Hegseth really is a dangerous idiot

Those people in America and the UK who are weaponising the death of Henry Nowak for their disgusting little hate agenda are absolute scum. All of them. I could not hate anyone more.

Tom Peck on Robert Kenyon's performance on Question Time

The protest, which turned violent, was also attended by several far-right leaders, anti-immigrant influencers and known fascists. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Farage knew exactly what he was doing yesterday. June hit and the far-right needed an excuse to restart another summer of riots and violence that is becoming regular for the UK. Another grieving family manipulated. Absolutely disgusting.

If you say "I support Palestine Action", they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on the news.

What the country needs right now is a cynical gobshite jumping on the bandwagon of a tragedy to generate anger and division.

He's quoting Kanye West to score points and stir up trouble over a truly horrible case that resulted in the death of a young man. I hope it all backfires horribly for this poor excuse of a politician.

It is a recent thing, Nazi sympathisers and fascist far-right politicians stepping out of the dark shadows they have lurked in for years. Perhaps it is because the last of the generation who fought in, lived through, WWll now are dying out? Make hating Nazis normal again. Bring back shame.

The relentless pursuit of justice and dealing out of real, meaningful consequences is the only way to deal with these people. Otherwise, we’ll end up where the US is, with absolute elite impunity.

Report ‘phone hack’ to police or I will do it for you, Labour chair tells Farage Anna Turley gives Reform leader 24 hours to report Russian hacking claim in ‘public and national interest’ www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I’ve been reading a lot about the end of the Roman republic recently, and the slide of that empire into imperial monarchy. The stamping of the leader’s face on coins, colossal statues and a reworking of the forum. But even Augustus didn’t build himself a ballroom-fortress.

So the trade bullshit was to bankrupt the farmers so land for data centers could be bought for pennies on the dollar. Got it.

As many as 7 in 10 of the rooms reserved by FIFA in Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Seattle have been canceled, the American Hotel Association says. Oops.

So totally caving-in www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Unbelievable!

Scott Hastings, a man of integrity, honesty and empathy. A player who never gave below his maximum. There is nothing more you can ask as a legacy. RIP

Half-expect to be told next the £5m was for a secure ballroom in Clacton.

Nigel Farage’s partner, a former waitress not known to have any private money, bought a £1 million house for cash shortly after he secretly received £5 million from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire - the same house that he claimed, months previously, that he was about to pay for himself.

Put this person in charge.

This is the end result of Shabana Mahmood’s nasty immigration policies… more votes for Reform and so, more racism scaring and dividing our communities. Not sure how Labour can justify this, politically or morally. It’s so far from what we’d all hoped. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If Streeting is the answer, Labour hasn't understood the question.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said there was "no obligation" to declare a £5m gift he received from a billionaire backer before he became an MP. Sky’s Beth Rigby points out the rules

Analysis: The SNP may have won again but Scottish politics has been upended - from myself & @severincarrell.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The answer is radical transformative Labour government with a huge majority Starmer offers nothing but blancmange though sadly

I'm looking forward to half-empty stadiums and the organisational disaster hopefully leading to the Olympics being postponed or moved

I hope the World Cup is an unmitigated disaster. Football will survive, hopefully FIFA won't.

2nd night in a row of a team playing in red constantly harassing the referee in the Champions League semis #UECL #ChampionsLeague

Yes. Stop Farage. Stop Reform. Stop the corruption. Stop the racism. Stop the misogyny. Stop the hatred. Stop the cruelty. Stop the incompetence. Stop the division. Stop the threats. Stop the fascism. Stop the failure. Just, ffs, stop him.

Election Campaign Latest: Announce something unbelievably petty to stir up outrage while delighting the dregs of society, knowing that it is utterly unworkable and could never be implemented.

Here’s a little rhyme with a serious message! All leadership should be held accountable. Full stop! #SheShed #LockHimUp #TrumpLies #DonTheCon

Good grief.

One thing Sadiq Khan isn't doing as Mayor is giving £100,000 of public money to someone he's shagging behind his wife's back under the guise of 'IT lessons'.

There's no debate which is improved by the intervention of Tony Blair. This is ableism. It frames anxiety, depression and ADHD as things people just need to get on with, with no acknowledgement of how damaging that attitude is, or how hard it can be to be recognised and diagnosed in the first place.

Back to the 60s "Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity" - George Carlin

IT WAS FUCKING OPEN BEFORE YOU WENT BUMBLING IN. This is like a toxic relationship with a narcissist. They screw up, yet SOMEHOW it is our fault. You broke it, you fix it. Incidentally, Trump’s approval rating is 33% A record low. Tell me again who needs what?

QUICK! While the Hungarian guy is out, but before the Bulgarian guy comes in!

Ossoff: I don’t know if you saw, but JD Vance was in Georgia this week. Don’t worry—no one showed up. The stadium was empty.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history. Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes. But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year. Trickle down hoax.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

That Palantir would do this is both shocking—not because this is some weird heel turn, but because it is a fully mask-off moment for tech bro fascisti—and also the least surprising thing from a company that has always been creepy as fuck.

How do VAR let that Mbappe goal stand. Stanisic is assaulted in the build up #UCL #ChampionsLeague

Surely now Pope Leo could excommunicate Vance, that would be brilliant

It take weapons grade arrogance to invent popesplaining.

Rather than acknowledge the role Trump's decisions played in triggering this crisis, Starmer is placing the blame on Iran. King Charles should not be put in a position, by Starmer's government, of lending credibility to Trump by visiting the orange madman.
