Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

Merry Christmas to everyone except for Trump and anyone who supports the cruel evil POS!

Absolutely 💯 True......

Christmas morning walk - red berries, yellow gorse and beech leaves. We also saw a hare, a red kite, some fallow deer and a buzzard.

The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing. This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly rights.

Greta's mistake is she didn't block the road with hundreds of fucking great big tractors. HMG is afraid of tractors. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Apropos of nothing in particular, Matt Webb's(@genmon.fyi) name popped up in my LI feed and I was reminded that I once bought him a cow. Even more amazingly, the record of his herd is still online interconnected.org/more/2008/11... @genmon.fyi Merry Christmas!

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

As a man of the people, I will always defend trail hunting, which I know is a top priority for all my working class constituents who own horses and enjoy simple pleasures like ripping foxes apart for laughs.

Magnificent.

Reform UK Councils Council Tax increases Durham: 4.9% Worcestershire: 5-10% Warwickshire: ~5% Leicestershire: 3% TBC Kent: 5% Lincolnshire: 2.9-4.9% Staffordshire: ~5% West Northamptonshire: 5% Derbyshire: 4.99% North Northamptonshire: 4.99% Nottinghamshire: 4.84% Lancashire: assumed 5%

This is extremely important

For progressive folk - if you don't defend those things you say you want - then they will be lost. Because you can already see the argument on the right turning to "we can't afford this". But you have to build on them. Particularly, understand why raising the floor hasn't made people happy.

The UK discovering its not so special relationship. Deals with team Trump are always subject to renegotiation and thus largely worthless. I don’t think the US will rekindle its broad trade war on the EU but Washington will keep pressing for more concessions, for example on loosening antitrust.

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

Sounds about right.

Trump anchor babies

Fraser Nelson is the latest Farage apologist to dismiss the racism allegations against him, saying that there's never been any evidence of him ever being racist as an adult. Just completely untrue. There is extensive undeniable evidence of it www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...

The Wildlife Trusts are deeply concerned that nature faces a nightmare before Christmas as the UK Government prepares to break more promises to the millions of people who care about the decline of the natural world. www.wildlifetrusts.org/news/nightma...

🔴The World Upside Down: How a Top Official at Trump’s FBI Laundered Far-Right Disinformation The United States’ entire security apparatus is now being used to spread far-right propaganda rather than tackle genuine threats, reports @rvawonk.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/12/15/t...

So sad.

Mr @chrisgrey.bsky.social hits it out of the park this week. No other word for it. Sometimes gross, Chris's blog can feel a bit like the Domesday book, listing out the disfiguring effects of Brexitism. But there is still room for poetry. Joining has to be about identity. 1

Fact-check: true

The fact that a number of people in the UK, who are currently imprisoned and are on hunger strike for the simple fact they are protesting genocide is absolutely disgraceful. They appear to have no option whilst a British government continue their support of Israel’s genocide

Trump hates Europe’s democracies because they have universal health care, a strong social welfare system and heavy unionization. He prefers MBS’s Saudi Arabia, where one trillionaire family runs a brutal dictatorship. What a betrayal of American values!

WINNING!!!

GB News grilled me apparently? Only problem with this is I've never been on their nonsense channel. They lie - obsessively. Help us grow an alternative to all the bollocks: Join.greenparty.org.uk

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

The public inquiry into the Iraq War was as damning as it’s possible to be within this system. The parliamentary report on Libya tore the government a new arse. Both of them were instantly thrown in the bin and never mentioned again, in favour of inviting the culprits on TV and giving them peerages.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

"You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They don’t need that many. And you don't need 37 gold baby carriages. 2 or 3 is nice. You must go without, even though affordability is a hoax. See? I've fixed the problem!"

Trumplethinskin creates his own version of reality & then expects us to believe it as if we don't have eyes, ears or functioning brains. #SAD 🤣

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

Brilliant Farage history from Byline Times.

"If there's one single lesson that comes out of this is the lesson that you can't assume that everyone – even in difficult times like Covid-19 was – will do the right thing." - but you can pretty much assume that if they are Tories they will do the wrong thing.
