1/8 The UK energy headlines are about to get loud again. Before that happens, here’s a simple explanation of how the systems actually work, that I created for my students a while ago and have updated to 2026. It explains why the risk is often misunderstood. #UK #Energy #EnergySecurity

@lewisgoodall.com Lewis, if you ever get Jan Halper-Hayes on your show again (big ‘if’) I’d be interested to hear her reflections on her comments back in 2016. If she considered Trump ‘psychologically unbalanced’ then what in the world would she consider them now? www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/worl...

OK. My career just peaked.

'That's not AI?! That's genuine?' @mrjamesob.bsky.social can't believe who Donald Trump sounds like in this Iran update.

Folks, we need your help

Comedy is all about timing. #pmqs

I see Question Time has reached its inevitable endgame. It was bound to happen.

🧵 These stories really are coming thick and fast at the moment🙄 Guess what? The Canadian school is NOT 'banning food at lunchtime' during Ramadan🤦‍♀️ Obviously... And if you BELIEVED it to be true, then you need to ask why you would choose to believe such an obviously ludicrous headline? 1/20

We didn't just find his videos - we also found Farage's outtakes, which show when his money-making sideline is interrupted by a text message or phone call, requiring him to re-record the video, he appears quick to anger.

@lewisgoodall.com Is Jan Harper-Hayes well? She doesn’t sound it.

From a friend in Beirut this morning, who in the last few days has seen several Israel missile strikes within walking distance of their home.

This is 15-year-old Mariia Nalyvaiko, she was killed today by russians as a result of a Shahed drone strike on private homes in the village of Syniavka, Chernihiv region 💔 The tragedy was reported by Syniavka Secondary School: "Mariia was cheerful, sincere, bright, and very active.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social One to remember next time Oakshott, Tice, Farage and co scream about free speech and tell us that the UK should be more like Dubai. www.lbc.co.uk/article/brit...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Here’s an unhinged headline and a thorough, comprehensive debunking by the superb @monkemma.bsky.social for you. There can’t be many better examples of the duplicity, bias and Islamophobia of much of the British media available than this. bsky.app/profile/monk...

Oh boy! What a headline... Ask yourself: "What am I being asked to believe?" "Who am I being told to blame?" Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on. Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵 1/21

@mrjamesob.bsky.social 👇2 quotes for you James:- “While I was leaving (Tehran) I noticed there wasn’t a single bird in the sky and you know what they say? When the birds abandon you you are truly on your own.” - The Guardian 9/3/26 “About us but without us.”-A caller to the James O’Brien show.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

@wulfhelm.bsky.social Have you been up to your old tricks again?

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States https://theonion.com/fbi-uncovers-al-qaeda-plot-to-just-sit-back-and-enjoy-c-1819576375/

The conspiracy goes deep

"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."

Video reportedly showing the moment Manib school was hit in Iran. t.me/enmehrnews/5...

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

A victory for Trump, Putin and Netanyahu. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov: “To be honest, I don’t even understand now how anyone can call on others to follow the norms and principles of international law. In fact, it no longer exists.”

Put Trump’s criticism of Starmer and other democratic leaders against his consistent syrupy praise for authoritarian, brutal leaders. Starmer is in good company. Just remind yourself how Trump praises authoritarian antidemocratic leaders in this thread. It’s an eye opener 🧵 1/

The United States killed all these children last Saturday. 170 of them. Every. Single. One.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Why the hell haven’t number 10 had this guy (missed his name, sorry!) all over the airwaves this past week?

BBC Verify has pieced together verified videos, satellite imagery and expert views after a deadly attack near a primary school in Minab, souther Iran, which suggest the area was hit more than once "by multiple simultaneous or near-simultaneous strikes". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

OK, the Gorton and Denton by-election, I have some thoughts! Let's take a look at some of the FACTS and burst a few of the more ridiculous takes doing the rounds But first up, can we acknowledge just what bad losers Reform are?!🤣 Right, let's get started... 🧵 1/

Hillary Clinton just posted her opening statement to the Comer Committee which she is testifying before today. It's part of the Save Donald from Epstein Investigation. The committee has essentially taken over the town of Chappaqua for the purpose. @hillaryclinton.bsky.social

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too! The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression. 🧵 1/19

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

New Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson secretly advising JPMorgan’s CEO on how to fight Labour’s 2009 bankers’ bonus tax - even suggesting he “mildly threaten” the Chancellor. Mandelson was Business Secretary at the time. A year later, he was seeking work with JPM.

This is so unhinged

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Trump's Davos speech was the act of a madman and that is the only sensible manner in which it should have been covered iandunt.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

Here you go @mrjamesob.bsky.social Just another addition to the catalog of disgust and disgrace that man is filed with. These comments sum him up in more ways than one. But hey, Trump Derangement Syndrome right? people.com/politics/tru...

Trump on Truth Social is now approvingly reposting a claim that "the enemy is within. China and Russia are boogeymen [sic] when the real threat is the U.N., NATO" and Muslims.

Putin-world egging Trump on: "If Trump annexes Greenland by July 4 2026, when America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, he will go down in history as a figure who asserted the greatness of the United States" writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta…1/ www.bbc.com/news/article...
