union).

One of those wards is nearly adjacent to mine where I was faced with the ghastly dilemma of a tactical vote against reform meant voting conservative. I couldn't bring myself to do it, but was mildly thankful that con won rather than ref. To be fair, con councillor has ok record on local issues.

Bloody hell.

I’m so relieved that people didn’t learn a fucking thing from the Brexit vote.

So tragic… That the people who have been lied to and left behind by politicians for decades …are now falling for the most transparent con of all.

Groundhog Day. How utterly depressing that these dismal people get to fail us all over again. Big hand to the media for their starring role in this hellcycle of corruption, dishonesty and betrayal.

Reform is a protest party. A protest against decency, integrity, kindness, expertise, and progress. It's a party of pettiness and hate, and it is made up of petty and hateful people from the grassroots to the very top. What it doesn't have is competence. So good luck with the bins and potholes.

Good morning. This is the only frog I want to see today, thank you. And all you re-fuckers who thought Brexit was a great idea and now believe Farage will be your saviour, please take a long hard look in the mirror.

Public service announcement: Electing your local roundabout painting racist to your local council today will not (a) get Starmer out (b) free Palestine or (c) stop the boats. It WILL fuck up your local services. Don’t pretend you weren’t warned.

Any other politician. Any other party. This would be wall to wall media scrutiny. Farage and Reform shouldn’t be able to move without this being thrown at them. Venal brokers to crypto billionaires and fossil fuel magnates. A corrupt man leading a corrupt party. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It’s at 96k! Can you help get this petition to over 100k for a Commons debate? Please share. 🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

Currently in an NHS hospital and even in the least ethnically diverse part of England I would estimate over 80% of front line nursing/nurse assistant roles filled by wonderful people not ethnically white British. Labour's policies are insane. They should be promoting the value of immigration.

When these bastards are finally thrown in jail and left to rot, ALL of their wealth should be stripped from them and used to compensate those they’ve abused, locked up and murdered and to create a decent healthcare system.

1/9 I’ve been working on something a bit deeper than my usual threads. I started writing it when the first peace talks were announced. Shelved it when they collapsed. Now they’re back on the table — so I’m putting it out before they begin. #IranWar #PeaceTalks #Hormuz #MaritimeAnalysis

Trump lost this war in every possible sense — morally, legally, politically, economically, reputationally, and strategically.

Me reading about legal & constitutional remedies.

Hi @brexitpirates.bsky.social Have you fixed your steering yet? Glad the issue became apparent before you got far. Best wishes for the trip

This last week has been a bit miserable after my trauma op a fortnight ago. I've got severe Farage syndrome; I'm completely full of shit and have had incessant gripes. At least I'll get better.

My summary of last night in the US...

Good morning bluesky. Strange night in the USA. Two moments of supposedly national importance. First, NASA, with the motto "For the benefit of all" successfully launched ship "Integrity" as part of a long term plan for bold exploration into the future. Then Trump tried to save his own skin.

Ditto for UK

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Brits - your cut out and keep guide to when to expect Reform Rage.

I've made a bit of a mess of my three year old hip replacement by falling downstairs whilst groping for the loo in the early hours. Snapped the femur where the metal went in. Silly bugger.☹️ Thank god for the NHS rather than Farage's shit insurance.

Ferrari trying to backtrack on Trump's war. Now saying he thought the UK should have allowed use of bases and that Starmer has "subsequently come round to that way of thinking." The lying bullfrog was *actually* lambasting Starmer for not taking part in the strikes, like all the other c**ts were.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)

Well worth a read if you like some facts...

If God existed, none of Trump, Netanyahu or Khameinei would have. 🤔

President Donald Trump criticises Keir Starmer and the UK's initial response to US-Israeli strikes on Iran, saying "this is not Winston Churchill we're dealing with" Yeah and you’re not Abraham Lincoln, you narcissistic orange scumbag.
