We all knew something like this had happened: Corbyn working with Tory Brexiters to back the Withdrawal Agreement, on a three line whip, with no amendments. ... But to see it here in black and white still makes me furious! #LexitLiars 😡

Also applies in the UK.

"I despair of his 'be all things to all men' approach." Steve Coogan tells Andrew Marr he believes Keir Starmer is a 'decent man', but warns that his eagerness to please everyone will inevitably 'bite him on the bum' eventually.

Of course if it was homophobic Piers Morgan best mates with Andrew Tate would love it.

"It makes no sense for Starmer to pretend he would die in a ditch over Brexit – the sooner he abandons it the better" 👏👏👏

Europe has a message for Elmo.

The Department of Justice has just DELETED its four-year-old webpage on the US Capitol riot investigations.

BREAKING 🔥🔥🔥 Oh look! Pete Hegseth’s tattoo. Sported by Proud Boys in DC yesterday and Christian Nationalists!

We did NOT-SEE that coming. ( JK, we totally did. )

Holy shit. This is real.

Fascism has arrived in the USA for all to see. Apologists are already making excuses for Elon’s Nazi salute. We see it. Our eyes are wide open. This is what America voted for, we are a sick country. So much work to do and it’s up to each of us to do the work because NOBODY is coming to save us

Elon's salute would get him a five-year sentence in today in Germany.

#ElmoMuskRat gives the Nazi salutevtwice at the travesty's parade today! #TheDancingDipshit no longer has anything to hide!

President Biden warned in his farewell address that an oligarchy is taking shape in the U.S. As President-elect Trump returns to the White House, billionaires and multimillionaires are flocking to the city where power has been more important than money, but is now deeply intertwined with it.

From midnight tonight until next Saturday morning, there's no TV, no Internet, no Social Media, no nothing for me. Symbolic protest is better than none at all. #5DayBLACKOUT

Obama’s inauguration - 28 degrees I’m going to leave this here ALL day Jan. 20 …..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY 💯

Oh American 🇺🇸! Whatever have you done?

It would have been Janey’s 64th birthday today. Let’s share this for her!

A good day to remember the magnificent Scottish comedian Jane Godley.

That is all.

Rapprochement doesn't have to be transactional exceptionalist. It can be positive, European, warm. Even exceptional. Like Mr @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social Watch. Hits the target. Outstanding. This is how campaigning should be. 1 www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/mik...

Every single poll and survey shows a large majority regretting Brexit and wanting to rejoin the SM, CU and/or the EU as a whole. I fail to see why we should be bullied by a right wing media, minority of the population and cowardly government. I want a government with balls not excuses.

Leave Nige alone!😡 I have 9 jobs too: Gregg Wallace’s hairdresser Liz Truss’s pie filler Nadine Dorries’s fluff remover Crevice cleaner to Ann Widdecombe Jacob Rees Mogg’s bed warmer Kemi Badenough’s bread demoister Concrete grower Moth sexer McDonalds Working Class Crew Member.

I blocked and reported this person @skymoderationlists.bsky.social for adding me to their "Engagement Hackers" List.

You see people saying #BrokenBritain and that the #NHSisBroken, but WHO BROKE IT? Labour is forever in the position of being the #CleanUpGovernment and it’s the hardest job to do in the face of a media who doesn’t support the clean up.

Someone at Amazon has a twisted sense of humour. They've added 'Civil War' to Amazon Prime Video just in time for Trump's inauguration. Let's hope it remains fiction.

Who here agrees? 🖐🏾

This is irrefutably true. Let’s see how long it lasts.

Firefighters from Mexico just arrived at LAX. They'll be joining 14,000+ personnel already battling the #PalisadesFire. California is immensely grateful to our neighbors' support in the fight against the wildfires in Los Angeles.

Just Musk suggesting Labour are a terrorist group...

Tulip Siddiq is just prolonging the inevitable - if Labour wants to look different to what came before they should act now. It isn’t tenable for her to be in post whilst all this is investigated, and if it were a Tory Labour would be screaming for her departure. She can’t do her job properly. Lead.

The Tulsa Race Massacre was not committed by an uncontrolled mob but was the result of “a coordinated, military-style attack” by white citizens, the Justice Department said in a report. It was the first time the U.S. government has given an official account of the 1921 massacre of Black residents.

‘It is not just Elon – Dom is in constant contact with major Silicon Valley figures, who are becoming increasingly anti-woke’. Sources said Mr Cummings and Mr Musk were exchanging ideas via a WhatsApp group shared with an unidentified American businessman mol.im/a/14274419

Very grateful I left X two years before this wildfire and never used Facebook or Threads for news. It’s clear which of my friends still use X by how crazed they are by the bullshit right wingers are spewing. Misinformation is actively harming people who are grieving and also disaster efforts.

It took me quite a number of years to gather 40K followers on Xitter… here it’s taken over a matter of months. Thank you. I’m either saying summat interesting… or another 75K of my followers over there were sick of listening, glad I buggered off and couldn’t be arsed to make the trip over! 😄

www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01... What an example for the youth of America! Trump America’s first FELON and Chief: Fraud! Inciting Jan 6th uprising! Rape of E. Jean Carroll 34 counts Hush Money conviction! Multiple bankruptcies! Trump University fraud and failure! MAGA WORSHIPS THIS CRAP!

Nazir Afzal, "When Keir Starmer and I left the CPS we had the highest rate of child sexual abuse prosecutions in our history.. That is Keir Starmer's legacy" "Boris Johnson said that investigating child sexual abuse was money spaffed up a wall"

Staggeringly misleading & irresponsible article by Express online. Neither I nor my site've ever said that. It's a perversion of our "earn under £35k & it's worth checking a benefits calc to see if you're missing out on owt" into dangerous, trite clickbait.

A judge has sentenced Donald Trump to an "unconditional discharge” The sentence means the incoming president has been spared any penalty, including jail time or a fine, but he will still take office as the first US president with a felony conviction www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump has been given an unconditional discharge in the New York hush money case. That means there’s no penalty but he still gets to be a felon. The abject impotence of the American system has been laid bare. You can incite an insurrection and commit crimes with impunity. And still get to be Prez.

President-elect Donald Trump is now officially a convicted felon, congratulations America. This from Judge Merchan at sentencing really stood out to me. 'To be sure, it is the legal protections offered by the OFFICE of the presidency that is extraordinary. NOT the OFFICE HOLDER.'

When you're too stupid to get the joke.
