Jenrick’s “no tax on overtime” policy falls apart after one question from Trevor Phillips

If @andyburnham.bsky.social gets in and becomes PM, he should ensure he keeps Darren Jones in his cabinet. i know Jones is close to Starmer, but he is a good Communicator and a Labour man

A speech delivered with the energy of a wet paper towel ! Dems need a new leader today!

I hope the Greens dos one for the country and decide to not stand a candidate in the Makerfield By-election. why split the vote and hand it to Farage idiots

awful behaviour from US golf fans at the PGA championship today.. just a bunch of drunken thugs out there mingling with decent golf fans. organisers either inept or unable to address the behaviour.

Surely a partnership between Burnham (PM) and Streeting (Deputy) is the best option for the country and Labour? North and South, Right and Left. Both communicators, can design/ sell policies and can take it to Farage/Reform. A pragmatic compromise for the good of the nation! @mrjamesob.bsky.social

There are so many awful Republican/MAGA politicians , but Jim Jordan has to be the most obnoxious of them all..Literally no ability to self reflect and no shame in what he says. @kaitlancollins.bsky.social should stop playing nice and being polite with this idiot and push back fully. But nope...

Trump not so tough when he has to sit in front of a Chinese delegation in Beijing!

OMG!’ Burnham would be great but all a big risk. Streeting and Powell ticket and unify left and right and sort the country out with proper down to earth communication and Labour policies . today!!!! @mrjamesob.bsky.social

starmer

There are lots of annoying things in life..but one of them must be listening to reporters shouting out questions at MPs walking into No10..."Should the Prime Minister resign My Lammy?" Almost on a par (pun intended) with spectators at golf tournaments shouting "In the hole" @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Starmer and his MP supporters keep using the phrase "It is right..." when talking about policy decisions or backflips etc, but here lies the problem...He/they never really explain WHY it is "right". It is a comms problem...not a policy problem and Farage and his band of fools are flooding Comms atm!

Reform idiots saying that there needs to be a new election...what a joke...educate people again about how the parliamentary system works. People didn't vote for a PM, they voted for a local candidate, representing a party. Reform will try to pretend otherwise because they take voters for fools!

Starmer is a good man with decent values, but he can’t sell it. never could. no matter how hard he tries the people he needs to reach have switched off to him, if they were listening in the first place. the worst he can say about Farage is that he’s a chancer!! Seriously? @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Just happened upon GB News for the first time. Wow! Just Wow!!.What a bunch or arrogant, self-absorbed, ultra right wing goons they have presenting and as guests on there!! The embodiment of Reform on TV. ..Ditch Starmer, get a proper PM with some Comms skills and a vision and take on these nutters!

As bad as the results are for Labour tonight, it will allow the country to see how inept and useless Reform are at governing, so maybe it will be enlightening for all ?? Reform calling for an immediate election just goes to show how stupid they are. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

"We took out some small boats, what we call small boats or fast boats, they are both small and they're fast". - The USA is presided over by an idiot!! So..the ceasefire that isn't a ceasefire!..I give up with these morons!

so...Matt Mahan as Governor of California yeh? Seems to be totally obvious after 25mins

You can tell Rubio doesn't believe any of this "just a defensive operation..doing it for the world" bullshit. And what is it with the constant "this is what you should be reporting" nonsense? What a sad little sycophantic toad.

Why do i feel that Hegseth's "laser focused red, white and blue bubble" will be popped sometime real soon!

Trevor Phillips in Sunday Morning is off the scale today.. so many issues with the way this program has conducted itself..

Chris Philip sitting in PM’s question time in the house, Tweets out baseless unchecked comments about the knife attack in London’s Golders Green. Just desperate to cause division.. what a pathetic politician this man is!

This Reform presser is such a joke. What a bunch of amateurish, pathetic, racist morons. presser. Zero actual policies, but big on blaming others and a total lack of understanding about economics or the geopolitics of migration. Surely British people are not stupid enough to fall for this MAGA tosh?

Not sure if i feel sympathy for Liz Kendall having to go out and defend Starmer or annoyed that she, like so many other Labour MPs are so bad at communication and embarrass themselves on a weekly basis. Time for an urgent re-set

Atlantic Salmon at $63.99 a kilo?? Imagine what the Straits of Hormuz Salmon costs!!!

