What we seem to be seeing is a compliant Trump ally trying to rig a chamber they barely control. The result is chaos.

An under-reported facet of Nigel Farage is that he's repeatedly squealed about Parliament unfairly treating him and his taxi load of MPs. Obviously this is performative, but it's also a hint that he will attempt to subvert the sovereignty of parliament more and more as he grows more powerful.

Europe is preparing for war. It just is. They know they can't rely on (or trust) the USA, they know that Putin will go after a fractured NATO. We all have to understand that the era of the transatlantic alliance is over, and that we in Europe are alone, just as we were in 1939.

It's funny that the same right wing flag shaggers who we assumed would be tripping over themselves for guns if we went to war are suddenly all "no" when it comes to Russia. Maybe they need to start shagging the right flag. The one with the sickle.

So many have been calling for this and it is so so welcome! Leave no stone unturned, even if what you find underneath it is uncomfortable to look at.

Rob Reiner was correct on Trump. I'm beginning to wonder what the motives were of the person accused of his and his wife's murder, which is widely believed to be his son. 1/2

Again, what did we get out of Trump's State Visit to the UK? At the moment the decision is turning out to be a mini Brexit.

This is why I now take an utterly unashamed distaste for America's gun culture. It's killing their children but Americans aren't as-a-country doing enough to stop it. In most civilised nations the government would have stepped up and changed this or the people would have risen up and changed this.

"America is an ally" How? In what way? What deeds have they done since Trump took power in January that defines them as an ally of the United Kingdom? Btw, weapons sales don't count. If sales of products we need counted we would all be allies of supermarkets.

He's right. The German chancellor is labelling and communicating this perfectly. Bringing out the ghost of their worst ever leader is the right move. I like it.

This is spot on from Ed Davey. I guarantee that he'll ask this in the House of Commons, but that Starmer will dodge half the question, defend the BBC but not word it as an attack on the President. We are all cowering restaurant workers in a series about the mob. I assume Steve Schirripa is in it.

The BBC defamation suit filed by Donald Trump is a direct attack on the British taxpayer, it's also about cultivating a compliant media and it echoes attempts to do the same at home. But this isn't just a shakedown of media executives, this is a shakedown of every licence fee player in the UK. 1/3

This was utterly distasteful. Rob Reiner was a good man, Donald Trump is a piece of shit.

So, just confirming that giving Donald Trump a welcome from the UK that no foreign dignitary has ever had has given us exactly jack shit?

This guy is a fricking hero!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social is knitting together Carole Cadwallader, the head of M16 and the head of our armed forces, but at least 2 heads of NATO and multiple European leaders as well. We are in a hybrid war with Russia that most of us don't realise is happening. 1/2

Because this is what civilised countries do when hateful people manage to procure firearms. Australia needs to look at how they handle anti-semitism, just as every country does in this climate of anti-jew hate, but they are trying and they are doing the right things.

People talk about whether it's safe for Jews in Manchester, or Sydney, but imagine being a practicing Jewish person in a country where mass shootings are the norm and any Jew hating fuck can pick up a gun?

The same people laughing at Keir Starmer lighting the chanukiah on a day like today are the ones apparently angry at the events of today. Bigots are by their very nature stupid people.

I'm going to say it. The Israeli government criticising countries dealing with anti-semitic terrorism because of their unrelated support for Palestine is problematic. We have to be clear that Jewish people are not to blame for the situation in Palestine/Israel, and Israel needs to communicate that.

This is a cowardly attack on Jewish people celebrating Hanukkah. My thoughts are with the Jewish people of Australia and every other Jewish person understandably upset and scared right now. Anti-semitism has no place in society and as the Prime Minister said just now it must be eradicated.

While the Washington regime tries to carve up Ukraine and demonise Europe Trump's hero Putin continues to order strikes on the Ukrainian people. Fuck Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and JD Vance.

And then instead of having an elderly fascist in his 80's slowly dissolving before your eyes you have a sprightly tyrant in his 40's who will be fit enough to rule the United States with an iron fist for the next 30-40 years.

Spreading the word. If you live in the north eastern United States and can give blood, do so as soon as facilities open.

Americans are ignoring health warnings, snatching brown people off the streets and as a country they have never tackled the evil of mass shootings, so in 2025 measles are on a rampage and so are masked men with guns - some of whom work for the government.

Fact-check: true

This is really terrible news and my thoughts are with everyone affected. If only there was some way to stop this from happening.

This holiday season isn’t quite so merry for American shoppers as large shares are dipping into savings, scouring for bargains and feeling like the overall economy is stuck in a rut under President Donald Trump, a new AP-NORC poll finds. https://to.pbs.org/48Q4cL0

This is obviously bullshit, Trump is America's Grinch, stealing Christmas, and healthcare. He's Ebenezer Scrooge but without the ghosts.

At the very least you have to admit that the father of Donald Trump Jr arguing that he's going to war with a country to stop the flow of drugs into the United States is a bit silly.

The world's second richest man thinks that money equals intelligence. It does not.

BundesKanzler Merz went there! Wow! Spot on, but wow!

Is this how the US Armed Forces are going to commit war crimes then? By lying to themselves about the motives?

Wo sind Ihre Unterlagen?

The regime is pushing against the constitutional fact that a President cannot pardon people convicted of state crimes. Just as with ICE raids and soldiers on American streets they are normalising fascism and trying to force a confrontation to further their narrative of victimhood.

This is what will break Trump's stranglehold on America. Not just an organised resistance to the authoritarianism, but relatively neutral ordinary Americans who just want to be able to afford things again.

Imagine booking a holiday to Disneyworld, giving up your elderly father's name to the fascists at Homeland Security so your kids can see Mickey Mouse and Iron Man, and then killing him with a deadly strain of flu you picked up at Space Mountain. What a shithole America is turning into.

This is what happens when you have a country that wants to fight wars in Europe and a population that doesn't want their young to die in wars fought in Europe.

People giggle at the Trump condoms at Epstein Island, but what they don't know is that they were originally shower caps for action man dolls.

It's very important that people ignoring the seizure of our personal data by the US Government understand that they are already doing it to their own citizens. The GOP wants to know the names and addresses, email addresses and phone numbers of everyone willing to stand against them.

If any relative of mine gives the US Government my name, address, email address or phone number, it will be against my wishes.

The silliest comments I've heard about this are the ones from people who don't plan on going to the USA, they will demand your information from your relative who does want to visit the US Dave. It's an unwarranted search and seizure of the personal data of millions of people not visiting the USA.

Sky News making a big show of disclaiming the people in the Epstein photos right now, but we already know that Epstein's creepy Pedo Island hosted many of these people, and that none of them were put off by what they saw. That DOES suggest something.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the POS 34x convicted felon, DEADLY INSURRECTIONIST, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Donald Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

It's going to be impossible to release the files as they are AND protect Trump.

If I haven't hinted at it before I'll just come out with it, America is no longer an ally of the West. Having a relationship and selling weapons to us doesn't make us an ally, it makes us a customer.

This came from the US Embassy in London on Facebook, and once they apply the same rules on social media to tourists millions of people will be "instructed" to change their social media profiles to public. Not just travellers, but relatives not even making the trip. Chilling.

A warning from NATO.

I felt sorry for her, I pitied her, because she is capable of so much more than being the bicycle for hoards of shitty men, then she backs a man also willing to fuck a whole country and it really makes me sad.

As soon as the health experts correctly point out that perhaps you should maybe wear a mask during this flu season, because it's a pretty nasty one, the very political fraternity you expect to echo this sage advice runs off in multiple directions.
