They have normalised austerity and hardship - so we accept it as normal. It isn’t. The sixth largest economy in the world, and record food banks. Something is dreadfully, dreadfully wrong with that picture.

My penny's worth: This is the cleanest, shrewdest way for monarchy to cauterize the wound: misbehaviour while in a politically-appointed civil position, rather than alleged sex offences enabled by royal status. My hunch is that no UK police force would arrest the King's brother without a Palace nod.

I reckon Andrew Windsor will sing like a canary, under pressure. Everyone else in the Epstein files should be very worried.

So it turns out Matt Goodwin's Reform campaign manager was a holocaust-denying Nazi who said he would "never touch a Jewish woman.” When do we start seeing all the coverage of the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK? www.jewishnews.co.uk/reform-uk-su...

"Hi, I just came to pick up the birthday cake I ordered. The Happy Birthday Andrew one. That's right, 66 candles on top and file inside."

Royal Mail isn't delivering letters to maximise profit. English water is filled with sewage and is killing people. UK Energy is the most expensive in the world. All of these things are privatised and all of them are the worst ever.

So, apparently, travelodge only allows you to use the WiFi for 30 minutes every 24 hours. Tight fuckers.

There has been very little biathlon coverage on the BBC. It's my favourite event. I found one event on iPlayer (not listed but hidden amongst other events), and I saw one live. #Olympics

I've now given up on #TraitorsIreland and just googled to see who won. (No spoilers.) My takeaways (compared to the UK version): • Zero strategic thinking from the traitors; • Much more aggressive; • Lots of talking but not much listening (everyone getting the wrong end of the stick; >

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

Just a reminder that you should delete all your social media if you plan to go to the World Cup this year.

It's amazing that a government that seems to u-turn on virtually every policy they announce is stubbornly sticking to this one – even in the face of the high court ruling it unlawful. You'd be forgiven for thinking it had something to do with all the funding they receive from the pro-Israel lobby.

Yet @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social @iaindale.bsky.social James O’Brien and @lbc.co.uk still push the bullshit line that this murderous, white supremacist regime, has a right to defend itself. They would condemn my description above, before condemning the convicted psycho Ben-Gvir

To Labour supporters in Gorton and Denton: are you loyal to traditional Labour values (from before Starmer & Co. threw them out the window in order to chase right-wing votes)... or are you just loyal to the name "Labour"? Because if you want an MP who fights for YOU, you should vote Green this time

Ellie Chowns, "Reform UK, before it was the Brexit Party, before when it was UKIP, has been busy for many years fermenting this idea that immigration is the problem in this country" "It's completely untrue" "Inequality is the problem in this country"

I'm a Generation-Xer, but I'm not sure who it is that I'm supposed to hate the most. Boomers, Millennials, or Gen-Z. Please advise. (Don't want to let my team down.)

A government enthralled to men and corporations drunk on power is the rot at the centre of the Mandelson scandal. Of all seven of the Nolan principles, openness can help build back the most trust. Every MP, like me, should release logs of all lobbying meetings.

Listen to @zackpolanski.bsky.social If he can speak up on behalf of you and me and make a rational case for a #WealthTax on the obscenely rich why the f*ck can’t Labour? Because they’re owned — locked stock and well scraped barrel — by those same elites that resent chipping in. #VoteGreen

Journalists do not like direct and honest answers that debunks their preferred narrative. Just watch her face every time a truth hits its mark.

Helping people so they don’t starve or lose their homes “Sounds good in theory”…but what about the elite? She’s pretty funny.

Labour's other headache, lol. #VoteGreen 🗳️

Watching the Snow Boarding 'Big Air' and I have no idea what the commentators are saying. #Olympics "Switch backside 19 melon ridden goofy."

I wish I was a world-class rugby player just so I could give Henry Pollock a smack in the mouth. #SixNations

Well, that was tense! Well played Italy! #SixNations

Currently watching Italy playing Scotland at waterpolo. #SixNations

..... the economy in the process. 4) He has cravenly cosied up to a vile and racist president in the US. No "special relationship" justifies that. 5) He has not had the courage to tackle the folly of Brexit and is dithering on his approach to Europe. He has betrayed the trust of all of us.

The rot runs right through this Labour government. Starmer made Mandelson ambassador to the US despite knowing of his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He must go. Streeting must cancel the NHS contract with Palantir which has Mandelson's hands all over it.

Toynbee says she doesn't understand the dislike for a "decent man". So let me help then ...... 1) He has backtracked on EVERY promise he made when getting elected 2) He gave unequivocal backing to a genocide in Gaza 3) He has made utterly ridiculous decisions on tax and spend and hobbled .......

PLEASE 🙏..........

When will Starmer go? 1. Before the end of February; 2. After the Gorton by-election; 3. After the local elections; 4. Before the next GE; or 5. After the next GE. Opinions please.

Saturday. 10am. Denton. Biggest action day ever? We have to stop Reform. Let’s elect Hannah Spencer 💚 actionnetwork.org/events/big-d...

I just heard Cliff Richard's 'Living Doll' on the radio. I'd never noticed before how disturbing the lyrics are.

Gosh - Farage suggesting Starmer has poor judgement. When will the media look at Farage? Obviously the PM should be held to a higher standard, but the would-be king needs to be scrutinised.

It'll be interesting to see if France are really that good or if Ireland were just very poor. A bit of both I suspect. #SixNations

@itvx.com doing ads DURING the match! This is the #SixNations not the NFL ffs!

@hildur.bsky.social Just out of curiosity, how do pronounce your name? Do pronounced the 'K' or is it silent.

Zack Polanski, "Palantir.. £240 million contract last month" "That was lobbied by Global Counsel which is Peter Mandelson's lobbying group" "The idea that a defence company from the US has its fingerprints all over our healthcare system, alongside Peter Mandelson"

You'd have thought Starmer would have 'forensically' scrutinised Mandleson's record before appointing him.

Tony Benn… nearly 40 years ahead of the pack 👇

That would be because the right wing / continuity-Britain media ecosystem knows he can be relied upon to be a faithful servant to their interests. Even more faithful than Starmer.

Keep sharing these…

You can judge a person by who their friends are... AND by who their enemies are.

Labour is actively protecting the Epstein class and hiding their crimes from you

"We need politicians who will tell it straight..." @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.

Questions about Mandelson, his heinous crimes and how much Starmer knew. Dan Norris, elected as Lab MP, arrested - 2 counts of rape. Tulip Siddiq sentenced to 4 years. I wonder why Labour have made 3 attack videos about me in the last 24 hours? They're done. Finished. Toast.

Just saw this on another platform. Apparently, this was written by Jeremy Clarkson. I find it hard to believe. I never thought I'd agree with a single word he said.
