I dunno… if Mahmood got sacked for this then that might give Labour a much-needed boost at the local elections.

Doesn't matter if the performance itself is staged. The fact is, talented musicians coming together and giving a performance in a public space means the masses get to witness this for free and that's beautiful. TT: Raphaël Froissart IG: Michel Tirabosco ~ Pan flute

Labour losing votes to Greens, Tories to Reform. The left / right split remains. The big story is loss of faith in trad parties. It's an inevitable consequence of nearly 20 years of austerity. The economy doesn't work for most of us. GDP means nothing if 90% of growth goes to the richest 10%

Just met a Reform UK voting couple who had no idea that it opposed: Recent rise in the minimum wage End of the two-child benefit cap Expansion of free school meals, free breakfast clubs Help with school uniforms Horrified that they would lose big from Reform How many others voted without knowing?

Multiple women serving sentences for nonviolent crimes at the minimum security prison where Ghislaine Maxwell is now serving time were punished for speaking to reporters about the special treatment Maxwell receives. At least two women were transferred to higher security facilities as punishment.

You wouldn’t marry someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t be friends with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t do business with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t work for someone who lied to u like this. You’d want nothing to do with someone who lied to u like this.

Here's Nigel Farage's "Tiktok guru" and adviser, Jack Anderton, telling GB News that he would be "worried" if the Jewish population was growing in the UK. When do we start seeing all the coverage about the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK?

🇬🇧😁🇬🇧😁🇬🇧😁🇬🇧😁🇬🇧😁 Everyone in my chair yoga class at local hospice has voted! If we can limp, lurch, hobble or be chauffeured to a polling booth, what’s your excuse? {none} We also all agreed who we weren’t voting for. Lovely Debbie who speaks via her phone typed: Farage is a cunt We all agreed.

The Green Party has complained to the Times newspaper after it published a cartoon "depicting leader Zack Polanski using anti-semitic tropes." The cartoon shows Polanski with a visibly hooked nose, "widely recognised as an element of anti-semitic imagery of Jewish people". They've engaged lawyers.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."

The US operation "Project Freedom" launched by President Trump collapsed within a day. Reportedly, Saudi Arabia has suspended overflight rights for US forces at the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. A call between Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman didnt resolve the issue.

I love this idea of “radical listening” as a way of healing division. As @georgemonbiot.bsky.social writes: “they seem to have found a way of tearing down the walls dividing us. Do this everywhere, and who knows? We could have a very different country”. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Environment Agency has not completed any prosecutions against water companies in England & Wales for pollution incidents occurring in the last five years. Companies rip-off people, dump sewage, still allowed to trade. Execs rewarded. Occasional corporate fines waived or deferred. archive.ph/db8Mt

Good morning and happy Thursday to everyone. Your periodic reminder that the Trump DOJ and FBI know the names of everyone who raped children on Epstein's island and refuse to prosecute any of them. Do not stop talking about Epstein.

Just voted for @greenparty.org.uk. I voted for hope - and against a political and media establishment which has ruined this country. It felt good. I highly recommend it 💚

What a creep! … AND it is clearly a deeply unattractive power play…covertly filming someone, posting it on SM as “dating/chat up“ advice 🙄 And then requiring payment to take it down. Then lying about that. What a massive jerk. Men: don’t follow this advice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Make Hate Weird Again.

We are THE CONSERVATIVES. Remember us? We gave you 14 years of strong & stable government. We saved all your lives. Our leader Boris Johnson died for you. We cut all your services because that’s what you wanted. For the local elections today: VOTE CONSERVATIVE X #SemiForKemi 🇬🇧

Reform is just chock-full of really horrible, inadequate people. Don’t be Reform.

New poll just dropped! The only poll that matters is tomorrow. Please vote and if you can - get involved with your local campaign! Some of these seats are going to come to a handful of votes. Replace Labour. Stop Reform. Vote Green. 💚

NEWS: The Epstein files are now bound into 3,437 physical volumes in a new exhibition space in Tribeca. Millions of pages. Two stories tall. And yet only two people have ever faced accountability. Katie Phang discusses the rage she felt walking through the space.

Bunty turned to me in bed last night & said ‘What happened to that Sarah girl. The bald one married to lovely Michael Gove?’ I showed her the news article. ‘Silly girl, should never have left Govey, he was a real catch,’ she replied. Then we got down to some nip nip wiggy wiggy.

Again: why would anyone come here for this under this regime? ⚽️ nypost.com/2026/05/04/b...

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

🇬🇧😡🇬🇧😡🇬🇧😡🇬🇧😡 Posted on Threads by me. I stand by every word. This country is slouching into full fat fascism. Maybe not this Friday, but in a few years. i see Trump and those behind him are now going to prevent the ’midterms’. What a surprise. Dunno what it will take for ‘you’ to wake up.

Wow 🤩 The Weather Channel posted this.

Carry this with you today & always. You are amazing, strong, worthy, brave & beautiful !!!!! Keep going & believing in yourself!! Never forget how much strength you carry within you & never forget who you are & how far you’ve come!!!!! #SheShed

Reform, Labour and the Tories all take money from oil & gas giants and private healthcare interests. That tells you who they’re really working for. The Green Party doesn’t take that money. We answer to you - and to the future of our planet. Vote Green on Thursday. 💚

Is Turquoise Tory defect Jonathan Gullis is getting a good commission for the JCB pothole machine referral? "Conservative Party Deputy Chairman Jonathan Gullis took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when the company axed hundreds of jobs in his constituency just two weeks later"

Good morning and happy Monday to everyone. Fat Satan is sending fifteen thousand troops, one hundred aircraft, and guided-missile destroyers to the Strait of Hormuz. Not enough people are talking about this.

Brexit damaged our economy and left us isolated. We asked people in Glasgow if they've benefitted from Brexit. Here are their answers ⬇️

Time to sue Nigel Farage for damages.

Game changing news: a new one minute immunotherapy jab will save cancer patients hours in hospital. Having completed my own treatment with pembrolizumab this Easter, I know what that time means. This is how we get the NHS back on its feet. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Most of the cruel, racist stereotypes now being propagated about Muslims and immigrants were originally crafted as antisemitic attacks on Jews. The language and sources are in some cases exactly the same. Prejudice against any minority endangers all minorities. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

😡😡😡😡 Now you see how the Nazis managed to do what they did. The fact that anybody could ‘announce’ this, publically, and millions will be greeting it with glee, says how low this country has sunk! Yeah right not YOU! But here it is. And after the Reform concentration/ICE camps - who will be ‘next’?

Further proof, if it were needed (which isn't), that Helen Whateley is an appalling human being, whatever the context.
