"If you want a picture of the future, imagine Liz Truss grovelling for the attention of a far-right billionaire - forever"

Liz Truss didn't need much help in engineering the downfall of the Truss government.

Yes, plenty of Labour members really are this stupid.

“Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage” @carolecadwalla.bsky.social 👇 #BBC

From the man who spends every waking hour complaining...

Ant Middleton combines racism with ignorance about the world wars as he continues his racist campaign to lose his Mayor of London deposit (when he advocates a racist bar on the current Mayor from offiice + over two-thirds of the London electorate if their grandparents weren't born here!)

“When I was [at the BBC], at the height of Boris Johnson’s strength, that fear was ubiquitous. Scripts were sometimes written with a view not solely to their impartiality or truth, but the management of perception of impartiality from one side of the spectrum.“ @lewisgoodall.com

Like Hollyoaks, but with Trots.

NEW: Rachel Reeves signals she intends to remove the two-child cap *in full* "I don't think a child should be penalised because they're in a bigger family through no fault of their own," she tells BBC.

There are British Trump fans on Twitter openly begging him to sue the BBC so we the tax payer can hand him a few million. What a time to be alive.

I'm so, so sick of hearing about immigration. It's like a foghorn 24/7. On the news. In the papers. In the shops and the pub. In the coffee shop. For God's sake just knock it off - yeah it's important, but it's not the only or even the main thing going on. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Especially if we reduce it to small boats crossing the channel.

Our expectations were low but fucking hell. "The Irish", is it bsky.app/profile/ciar...

Actually, I wear the iridescent green poppy that commemorates the trillions of insects who died in both world wars.

Seems petty but I strongly resent Truss turning up at the Cenotaph. Quite apart from her appalling record on literally everything, she's gone full Twitter Fash and as such is the antithesis of everything my friends died for.

It’s true. My team are in the Championship and there’s truly nothing like celebrating a goal (after maybe a one-second glance to the linesman). When you go from that to a stadium with VAR you really notice the difference.

Johnson looks like he's rolled in from an all-nighter at the Bullingdon Club. No Labour politician could get away with turning up like that. Look at the state of his shoes. He's an entirely direspectful, self-absorbed, grifting, lying tosspot. .

I don’t think it’s inappropriate to have some news stories about migration issues but it is very odd indeed for BBC 6 Music, a station essentially targeted at hipster leftie middle-aged people, to be majoring on asylum seeker stories as much as it does.

Over the next couple of weeks or so, our increasingly dishonest media are going to act as if no British government in history has ever broken a manifesto pledge.

Laurence Fox is never again going to be able to threaten to sue anybody for calling him, an increasingly overt racist, racist

www.bigissue.com/news/politic... It's a long, long list.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Heartening to see the Conservative former secretary of state for Justice pointing out how very unfunded the prisons system is. Rather a pity his timing wasn't a little better, because just a tenth of the money used on unnecessary pre election tax cuts could have made a huge difference

When i was a little boy I bounced around between two homes. One full of snooker on the telly noise, sharing a bed with coats on-top to keep warm, mince & tatties every night, and the other, empty, full of echoes and me with a room on my own on the top floor. You can guess where a kid felt safer.

You must have held at least one (1) real job to opine on "the workplace". Blogger does not count. Conservative think tank does not count.

The government have been rolling the pitch for tax rises for a month, your intervention here is not going to change their plans, and all this is going to do is make things more difficult for the party that you are deputy leader of. It’s an actively, aggressively stupid intervention on every level.

For as many years as anyone been counting two or more inmates been mistakenly released from British prisons most weeks. Record does not make it acceptable. System needs to be fixed. It does leave me asking why BBC now gripped by end-of-civilisation hysteria heard on Radio 4 Today programme.

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that. But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal. You can’t negotiate with people like that.

Abby Spanberger will now be governor of Virginia, Mikie Sherrill governor of NJ. I wrote about both of them, and their friend group, last year www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

New York is not the US. The results in Virginia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are far more politically significant. The huge California redistricting approval will have the greatest practical impact. Trump being a lame duck loser everywhere will hurt him to the core. He will lash out violently.

So a weird thing happened to me in Aldi that I cdn't quite place until I was listening to Gabby Bertin talking about choking in porn on the radio this am. (NB: this is 100% not a sex thing). Having the usual polite chitchat with the cashier who is tired from working extra shifts to make £ for xmas..

That will be exciting.

"I really loved the Ants & we did something special. We had a ball & we pulled it off. But it went wrong thru overwork & too much pressure. We allowed ourselves to dive in & do a 2nd album too quickly after Kings." #OnThisDay #HappyBirthday to Stuart Leslie Goddard aka #AdamAnt

Anyway, stoked to see how the political tendency that has spent decades cutting mental health funding, advocating for driverless trains and mocking attempts to ban big knives deals with a train driver and guard’s swift action helping end a mentally ill man’s rampage with a big knife.

Once again, it is incredible to think we have had more coverage over a letting agent messing up the Chancellor of the Exchequer's selective license than a former MEP taking bribes from Russia.

Nigel Farage, who has so far registered a total of £280,500 for four hours a month as a "brand ambassador" for a company selling gold bars, thinks a £10 an hour minimum wage for young people is too high bylinetimes.com/2025/11/03/n...

It was never really just about immigration. It was always about racism.

The constant baying for an ethnicity is utterly grim.

Matt Goodwin attributes a crime that he now knows appears to have been committed by people born in Britain in the early 1990s to "mass uncontrolled immigration"

The police continue to investigate the motive for last night's stabbings. Their initial statement is they don't have grounds to believe it was a terrorist motivated attack Elected Reform Durham county councillor Darren Grimes posted this political attack on the assumption it was an Islamist attack

We have a media problem, don't we? A massive one.

The screeching handbrake turn from Everyone Left Of Norman Tebbit Is A Fragile Snowflake to Don’t Go Outside, It’s Full Of Blacks And Crime has to be seen to be fully believed

Adam Ant at Portsmouth Guildhall last night. He was great. I got a little bit emotional 😢

As someone who plans to buy a really, really expensive house as soon as he wins the Euromillions I am very much against this proposal www.ft.com/content/8fce...

As another weekend of Barclay’s Premier League football gets underway, and a massacre is still unfolding in El Fasher, we cannot lose sight of the fact that the same people who are funding the slaughter in Sudan also own Manchester City Football Club. It is a national disgrace.

There is not a single political party or mass movement in Palestine that advocates for this idea. Or in Israel for that matter. A British politician making such statement is doing imperialism pure and simple. Giving up on an independent Palestinian state is for Palestinians to decide on. Not you.

Reform UK's Matt Goodwin's response to Prince Andrew and Epstein is to talk about Pakistani grooming gangs preying on white girls Far right populists don't care about rich white men in grooming gangs abusing white girls #BBCQT
