'Ghost sky dance' - powerful new artwork documents the illegal killing of Hen Harriers on UK grouse moors raptorpersecutionuk.org/2026/05/09/g...

An earlier me - privileged, white, wealthy - could not have imagined finding this stuff terrifying or understood why othered people - Black, Jewish, immigrants - did. But I listened, and I watched, and I learned. And they were right. I'm begging you to listen and watch and learn.

When I opened Friday’s show by saying that all we were waiting for now was Kemi Badenoch to declare herself the real winner of the elections, I was actually and absolutely joking!

This is depressing mostly because it shows how powerful pop culture is compared to education. The Flintstones helped normalize the image of humans living alongside dinosaurs, and if someone grows up with that as a “default mental picture,” it can stick even if they later learn otherwise.

If you are voting in the United Kingdom today, do not vote for this charlatan who lies almost every time he opens his mouth Reform has a track record of dodgy Finance amongst its small band of vocal MP‘s

She sounds as you would expect from an anti-elite insurgency party. "I really like ambassador’s dinners, Ferrero Rocher, that sort of thing." Course you do mate.

I've seen a few people here denying that antisemitic hate crimes are still a major or widespread problem in this country. This denial does no one any favours. We must be rock-solid against all hate and prejudice.

Name one President anywhere on Earth in the past 100 years who had 4 ass-assination attempts let alone survived them. Fat boy is ineligible as an answer. Go ahead I dare you. I'll wait

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Thank You to the Guardian for This Brutal but True Assessment of the State of the Pentagon after Trump and his Sycophant Hegseth Tore it Apart. !!

Nigel Farage was all set for #bbclaurak until he wasn’t. He’s got about 5M reasons to be elsewhere. Strange how scrutiny never quite makes the itinerary. Much safer to stick with a crowd that values vibes over questions &identity over logic. Why risk a room where people might actually challenge you?

Many sadly concluded we had to go through Brexit before people saw what a horrendous act of self-harm they had committed. I'm terrified the same thing will happen with #Reform - that people will vote for them without realising they've just screwed over their country, loved ones and themselves.

For £200,000 Farage will promote your company and get his councils to buy your products. Just imagine what he’d do for you if you gave him £5,000,000. Because it wouldn’t be nothing. It’s never nothing. He’s in hock to his donors and if he took power, we’d all be. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

The Greens aren't just about community values, fairness, equality, justice - although they stand for all of these. The Green heart of England matters too. The still-unspoilt landscapes that bring peace of mind and tranquility. Vote @greenparty.org.uk on Thursday!

Absolute truth from Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Mike Luckovich. We warned you. You did it anyway. At that one moment, all you had to do was check the right box for a thriving, peaceful and successful life. And now every decent American is under complete, life-threatening assault.

April 30, 2026: This fuck'n moron thinks he's the smartest president ever. Not even going to bother to list all his failures, which are many. But he still thinks he's a genius for passing a cognitive exam. What an idiot.

Wow. Donald Trump has lifted all tariffs on Scottish whisky following a request from the King “The King and Queen got me to do something that nobody else was able to do, without hardly even asking!”

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Kemi Badenoch on LBC yesterday. At 23:50 she explicitly states she was born in a 50% Muslim country - presumably Nigeria. But her publicity, and Wikipedia, say she was born in Wimbledon. I'm getting old, but I can remember where I was born! Why the discrepancy Ms B? www.youtube.com/live/AeLMCBb...
