Badenoch has no grace. And only arrogance where empathy and social intelligence should be. She is what the Tories have now become. Unelectable. Deeply unpleasant, unprincipled and really very dim.

Trump will release the video evidence of vandals cutting a 350 ft gash in the Reflecting Pool lining when he releases the Epstein files, and proof that the 2020 election was stolen, and evidence that the ICE agents who killed Americans acted in self defense, and

And not a squeak from Farage, Lowe, Robinson or Tice. Nothing. Literally nothing.

International stability and the security of their own countries requires Trump and Putin, and their inner circles, to recognise that the 21st century world isn't the great power playground they thought it was. But neither seems personally or politically capable of doing that.

All Trump had to do when he started his term was JDFU. Like, he literally just could have played golf for 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, and literally done NOTHING and we would be in a 1000% better situation in every conceivable dimension

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

Trump: conspiracy claim Welker: do you have evidence to support your claim? Trump: CLAIM Welker: evidence? Trump: ad hominem attack Welker: evidence? Trump: either/or fallacy as ad hominem attack Trump: more ad hominem attacks, storms off Trump: grumble, mumble, snort, stomp

I fell foul of a website which appeared to be a US government site when I applied for my ESTA yesterday. The visa, which should cost $44 has cost me $179 and there is nothing I can do about it! I hate it when this happens 😔

Infamy! Infamy! They’ve all got it in for me…

Shamelessly stolen from elsewhere (happy to credit the creator if I knew who it was)

Corruption is the guiding principle of the administration and has been from day 1. What is happening now is nothing new, it’s par for the course. It is what the USA is now. Face it squarely.

I am against Jews being attacked but not any more so than I am against Muslims being attacked, or immigrants, or Italians, Germans, French etc Just because the government is in bed with Israel doesn't mean that we should be too.

49% of Americans are struggling to buy food even as Trump has made himself $4 billion richer as their president and cut taxes for the wealthiest 1%

The state pension (£184 per week), for many, simply allows them to pay their bills to essentially continue to live their lives without resorting to financial aid, starving or freezing. Is this something that needs to be reviewed as per the article? www.theguardian.com/money/2026/m...

WARREN: Do you have any explanation for these perfectly timed spikes in trading activity other than insider trading? HEGSETH: Everything we've done is completely above board WARREN: What does that mean? HEGSETH: I'm focused on doing my job W: You're not paying attention to this insider trading?

Jimmy Kimmel is 'not' backing down. This may be the best pharmaceutical ad I have ever seen.

Trump’s obscene budget.

Dubai emigrants returning to UK want relief from UK tax if they exceed 183 days bit.ly/4sOom0m so they don’t want to pay towards the safety the UK gives them! If they really lived in Dubai it wouldn’t be an issue it’s because they spend months in UK that it arises.

Trump threatens 10% global tariffs and rails against supreme court justices

Hard to believe that none of the Reform MPs turned up for the debate on Russian interference in our politics. Maybe they were visiting their former Kremlin talking points Welsh leader Nathan Gill in prison? Or en route to their next BBC interview to act as commentators on why Starmer should go?

Really interesting thread on French nuclear power.

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?” @acyn.bsky.social

That‘s the spirit.

As a scholar of Soviet espionage, may I say: Duh.

Does anyone really believe that Trump is innocent when it comes to his links to Epstein?

So Trump is now deploying ICE to protect government property in Democratic cities? How does that have to do with Immigration and Customs? The growth of a personal paramilitary force continues unabated.

This is crazy

Wow. San Francisco right now (Fri Jan 30, 2026). Tens of thousands on the streets supporting a national strike and economic shutdown. A huge anti-ICE, anti-Trump message being sent from the city. (🎥 Rachel Ziegler)

Since I'm pretty sure this administration doesn't realize this document exists, it would be worth downloading the 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment on foreign threats to the U.S. elections before it disappears, which includes the following finding: www.dni.gov/index.php/ne...

Where's the £350 million a year Brexiters claimed we'd gain...?

For easy reference. On the left, "agitators" and "domestic terrorists". Or the right, presidentially pardonned "freedom fighters".

The Boss is singing about ICE on the Streets of Minneapolis. You won't hear this played at the Kennedy Center or on Fox News. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...

Bill Clinton: Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come.  This is one of them.

This is where it looks to be going looking in from the outside!

Farage pays for nothing himself. He rakes it in from media, crypto, gold bullion, X… Clacton isn’t worth his time. He’s a rep for the US christofascist far right and is being paid to bring that shit over here. It’s all a grift. A pisstake. A very sinister betrayal. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

How can the British public support a man who is obviously as corrupt as Trump and whose only interest in politics is to enrich himself at whatever cost to anyone or anything else?

#BBCNews live page: www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cj... Man shot dead by federal agents in Minneapolis named as US citizen Alex Pretti ... some 'protesters are still out in the streets... as temperatures have dipped to -23C... residents have told us they can’t believe this has happened twice' now.

How many innocent people will it take to usurp the dubiously elected President of the United States? Did the people of America really vote for all this corruption, a dictatorship and wealth grabbing in what is becoming a police state?

Certainly an interesting scenario and why not? Trump is treating US allies like second class citizens - he is treating his own people the same way! The US wants control over everything as does China but, short term, China could certainly boost the standing of the EU
