What the world is seeing from the classless, obnoxious, boorish behavior of fans at the Ryder Cup is another example of what US has become under Trump, where it’s encouraged and celebrated. He’s posted about the tournament several times, but never told them to stop being idiots.

Too funny

"Living through the rise of a dictatorship just means inhabiting a space that is gradually shrinking. There’s no point in resisting, not at first. You just make do with whatever breathing room you still have—until you lose that too." Read Gisela Salim-Peyer: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

There he goes again with this weird framing that the struggle is between populism and ‘patriotic national renewal’. Not it fucking isn’t. It’s between fascism and democracy. He’s right there’s a struggle, but he has no idea what it’s about or whose side he’s on. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🚨🚨 NEW DOCUMENTS FROM EPSTEIN'S ESTATE DETAILING HIS DAILY SCHEDULE: They show meetings with Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel, and a potential visit to Epstein’s Island for Elon Musk. Prince Andrew is listed as a passenger on Epstein’s jet. DOJ must release the Epstein files NOW.

Is there any point, any point at all, at which this government might just realise that the strategy isn’t working? Asking for a country.

ID cards. A massive IT project with a spiralling budget that will suck all the time and energy from government and Whitehall for years, while raising serious civil liberties issues and enriching some rapacious US tech company and giving it access to our data. Forgive me, if I’m underwhelmed.

People seem very slow to learn that right wing populism ALWAYS ends in tears

Keir Starmer’s message to the millions on the left desperate for him to show that he understands what people want from his Labour government: “Fuck off”.

In the interests of justice they could backdate it as well to compensate the millions of children and families pushed unnecessarily into poverty since 2017. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If he doesn’t publicly stand up for Sadiq, he’s complicit.

Reupping “light inside the body” from the great Sarah Cooper. An all timer. youtube.com/shorts/RxDKW...

Trump’s gibberish about paracetamol and autism would be grossly irresponsible in a podcaster or a TikTokker, but in the President of the United States, of all people, it is unconscionable. A new low. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Putting all this together, @lgilbert.co find the following. It's not that Farage is (just) exaggerating/overstating - he is simply lying about migrants, jobs, wages and benefits. Media should be very clear about this. www.laurenpolicy.com/p/are-recent...

I absolutely despair of this Labour government. They have strayed so far from Labour’s foundational principles, they are no longer recognisable. They utterly fail to communicate whatever the fuck the are doing. They seem to be just waiting passively to be put out their misery. Labour MPs should act.

WHY are our UK news channels carrying all this live without fact check or comment as if it was some normal event and not a deranged cult ceremony?

Charlie Kirk was a foul, racist shit stirrer who attacked her personally so, no, she’s not going to ‘honour’ and him - and neither should her white colleagues have. Shame on them.

Hate filled sack of piss makes a video.

Put Elon Musk on the UK banned list. Sign and share. startafire.co/scramnews/ba...

Clown time.

The American establishment’s willingness to defend their citizens’ liberties seems to be in inverse proportion to the condescension with which it used to lecture the rest of the world about them. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

Here’s what a Ball State University employee said that led to their termination:

👀 What price US investment in the UK? An Australian reporter barred for asking Trump a simple question? Palestinian Action banned and 100s subsequently arrested because they vandalised his golf course? If that’s the cost, they should be told they can keep their rotten money.

Republicans have no issues using they/them when talking about what one single person did to Charlie Kirk.

Trump not welcome here.

Let’s give Donald Trump a very British welcome.

Still one of my all time favourite films. RIP Robert Redford

It’s good to see Starmer punching back at last, but I still don’t think he’s got it. He’s still trying to couch it in terms that might appeal to Reform voters. It’s not about ‘patriotic national renewal’. It a global struggle for democracy. He needs to come out and say it.

Can someone explain the ‘logic’ of Kemi Badenoch complaining that Peter Mandelson’s friendship with a convicted paedophile is overshadowing the state visit by Donald Trump, who was… a friend of the same convicted paedophile?

There’s no point in critiquing a single word of this spray of poisonous garbage. It’s just an all out fascist diatribe and we all see it for what it is.

Oh, shame.

There is no ‘centre’ any more. If you’re not 100% with the racists and the fascists, they see you as the enemy. You have to pick a side.

“There is no where in the Bible where we are taught to honor evil and how you die does not redeem how you lived. You don’t become a hero in death when you are a weapon of the enemy in life” ~Pastor Howard John-Wesley of Alfred Street Baptist Church In DC #CharlieKirk (🎥: Etan Thomas)

This from a sitting Democratic senator. Pay attention indeed. Fascism is here.

Progressive outlet The Lead have launched a petition to ban Elon Musk from the UK following his incitement at the Tommy Robinson demo. Perhaps someone will launch one for Govt departments and politicians to ditch X... open.substack.com/pub/theleadu...

I hope I can live long enough to see Stephen Miller prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced for his numerous crimes against humanity. I hope we can all see him sniveling and crying as he's taken to prison.

This exchange says it all.

It’s good that he’s finally said something, but for the PM’s condemnation of fascism to be an ‘exclusive’, pretty much sums up the problem right there.

Here's a fact based rebuttal to Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk's racist rhetoric at yesterday's anti-immigrant march: "Britain certainly has problems, but a migrant-fueled crime wave isn't one of them" www.instagram.com/reel/DObsRoM...

There are lots of ways for a government to tackle the rise of an insurgent far right, some of them effective, some of them not, but I have to admit compete silence is a new one on me.

Can someone tell me what the plan is is to shut these fucking people down and save our democracy? Because right now I don’t see a plan. I see a huge gaping vacuum where there should be a plan. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Want to know how far the Overton window has shifted? This far: “Just kill them.”

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

So long as he continues to favour Reform over progressive voters, there’s no repairing it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
