When you come third place to a bin

So they're all taking this really well

I managed 1 hour of Jenrick on @lbc.co.uk (before turning it off) who was seeming to suggest that this farcical by-election somehow negates whatever decision the PCS comes to in relation to his boss’s (dubious) financial affairs. Newsflash Bob: IT DOESN’T! #HonestBob #Jenrick

Hear we go @lbcwatchuk.bsky.social Deep breaths😑 #HonestBob

President Trump: Would you go to Moscow? President Zelenskyy: It's difficult. There are a lot of Ukrainian drones there. It's dangerous.

That’ll be a definite “no”.

In case you missed it, here's Count Binface's appearance on the BBC this morning.

“Reform cannot pay for £200,000 Clacton by-election, Government says as it confirms move would be illegal”. But Reform knew that already.

Another day, another Farage crypto scandal. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Kuenssberg: Hey Bob come on my show and I’ll give you enough slack to present an uninterrupted party political broadcast. Shocking!

Donald’s week just keeps getting worse and worse for him🤗 news.sky.com/story/birthr...

Tune in tomorrow morning when Nick will be asking listeners “Is it right that Burham takes Westminster to the north?”

Fantastic footage from Russia 🤩🚘⛽️

Class, in accordance with Texas’s new law, we are going to engage in Bible study. Please open you Bibles to Ezekiel 23:20. “There she lusted after her lovers, whose penises were like those of donkeys and whose ejaculations were like that of horses.” The Bible, pornography for the WHOLE family!

And there it is… www.desmog.com/2026/04/30/r...

In twenty years' time, the politicians who fought Net Zero so they could buy the votes of idiots and pocket those sweet, sweet oil donations will be remembered alongside history's great villains. Actually, scratch that. Nobody before them ever gambled with an entire planet.

As we celebrate ten years since the UK voted to leave the EU, it's worth just reminding ourselves of the many benefits of Brexit, as clearly articulated by those who voted for it.

This is what should have been shouted from the rooftops during the *first* two weeks of Starmer’s government, not the last. Labour brands Nigel Farage a 'threat to national security' for his stance on the European Union www.lbc.co.uk/article/labo...

The next PM could - and in my view should - properly stick it to Trump (as Meloni has just done); announce a plan to undo Brexit; put immigration to bed for at least one electoral cycle; take their government off Twitter; unequivocally condemn Netanyahu & resurrect Leveson 2… A boy can dream.

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

Stories like this about acts of heroism by people who are not white never go viral www.thesun.co.uk/news/3937252...

To help you visualise just how much a trillion is think of: * 1 million = a stack of £1 coins filling a room. * 1 billion = filling a large building. * 1 trillion = filling a small city. We should all be worried that the world’s richest man *ever* is a fucking Nazi.

Hundreds of strangers in Belfast working together. Doing shopping, providing accommodation, driving kids to school, people to hospital appointments. Have just been told of a woman close to us who hasn't left her house since Monday so we'll be sorting her out today and getting her anything she needs

The most disgusting behaviour I’ve ever witnessed in public spaces was directed at Sadiq Khan by ‘anti-Ulez’ protesters, who of course received way more coverage, much of it friendly, than the scheme’s incredible success ever will.

Everyone on X and elsewhere who called for a violent response should be charged with incitement. Everyone involved in the pogrom should be locked up with exemplary sentences. Govt should make it clear that will be the response in future anywhere else. Enough.

We need leaders who can spell out what's happening clearly and with force.

Elon Musk incited pogroms in Belfast.

this should frighten you

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

Daily Mail, Jan 2009 on the "great lightbulb revolt" "Millions of Britons are finally waking up to the fact that their beloved lightbulbs will disappear…" Since then, LEDs helped UK cut peak power demand by equiv of 2x nuclear power plants (!) interactive.carbonbr... 2/5

The road to Gilead ….

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

Are you telling me that AI can summarise a 1,000 page document, write a complex legal letter and create an image of Trump as Jesus *in less than 5 seconds* BUT it cannot prevent this kind of shit from happening? This has got to stop. news.sky.com/video/skys-c...

No time for sleep. He is way too busy these days managing his biggest sponsors.

Nigel Farage Listens to the News

Protection

threat to democracy = threat to national security MI & MI6 you know what to do.

It’s been a good week for sado-fascism.

A reminder of what Nigel Farage said following the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving police officer.

The Neo-Nazi and Far-Right Coalition that Converged on Southampton Over Henry Nowak’s Murder There were Nazi salutes and 'White Power' chants on the streets of Southampton, after the Reform UK leader called for "pure cold rage" in response to Nowak's death...

Racist politicians whip up racist outrage. Widespread disorder ensues. The courts treat widespread disorder with the severity that they have always treated widespread disorder. Racist politicians cry “two-tier justice”, whipping up racist outrage. Rinse. Repeat. It’s so fucking tedious.

What Reform did today was an incitement to rioting and an insult to a grieving family. This bloke should have hung his goddamn head in shame.

Once again Farage & Tommy Ten Names use a tragic incident to stir up hatred and division. Not one shit given about the grieving family or their wishes. Hateful bastards then pair of them! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is the moment where Starmer should directly pin the blame on Farage and his typically disgusting opportunism. Just say it as it is👊 Police face death threats over Henry Nowak case, Home Secretary reveals amid ‘dangerous undercurrent’ of intimidation www.lbc.co.uk/article/poli...

Clever

BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case! Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social & my colleagues @democracydefendersaction.org & Washington Litigation Group This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption
