Excited to see Phil Wang's Work in Progress show tonight at 8pm at The 99 Club. There are still a handful of tickets left if you fancy it. He's also being supported by the excellent @alexkealy.bsky.social and I'm MCing so it should be a great night! fixr.co/event/phil-w...

Victoria Derbyshire allowing Zia Yusuf to tie himself in absolute knots by asking him simple questions about Reform policy. A masterclass in quality journalism.

AOC on Randy Fine: “This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official — It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this — Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept & normalize it”

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

🚨Reform leader Nigel Farage has posted on X “1 million people living in this country don’t speak any English at all. 4 million people living in this country barely speak passable English” It’s racked up 2 million views AND IT’S COMPLETELY UNTRUE youtu.be/o56Tw8vSEfE?...

Why didn't Farage just answer the question about Reform's education policy? Why did he seek to mock and ridicule the journalist asking a perfectly legitimate question and try to deligitimise the FT? Easy. That's who he is. An arrogant man who doesn't have any policies beyond pointing at the sea.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

The Regime has refused to release any evidence or information on the murder of Alex Pretti to the State of Minnesota or to any other public identity. youtu.be/KcU8r3LtWgk?...

CALL IT LIKE IT IS!!! republikkkans are the THE EPSTEIN CLASS ... OF MORBIDLY RICH PEDOPHILES “We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It is the wealthiest Cabinet ever! This is THE EPSTEIN CLASS.” ~ Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA)

Meanwhile, in Germany, the public weighs in on what they think of the Epstein Administration. #BrutalButAccurate

Trump’s CFTC Chair Michael Selig announced today he will try to block states from regulating online prediction (gambling) markets. Wonder why?

“As the airplane took off, Epstein started touching me forcibly in between my legs, and I freaked out. I realized, this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped. They whisked me away to the island. I was stuck there. They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was completely conned."

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

"What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter." Terry Pratchett; Going Postal #Discworld #LocalElections #ToryReformPartyChallenge #LabourUTurn

Gary Lineker, "Jim Ratcliffe is a migrant himself, an economic migrant, he lives in Monaco" "A lot of the immigrants contribute enormously, and the facts show you that, in terms of revenue, paying tax etc" "Whereas Jim in Monaco, is doing everything he can to avoid paying tax"

'''Animals can't murder. Only us superior races can murder. That's one of the things that sets us apart from animals.'" Terry Pratchett; Lords and Ladies #Discworld #Navalny #FrogPoison #PoliticalMurder 🐸

Hillary Clinton condemns Trump’s stance on Russia-Ukraine war | Ukraine news https://www.byteseu.com/1801017/ Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the Trump administration’s position on Russia’s war against Ukraine is shameful. She said this during a panel discussion at the …

Just as he promised, he’s destroying NATO which has kept Europe & the US together for 80 years. This will open the doors for Russia to wage war or ultimatums on Europe for takeover & China to take Taiwan & eventually Japan along with other islands. To officially give presidents the dictator title.

Dear Americans, I always thought when your government inevitably built concentration camps for you that you would care more. I thought you’d know that even his supporters would be in danger. I thought much too highly of you. Love, God

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔 (From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

Ghislaine Maxwell lied on her US citizenship application. She checked the no box when asked if she had ever procured anyone for prostitution. She had been trafficking since 1994. This could get another 25 years added to her sentence.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total. The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

If the Brexit years really were behind us, Reform would no longer be a threat, there’d be no talk of leaving the ECHR, no Brexit peerages or whining about ‘Brexit betrayal’. Instead, there’d be accountability and an electoral price to pay for the damage done. A ruthless reality check. No prisoners.

"The night was as black as the inside of a cat. It was the kind of night, you could believe, on which the gods moved men as though they were pawns on the chessboard of fate." Terry Pratchett; Wyrd Sisters #Discworld #Caturday #HappyCaturday 🐈‍⬛🐾💗💖

"You just peeled an apple, getting one length of peel and threw the peel behind you; it'd land in the shape of his name Millions of girls had tried it and had inevitably been disappointed unless the loved one was called Scscs” Terry Pratchett; Wyrd Sisters #Discworld #ValentinesDay #LovelsInTheAir❤️

@yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social The British public did try to tell you but you wouldn't listen.

This is a breathtaking article about the complete clown show at DHS being overseen by Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski (gift link)

Dems are about to effectively shutdown the DHS. Now it’s time to impeach Kristi Noem!

The most corrupt pro-Putin president in US history endorses the most corrupt pro-Putin leader in Europe.

"Never stand between two mirrors…Never lie but you don't always have to be honest Never wish Especially don't wish upon a star which is astronomically stupid Open your eyes and then open your eyes again” Terry Pratchett; Hat Full of Sky #Discworld #Superstitions #FridayTheThirteenth

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

"No-one could be so simple, no-one could be so creatively dumb, without being very intelligent. It was like being an actor. Only a very good actor was any good at being a bad actor." Terry Pratchett; Jingo #Discworld #Bondi #Congress #ActingUpForTrump #TheEpsteinFiles

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

We have a federal administration led by idiots and criminals.

How many more times will we have to read the words, “It’s way worse than you think?” open.substack.com/pub/luciantr...

Four months ago, I committed to introducing a pilot of GP walk-in clinics. Today I am opening Scotland's first walk-in GP clinic in Wester Hailes, Edinburgh - open seven days a week, 12-8pm, no appointments needed. Thanks to our fantastic NHS staff for making this possible.

Scotland leading the other nations of the UK as ever. Westminster has no new policies, they just eventually adopt Scotland's excellent plans and systems years later, banging on as if they came up with it.

Enough with the outrage theatre. If Reform stands for ordinary working people, why did all their MPs vote against the Workers’ Rights Bill? You can’t wedge immigration into that one. It’s just the record. #VoteGreen
