Honestly, what the hell has Starmer and this Labour government ever done for the UK?

“The current attrition rate of senior figures from the government is running at one a week” - WAIT FOR IT! - “this autumn.” Filed eleven days into autumn. I’m running out of pejoratives for Mason. How can someone this mediocre end up in a position meant for the best political journalist in the UK?

Ireland, Slovenia, Iceland, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal are now all considering boycotting Eurovision unless Israel are removed. Like if they should. RT if Israel should be kicked out

Disgusted to see this beautiful landscape ruined by wind turbines.

“[Maxwell's] willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct, including some of the conduct charged in the Indictment, strongly suggests her true motive has been & remains to avoid being held accountable for her crimes,” prosecutors wrote in a pretrial motion www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Oh SO absolutely this!! 👏👏👏👏

Winner of the internet today comes from Scotland.

Gotta admire Corbyn's relentless ambition. It's not enough to have played his part in delivering Brexit and Boris Johnson, he wants the accomplishment of a Farage premiership before he's done.

A whole LOT worse.

Starmer never promised miracles – that’s the sort of thing Boris Johnson did. But things are improving slowly but surely.

Jeremy Vine using his 10 year old daughter to dodge tax. I'm pretty certain he doesn't want people to know about this. So be good! #Jeremyvine

President Macron, "What is at stake in Europe is the different democratic models amid foreign interference" "Information manipulation" "Domination of minds by negative emotions and addictions to social media" "Being vulnerable to algorithms designed in the US and China"

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

One million blood donors needed to meet demand and avoid 'red alert' shortage, NHS warns news.sky.com/story/one-mi...

Schools will receive an extra £4.5bn a year in this week’s spending review, taking the funding for each pupil in England to its highest-ever level observer.co.uk/news/politic...

The U.K. fishing industry - weaponised & then betrayed & then abandoned, by Johnson, Farage & the rest of them - is better off under Starmer’s deal than it was under Johnson’s. That’s not an opinion. It’s counting. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.

We have had the perfect example this last weekend of why we urgently need to update how we regulate media. The Guardian headline: Government drops health push after ultra-processed food firm lobbying. Loads of Labour bashing results. Yet paragraph 8 tells it happened 2yrs ago under the Tories.

SPRINGSTEEN, on tour in the UK: “.. "In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration." @variety.com variety.com/2025/music/n...

Hugely misleading headline in the Daily Mail. This only applies to Indian workers who are seconded to the UK from a company based in India on a short term basis. India nationals applying for jobs based in the UK will not benefit from this convention and it does not disadvantage UK workers

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

As we mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, the greatest thing you could do to honour those who fought & died is show your support for the European Convention on Human Rights. It was set up after World War 2 to prevent anything like it happening again. Among members, it has so far worked.

After all the histrionics and outrage this is such a balanced and fair view of things. 👏👏 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Finally, the correct tariff formula (from Private Eye)

Absolutely excellent piece of work. Lays it all bare. 👏👏👏

Trouble in Paradise? A Republican, finally growing a pair?! Worms are turning... Senator Rand (or should that be "Rant"?) Paul, in a tirade against Trump's tariffs and anti-democracy power grab. Meanwhile in Britain, patriot Nigel quite fancies a bit of that, please. #FarageIsATraitor

Absolute quality this 👏👏👏

You know what. The ignorant and sycophantic Trump poodles in the US State Department and their half arsed understanding of the world can go fuck themselves. How’s that for a bit of free speech from the UK. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/a...

At last. Not quite the level of funding of London’s Elizabeth Line so hope to see this being just a start and a lot more to come.

When you see Tories whinging about the price of concert tickets, just remember, Badenoch took a £14,300 luxury holiday for her whole family, courtesy of a donor. And what did they get in return? She changed the Tory policy on Net Zero. #ukpolitics

Fabulous thread. Cuts across all the right wing media gaslighting and outright lies against Labour. Much praise fella👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

NEW: Nigel Farage is once again in America to fundraise for Donald Trump’s Republican party, with latest data showing he’s spent more than 800 hours - the equivalent of 2.5 days a week - on outside employment since election.

Has the UK regained its position as the poor man of Europe? www.theneweuropean.co.uk/steve-angles...

Huge threat to UK democracy. Lies and misinformation should carry consequences.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer walks Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to his motorcade after their meeting in Number 10

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Fuck Trump… Slava Ukraini 💪

Repost & like, if you stand with President Zelensky!

Good on Zelensky for refusing to grovel to an idiot and a criminal. Slava Ukraini ❤️

The fragility of these men who need to be publicly thanked and praised for doing what is morally right and personally costs them nothing…

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country. They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

Grist to a rather large mill. 👍

The UK has fully privatised Energy, France fully nationalised.

Whilst the catastrophe unfolds in the US here in the UK we have low poll ratings for Starmer. He’s had a massive character assignation and subject to constant blatant lies by the rabid right wing media that dominate in the UK. We need to be careful not to fall into the same rabbit hole as the US
