www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j... More treachery from the British right wing!

Hypocrite doesn’t come close. He is such a fucking parasite…

No word from Mason, he’s still following up a report that Lammy drove through an amber light in 1992

This should be the end of Farage but the media will protect him.

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage has breached the MP’s code of conduct 17 times by failing to register interests on time

Farage can thank himself lucky he’s not a working class woman with a northern accent, otherwise the media would be hounding him out…

BBC gently throwing Farage a gentle dolly with this down page press release vomit. Wondering if Angela Rayner had committed similar offences how hysterical Mason, Zeffman would be. Answer? Very.

Benjamin Netanyahu has joined the 'Peace Board' for Gaza, which doesn't have a single Palestinian on it. But does now have the man who has killed 680,000 Palestinians and wants to ethnically cleanse the place so he can 'build las vegas on the Med'.

Remember when the US polity ruptured and erupted when Biden got names wrong on set-piece occasions? That was nothing compared with Trump’s Davos speech.

This arsehole has a short memory. When the US were under attack in 2001, all of NATO came to their aid. And now he has the bard faced cheek to question other NATO members commitment when he is doing everything to undermine this group. Where is Congress in all of this?

folks, this is some really weird shit. the president is not well.

Live footage of me, listening to Gavin Newsom, a senior member of the party that screwed the last election and is still failing to provide any meaningful opposition, not to mention a citizen of the country who voted for this shambles, telling Europeans we are pathetic for not standing up to Trump.

you know how conservatives only think bad things are real when it happens to them (megyn kelly suddenly discovering maternity leave when she had kids, etc)? they’re now triggering that but for cops

(I notice it a lot because, as mentioned before, American sports fans are way ahead of the British in adopting Bluesky. My timeline is swamped with 'when will the Chipmunks learn what a top tier QB looks like!' I do watch NFL and baseball so it's fine but where are all *our* football fans?)

Good lord he can't even get the details on Trident right ─ the warheads are British produced, it's the missiles that are the problem because they are American.

Opening words of the King John Ladybird book.

Again a BBC News report which skips Trump's cognitive decline. No mention he published a text from Macron, no mention of him looking at a map of Canada and Greenland under US control. His clear lack of grip is a no-go area for them. It's ALL about the perceived humiliation of Starmer. #wato

22 May 2025 Today, the United States welcomed the historic agreement between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Mauritius... We commend both the United Kingdom and Mauritius... commitment to ensure that Diego Garcia remains fully operational for the duration of this agreement. #WATO

It does not help that at this week’s World Economic Forum in Davos, the organizers and attendees are scrambling to fit their messages to Trump’s pinhead fever-dream worldview. www.thedailybeast.com/now-is-the-t...

There are many surreal things about Donald Trump suddenly turning geopolitics into influencer drama by publishing world leaders’ DMs – but one standout is Trump truly doesn’t understand flattery might be insincere or tactical. It just works on him. He’s that easy.

The UK is not currently planning to join Trump’s “Board of Peace”, Bloomberg reports. Starmer is concerned by Trump’s decision to invite Putin and Lukashenko. His spokesperson says the UK commitment to the UN is “unwavering”. The Board of Peace is on its way to being the Board of Dictators.

Well done Vauxhall

When I was 11 we had an old Vauxhall Cavalier and I proclaimed it was my favourite car we'd ever had and it turned out it was coz, 30 years ago, I could just tell they were sound, man.

Top three stories on the BBC website. Brits have got to wake up, or be shaken out of their torpor, pretty damn quick. They seem to have no idea how bad this could go.

Why is Donald Trump changing his mind every five minutes and saying completely mad stuff an embarrassment for Keir Starmer? It feels like it should chiefly be seen as an embarrassment for the United States.

(Side point but Im genuinely amazed the Greens, who have been very good strategically recently, have decided to make now the point to do a big intervention of defense... and that this has been their choice. Talk about exposing your stern to be raked)

Another example of the political opportunity Starmer misses by failing to explain to voters what is going on with Trump no longer being our ally and friend. Also, frankly, not only a political opportunity but a national imperative. Voters need to know these people don't have their backs.

Trump endorsed and signed the deal himself. He's lying about it now to make up some reasons why he should annexe territory of a fellow NATO ally. Badenoch absolutely should not be saying 'he's right about that bit'. Shows how conflicted the Tories are about Trump.

Right now this idea is absolutely bonkers.

Leaving NATO at a time like this would be absolutely nuts.

I see the 'patriotic parties' are now leaping to the defence of the man currently threatening to impose economic sanctions on our country, while seizing the European territory of our neighbours and allies

Britain isn't broken. You just hate multiculturalism and wish we were living in shitty 1942. Be honest.

publicly announcing that you think the norwegian prime minister personally hands out the nobel peace prize really ought to be the thing that gets you 25th’d, but apparently it’s on europe to deal with america’s sundowning grandpa

Getting a little fed up of all the American Trump opponents accounts on here virtue signalling their dislike of the lunatic leader while singularly failing to do anything meaningful about it.

I'm also old enough to remember all those who told us Trump would make the world more stable. One year in, he's threatening to destroy an eight decade security alliance, the pillar of Western stability, over not getting an award.

Trade wars are about causing and enduring pain. The US can do the former, but the public has absolutely no appetite for the latter over an issue as clearly invented as Greenland. This is the kind of stunt you can try at 58% Presidential approval and on an issue the public supports. This ain't it.

The AFCON final reminded me of when there's a fight in a rugby league game and the commentators say, "we don't want to see this in our game", when really it's exactly what people want to see.

We've spent ten years being proved right about all the things the loudest, biggest voices in the UK media insisted, often obnoxiously, we were wrong about. The real kicker is that there's no consolation whatsoever in being correct. Brexit, Putin, Johnson, Truss, Trump, Twitter, Netanyahu etc etc...

I don't know how it's fixed because Brexit has become a de facto religion and going back in or holding a 'rejoin' referendum would just stir up a whole load of shit and turmoil - but the UK needs to realign with Europe on every front as quickly as possible.

After careful consideration, we accepted Andrew Rosindell into Reform on the strength of his record of voting against LGBT rights, including same sex marriage and scrapping section 28. Reform needs more homophobes.

The UK was better off in the EU and Europe was better off with the UK in it. All of this Trump driven chaos underlines that and you can practically hear Putin rubbing his hands in Moscow. WE have deliberately weakened ourselves, our security and our region for absolutely no good purpose at all.

This is a huge problem: humans are not wired to cope with this daily torrent of disgust & dismay. It's exhausting & unbalancing. It's tempting just to switch off the news. But that surrenders the political arena - & the lives of all those it affects - to the hooligans & vandals who are trashing it.

Who looks at Trump’s chaos and dangerous stupidity and goes, "Oh yeah, that's great! I'll absolutely attach myself to that!" When Nigel Farage is calling in sick and even fantasy hiker Dan Hannan is distancing himself from this absurd madman, you know MAGA and its uk acolytes are in trouble.

Reform's opponents need to keep punching this bruise. It's a real problem for a would-be nationalist leader when they start looking like the lapdog of a hostile power. This did a lot of damage to Oswald Mosley in the 1930s, and it could become a serious issue for Farage.
