There are two easy ways to fix the problem with the High Street... and it's not rocket science. - Keep the shops open till mid-evening - Make parking free or cheap (Forget the buses, most people will not use them.) There you go, fixed it for ya. #pmq

Betfred has said it would close all 1,287 of its high street betting shops if Reeves raised taxes on the gambling industry. The company behind William Hill, also said last month it was considering closing up to 200 betting shops. Crack on then, sooner the better www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

When it comes to Saudi Arabia, the president isn't putting America first. He's putting his own wealth and his own personal interests ahead of everything else. Ahead of you.

Oh dear, When Country Music is Coming out with these lyrics, Republicans better watch out.

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.

Hey, it's a good job the United States of America isn't a country built entirely on the back of mass migration ... because if it was... oh wait

I swear a lot of the Government's problems would be solved by just taking themselves off of Twitter

BBC has a case against Trump. WhiteHouse Chief Press Officer called the BBC ‘100% fake news.’ Which is defamatory and untrue.

Did Jen drop the box with Cloudflare in it?

Bloody left wing bias etc etc etc

@lukepollard.bsky.social have a word with your gaffer, eh? Profoundly dissapointed. You wouldn't have my vote again if we had GE tomorrow.

If you see someone wearing this, point and laugh. If you know someone wearing this, have a word. If you buy one yourself, seek therapy.

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC. This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting. iandunt.substack.com/p/extra-edit...

I DEMAND Panorama IMMEDIATELY produces a documentary showing Kamala Harris not instigating a violent riot, not sexually assaulting anyone, or getting fined for denying it, or being found guilty of business fraud, or f*cking a porn star AND accepting the result of an election. You know. For balance.

I won't be lamenting his departure, but... Left wing bias? C'mon. Blatantly pro Tory for years, and now blatantly pro Reform. Mad. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

With blatant right wing bias, how can it also have left wing bias? Which is it? Both? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

What this tells expats in the UK is... Don't leave. Ever. Welcome to your new (forever) home. Sad. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Elon Musk is deliberately using his platform to poison our politics and divide our country. It's time for the government to wake up to the threat he poses to our democracy.

Get your colleagues and friends off it, folks.

X effect: How Elon Musk is boosting the British right

The Empire created Britain’s wealth. Yet I can’t remember it ever being mentioned in history at school. It means many people have no idea why they see the mix of people they the do around them. Ignorance of history plays into the hands of fhe far-right.

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

So she expressed it badly, but her point was correct? They'll be shooting for the disabled next. I'm guessing they don't watch Strictly? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I am outraged. I've just seen a TV advert featuring a child. Children are over represented on TV. You already can't avoid them just walking down the road. They're everywhere! Somone should introduce a bill to get them off my TV!

I used to staunchly defend the BBC. I don't recognise them as journalists any more. Pathetic.

"... Labour’s official remarks from the party chair, Anna Turley, who on Saturday night condemned Pochin’s remarks and said Reform were “more interested in dividing our country than uniting it”, but stopped short of calling the comments racist." It's racist! Fight back!

Oh dear, free speech hurting? Diddums. There, there, all better now. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

She was arrested for holding a sign reading: “I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action” How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

I've never watched the Simpsons. #mondayconfessional

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

It tells you everything you need to know about British politics that the only people who have ever had to apologise for Nigel Farage's long history of racism are the people who dare to call it what it actually is www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...

Poor Nigel Farage doesn’t like being called an ‘enemy’, he thinks it’s inciteful language. He might want to tell Nigel Farage that.

Reform: "Our streets are burning, our economy is in tatters, the "different" people are the cause of all our problems, let's klick them all out, let's make them unwelcome"... Gov Response: "Well actually, one of the numbers you used is wrong." FFS For the love of God, grow a pair and FIGHT BACK!

I have defended the BBC again and again. No more.

Based on my general observations whilst out and about, statistically, your dog is probably overweight.

Mere details… 😤🤯 @privateeyenews.bsky.social nailing it, as bloody always:

Bingo 😆🫡

"Reform has touted its plan as a “legal reset”. But it is better understood as a total rejection of the UK’s postwar international commitments to protect the human rights of everyone within its jurisdiction."

Please know that there isn’t a shred of scientific evidence suggesting Covid vaccines cause cancer. Please disregard this man’s rubbish - he doesn’t work for the NHS & why the GMC hasn’t struck him off long ago baffles innumerable NHS doctors like me. 2/4

When a party attracts whackos, expect chaos. Conspiracists will consume each other. Popcorn, anyone? #reform www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

ask Nigel about #FarageTax Farage put his Clacton house in to his girlfriend Laure's name, avoiding tens of thousands of pounds like Rayner. But he won’t tell you that.

A mob of angry drunken men screaming abuse outside an asylum hotel have defended their actions, saying all they want is for women and girls to feel safe walking the streets. From the new Private Eye, out now.

Jamie Raskin dubs Farage a "Putin loving free speech imposter and Trump sycophant" m.youtube.com/watch?v=mpBA...

RASKIN: The freedom of speech applies 365 days a year here under the 1st Amendment FARAGE: We have allowed massive mass pro-Gaza demonstrations in London weekend after weekend RASKIN: No thanks to you

This a really solid pummeling, and Farage has earned every ounce of it.
