If McSweeney and Mandelson take Starmer with them, it's only fair because he should have appointed neither. It was poor judgment, both times, and the selection of the right people for his administration is part of his job.

"Generation from wind power in Great Britain reach record levels for the first quarter of 2026, with almost 30 Terrawatt-hours (TWh) produced." www.edie.net/wind-generat...

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened. Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah. (h/t @iainsol.bsky.social)

We need closer relations with the EU to improve the UK economy. 🇪🇺 "The damage to the economy dwarfs the upsides from the various non-EU trade deals the UK has struck since 2016." https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/apr/19/labour-approach-closer-eu-ties-address-damage-of-brexit

👀🇪🇺 "The Mail may have been expecting its own readers to back Brexit, however early indications of the poll put 73% of respondents as saying Britain should rejoin the EU because it’s better for the economy. "As time went on, this number grew to 84%."

"The photographer is real," say scrupulously honest Reform. In which case, their supporters have 6 fingers, can perform levitation, and are campaigning to "Get Stuppence Out." Stick to tax evasion, Tice. You're absolutely nailing that. www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

Notable that a bunch of the shits now calling out Starmer were quite keen on the appointment of Mandelson. Most of the rest of us who are calling him out were *also* saying Mandelson's appointment was a disastrous idea *at the time*.

Peter Mandelson given access to top secret intelligence The former British ambassador to the US was privy to information that if leaked would present a security risk www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

"The original sin was the hubris of thinking that Mandelson was the right person for that job. The latter movement by Starmer, to fire Olly Robbins, is jaw-dropping." Civil servants are SEETHING after "slippery" Starmer threw Robbins - who did what was asked - under the bus.

Richard Tice said Angela Rayner should resign “if she had any moral decency” She did resign. His tax dodging is far bigger than hers. He hasn’t resigned. We can therefore conclude that even he admits he has no moral decency (something the rest of us already knew)

'Canada's economic ties with U.S. are a weakness that must be corrected.' Canadian PM Mark Carney. Very sound advice.

This really is the only answer. Our dependence on fossil fuels must end. For our planet, and for our society.

Wait a minute, is this the same Richard Tice who repeatedly called for Angela Rayner to resign over her dubious tax shenanigans? Surely not, because that would make him look like a hypocritical wanker. Oh.

This is simply not true. Labour didn’t have to go right. They *chose* to go right. The big majority was a chance to reset everything back to sanity. Starmer chose the mad, bigoted, ignorant and dishonest route instead.

An investigation from the Sunday Times has alleged Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax on shell companies.

In "bears crap in the woods" news.

Voting Reform is the equivalent of voting twice for Trump. It is an act of pure ignorance, or racism, or both. And, as we all know, it leads nowhere good. Please god UK. Do not let that happen. Learn from our mistakes. Learn from America’s mistakes. Just get your shit together.

“I was brainwashed by Nigel Farage.” We asked people in East Wiltshire, the constituency of Danny Kruger, if Brexit was a mistake. Here's what they said. ⬇️ Write to your local paper to show it is time to talk about EU membership: https://www.bestforbritain.org/write_to_paper_eu_membership

The difference between Richard Tice and Angela Rayner is that Tice knew exactly what he was doing. Rayner was in completely uncharted waters relying on the wisdom of others.

NEW: Downing Street is attempting to demolish the argument from Olly Robbins’ allies that he was prevented by law from telling ministers that Mandelson had failed vetting, ahead of key Commons statement on Monday.

It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.

Richard Tice deputy leader of Reform ran four shell companies which did not pay any tax on profits between 2020 and 2022. He's now offering to "put things right". Go on then Richard - resign. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK. First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.

Don’t let our young ppl have opportunities. They might just see what the Tories destroyed for them. Insane.

Satire is dead, it cannot compete with the news cycle!

BBC today correct Nigel Farage's false claim to Nick Robinson on Political Thinking (13th February 2026) that net migration was only down due to an "exodus" of people leaving the UK since 90% of net migration fall was a fall in immigration. After my 3rd complaint! www.bbc.co.uk/helpandfeedb...

Wes Streeting is keeping Palantir's secrets. So we're taking him to court.

Peter Mandelson failed vetting but Foreign Office overruled decision. Keir Starmer had by then announced he would be making Mandelson the UK’s chief diplomat in Washington. Why has Starmer been sillent about this? Serious questions about his judgment.

TODAY MPs WILL VOTE ON A VAST EXPANSION OF ANTI-PROTEST POWERS Where is UK media?

It’s just missing his U.K. cheerleader. I’ve taken the liberty of adding him.

The world cannot remain on tenterhooks every time Trump takes to social media - the UK government has rightly said no to his demands and today I urged the Prime Minister to demand an end to Israeli settler violence on the West Bank if we are ever to achieve peace in the Middle East.
