Just to be clear: - Paracetamol does not cause autism. - Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK - We do not have a massive free speech problem here. - Britain is not on the verge of civil war. These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Trump going on about London being a terrible, unsafe place to live. London’s homicide rate is c1.5 per 100,000, a tiny fraction of most American cities (e.g. St Louis 88, Atlanta 32). Maybe he should stop listening to Herr Farage and get his own house in order. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Still the summit of Reddit.

⚡️While Trump met Zelensky, Russia launched drone attack on Zaporizhzhia, killing 1, wounding 15. Russia launched a drone attack on the southern city of Zaporizhzhia on Sept. 23, killing one person and injuring at least 15 others, Zaporizhzhia Oblast Governor Ivan Fedorov said.

“Even for Donald Trump, this was not normal. It was not normal for the UN General Assembly. It was not usual for any world leader, elected or not – dictators usually take decades to lose contact with reality in the way Trump appeared to have done today.”

During the UN General Assembly, Russia continued attacking Ukraine. 16 explosions in Kharkiv, most of them in one area of the city. Blackouts reported. Russian drones are in Ukrainian airspace now, no doubt flying to attack Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.

Not the rapture. Just human trafficking by a degenerate, vicious government.

Everyone gets up and walks out when Netanyahu speaks. It's a shame they didn't do it for Donald Trump as well.

Reform and the far right are nostalgic for the world war in which Britain was fighting to stop people rather like them from taking over. It’s amazing to watch.

Look at all those people who have turned up to ask Trump about the Epstein files

NEWS! If Global Warming is real, why did I have to put on thermal underwear this morning, Trump tells UN newsthump.com/2025/09/23/i...

Truly facile, awful analysis by Nick Robinson normalising hate speech by 'ordinary people' and equating it with free speech. The boiling point is too many of Britain's commentators unthinkingly wading in the toxic swamp of X and believing it is what passes as normal.

The consequences of this irresponsible, criminal embrace of medical quackery is going to be devastating. Democrats should form a rival health authority of genuine experts, to issue science- based health advice for regular people, who can no longer trust federal agency advice.

Israel a 'totally normal country' that threatens civilians with violence for bringing food to people they are starving to death.

After criticising Tories and Labour for aping Farage, Ed Davey says, "We have a moral responsibility to aim high"

statistic of the day

spokesperson for Sadiq Khan: “We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response. “London is the greatest city in the world, safer than major US cities, and we’re delighted to welcome the record number of US citizens moving here.”

This signals very clearly that #Reform will not hesitate to remove anybody's rights if they think there's capital to be made from doing so. Nobody is safe

Even this mythical BS figure of £234bn is £234bn over 50 years. So yeah, in reality its nothing, and his plan will cost a fortune. More like -£234bn.

The richest 3 people have more money than the poorest 4 billion. But the problem (according to those richest people) is the poor people.

How it started // How it’s going

To be fair, there have been some batshit crazy speeches to the UN General Assembly over the years. But most of them have had, at the very least, a discernable point. For sheer incoherence and deranged narcissism, Trump's may be the maddest of the lot.

Health insurance costs are about to rise by a record amount. This is happening after the seven largest publicly traded health insurance companies reported a combined $71 BILLION in profits in 2024. Instead of addressing this, Trump is spreading misinformation about Tylenol.

Trump never wanted political change, he wanted power for himself and money for his businesses at the expense of his voters. Listen to Stuart Stevens on MSNBC :

@pimlicat.bsky.social, CEO of B4B: "By undermining the UN, he makes the world more dangerous and unpredictable. Putin couldn’t ask for a better gift. World leaders must reject Trump's reckless attempt to rewrite the rules." https://bit.ly/3Kfqyxa

I feel this often about Labour. Instead of debunking what are very clearly racist, borderline crackpot ideas, they open up to them and explore them. Stop! Just say it's racist!

UK set for highest inflation in G7, OECD says. Real average wage hardly moved since 2008. Profiteering is the main cause. Start with controlling price of energy, water, rents. Even better nationalize energy and water, build social housing.

People are doing rapture jokes like there’s no tomorrow.

Trump is our common enemy www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Ministers could give mayors control of England's schools and hospitals in devolution shake-up. Won't end the curse of PFI, privatization of the NHS; reduce NHS queues, conjure up more GPSs and dentists, or provide funding for schools/NHS. But it will enable Ministers to pass the blame.

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

Trump to say that taking paracetamol during pregnancy can cause autism. Previously he suggested that people should inject themselves with disinfectants to beat COVID. Science does not support his claims. Trump is an embarrassment to the whole world.

Nigel Farage announces plan to deport legal immigrants. Will split families. Will resisters end-up in concentration camps? Plans to deny welfare benefits to those who worked, paid taxes. Produces false financial savings numbers. Will the next road to Auschwitz go through Clacton?

'Tylenol' is known in the civilised world as Paracetamol 2.4 million children born in Sweden between 1995 and 2019. Studied 186,000 children whose mothers were treated with paracetamol during pregnancy. news.ki.se/no-link-betw...

Nick Robinson on #r4today interviewed some Tory on tackling immigration this morning. After the usual horseshit about Rwanda, he honked out the desperate idea of just rounding up everyone in migrant hotels and deport them. He got laughed at. The Tory party is dead. A pointless Reform tribute act.

I'm glad Kimmel is coming back. However, "free speech" where you can reverse government-coerced corporate censorship but only if your supporters make stock price influencing noise would be like a healthcare system in which you need a GoFundMe to go viral to afford treatment. ... wait.

NEWS! Nation capable of spotting spurious link between paracetamol and autism still baffled by obvious link between guns and mass shootings

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

Could at least one journalist ask Donald Trump a question for me please? The question is this - WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???

Really not sure about the BBC leading U.K. news with Trump's autism crap. Why?

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Trump and RFK should just admit that what they really want to ban is women.

This person is so epically stupid.

“Dubai presents the hard-right vision of utopia: a place stripped of workers’ protections or the right to protest, a place of pure environmental dereliction” Good piece on the dystopian vision Farage, Tice & Reform are reaching for: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Utterly absurd. For instance I know one couple - one Iranian, one Greek who have lived here for forty years under indefinite leave to remain permission. They spent their adult lives here. worked. Paid taxes. Bought homes. Had children who live & work here
