The REFUK leadership, including ex-Tory Cabinet ministers, know that they can call a howling mob out onto the streets any time they want. A mob led by wife-beaters, nonces and career criminals. A mob they sanctify as the true face of Britain. This must end soon, or it will end very badly.

Recon @bbc6music.bsky.social can lay of the cloudbusting now. They all properly busted lads. Give it a rest.

Brilliant piece this

One of the worst comment pieces ever committed to print by the Graun. Riddled with fallacies, denialism and lazy, easily debunked misconceptions about the UK's place in the world and viable economic and policy choices available to it. How is this rube still on the payroll?

The one variable here is I don’t think there has ever been, in democratic times, an economic shock where you can point to a specific individual politician and go “it’s this guy’s fault”.

Trump is demonstrating the importance of credibility in international relations. He is not credible. He’s shown that others can’t trust what he says, and can’t act as if his stance will be the same tomorrow. He can’t communicate demands or make reliable offers. He made America’s word is worthless.

some people you can recruit, other people you have to simply defeat. politics makes more sense when you accept this

Trump's Suez crisis??!

Every now and then you just have to return to the Trump as a Russian asset theory don't you.

False. We are the only country stupid enough to elect a convicted rapist.

If civil society is showing courage with so little protection and support, why is the European Commission so afraid to capitalize on its own Digital Services Act wins, writes Alexandre Alaphilippe.

TACOs for lunch is it? Very good, very good.

To riff on a meme. In an ideal scenario the world's most narcissistic and sociopathic person and the President of the United States should not be the same person. Sadly we don't live in that world.

If a policy platform of "abolish the domestic terror agency" doesn't unite the Democrat party, you've got to wonder what they are for really.

This is one hell of a quote. European leaders really are running out of patience.

By any standard definition of the word, ICE is clearly a terrorist organisation

Just unplug it. Burn the mainframe to the ground. Drench it in acid and salt the earth at the X offices so nothing will ever grow again.

This platform functionality (if you can call it that) also fully negates any intermediary liability defence the platform might have held for illegal content uploaded by users. The platform itself is both producing and disseminating this content.

Agree with every single word of this. It didn't have to be this way.

This guy's association with James Cordon was always a massive red flag. Obsequious invertibrate

Immigration policy is a paracite that hosts in the brains of British governments, and hollows them from the inside out.

‘One in, one out’ deal will go ahead, says Liz Kendall after last-minute injunction

This is just *chef's kiss* The coffee, the fag, the bobs, the flag, the blithe racism. No notes.

[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that

I am having a stroke

This takes saying the quiet bit loud to a whole new level

Historical materialists of the world unite and takeover

That’s me in the hard hat, in front of the bucket of a terrifyingly enormous digger. What you can’t really tell from the picture is that my head was spinning. I’d just had one of those moments that change your life forever. It would set me off on a journey around the world…!🧵

Nothing but respect for my England cap wearing Prime Minister

The load-bearing myth at the heart of UK politics is that the politicians and media are tolerant and decent and working people are knuckle-dragging bigots, but it's actually completely the other way around.

Blimey. Hyde is usually pretty whithering in her put downs. Here she is just searingly angry, and with good cause imho www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

All of this. X is a burning bumpster fire of illegal hate speech. The lack of action from UK and EU policy makers is incredible at this point, moreso their continued presence on the platform.

I have been thinking (and saying) this for some time since quitting X. If an organisation is still posting there, what does it say about their values and judgement? There is no longer a way to use X in a "neutral" fashion. Just being there is an overtly politcal act

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

This is brilliant. Is Macron ever going home?! Hopefully not. He can just stay here and lecture the British people for their poor decisions

It’s Glasto 2026, a court order has ruled that the festival organisers will be arrested unless Ken Starmer has a say in the lineup: Oasis U2 Thom Yorke Radiohead Stormzy David Baddiel singing 3 Lions

the president just opened a concentration camp

We are SO fucking back

We are so fucking back

everyone who denigrated the Great British Summer will in ten years long for the Great British Summer

Love is love ✌️

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Whenever I complain about how hot it is people always say “just remember how you felt when it was freezing cold” Well guess what? I do remember and I really enjoyed it.

Looking forward to all of these features being fully open and interoperable to third parties in the EU under the #DMA!

For the first time in over a decade, Apple is redesigning iOS, the software that powers your iPhone. Here are the biggest changes you can expect. nyti.ms/4kNCG5V

Confused as to why the design theme the ICC has chosen for the #worldtestchampionshipfinal appears to be "family funeral" #WTC25 #WTCFinal #crictketlovelycricket

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

The state of America's bread disqualifies it from any serious claim to being a developed country
