Sometimes I hate this website.

Farage is claiming once again he's the most attacked public figure of recent times. I can think of two MP's who sadly aren't here to disagree with his assessment.

Is any of this Farage sob story actually true?

"I have concepts of a plan"

Did he have a problem when the Pope editorialised peoples sex lives?

"I am not a crook" I thought that money was for security Nige, try and keep your story straight.

Starmer's message to cabinet seems to be that they haven't followed proper process for a leadership contest and as such he's remaining PM.

Starmer's not beating the charge he can't pivot from campaign mode to governing.

Do you think he meant "without equivocation"? Kinda ironic considering the content.

Matt Vickers is giving a shocker of a performance on #newsnight, but at least he's not still calling people "paedopals".

I'm increasing convinced Starmer took on the Labour leadership to rebuild the party before stepping down a few years later, and has become Prime Minister by mistake.

Pulp Christian.

Momentarily thought I'd accidentally opened Pornhub.

I thought it was a coat hanger.

"He's a low IQ, nasty Pope. Some people are saying he's the worst Pope of all time. Worse than Pope Palpatine."

Choose life.

I'm still of the opinion that people worried Trump might nuke Iran are wrong, but less so than I was 5 minutes ago.

I hope they end up arming the rebellion that topples them.

The Iranians running the country would rather martyr themselves than surrender, at this point regime change is probably the most viable option to end this.

Some hits, a fair amount of decent, a few OK's and some bad misses, but it finished on "WHAT KIND OF IRISH IS YOU'RE GRANDAD!?" so worth a series link imo. #SNLUK

High end mediocre, verging on good. Has potential. #SNLUK

"In a meritocracy… Black people would disappear from virtually all high-ranking positions, with the exception of sports and entertainment" Racism is ok if you do it "academically", because reasons.

"I broke it, you bought it"

Chat GPT level analysis.

Should the UK have animals on its banknotes? Yes. Should the UK also have historical figures on its banknotes? Yes.

A lot of people want to know the story with Trumps hand, my cousin is an intern for a senior Republican and told me this exclusively: In the White House vault is a monkey's paw reserved for the direst emergency. Trump grabbed it and used the single remaining wish to demanded his own monkey paw.

After these comments he launched into a 15 minute wax lyrical about his big beautiful ballroom.

I've heard Rupert Lowe being referenced positively on a couple of right wing-ish podcasts and YouTube channels I keep tabs on. None of them football related or even UK based. It does very much feel it's time to make Twitter accountable for the posts their algorithm publishes into your feed.

Bay of Pigheads.

Wrong, as usual. They said: "That may have been the stupidest somebody we ever gave an invitation to."

White and Right? Packing heat tonight. Black or Left? Families bereft.

Gaslightception.

That sound you're hearing is 84 years worth of goodwill towards America boiling away.

Much like Trump seemingly confusing the insurrection act with martial law last night (suspension of habeas corpus) I'm not so sure saying Iceland when he meant Greenland came totally out of the blue. It's entirely possible these things are actively discussed behind closed doors.

A good thing about Donald Trump is that he's given me a crash course in signs to watch out for in my elderly relatives.

Trump asks the room, "Marc, are you here?", as he segues into the séance portion of his Davos address.

I still don't understand why Mauritius has has any real claim to the Chagos Islands. They were only ever grouped together for ease of administration and the displaced Chagossians want the right of self-determination.

Why is there a jar of piss on the table?

If I leave this burning building then the fire wins.

You can watch the video, see where this officer likely came into the drivers eyeline and view her reaction as being in the belief his phone was a gun. Give these goons bodycams and actual training already.

"Vice President Vance, why are you asking Americans to ignore the evidence of their eyes and ears when there's video of the incident and do you have any evidence supporting your claims about Renee Good?" Questions the press pool will not ask.

If you were here for the endless witch hunts, harassment and bullying campaigns which dominated early Bluesky this makes complete sense. Thankfully the newer users mean that that behaviour's been diluted out of my timeline.

A Republic, if you can keep it.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to note the similarity of using US special forces to extract Maduro with the opening of the movie Air Force One.

I doubt it needs to be said on here, but America is not more respected than ever before. America has lost a huge amount of respect around the world, respect it will never get back.

The Rubio is perfect for your Secretary of State needs. Taking up little room this space efficient diplomat, pictured charging on standby, will monitor for international incidents 24/7.

It's really not a good look for various news outlets to be reporting differing amounts of damages in the Trump/BBC lawsuit. Is it $5 or $10 billion? What's the reason for the discrepancy?

Last time I watched #politicslive the Reform spokesperson loudly talked over the other guests and was not reined in by the host. Today the (ex-Tory) Reform spokesperson is doing the same. My assessment that a once OKish politics show is now unwatchable remains unchanged. Thanks Robbie.
