Literally joking to the uni labour gc about this not two hours ago and he just....POSTS IT

I have had to pop over to X to stop you posting that bloody Guardian screenshot about Starmer

Not sure if there’s ever been a list of ‘worst political briefings of all time’ but what has come out of No10 this evening is a high new entry

Big week for Robbie Gibb all round.

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

wes streeting repeatedly CTRL-Fing "Starmer" in the emails

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Lauren Boebert,,, welcome to the resistance

A good example of someone using "economically inactive" to mean "available for work but choosing not to" and forgetting it covers students, early retirees, carers, severely disabled people, parents with very young children etc...

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

“would you like photos of donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen?” -Jeffrey Epstein

Why not ye prat it's your job!!!!

Congratulations to @JoshBabarinde.bsky.social - newly elected President of the Liberal Democrats.

20 seconds of hercule purrot sucking on his tail to bless your timeline

This is deeply embaressing

WASPI women…Wes Streeting….you come to me on the day of Jane Goodall’s funeral?

If you want to be really devious about this, Wes Streeting is about to sack a load of backroom NHS staff before heading into winter crisis season & a lot of NHS dashboard lights are flashing red. He’s probably not about to get more popular with Labour members, put it that way.

For those of you curious about the cluster fuck that has been the Lib Dem internal committee and Presidential elections: the Returning Officer has now resigned on the morning of the count Lmao

Lots of stuff here that you won't read in most of the legacy media which seems completely uninterested in the backgrounds, associations and possible motivations of those behind the BBC crisis. Why was the BBC having its homework marked by a lobbyist who hasn't worked as a journalist for 20 years?

Why would you, an ally of the PM, highlight that he is somewhat flighty and has considered resigning in the face of smaller issues?

My phone dies for one evening, and they start couping the PM???

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I'm a soft unionist & agree with this, I think. I don't like the SNP for a bunch of reasons, but come on, they've been governing for near two decades. They're not trying to ferry away aircraft carriers to Russia. You can call your opponents worse on national security without calling them a threat

team of rivals (appoint sliwa to be rat czar)

I've not been on here in a bit but I have two questions for my brilliant followers: 1) how are the US elections going? 2) did they actually put Powell in the political cabinet? Has she been snubbed? How's all that going? Hope you're all well

Are you fucking kidding?

Please see below my article for Lib Dem Voice titled 'Have we forgotten what we stand for?'. In it I talk about why so many young and diverse members feel disillusionment with the party and what I believe needs to change. www.libdemvoice.org/have-we-forg...

It is truly insane the lengths that the Lib Dems will go to piss off their own members and drive them away. No wonder party membership halved

It is simultaneously true that Reform are very likely to make significant advances at the next election and that candidate selection is going to be wild.

One of the freeing things about the fact that it isn't my country is that you can enjoy this story for just how funny it is and how many people are disgracing themselves by saying things like this screengrab.

Average Tory leadership hopeful: we should re-establish the Raj. Let's have a fifth Anglo-Asante war. I do not think that Romanians count as people on a legal or metaphysical level. Labour response: after 14 years of Tory mismanagement only Labour can be trusted to strip Romanians of their souls.

This is definitely one of those things that people would’ve called you hysterical for predicting a year ago. Trump is going to destroy the East Room of the White House without even asking Congress and build a ballroom with funds from private companies that are seeking favors? Settle down, lib.

This is a crucial point And why the ‘stay on X/Twitter so you don’t cede the public square’ is such a nonsense argument It isn’t Hyde Park, it’s a billionaire controlled algorithm *designed* to spread far right ideologies

Brendan Clarke-Smith - a former government minister and ex-Tory MP for Bassetlaw - regrets that the journalist was asked to apologise for suggesting the British-born Muslim leftwing MP be deported (along with "Zarahs" in general). Says its "faux outrage" to object to deporting minorities/opponents

new "self-driving by the end of the year" just dropped

It took less than three episodes before they were invaded by holodeck lobsters.

Generative AI presents a huge challenge to democratic politics in creation of disinformation - but there also needs to be focus on the platforms that enable and encourage the spread of this disinformation. Politicians should condemn disinformation in all its forms.

>saw a guy wearing a NATO flag at the DC protest

Zohran Mamdani is a trained performer who has an extremely disciplined and laser-focused ability to recite on-message talking points in response to any question, and yet voters overwhelming praise him as being especially "authentic" compared to other politicians. There's a lesson here!

I'm just confused by why you'd phrase it like that. Clearly they mean other titles. But why phrase it like that. So much BBC News is so badly written now.
