Running against Mussolini by agreeing with him on everything except the org-chart of his proposed train reform taskforce.

One question for Farage. What nationality is your girlfriend/partner? It'd be good if a journalist would ask him this.

Apparently, it’s socially unacceptable to compare anyone or anything to Hitler. Mention Hitler, and you’ll be shouted down with a chorus of “Godwin’s Law”. Well sod that. Until we start comparing Trump to Hitler, we’re unprepared for what is barrelling towards us. 🧵1/4

Proud to contribute frontline testimony to tonight's enraging @itvx.com documentary "The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money". Boris Johnson's govt squandered £8.7 billion on unusable PPE, while grifters like Michelle Mone made millions. Tonight, 10.15pm, ITV1. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Back in late 70's/early 80's I ran a mobile disco and DJ'd all over the West of Scotland. While clearing cupboards for a house move I found a load of Pegasus old Schweppes crates of singles. So many memories....

Anyone remember this? #Subbuteo #tabletopfootball #Memories.

I'm a Nationwide account holder. Have been for years. Time for account holders to get active. Last time I looked the Nationwide was still a mutual member owned bank. Time we all let Mr Parry know we do not approve of consorting with fascists.

Seriously friends, Liston to this man. youtube.com/shorts/TIBkE...

Reminder: ISRAEL IS EVIL. and any and all politicians who could stop this genocide and slaughter after equally evil. Looking at you Trump, and at you Starmer.

'Our culture is being shut down and our environment is being ripped up. Our MP has a constituency the size of a European country; our Lib Dem MP is an apologist for the establishment; and our councillors are told nothing.' George Gunn, via @bellacaledonia.bsky.social

He finally got his revenge against the man who asked him if he was up past his jail time. Now it's up to us to ask why he's terrified to release #TheEPSTEIN_PedoFiles. #StandWithTheSurvivors

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

In @nytopinion “Trump is the first president in our history to invert Lincoln: He speaks with malice toward all and charity for none,” Bret Stephens tells Frank Bruni. “He makes Nixon look like Churchill.”

All the news media discussion in the UK of the success or not of EU or UK summits with Trump needs to do a lot more to connect destabilisation in US domestic politics with the question of how far Trump or the US as a whole can be relied on to honour agreements with other states

Labour are telling lies "Government doubles down on £100 billion water nationalisation price tag – but are they coming clean on the true cost of publicly owned water?" 'The current cost is based on a discredited report funded by the private water companies.' leftfootforward.org/2025/09/gove...

Glad that Gov. Gavin Newsom is up for the fight and understands the danger.

I wish people understood the theatrical principles of emotional preparation, foreshadowing, and dramatic anticipation. If this is you, four years from a GE, what pitch and volume do you hope to reach in 2029 when you finally announce, to absolutely nobody's surprise, you are endorsing another party?

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

TV shows cancelled, people sacked or put on black lists... all for daring to speak the truth about "free speech warrior" Charlie Kirk. America has plunged head first into some very dark territory indeed. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why Maga’s next project is to fix ‘Broken Britain‘. V good analysis.

‘PFI was never about efficiency or innovation, but about ideology. It allowed politicians to shrink the size of the state, hide public debt, and hand profits to the private sector. The public will be paying the bill for decades to come.’ @richardjmurphy.bsky.social

A good point. Language, and the exact words used, are really important. Trump's MAGA are propagandising with their use of words. Their drip drip drip propaganda is normalising different meanings for words. Somehow this needs to be resisted. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

"Channel 4 has vowed to expose the 'untruths' made by Donald Trump during his time in office, as the US President embarks on his State Visit to the UK" www.dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/ch... www.channel4.com/programmes/t...

I'm sharing it. #EpsteinFiles

Whether it's on the radio, television or at the rally - it's all the same message. Yes - we should have diplomatic relationships with Presidents. No - to state visits for Trump who doesn't in any way reflect our British values. Why are we normalising this man?

This post wins the Internet for today!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Scotland is for all. No exceptions…all welcome* * You have the right to be a bigot…but you’re wrong.

“The ‘true cost in law’ of nationalising the UK water sector is far lower than the government’s figure and is in fact ‘closer to zero’, according to a report from the think tank Common Wealth.” Our briefing with @ewanmg.bsky.social featured in @social.newcivilengineer.com 🔗👇

"Britain is on the cusp of race war, he told me. If that prospect saddened him, it didn’t show. ‘We are talking about inter-ethnic violence.’" I went to Reform UK's conference, for @lrb.co.uk www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Netanyahu and an Israel Without Restraint The annihilation of Gaza City, and the devastation of the families who lived there continues day and night without any hindrance from the one person who could stop the genocide- Donald Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/w...

Why would the DOJ scrub the fact that right-wing extremism is the #1 domestic terror threat in America? Why not acknowledge and confront it? Also why haven't they released the Epstein Files? Also why did Ghislaine Maxwell get a sweetheart deal transfer? These problems won't go away.

If you're in London today, then there's plenty of opportunities to show Mr Trump that he's not welcome. If you miss the march, then come along to the rally in Parliament Square at 5 instead and make some noise.

Just merged Thomas Piketty and Raj Chetty into one person in my head in preparing for a lecture on inequality, and was very confused when a search "Raj Piketty" didn't turn up the results I expected. Anyway here's income inequality in the US over time from Piketty, I think it's very relevant.

Brexit is the toxic epicentre of the political shitshow we now have to endure. It promoted idiocy and deceit, endorsed racism, divided us, made us poorer, weaker, less safe and less sane. It’s belittled the country, killed the Tory party and given birth to Reform. A relentless klaxon of failure.

It is really REALLY important that Americans make an effort to collectively break out of their denial about living in a Russian puppet state under a Russian puppet regime now. I know it is more convenient to remain in denial but it WILL make things worse. By and large.

Once again @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social have knocked it out the park. All about the imminent arrival of the american tyrant 🙂🙂⬇️ youtu.be/1Iag4yaozis?...

#Bettertogether was based on demonstrable lies. Wake up, Scotland.

I fear that the corporate media and the trump regime have successfully tricked the world into thinking the Kirk shooter was "antifa" and "LGBTQ". A devastating failure by the fourth estate.

There's an update from SALVO / Liberation camp on the case before the UN Special Committee on Decolonisation. Meeting to be held in Geneva this week. There's a lot of information linked to this article if you want to find out more www.thenational.scot/politics/254...

The USA are now at the point where they're just casually murdering people in international waters and expecting the entire world to take them at their word when they say the charred wreckage contained drug runners. (Who, in any case, should be entitled to a trial, not summary execution.)

One of the greats has passed. Robert Redford was a celebrated actor, director, and someone who held a mirror up to America. His work will live on, but we Ordinary People will feel The Sting of his loss for years. Rest among the stars now, and when you see heaven, may a River Run Through It.
