To me, these small moments are more revealing than any long essay on impartiality. Every gov't has released official PM photos for decades. Since 2010 there's been a dedicated 10DS photographer. Several Tory PMs controversially employed personal ones on top. Only a Lab PM would be treated this way.

Take a grilled cheese to the next level. Add a thin layer of mustard to the inside of the bread and top the cheese with good quality sauerkraut before cooking. #Food

When I say that the UK media has been absolutely rabid in its antagonism towards Starmer, I mean it. This is beyond the pale. Yes, @mrjamesob.bsky.social, many of your colleagues are indeed ’the bad guys’.

Well done Mike Tapp MP for putting that bloody know all Christian Fraser fully in his place on BBC news tonight. “If the media reported the growing list of support for Keir Starmer, instead of just the other list, then maybe the public would see a truer picture…”

Burbank is competing in the Democratic primary against William Forbes, a 79-year-old pastor. He's a registered Democrat but voted for Trump 3 times and attended a Republican training event earlier this year, according to a March 30 CNN report.

For a change of Labour leadership to make any electoral (as opposed to material) difference, a precondition is better media regulation. Otherwise the project to undermine *any* Labour government will continue, with Reform’s own TV channel & an ever more clearly biased BBC News.

Apropos of nothing… @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Trump is struggling to stay conscious on camera in the Oval Office again today

It would be about time…

Concur with @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social on the nonsense about Starmer.

BREAKING: More than 350 Labour MPS are not calling on the Prime Minister to resign as the country finally stabilises after 14yrs of Tory chaos.

Can we just all agree that it's utterly ridiculous, insane and borderline unforgivable to nearly all involved that we are in this situation with a government with *this* size majority.

Well done to the pathetic selfish MPs who’ve now all but destroyed a Lab Govt just 2 yrs into a 5 yr term with a massive majority. You absolute f***ing idiots. It’ll be difficult if KS stays but totally impossible for anyone else. I despair at your utter stupidity. It’s like Brexit all over again.

Pete Buttigieg: “My second greatest fear for my party is if we win in November that we forget that a return to the prior status quo is not the right answer either”

We need a ruling @darthbluesky.bsky.social

I’d love Starmer to turn round & tell the media to f**k off - tell his MPs that if they can do better then put their name forward & tell the opposition parties to ‘stick their racism where the sun don’t shine’

The US did NOT contact airline passengers who flew with people known to have been infected with hantavirus. Cool cool.

The press have finally realised, but the people haven’t, that truth is a far less stable currency than terror. It is a global phenomenon, really. From London to New York, the press has abandoned the tedious business of informing the public in favour of the far more lucrative

Keir Starmer said many times in the GE campaign the first two years would be very tough because of the mess left behind by the Tories. We all talked endlessly about the Tories scorching the earth to make it really hard for an incoming Government, yet here we are not 2 years later playing their game.

Morning, Sunderland. Meet one of your new councillors. "In now deleted posts, Gibbins ranted on social media that he ‘carnt [sic] believe amount of Nigerians in town’ and they ‘should melt them all down and fill in the pot holes’." What happened to Reform's " metro.co.uk/2026/05/09/r...

👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧 Very happy with this. Only ex PM not to take his entitled parliamentary allowance as an ex PM Truss pockets it. As does Johnson. Done great charity work since leaving office.

What did people think he meant when he said Republicans just had to elect him this one time and then they would fix it so no one had to vote anymore? Like what other explanation was there?

Looks like some yeehadis FAFO

Interesting from Sir John Curtice, the UKs top polling expert on Englands council election and the Reform surge

every orange cat owner recognizes this scene

How the fuck does the GOP explain this? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Public service announcement: Electing your local roundabout painting racist to your local council today will not (a) get Starmer out (b) free Palestine or (c) stop the boats. It WILL fuck up your local services. Don’t pretend you weren’t warned.

watching the willful and steady destruction of respect and faith in all three branches of government is kind of depressing not going to lie

Nothing to see here

When democracy dies…

Huge series of meetings that the UK PM has had today. 1. He joined leaders from Ukraine, France, Italy, Poland, Canada, Norway, Finland, NATO, the European Commission & the European Council for a meeting on Ukraine - regaining territory, the EU loan (which the UK is joining), drones and defence.

Facts

Having used the shadow docket to halt maps favorable to minority voters because elections were approaching, it would be indefensible for the Court to refuse to apply the same standard now—when voting has already begun in Louisiana and is days away in Alabama. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

it’s worth reading every word of this brilliant, excoriating column by Fraser Nelson

“For my next attention-seeking trick, I will have you concentrate on supposedly dangerous immigrants, my senseless fight with Europe, getting Greenland, bombing Iran, and building a BALLROOM—instead of my unqualified cabinet, crumbling mind, high gas prices, or pesky Epstein files. Look, a rabbit!”

Related to what you’re discussing this morning. @mrjamesob.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/hesg...

From Jimmy Kimmel.

When Bannon was setting up his European movement with Farage, Epstein advised they should fund themselves through crypto, and lobby against regulating it Farage’s close aid Nathan Gill was en route to a Kremlin conference on crypto and politics when he was arrested

KIMMEL: “You know how sometimes you wake up and the First Lady demands you be fired? We’ve all been there, right? — I agree hateful, violent rhetoric is something we should reject… a great place to start to dial that back would be to talk to your husband.”

having the opportunity to feign surprise and drop this line would give me a kind of high no drug could reproduce

Ha! Good catch, lol. 😂
