The French once again taking no bullshit.

Reform UK’s ‘Dear Neighbour’ Trick… MKII… Goodwin just got BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!

The telegraph is absolutely abysmal. What you've done here is purposely clipped the article from 2023 to make rage bait. Archived version here 👇 archive.ph/ODPji

The Times runs a glossy cover. The redactions remain. The networks stay intact. This is about media protection, the immunity of the elite and why exposure doesn’t lead to accountability. Mandelson. The files. Media manipulation. Watch here 👇🏼 youtu.be/qVzzoNX3HoM?...

Just about all the MPs they are quoting are the "usual suspects" and if you challenge that you get f/b that this ! is! the! news! Continually irritated by biased reporting. @kiranstacey.bsky.social @peterwalker99.bsky.social @pippacrerar.bsky.social @andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social

Which one is it Mr Lammy?. You can't have it both ways. Is this ambition calling?.

First of all, piss off, washed-up journo. Second of all, Boris Johnson didn’t resign when Dominic Cummings resigned. He stayed on for another year and a half until he was sacked for deliberately misleading Parliament. So, once again, piss off — a really long way away. #UKMedia

Ever wondered if an administration that considers vaccines dangerous, but tirelessly promotes pesticides and fossil fuels, might have its priorities back to front? These people really are imbeciles. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

For fans of Mock the week that don't know by now.. It's back... On TLC @ 9pm..

I worked with Vidhya Alakeson 25 years ago for a year or so at the Foreign Policy Centre in 2000. Found her very impressive & organised then, among early cohort of interns at a new thinktank & then on the staff team. I think I was her first boss, albeit about 2 years older myself.

I don't think this is accurate or fair: they are not from "Team McSweeney" beyond being appointed as deputies within no 10 Autumn 2024. They have different trajectories from him & each other. Alakeson built her career outside party politics in power to change

If you consider yourself a socialist and you are not wholeheartedly supporting our current Labour government then you are condemning our country to the same debacle we are witnessing in the US. Get your head out of your arses and see the big picture before it’s too late! FINAL WARNING! ⚠️

"Dear Neighbour, My name is Patricia Clegg. I'm a 74 year old pensioner and I'm writing to explain that my last letter wasn't a cynical piece of propaganda that blatantly breached election law..."

Couldn't say this any better 👌

“No officer, I was driving like a motherfucker cause the council wouldn’t fix the road.”

The Times calls Keir Starmer's decision to hire Peter Mandelson an "egregious error" which deserves an "inquiry into the appointment process." Not included is any demand for an inquiry into their own appointment of him, long after his post-conviction relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was exposed

A faster approval process to update apprenticeships and the govt will develop short courses to tackle the need for skilled workers in major projects. The reforms were announced ahead of the start of National Apprenticeship Week on Monday. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

In response to my post about the launch of the 'National Cancer Plan' on substack, someone responsed with: "Great. But how about ending homelessness, taxing the rich nationalising water and ending the cost of living crisis?" So I responsed with this... 1/9

Just stop posting this nonsense. Time for a new leader of the Lib Dems? Many people are saying it? How many MPs are thinking it too? Out with Ed?

I assume this means his home will be raided like Mandelson’s? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Have to say… “uber-woke, net-zeroist, rejoinerism” sounds very appealing. Particularly in light of the fact that anti-woke, fossil-fuel-ist, brexitism has been such an exhausting and ruinous shitshow.

+ 24 are in progress (46%) - work in progress, or ongoing promise through the parliament + 7 are partially in progress (14%) - work partially being done, but other parts not started/dropped + 3 are not worked on but... (6%) - ...either is a manifesto promise, or alteratives being worked on 2/4

+ 7 are not being worked on (14%) - and not included in the manifesto (this doesn't mean related ideas are not being worked on) I also identified 2 promises which were no longer relevant/the situation had moved so - but have excluded these from the percentages. My assessment at the link. 3/4

I think that is pretty good going, given how much the world has changed in the 6yrs since the promises were made. I think part of the issue is either down to people not knowing following closely, misinterpreting what some promises mean, or deliberately misrepresenting the government's stance. 4/4

People like to pick out Sir Keir Starmer's leadership pledges and say he has dropped most of them... ...but is that really true? I broke the pledge card down to 50 different items and assessed each. I would say: + 9 are delivered (18%) - work done, promise kept 1/4

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

In Kropyvnytskyi, animal welfare volunteers are setting up “Points of Invincibility” for homeless animals so they can survive the freezing temperatures. 📹 Radio Liberty

Is the British countryside really being “made less white” like we’re being told by The Telegraph? And can private medical insurance really replace the NHS? @monkemma.bsky.social and I discuss the above and more in the fourth episode of Bear and Monk Debunk - you can listen at the link below.

This is care that actually fits around people’s lives, not the other way around. It’s the biggest shift in how we support cancer patients in a generation👇🏻 www.portsmouth.co.uk/community/every-cancer-patient-to-get-individual-support-plan-says-portsmouth-mp-welcoming-new-action-on-cancer-5505280

Oh!

Who was DPP during later stages of the journalists phone hacking scandal? Keir Starmer. Who is being hounded out of office by the media,not the electorate,the media? Keir Starmer. Can you join the dots?? Try it you might get some clarity.

Wouldn’t you think that, after all the Tory leadership contests, Labour would understand they’re really not a good idea. That’s especially the case if you’re ditching a man whose culpability is dubious and whose integrity is unsurpassable.

The media have never forgiven Keir Starmer for leading the Phone Hacking Scandal. They’re the people who hacked Millie Dowler’s phone making her parents have hope she was still alive. It’s the Media, stupid.

I hope this clears up any confusion.

Perhaps now you can focus on Farage and the danger he and his right wing friends here and in the USA present to the UK and not on someone who is decent and hard working Perhaps probe his finances ? The media in this country are a disgrace

Kuenssberg is off. Looks like she’s set to drag this one out as long as possible. Or at least for the next couple of days by her own admission. Full of whataboutery as per usual

I understand this is the 3rd time they've done this in as many byelections - it's deliberate attempts at election fraud *allegedly. Anyway, I've seen this and if they turn up at my house for the LEs I shall be asking the questions.

Indeed. Starmer has made some mistakes, but trying to restore our country post Tory whilst also in the face of endless, right wing owned media bias is an unenviable task. The priority is that, whatever critics from both left & right would like us to believe, this govt is getting the job done.

and yet www.politico.eu/article/how-...

Starmer has made multiple mistakes - but the direction generally, is good. Never forget the toxic legacy of the last government. This government is breaking it, bit by bit.

Dan Hodges reckons Starmer should resign over Mandelson. But, also Dan Hodges...

Gorton & Denton: I’m afraid it’s down to you to speak for the electorate. I hear so many voters wanting Keir Starmer to remain but some of his own Party and all the opposition wants him gone You can be our bellwether and speak for us.

Photos from trip to #Quebec province last September. #photos Very strong anti #Trump vibes.

They were once abundant in England but became extinct due to overhunting. The can help ecosystems to thrive and create natural flood defences & building wetlands which become havens for wildlife. Natural England has identified 32 projects with potential for wild beaver releases. 2/2

More beavers are set to be released in to the wild in South West England. It follows the first licensed release of beavers in Dorset last year after a landmark decision our Labour government made to allow wild beaver releases. Beavers have been absent from the UK for centuries. 1/2

Breaking news: man who could end world hunger and make serious roads into contesting climate change but instead chooses to make porn-AI accessible and cheerlead for fascists can’t work out why he’s not happy. 🧐
