US forces – including AC-130 gunships – have been seen arriving at a base in England in recent days as the oil tanker fleeing US Venezuelan blockade approached. It‘s due to pass into European waters within hours Russia has sent a sub & other vessels to escort it to Sochi apple.news/AZ7r62fRuQyO...

BBC bosses slammed for ordering journalists to deny Maduro was 'kidnapped'. Trump himself has said kidnapping isn’t a bad term for the US’s capture of Maduro and his wife. Linguistic games are part of appeasement all round.

Were these Reform members too racist, or not racist enough, too corrupt, or not corrupt enough, too lazy & inefficient, or not lazy & inefficient enough ... "What was once the city’s most active branch of Reform UK has imploded" www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/local-reform... .

Excellent question!

In July 2024, I warned that if Trump were re-elected, "The age of multilateralism would be over, and something much worse will take its place. The UK and Europe will need to find the means of defending ourselves". I was called "hysterical". Well, here we are. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If we don’t get out of this, the tragedy won’t be that evil people managed to end the America experiment. It will be that such unimaginably stupid evil people managed to end the American experiment.

The US may be about to launch an operation from its bases on UK soil against an oil tanker. I ask what and when the UK government will be informed about the operation. Will we have any say on its nature? No answer #Sovereignty?

🇮🇷Iran’s Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has issued his first official call to action, urging Iranians to chant slogans simultaneously at 8:00 PM on January 8–9, from the streets or their homes, with further steps to follow based on the response. #Iran

Hallelujah 🙏

you don’t hate Palantir enough! (friend sent this to me)

Labour has handed Palantir another £240 million contract with the Ministry of Defence. The UK relies too much American defence tech. Palantir is an incredibly sinister surveilance and war company run by a Nazi. The contract covers "live operational decision making." www.politico.eu/article/pala...

If you want to ask a Labour MP for the govt to post official govt comms here, then here's a list - albeit short! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Members of the UK Parliament should not be sharing a platform with overt, unchecked racism and misogyny. Their ongoing support of Musk's platform is demeaning and damaging to the standing and reputation of all participants and our Parliament. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @labourlewis.bsky.social

This Grok post (uncensored) has been up on X for 15 hours and has 1 million views. X has yet to remove it.

We have learned that Sex Matters - the anti trans group whose activities you are obliged to fund through your taxes - is being investigated by the Charity Commission. goodlaw.social/j4r1

Thanks for posting that AJ, if everyone did the same and tagged the handful of Labour MPs that are on here we may get through to somone 🙏

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Ukrainian long-range drones have hit the Herkon Plus oil depot in Streltsovskiye Khutora, near Usman. It’s on fire. #explodey

Reminder: The BBC keeps giving this bigoted c**t a platform. “A non-people”? Hideous.

🚨BREAKING: DOJ admits it has only released 12,285 documents required by Epstein Files Transparency Act. More than 2 million documents still need to be reviewed/released. DOJ is in violation of federal law that required release by Dec. 19. More from Democracy Docket in am. www.democracydocket.com

The UK and France will send armed forces to Ukraine following any peace deal, Starmer says at the press conference after the meeting between European leaders and Trump’s envoys.

Ex-NATO General Michel Yakovleff: “If Trump moves on Greenland, Europeans must be ready to fight the US to defend sovereignty.” "We must be ready to fight the US if they threaten European interests."

Not the most important thing. But this contract was - probably unlawfully - awarded without competition. But the Court of Appeal, under pressure from the Tories over our VIP lane judicial reviews, said there was no public interest in who Government awards contracts to so there can be no challenge.

Please repost. This is so important.

Also, I just realised that we are now 26% into the 21st century and I’m… perturbed.

With the retirement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the passing of LaMalfa, it looks like the GOP no longer holds a working majority until his seat is filled. It’s at 217. They need 218 for a majority.

This is a very sad sight to watch for so many reasons

More footage. Ukraine’s Alpha unit long-range drones targeted the "Herkon Plus" oil depot in Streltsovskiye Khutora, just north of Usman. The strike caused a massive fire at the facility, which is part of Russia’s critical energy infrastructure.

100%. Are we mad?

Yes, I saw this too. Link to the original post. www.instagram.com/p/DTI7uMXDgy...

What do these companies have in common? -Cigna -Comcast -General Mills -Allstate -Marriott -Hilton -Walmart -Amazon -Microsoft -Meta All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And all have broken that promise.

It's weirdly mesmerising. Like an out-take from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland that was just a bit too trippy.

Pathetic Maria Machado has said she will give Donald Trump her Nobel Peace Prize and begged him to invade Venezuela and install her as President. Got to be the worst Nobel Peace Prize winner ever, what a disgrace to the Nobel Prize, to Venezuela and of course to herself.

Is this what Trump meant when he said we are "running" Venezuela?

10/10. No notes.

The best course of action for Canada and Europe is to get carry out preemptive action against the United States and Trump. Whether that is legal challenges or militarily. It is better to prevent the invasion of Greenland than wait for the US to attack first.

Co-Founder of Palantir Joe Lonsdale saying the USA should be able to go round the world and blow up 'commies'. The same Palantir which now has all your NHS data.

This is where we are. Read this joint statement by France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark on Greenland: "Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."

France at the UN Security Council: "The military operation which led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro runs counter to the principle of peaceful dispute resolution and the principle of non use of force. Violations of the UN Charter... chips away at the very foundation of the international order."

OFCOM has put out this statement about X creating sexualised images of children on X, (but not BlueSky.)

On Air Force One, a reporter noted that some had called it a kidnapping and Trump said that was a good term for it.

“Chaos is coming.”

Clear and unequivocal, shame we don't feel the same way about the land of other sovereign nations, say errrr... Venezuela

Here Ofcom hoodwinks the public into thinking the wickedness of X is being addressed, gives the Government a excuse for not grasping the nettle itself, avoids precipitating another 'free speech'/US tech interests row with the US. But actually to tackle CSAM and image based abuse? You must be joking!

Trump: "We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security. And Denmark is not gonna be able to do it ... the EU needs us to have it"
