WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THERE'S VIDEO OF THESE TWO!!!! 🐣 🪶

Yeah!

Good call.

Just think May is basically treated like an unfortunate victim rather than the PM who inherited a difficult situation and turned it into a completely unmanageable mess. But hey - opinions differ, recollections vary and all that.

Once again - Starmer is busily delivering exactly the kind of policies Reform voters say they want and everyone is unhappy because those policies make everything rubbish.

Somehow I missed this, but a worker *died* at the spacex facility in Texas. It's classified as an "accident" but there's no coincidence- spacex has 6x the worker injury rate compared to other aerospace companies. Until we regulate them, oligarchs will always prioritize power and profit over people.

Rachel Reeves gets heckled by some lout and Reform take the opportunity to confirm they’re right behind threatening, intimidatory behaviour. While of course whimpering about Farage’s need for £5m worth of “security”.

Yes indeed, this reflects my perception: to much of the media it's all about "what people feel", not what politicians will do.

4 times as many have gone to Greens as to ReFuk. But Burnham is still aiming for the ReFukkers.

Russia attacked Ukraine with 116 drones and a missile overnight, while Ukrainian air defenses neutralized 109 UAVs. Here is what is known about the consequences: 🔴Chernihiv region. One person was killed and two others injured in a Russian drone strike on the Novhorod->>

“The researchers found that “large chunks of airtime were dedicated to vox pops”, which featured in 26.3% of all Welsh television news items covering the election, at the expense of coverage of actual policy or political claims.

Alongside the other Sunderland MPs, I wrote to the incoming Reform Leader of Sunderland Council regarding worrying comments made by several of his councillors. A full copy of the letter can be seen below 🌹👇

A lot of our discourse seems to assume that 1) these wrong beliefs somehow arise naturally and 2) politicians have a duty to behave as if these wrong beliefs are true. It saves asking questions about old and new media, or doing anything brave, but it’s rotting our society and economy.

"Net-zero is killing our economy" – Richard Tice, MP for Boston and Skegness

This looks as inept as the Conservative government that Starmer replaced

Destroying our national credibility at EU level, while helping to destroy the #climate system, that’s quite the double whammy from Ireland ahead of taking over the EU Presidency in July. www.euractiv.com/news/ireland...

Look at this graph…then read the report. Faragist types have got what they want and still aren’t voting Labour. Because it was never really about the numbers after all. bsky.app/profile/gsoh...

The UK has been on a crazed migration rollercoaster. We're now going to way overshoot and likely end up with net emigration next year. Should take evasive measures immediately.

This is a damning indictment of the abject failure of UK media. Damning report says most voters don't know truth about Nigel Farage's claims www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The latest immigration stats are out. I'll share a few things as I go through to write up an article for Free Movement. First thing: asylum claims have fallen 12% compared to the previous year. www.gov.uk/government/s...

Farage has devastated our country. His Brexit campaign has crippled our growth, our businesses, and our opportunities. His rhetoric on immigration has poisoned our political debate and sowed deep division in our nation. He can never be allowed to enter Number 10.

Yet more evidence of Russia’s rottenness and desperation ….more trickery and human trafficking landing unsuspecting people, this time from Burundi, on Russia’s front line.

Not sure this is a huge surprise, but would be good to be accurate about what’s being backed. It’s not just that they “double the length of time it takes for some people to achieve settled status from five years to 10” - for most people it will start at 15 years. For most refugees, it’s 20 years.

Donald Trump should be on the hook to restore the East Wing out of his own pocket. He tore it down based on a unilateral decision; our tax dollars should not have to pay for this shit. And I know I’m not the only one suspecting the real plan is to never leave.

Labour’s great white hope’s incapable of standing his ground if Reform call him a name? Okay, good to know I guess

Zelenskyy: “If, in the coming weeks, we manage to return to meaningful trilateral communication and involve the Europeans, this would be the right outcome. For our part, we are ready for such steps. I count on our partners to be ready as well – and that the Russians will not hide.”

Three selfless men, likely, saved the lives of over a hundred children.

It’s time for a grown up discussion about the future of our nation and our role in the world. My contribution to the King’s Speech debates focused on the problems we are still being caused by the Brexit given to us by Nigel Farage and the Conservatives. 1/3

So, if he's going to stick with a hardline and frankly cruel immigration policy and thinks we should stay out of the EU and wants to reform the election system but only after the next election, what, I ask, is the actual fucking point of it all?

yes. another crucial element is it's all for something that many people (myself included) don't want. i didn't make a fuss about data centers before ai because they were necessary for, ya know, email, and my blog, and the rest of the internet. but the new swell is for swill, which i can do without

This precedent could also be applied to government officials who blow people up in boats without a declared war, due process, evidence, or trial.

NEW: The $1B ballroom provision has been STRIPPED from the Republican budget bill.

One of the largest community-owned #solar farms in the 🇬🇧 UK is now crowdfunding to invest in #batteries, too. The nearly 36K solar panels installed demonstrate what can be achieved when a #renewable energy project is co-owned by local people . It generates clean energy for 7K homes during the day.

📉 Russia may have lost approximately 30% of its gasoline production and 25% of its diesel production, - Reuters In fact, all major refineries in the central part of the country, with a combined capacity of 83 million tons of oil per year, have been shut down or forced to reduce production.

Riyad Mansour is miles above every single one of these wretched miscreants, miles and miles above, an honorable and dignified representative of our people. This is disgraceful and disgusting, these accusations reek of desperation and are a tacit admission of guilt.

In February, after nearly a year of undermining EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD)—the agency’s independent science hub—EPA leadership moved to finally terminate the office altogether.

He promised to release his tax returns as soon as there were no more audits pending, and now there are no more audits pending.

Today I spent the day doing a great big bed-changing from winter duvet etc to summer silk blankets given the anticipated heat wave. Goose down duvets all aired outside. Duvet covers got 60C washes. Beds remade. Now I’m feeling cold.

Labour moving on from its past mistakes by recreating them identically.
