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.

To say that Philip Larkin wasn't a particularly pleasant person would be an understatement. But every May I recall this poem, and I could forgive the person who wrote it almost anything...

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.

So true… #BookSky

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...

A bill in Missouri would halt commercial solar projects in the state, including those under construction, through at least 2027. The bill’s emergency clause says this is “deemed necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, welfare, peace, and safety.” Big oil strikes again.

He's the worst thing that ever happened to America. I despise him BECAUSE I love my country. 🇺🇸

Our car-dependent status quo is the result of political choices that have steered decades of financial-, spatial- and design decisions. It is time to repoliticize these decisions and reshape our public spaces.

Fantastic news, throwing phones away when the battery dies is quite ridiculous. We don't need super thin phones, we need phones we can repair.

I saw this yesterday. I love when words have multiple meanings.

Today is #NationalPenguinDay so we're remembering that time we made a Penguin out of Penguin Books. It's a Penguin Penguin. 🐧

Oh Nigel Farage and Reform UK. Nothing screams "taking back control" like being the hand puppet of a US-based Christian legal group that thinks the 16th century was a bit too progressive. It’s truly heartwarming to see a "British patriot" like Nigel Farage so dedicated to
