This happened a short walk from my home. Old people becoming radicalised by Facebook groups spent months cheering on vandals. This one went further: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

@lbc.co.uk What is that tedious drivel you have chosen to broadcast? I've jus t listened to the utterly pointless description of Trump going indoors, where your reporter can not see him. Are you under some sort of government or commercial instruction to block any risk of criticism of Trump?

Tory anti abortionist defects to Reform Ltd. Hardly surprising Reform have welcomed him, but I heard James O'Brien ask, on LBC, if that would have any effect on Reform Ltd's policy. No, Farage will grift wherever he smells money. Lest we forget observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Remember when Michael Gove told us we had to leave EU because it was “time to fire the unelected elites”?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Bad Enoch, fumbling again "The only black hole is the one the rt hon member is digging...". Nobody digs a black hole, it accumulates matter, dragging in more matter by gravity - in the same way a nation's debt drags in more money in interest payments due to Truss bond disaster

I'm untrusting of people who use phrases like "I voted Remain, but ...", I never trust people who insist they are "not racist, but ...", and, without them presenting an expired party membership card with their name on it, I will never believe "I used to vote Labour, but now I vote Reform Limited".

Going tough on immigration isn’t working. Instead, we must offer real solutions to falling living standards and growing inequality. Some takeaways from the election losses, in the sincere hope that this will be a period of genuine reflection for our party: labourlist.org/2025/05/nadi...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I am listening to PMQ during your show. Starmer easily batted BadEnoch for the first few questions on local councils. Then Bad Enoch thought she scored with reference to "rubbish piling up in the streets" of Birmingham and some other council - Tory boys brayed .

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory I finally agree with Elon on something. How about you?

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

BREAKING: We’re outside Rachel Reeves' big speech announcing support for a third runway at Heathrow to remind her of a basic fact: there’s no growth on a dead planet. 🧵

Since announcing my diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer a few weeks ago I’ve become increasingly aware of how misunderstood the condition is. So I want to debunk a few misconceptions: 1/7 (short posts!)

After the Civil war - Our country should have stump out racist uprising in the states. We still have racist uprising. After WWII - Germany made it a crime to try to bring back nazi propaganda again. the heil salute is illegal in Germany. But Germany has a better free educational system than us now.

If you are a Brexit self-flagellator, and feel the need to repent for how you did or didn’t vote then that’s up to you. But don’t include me and the rest of us in that. I want a successful and prosperous country and that probably means rejoining the EU or making some improvements ASAP.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social hi James I admit I listen to BBC Radio Four in the morning until 10:00. That makes me a regular listener to the Today Programme and this morning they spent a lot of time covering the US presidential inauguration. They did not once mention the full blown Nazi salutes.

Elon Musk, owner of X, tweeted that Home Office Minister Jess Phillips "deserves to be in prison" and labelled her a "rape genocide apologist" This is the type of radicalised content that socialises people towards violence against Ministers and MPs www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/starmer...

A lot of people don’t remember that Jimmy Carter put up solar panels on the roof of the West Wing, promoting clean energy way back in 1979. Reagan immediately took them down in 1980, setting in motion decades of backwards thinking energy policy.

They are all about themselves, greedy and selfish.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. Repost if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Thames Water bosses divert ‘cash for cleanups’ to pay bonuses. 🤯 There is no limit to the greed of privatised water companies. 💸 Regulation has failed. Government must take water into public ownership to protect people and planet.🌍 #ThamesWater www.theguardian.com/business/202...

We cannot separate what has happened to working people over the last five decades from the dangerous lure of Trumpism. To build a path forward, we must debunk these 10 destructive myths about our rigged economy. Watch here:

As we’re all sitting in the wreckage of what happened last time govt was fearful of Farage, Labour must wise up. Thinking you can cajole this hideous man into not having a massive tantrum is naive in the extreme. Let him howl and do right by the rest of us. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

David Black, chief doormat at OffWat, intends to punish Thames by ... er ... allowing Thames another inflation busting price rise. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social perhaps this is a "mystery hour" question, but following Offwat's latest price rise that follows water companies paying out huge bonuses to those who have overseen poor performance and habitual sewage "spills" - how has water privatisation benefited the consumer?

Private healthcare is lobbying Wes Streeting to sign a new PFI deal with them. Time is running out to ask Wes Streeting to say NO. Please add your name to this petition now. #NoNewPFI weownit.org.uk/act-now/tell...

Thames Water is trying to sneak a bailout past customers before Christmas. It'll cost 800 MILLION in fees and interest. 90% of the world runs water in public hands: we can do the same here. Add your name here adn demand permanent public ownership: weownit.org.uk/act-now/brin...

On 15 April 2019, just before 18:20 CEST, a structural fire broke out in the roof space of Notre-Dame de Paris. Notre-Dame has been rebuilt with strict adherence to the original construction. On 14 June 2017, a high-rise fire broke out in the 24-storey Grenfell Tower block of flats in England

I never know how helpful 'Imagine ifs' are - although I am partial to reminding people of the media meltdowns when Diane Abbott had a mojito on a train - but seriously, imagine a major Labour politician publicly advertising this level of pant-wetting ignorance. He is shadow *Justice Secretary* ffs.
