Hey @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social , maybe you should discuss this…

Victoria Derbyshire rinsed Baldwin - a washed-up Shadow Business hack from the 14-years-of-chaos Tory circus - after she moaned about Labour’s Budget. Derbyshire hit back: everything they whine about now is what they did while trashing the country. Fourteen years of ruin and they act brand new.

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

Right on brand for Sky

1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families. For one 15-year-old, it began with a cracked windshield 👇

Congress has the constitutional duty to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces (Article I, Section 8, Clause 14). It enacted the UCMJ, which specifies that service members must obey only “lawful” orders and,

BBC has lost the plot.

You really do wonder…

A - freaking - men this should have torpedoed his presidency in and of itself

@mrjamesob.bsky.social part of the reason that poor children have a higher rate of obesity than those from better off families is the fact that healthier food is often more expensive. Here’s the price difference between two equally sized packs of beef mince from Sainsbury’s:

Just an absolutely gutting essay by Tatiana Schlossberg, a writer, mother of two young children, and cousin of RFK Jr who is dying of leukemia. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Listening to the @mrjamesob.bsky.social ̶r̶a̶n̶t̶ monologue this morning and envisioning Nick Ferrari listening as he leaves the LBC studio. 😬

NEW: The leaders of an Old Apostolic Lutheran Church community in Minnesota enabled a child abuser by pressuring his victims to forgive and forget his sins — so that they could never speak of them again. With @startribune.com

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

'People forget what Khashoggi was investigating when he was murdered. He was writing about Kushner turning over classified info to MBS, who used it to hunt down, arrest and murder his opponents.' h/t @cocacolakid

🚨Using any kind of chemical weapons at this range is aggravated assault against peaceful protesters. They have no weapons, they pose no threat. ICE is the enemy. 1/2

“ChatGPT 5.1 has entered the chat… and it’s not buying this fairy tale.”

‘access journalism is the opposite of accountability journalism.’ A perfect distillation of what’s been going on in the UK and US. Worth an hour of discussion? @mrjamesob.bsky.social

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

Made loaded baked potato soup for dinner tonight. Not the healthiest soup I’ve ever made, but super tasty and perfect on this cold autumn night. @nigella.bsky.social, surely a bit of rich, creamy, cheesy garlicky decadence is ok every once in a while? #Soup #Cooking

Of course

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally. He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough. Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He was revered.

This is brilliant.

When @mrjamesob.bsky.social mentions learning shooting at school from the Major…

Why can’t they see this?

Wouldn’t even inflict this on those begging at the leper gate @wulfhelm.bsky.social #Wulferhampton

The truth will have its day. That day is now. Release all the Epstein files.

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

I’ll try a pagan friend, thought I, since Christian kindness has proved but hollow courtesy.

Illegal migration isn't tearing this country apart, but our obsession with it is. It's an obsession fuelled by our media and politicians. Both profit from blowing the problem out of all proportion. It's been happening for decades, but never more so than now

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

The Biden administration sought to create a streamlined refund system free of hoops for passengers who experienced canceled or significantly changed flights.

I listened to the Megyn Kelly clip and my takeaway is that she should change her name to Megyn R Kelly

Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

Oh good. Extra side orders of E. coli anyone?

Well how about that.

I guess if you are going to do awful things, now is the time while all things terrible are happening www.wesh.com/article/cent...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social here’s another pertinent “P”: the Press.

Got it.

“Is there a leadership challenge?” Ridge asked. Labour’s Wes Streeting replied: “No, and I think whoever’s been briefing this has been watching too much Celebrity Traitors.” It was the Guardian’s Crerar who started this shit-stirring BTW - farcical British journos chasing rumours again. #ukpolitics

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.
