Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

It is fully irresponsible to argue for an American return to global leadership. This country is deeply unwell and has no business leading anything until that's no longer the case. There's a whole world out there capable of tending to the world's problems. We must tend to ours.

But nobody in the gallery at Sky News, BBC News 24 or Radio 5 Live ever says, "This is a waste of perfectly good airtime. Cut this tedious fucker off. He's talking utter bollocks." bsky.app/profile/rola...

100% - see also Reform deportation plans. In Britain we need to stop seeing news as entertainment and broadcasters should be brutal in how they present obvious nonsense

America's decrepit mad king with apple sauce for brains can't even spell MMR let alone understand the science behind it. It's reminiscent of Trump's clueless, bungled response to the pandemic in 2020. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Farridge-Deform UK and Trump-MAGA are two cheeks of the same backside. They're both reactionary extremist cults who choose to defy reason and who cannot be reached. bsky.app/profile/ajs1...

Chris Mason is laying it on extra thick because he‘s heard he’s one of the final two candidates still in the running to be Deform UK’s new head of comms. The other one is Justin Webb. bsky.app/profile/dori...

Reform are now coming after people with permanent residency. It'll be citizens next. No one is safe from authoritarian governments.

Somebody should let crossbench peer and former Vote Leave Chair Gisela Stuart (born in Velden, Bavaria) that her fellow Brexiter Nigel Farridge wants to deport her #Awkward

*sees Disney dropped a Star Wars trailer today* *taps the sign*

We're past time to deport Farridge and his broken-headed followers via a catapult into deep space. What a waste of time he is. Good for nothing but plant compost. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Truss is desperate for Tickle Me Elon to notice her. bsky.app/profile/jame...

Here's what Saint Charlie said about Crockett a few months before he died. www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

The media - no, we're not going to report on serious Lib Dem policies The media - yes, we will report on fun stunts The media, also - the Lib Dems need to show they've got serious policies

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right… What a grim betrayal of our democracy. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

Why are you calling all the fascism-ing we are doing with our secret police.... 'fascism'?! It's so hurtful!

As I have said repeatedly: Donald Trump is dead set on turning the United States into a Russia style mafia state. Surrounding himself with deeply corrupt officials furthers that goal.

Excellent

oh bravo @privateeyenews.bsky.social 🏆

It’s past time for NATO to send a Russian fighter jet to the bottom of the Baltic Sea. Türkiye did it back in December 2015 when it shot down a Russian Su-24 on the Türkiye-Syria border. Send a FAFO message to Putin & his menagerie of gormless meat puppet generals #Estonia bsky.app/profile/kaja...

My background is in social media and civil litigation, so I know a few things about trolls and difficult witnesses—and both describe Kash Patel. My take on how the Democrats did in Patel’s appearance this week on Capitol Hill, in the replies.

It has happened numerous times now that I come across a Charlie Kirk quote that is so extreme I'm convinced it's fake, then I check and it's real. ca.news.yahoo.com/fact-check-c...

It's very hard to take any of the people involved in this seriously. bsky.app/profile/stur...

I agree entirely. But if a council spends more on improving public amenities & public spaces that lift local residents' moods, it's a racing certainty the Telegraph or Mail will write about how councils "waste" thousands on flower bulbs instead of funding schools and so on. bsky.app/profile/jonn...

CNN has made the editorial decision to keep playing this clip on air for guests making sure they get the full context of what Kimmel said. Good.

The Spectator now lurching towards fascism by analogy, including an interview with Andrew Tate (they’ll regret that). Of course, the Weimar comparison is daft. There’s no interesting culture for a start.

America's mad king is visiting his favourite theme park, Ye Olde Englande™️. He'll have his photo taken with King Charles™️& Queen Camilla™️: and look at the soldiers in their red tunics & tall black furry hats. Perhaps he'll get to try on an actual suit of armour as well. bsky.app/profile/kerc...

The MAGA rubes in the background are just like Russians who, when they're interviewed for state TV, blame Ukraine for Russia's invasion: and say that the Ukrainian people are all Nazis and should be wiped out. MAGA America & Putin's Russia are mirror images of one another. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I’m old enough to remember when Conservative Party leaders believed in law and order.

The Tory brand was build on a perceived skill on managing the economy and being strong on law and order. Boris and Truss destroyed the former, and Boris and Kemi the latter. A husk of a party with no meaning or direction.

These same people said the same thing between June 2016 and Jan 2020 during the Brexit era, eg: "We're not racists. We just want our country back [from brown people]" Like Brexit, Saturday's march was a shabby, scabby, squalid display of entitled, resentful, self-pitying white English nationalism.

Kemi Badenoch's somewhat hectoring, patronising voice really grates on me now. Just another disastrous Tory leader from the House of Brexit.

What a pointless, wretched, hollowed-out moral vacuum of a human being Kemi Badenoch is. The Conservative Party deserves to cease to exist for electing this ghoul as its leader. bsky.app/profile/zoeg...

Who could've guessed that a bunch of drunk podcasters are incompetent administrators?

“I’m going to tell him about you.” 🤡

This is crazy. All of this violence -- all of it -- is perpetrated and supported by right wing extremists. It is ALWAYS right wing extremists, including elected officials, who call for violence, mock the death and loss that follows. They celebrate it. Somehow their behavior is the Left's fault?

'We went to a far right rally by mistake'

Honestly think this is the way to fight this. Just constantly go "no, actually, you are racist. Your views are racist. They're empirically disproven and yet you cling to them. That's racism. Happy to clarify."

Yes, yes you are. Stop cosplaying "legitimate concerns". When you join a far right rally, organised by well known far right leader Tommy Robinson, with a host of speakers who outright say they are far right, you are a racist. No ifs, buts or maybes. There are no excuses for being there.

The Telegraph working overtime to make racism and bigotry respectable.

Jon Stewart on last week’s Daily Show referred to it as Trump’s “hand syphilis”. bsky.app/profile/atru...

No civil war thanks, Elon, we're British

March route for Wednesday’s Stop Trump demo. Rally in Parliament Square from 5pm to 7pm. Come after work to show your opposition to Trumpismo being imported into the UK by Reform

Another bare-faced, outright and easily disprovable lie from entitled Tory liar and traitor Gove whose entire career is built on betraying the UK and acting against the best interests of the British people.

Everybody who lives in a Labour constituency should write to their MP and reprimand them for the spineless, gutless, bloodless response of Keir Starmer's government to the uptick in far right intimidation these last few weeks and months, culminating in yesterday's march #BBCLauraK #TrevorPhillips
