OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

He looks like a vampiric gerbil.

This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

This is the basic problem with the "Starmer is a decent man" take. No decent person would have made that vile speech.

People aren’t afraid of the Prince of Darkness anymore.

A decent PM? Where have you been for the last year, Polly? Mars?

Signed. A drugs deal mainly negotiated by Mandelson. 😏 The UK government has agreed a deal with Donald Trump to hike NHS drugs prices. The government is refusing to say how much this will cost or how it will be paid for. Tell Wes Streeting to come clean: act.globaljustice.org.uk/tell-wes-str...

Bitcoin has plunged by 50% from an all-time peak in October. Yet another thing that all the world's worst people told us would herald a golden age. More like a massive shit shower for gamblers... sorry... investors.

Tiny Pants tossed from bar. Don't let them rest. Don't let them eat. Make them quit. #ICEOUT #Bovino #PedoProtectionForce lasvegassun.com/news/2026/fe...

Starmer’s decision to effectively delegate politics to McSweeney is possibly one of the weirdest ones for any party leader and Prime Minister to have ever made. But it essentially means that he can’t ditch his advisor to save himself because without his advisor, what is Starmer?

Starmer's refusal to sack McSweeney is a masterclass in his signature crisis move: There's an obviously right thing to do, which he'll obviously have to do at some point, but he won't do it until the crisis has done the maximal possible damage and he'll get the least possible credit for doing it.

🤣

News from Poland. Apparently the Americans have started circulating form letters nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize - all the nation in question has to do is sign it. The Speaker of the Sejm told them to fuck off and the US Ambassador has had a meltdown.

"As bad as I thought the release was it has been worse than anticipated" @rokhanna.bsky.social on the latest released Epstein files.

Pretty much every bit of trouble this government has had since the very beginning has been self-inflicted.

this is such a weird story: An influential Labour-aligned think-tank previously run by Morgan McSweeney, now Sir Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, paid a public affairs company to identify the source of leaks to journalists about the group’s funding. www.ft.com/content/dca0...

“This is dark shit.” An astonishing scoop from Democracy for Sale: https://democracyforsale.substack.com/p/exclusive-morgan-mcsweeneys-labour-together-investigators-journalists

I actually just sung out the full four lines in my head.

Every time my Bluesky feed refreshes, am I expecting a breaking FT story revealing McSweeney and Mandelson talked Starmer into convert all the UK's money to Bitcoin last month? No. Am I nervous it will appear anyway? More than I should be.

Not convinced on the basis of this Q+A that Starmer's line of essentially saying "I'm sorry I was lied to" is going to hold

Excuse my ignorance, but why would you announce before vetting is complete?

This seems to be an interesting development after Bill Clinton agreed to testify publicly

feels like Labour is stuck in the seventh circle of leadership contest hell, ie pingponging endlessly between 'he should go!' and 'but not be replaced by any of the people available in this actual life'

Still chasing those 'Hero voters'. Pathetic...

Outside Buckingham Palace today. Whatever the wrongs of it, I can’t see any lawyer representing Andrew advising him to give evidence, given he’s such a terrible witness on his own behalf. As for the ramifications of compelling testimony see the next tweet for a link to an explanatory article

🤮

Mc Sweenyism still dominating the PM's thinking even as the ship is driven onto the rocks. Time to drop the pilot...

For all the talk of how rarely voters engage with politics, it's telling how high the awareness numbers are on these sorts of surveys.

Mildly surprised to hear R4 doing a nice chatty feature on this fellowship life story...Next week 'The Heinrich Himmler I knew' by A.Pologist...

So, Starmer replaced Karen Pierce, a veteran diplomat respected by everyone who has ever met and worked with her, with a heavily compromised Epstein stooge who thought he could do the UK Ambassador job on weekends and via Zoom while serving as Chancellor of Oxford. "I'm going to kill people, Leo."

“I look at the performative hand-wringing, all the ‘OMG can’t believe Starmer appointed him despite all this!’ and I feel I’m in a parallel universe. Starmer appointed him BECAUSE of, not despite it. To be our interface with a corrupt WH that operates in precisely the same way. Everyone understood.”

I'd echo this. The mood in the last couple of hours has got *extremely* dark.

I have never seen anger like this on the Labour benches in private and in public. This is the kind of territory where things can move very fast.

Just a heard a lovely Freudian slip on R4 PM - Sir Steer Calmer! Perfect...

Imagine being a Labour activist going on the doorstep this evening for the candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election. At least you'll learn some new swear words and aspects of human anatomy.

He'll be relieved.

😱 FFS...

Starmer has to go or the catastrophe of Farage will come about. Surely, every Labour MP knows this now?

Yep, a crucial element. There was no problem too solve. They had a pro in place. But they had to play Westminster silly buggers.

Looking like a marathon right now

A new report indicates that zero net migration would shrink the UK economy by 3.6% and likely force an increase in taxes, as well as being cruel, inhuman and impractical. Migration is good for our country. Inequality is the problem. Tax the super-rich.

There is nothing synthetic about the Labour rage in the Commons. It's genuine. Starmer needs to quit. And soon.

All political careers end in disappointment. Starmer is in the departure lounge. He'll be gone. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but soon. #PMQs

In an otherwise utterly grim saga this is, I'm sorry, hilarious. Epstein, the recipient of Mandelson's leaks chides him for being indiscreet and betraying his bosses in his autobiography.

Gorton & Denton is between the Green Party and Reform. And Farage knows his candidate is weak as. Hannah Spencer for the win.