I love how Israel and the USA arrange a ceasefire with the people in Lebanon who they are not fighting with! Then keep bombing. These people are idiots and take the world for fools!

My god, Hegseth is such a tool!!!

Surely the King should be reflecting the overwhelming views of his subjects regarding the visit to the US, rather than the continued weak, sycophantic desperation of Starmer? Everyone knows he shouldn’t be going and that it will be cringy and embarrassing. Also very dangerous !

Can the media stop pretending that Israel was confused if Lebanon was part of the ceasefire … trump and Netanyahu knew planned it all! War crimes!!!

Can’t say this loudly enough.. Mark Rutte needs to be replaced today!!

Time to replace Mark Rutte as head of NATO..he is just so incredibly pathetic and sycophantic...useless in every way...

New drinking game: Take a shot every time they mention the word "science" during a NASA mission status press briefing..You will be smashed within the first minute!!

Just watching Josh Gottheimer (D) on @cnn.com thinking that he seems very pro war, pro Trump actions and pro increased military spending for a Democrat and then surprise, surprise i see that he is funded by AIPAC to the tune of over $1mill. Pathetic! @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I so want Starmer to be strong and clear, but he just can’t help being wishy washy and vague. It isn’t a commitment issue , it’s always a communication issue ! Also why is the UK holding a mini UN meeting this week to issue just another memorandum of understanding.

Madeleine King..Resource Minister? Or Minister for Stating The Bleedin' Obvious? #auspol

We are in a period in the news on Iran where we are subjected to a myriad of guests from the 'department of stating the bleedin' obvious.' May i suggest watching @mikeclarke2020s.bsky.social @justinwolfers.bsky.social @edconway.bsky.social for some actual analysis and understanding of the issues.

Many F1 drivers going on about Japanese fans being the best in the world, but on the parade truck quiet a few had their backs to the grandstands , were on their phones or were chatting to each other. So disrespectful! A shining light was Lewis Hamilton who really respects fans . #F1. #suzuka

@g-bennett.bsky.social Great user name!!!

If you haven't seen this yet, it is a must watch. MAGA was always crazy, but this just shows how misguided, bigoted, racist and downright scary they have become at their core. Reform are MAGA light in the UK..but not for long. Take note Starmer! @thenewsagents.co.uk youtu.be/t3Y_ozT_p3g?...

Tim Parrish is sycophantic MAGA idiot! Just putting it out there..

Oil price above $100 again, Share market falling. 10 yr bonds up to nearly 5%. Thousands of troops on the way to Iran and a rogue partner in Israel, doing what it likes to expand territory and kill and displace innocent people. Plus the alienation of sane global partners like NATO. So much winning!

Just listened to Trump calling in to Fox's (don't ask why!). I guess we all just presume he's an idiot , but you really do need to listen to it, because it is unbelievable just how much of a total idiot he is, when he does this kind of thing. A moron chatting to 5 morons..I give you the The USA

Consistently @yaldahakim.bsky.social provides the most balanced and thoughtful reporting and coverage of the war. She understands the complex issues on a deep level and she and her team always seem able to connect with people in the region who provide perspectives that are relevant and informative.

Jennings on ice being installed at Airports......."I mean, i saw ice agents handing out water at the airports today...are you now saying that people shouldn't have water?...." These patronising arrogant MAGA/Trump sycophants are really something else! Pathetic!

I was waiting and it took only 4 mins for Scott Jennings to mention ."in the last 47 years.." and accuses anyone who disagrees with him of "shouting". He also dropped that the US now had a coalition because the UK are sending a ship to join the war..News to me and am sure it is news to Starmer too?

Why are so many Trump sycophants and MAGA apologist so confused about the fact that Iran responded to being attacked by the US and Israel by attacking back with force? What on earth did they expect? But I guess the President wasn't really prepared for that either!?

Market Manipulation?

If a comment about Australian Politics is made on here without an #auspol hashtag attached, was it really ever made? Hmmmm....

I love @patskarvelas.bsky.social as a journo, but that was a low blow, trying to make a thing out of the Reserve Bank Governor buying a multi million dollar house in Yamba in the week when interest rates rose. Not a story and whoever suggested it needs a quiet word! #auspol

The Coalition are a bunch of idiots, BUT answer the frickin question Bowen! #auspol
