Farage has wet dreams where days after his glorious election he’ll be renaming the flip out of everything. “The Nigel Farage Albert Hall” perhaps, or “The Ann Widdecombe Mersey Tunnel”.

The Trump Doctrine is, essentially: “Who’s gonna stop you?”

This is the answer not just to Naomi's bullshit story, but all the bullshit stories.

Honestly that fuckin kid is such a badass

congrats to every "moderate" who cheered on this cruel, unfounded panic. hope you got what you wanted www.npr.org/sections/sho...

The issue is not that we don't talk to each other. It's that some people think that "talking" means getting to debate your existence, and that's abusive and controlling.

A rare and welcome case of actual consequences for posting extreme racist, antisemitic, language online and in person. Hope the sentences are solid and reflect just how horrifying these two racists are. www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinbur...

Three days ago Starmer was arguing that the UK shouldn’t think about rejoining the EU because it would unpick all these great US trade deals.

“No less an authority than the United Kingdom’s former Prime Minister, Liz Truss”

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

Wake Up Babe! The new metaphor for everything just dropped.

I know the shameless hypocrisy is the whole point but seeing maybe one of the single most socially conservative MPs currently in the House of Commons welcome a pornstar into his party isn't not making me feel fucking mental

"This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories." --Former Fox "News" host Pete Hegseth

‘I preferred your earlier funny movies’

Stephen Flynn criticises Nigel Farage from attacking children who speak more than one language #BBCQT "A man who aspires to be PM of these isle would pick a fight with school kids, would hold school kids up as an object to beat, absolutely repulses me and it should repulse all of you as well"

So, "victory" is now "verdict". Even for transphobe readers, are their memories that short?

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

"I want to protect the women of our country." – Donald Trump, Oct. 2024

So we've gone from "he never said anything Nazi" to "well he might have said something Nazi but not in a hurtful way" to "well okay he probably did say something Nazi in a hurtful way, but didn't we all?"

It doesn't matter what Labour do, and they have to know that, which means they want to do the stuff they are doing

No one has time to read all that but sorry to hear about the syphilitic brain rot or whatever.

“now let me tell you all about my gilded ballroom, temu versailles”

Boris Johnson thinks wheelchairs have two wheels. Good to know he’s been back but eh US though, presumably receiving more instructions written on the back of a brown envelope full of dodgy dollars.

They keep testing my brain because it's working so well. I'm constantly having my brain tested

Not sure whether you can call them "unintended consequences" when they are so obvious. Changes to settlement routes add whole new layers of bureaucracy, which means more people waiting, especially when some people are waiting years on an initial claim as it is. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Trump Appears To Doze During Stroke

Other than how NHS Fife have treated her, Peggie has lost fairly comprehensively but it doesn’t matter because the GC groups and the British press will spin it as a win and somehow us British trans women will end up suffering more as a result and it’ll be maddening.

Seems that Maya Forstater has had a Helen Joyce style slap down about her “expertise” and has totally shat the bed with the evidence she submitted, which is intensely gratifying.

And will they enforce this? By their suggested failproof method of how someone looks?!

Particular congratulations to women and gay men who are merrily pushing us towards a point where we get pushed out of public life. Anyone celebrating this is scum. “Trans women will not be allowed to attend main Labour Women's Conference events” www.bbc.com/news/article...

wow who was he up against

All in one day: Immigration Minister lied about me with a slur. Wes Streeting then tried a different attack. And the Evening Standard write yet another attack piece because I dare to say we need to tax the rich. Want to help create our better future? Join.greenparty.org.uk

Me when I’ve unloaded the dishwasher yet again.

A suitably bleak and tacky trophy to mark a prize made-up as a sop for an autocrat to stop him causing problems for a an event organised by the corrupt organisation that made up the prize.

I don’t think the “Burning question of immigration” has ever crossed my mind. Maybe I’m the odd one out?

Israeli President makes surprising last minute case for barring Israel from the #Eurovision.

Nigel’s mob will love this one.

An excellent piece by Yasmin Khan in @theguardian.com – and I’m very relieved the preposterous case against her has been dropped. www.theguardian.com/food/comment...

There will come a point where Farage realises he needs non-dregs defectors to look vaguely respectable and Tory frontbenchers realise a pact is the only way they get to carry on being MPs. Then there will be deal.

These evil, spiteful ghouls thought they’d score an awesome Supreme Court victory and then society would salute their bravery, and rise up to enforce their fucknut politics. That hasn’t happened and it won’t happen, so now society will be *forced* to comply in a blizzard of squillionaire litigation.

Why don’t the government act against this? Because their entire philosophy is based on giving our horrific press what they want and siding with powerful, wealthy people to stomp upon troublemakers. Their strategy on culture war matters was always total capitulation and cooperation across the board.

For non-Brits: nobody can afford to get sued by revved-up wingnuts and crackpots armed with JK Rowling’s money, and nobody wants to be the next organisation protested by the far right and monstered into the heart of the earth by the world’s most poisonous media outlets. So they are folding.

Lying in politics is wrong and should never be rewarded, says newspaper which pays Boris Johnson £1 million a year to be its star columnist

Trump isn't doing anything to lower costs for your family, but he is using the full force of the presidency to make himself and his family very, very, very, very rich.
