Royal "lodge" makes Andrew Windsor's home sound bijou. In fact, it has THIRTY rooms. How on Earth can he afford the rent? Charles cut off his £1million pa "pocket money" last year, and he doesn't have another job.

I do as well.

Chicago - no kings

Hey @zackpolanski.bsky.social I hear you are talking to Laura Kuenssberg tomorrow morning? Can you ask her why this story is being exposed by a 3-week-old-old outlet @thenerve.news & not the BBC?? 🤔

Getting ready to speak at the No Kings rally in DC today, the rally for democracy and freedom, alongside Bill Nye, Bernie Sanders and many other great speakers. Could be the biggest protest in modern American history.

Today’s No Kings protests could be the biggest in US history. I’ll be speaking in front of tens of thousands here in Washington DC onstage alongside Senators Bernie Sanders and Chris Murphy, and Bill Nye and others. Watch the livestream from 12pm ET: www.youtube.com/live/raD5GuV...

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

In the speech he goes on to argue that Putin is in fact our friend, whereas he means Putin is his friend specifically. youtu.be/UB7qVdZk9ek?...

I've had the pleasure of being interviewed by Mishal Husain three times. One of the most intelligent and accomplished people I've ever met. Here's Nigel Farage trying to shut her down with the words "Listen, love ..." like it was still the 1970s. I'd say it was unbelievable, only it isn't.

Tomorrow I'll be on Laura Kuenssberg. Will I be able to say "I can announce the Green Party have just overtaken the Tories in members!"? It's tantalisingly close to happening! Join.greenparty.org.uk

Would be nice to have a Government that doesn't take its instruction from the Sun, the Daily Mail and the Telegraph.

If you are voting for Nigel Farage you are voting for No Healthcare, No Retirement, No Voting, a US Slave State that will be one of the worst in the world. And if you try to rebel it will be the US Army that crushes you. To defend all their UK assets Farage has sold them.

I see Nigel Farage is back to claiming he "predicted" the war between Russia and Ukraine in the EU Parliament, when in fact he spoke AFTER the annexation of Crimea, to defend Russia and claim it was all the EU's fault. I did a full fact-check, with clips, here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/f...

went to check in on this freak out of curiosity and, far from being a random, she's followed by lots of MPs current and former, journalists, think tankers, etc - once again! I feel like I'm losing my entire mind!

When was the last time you heard a politician in the media asked anything like- -How will you make sure asylum seekers can reach the UK safely & refugees are protected? -How will you make sure people coming to this country to work or study are treated equally & with respect? I cannot remember.

Hideous.

X allows this. And politicians, journalists and organisations stay on there, thinking they have a valid platform but really, they’re just normalising the racist radicalisation of our politics.

It's apparently perfectly fine for senior political journalists to call for the deportation of British Muslim politicians now, with zero consequences

There may not be obvious parallels with Jan 6th, conduct-wise, but the message is identical: laws are to be abused in pursuit of Trump’s foes & ignored in relation to his allies. He is telling his base that they can commit crimes with impunity. Fascism 101.

Well this is a proper head scratcher. But yeah, fiddling around with tax and getting rid of consumer protections should sort it. Wonder what those ‘former chancellors and prime ministers’ had to say about this shitshow. Any mention of Brexit at all?? (Times and Private Eye)

Jenrick was seven at the end of the 1980s. All he'll remember from the decade are tiny fragments and more to the point those memories will be highly unreliable - to the point of fiction.

‘D’oh’ might be more appropriate. This is what happens when you vote on ‘feelz’ and allow prejudice to override facts. Nothing good ever comes of it. Would be nice if we could stop doing that shit now.

Yes. You and Anna… and so many of us are on the same page. What a lying shitbag liability he is.

We do. She doesn’t post regularly on here. It would be much better if all decent politicians had an active presence on Bluesky, rather than on the anti-democratic hellpit that is X.

I know how the media works. The whole China kerfuffle is being bigged up to avoid the bigger picture about Russia. China is not a friend. On the other hand, it hasn't launched the biggest land war in Europe for 80 years with well over a million casualties so far

The Hate America Rally already happened, Mike Johnson. It was held on January 6, 2021, and was orchestrated by your boss. On October 18, patriots across America will honor our commitment to keep America from becoming the dystopic jackboot dictatorship you fascist bootlickers dream of and drool for.

Reform UK, backing US farming. Lee Anderson doesn’t understand British farming. He’s keen to point out salads are chlorine washed, but he’s not keen to point out that you don’t need to with chicken you can cook chicken so long as it’s reared in reasonable conditions. But you can’t cook salad.

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

Football hooliganism was just "good-natured fun" says Robert Jenrick

Virginia Giuffre's memoir will be published on 21 October. The excerpts I've read are bad enough. He knows what's coming.

I thought this was a parody when I saw it earlier but this is actually how the White House responded to questions from journalists about Trump's planned meeting with Putin

“Having called Putin the leader he most admired and with his close associate, former Reform Leader in Wales.. taking bribes to praise Russia, Nigel Farage is now panicking and desperately trying to backtrack” @annaturley.bsky.social calls it exactly as it is. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/nigel-...

We’re being asked by half the media & politicians to swallow the idea that known racist football hooligans should be allowed to rampage through our cities for NO OTHER REASON than that they happen to be Israeli. Fuck. That.

Another Reform UK Councillor resigns from Derbyshire Council… Councillor Jack Bradley, Long Eaton North has resigned for ‘personal reasons’.

Former Corby Reform councillor Robert Bloom charged over racism www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/courts/...

Yeah, if Keir Starmer enables violence by hooligans, including attacks on local property or people, that'll do wonders for his popularity.

How has the government got itself into the position of standing up for Israeli football hooligans, while criminalising peaceful supporters of Palestine Action?

This lady is a national hero.

Given how much the China spy case has dominated headlines, it really does beg the question: why is our political-media class so uninterested in Nathan Gill, his Russian bribes, his once close associate Nigel Farage, and Reform UK? Our new Byline Times edition investigates what the media won't 👇

Started Going

Another stonker of a week for us - gaining from the Conservatives and the Green Party in Surrey and from Labour in Preston. The media might not tell you this but the Liberal Democrats are winning all over the place. This week's by-election scorecard 💪 Lib Dems 7 Reform 1 Con 1 Ind 1

Labour are total wankers for bailing on this rather excellent idea imo www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Nigel Farage now says that any suggestion he's been soft on Putin is "just nonsense". Here's a quick reminder of what he's said in the past

For the love of God just make your mind up whether migrants should be speaking English or not www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🚨🚨As the 10th anniversary looms of the #brexit vote, senior ministers in the Labour Party are going studs up — daring to pin the UK’s sluggish economic performance on the decision to leave the EU. Great piece on Labour's more aggressive but still ambivalent strategy. www.politico.eu/article/labo...

"The darkness we face requires a joyful fighter." Challenging the right requires us to grow our international movement. I sat down with El Pais. 👇🏼 elpais.com/eps/2025-10-...

Zack Polanski says some Labour MPs have spoken to him about defecting, and that he's also talking to Zohran Mamdani's team in NY

This is beautiful @zackpolanski.bsky.social
