Once more for the haters...

Just another reason to keep giving Netflix my money.

Maitlis expertly exposing the racist rhetoric of ex Reform opportunist, Lowe. I’ve said this before, the far right re-traumatises and further exploits grooming gang survivors for political profit. The “statistics” they provide are false. Utter scum.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Brilliant

I have my own criticism but the one thing Labour’s getting right is the NHS, waiting lists down, more appointments, better pay, no strikes. Farage would sell the NHS. He’s not a man of the people, he’s a privately educated city boy who laughed as the economy tanked after Brexit. He is a traitor.

This carnival of bullshit must end. There's a change to reform the Lords immediately, through amendments at report stage. Peers should grasp it. Make these the last resignation peerages inews.co.uk/opinion/labo...

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

Almost as good as the legendary Scottish sports headline ‘Super Caley Go Ballistic Celtic Are Atrocious’

We need to prioritise the EU… …and the rest of the world. Dump Trump.

People who have an abundance of money (more than £10m) won’t have to give anything up if we have a tiny 2% wealth tax (just £200k on £10m) they won’t out on anything. But we could raise a shed load of money to spend on the stuff that needs it - hospitals, schools - even tanks and bombs.

One of the best photos I have seen in response to “why don’t you wear a suit”

Fantastic again from The Marsh Family 👏👏👏

youtu.be/pvT3aQjLxdE Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini #Dontabandonthem

Russia has kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Putin was indicted for this crime. Yale has a unit searching for them. Musk eliminated the funding. inews.co.uk/news/world/m...

Five years on from the pandemic, the right’s fake Covid narrative has been turbo-charged into the mainstream (MT @profstevegriffin.bsky.social) www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I note with interest right-wing media's total absence of any concerns about prominent BBC presenter Armstrong expressing his highly political opinions. As was always perfectly clear to many of us, the problem was not that Lineker had views, but the fact they didn't approve of his views.

We, we??

Banksy ❤️

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Brilliant again from The Marsh Family. Made me laugh on a dark day 😊

youtu.be/sRP4LCCcLcI A 🎶 quickfire Monday night song - parodying the @dollypartons.bsky.social classic "Here You Come Again" - but about the #Inauguration2025 speech, and the first claims made during the Return of The Donald... #TrumpInauguration #McKinleyReferences

Pity Farage wasn’t asked about this - he should be forced to own it @bbclaurak.bsky.social @theneweuropean.bsky.social

So how long before we see Farage on Bluesky?

In 2024 we pulled together the full story of the impact of Brexit so far. All the stats. Laid bare. Here they are. 👇

The Guardian has named the 80 women murdered this year where a man was charged. One every 3 days. Terrible. So many husbands, boyfriends, even brothers & sons are killers. What is behind this? 2024 is the year I realised I truly do not understand men. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i...

Imagine his shock when someone tells him Labour’s record -breaking International Investment Summit just secured £63 billion and nearly 38,000 jobs for the UK

THIS is how it’s done, folks.

Actual lawyer Peter Stefanovic schools Farage beautifully and exposes the führer's lies and political spivery along with the fact that the ECHR is at the heart of the Belfast Agreement and the UK's trade agreement with the EU. Watch Peter's video to its end.

We’ve already got too many right-wing media barons (often tax exiles) controlling what people read and hear and ultimately believe. Out of that concern I’ve expressed an interest in the sale of the Observer and discussed the situation with the GMG. bit.ly/4eQYGZO

When the mask mandate was lifted from Mass General Brigham in May '23, hospital transmission of resp virus went up. When the mandate was re-instituted in Jan '24, infection rates went down. www.news-medical.net/news/2024052...

Just catching up on this incredible new form of stupidity. I'm so pleased. It's a delight to watch the right engage in the kind of pointless theatrical bullshit progressives usually get lost in.

Lord Rothermere who owns the Daily Mail claims to be French and pay his taxes in France, despite living in England. This should be enough to stop everyone buying that trash he calls a patriotic newspaper.

“Hunger is a violation of our basic human rights – we should be outraged by UK's food bank crisis” @bigissue.com www.bigissue.com/opinion/food...

So here’s the update. The billionaire owner of the Guardian preparing to get rid of a core part of the news org + 100 journalists. If you’re a Guardian or Observer reader, please share this. The need for a strong, free & independent press couldn’t be greater. Yet, here it is.

Express burries one small detail as it blasts Labour for handing £536 million to ‘foreign farmers’ Almost all of the aid grants that make up the £500m total quoted were given by Conservative governments www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/media/e...

This is the best way to get others, esp journalists/politicians to join. It’s not necessarily ideological, it’s practical: a far better social media experience/way more useful for work.

It’s all in the telling.

How many times do I need to say this? These are not expats, they are immigrants. You don’t “expat” somewhere, you emigrate, and that makes you an immigrant. I have never heard anyone refer to “Bangladeshi Expats” or “Polish Expats”, it’s always immigrants, so why not here?

Now I understand election deniers. Except only one who ever cheated was Trump. All 3 times.

Imagine the shock for the Daily Express when it finds out that almost all of the aid grants that make up the £500m total quoted were given by Conservative governments

93% of Observer and @theguardian.com journalists are taking a stand against a takeover attempt. They have my earnest support. I show this support on Bluesky by: 1. reposting info like this 2. in my profile description 3. and in my profile background masthead image What more can I do to assist?

Sigh - classic fact free nonsense. ‘news’ story here totally fails to mention that Tory plans were for fines of £5k (later reduced to £3k) for each missed heat pump sale. What @Ed_Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

Not sure why Farage thinks posting videos of himself slagging off Jaguar adverts and saying he hopes they go bust… is what an MP should be up to. Such an insecure, prejudiced little man, emboldened by other inadequates to think he can sound off about everything he doesn’t like. It’s pathetic.

@scaramucci.bsky.social Good to see you here

Wish this got as much coverage as the landed gentry having to pay some tax ... Child poverty is at its highest ever level - but yeah let's interview whinging millionaire landowners about their 'hardship' ...

And here’s one from Mdina, Malta .

Big day for reasoned debate on farms/inheritance today - a debate undermined by @BBCNews repeatedly and wrongly reporting as fact that “farms worth more than £1m would have to pay inheritance tax”. This is just flatly wrong in vast vast majority of cases

What a surprise!
