@natashadevon.bsky.social @simonmarksfsn.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk Does Trump really have aides posting for him at 2 40am? The uproar was immediate but Trump left it up for 12 hrs. I think he enjoyed the outrage it caused. Just like he did when he watched the 6 Jan riots with glee.

I miss having decency and intelligence in the White House, but I also miss just having decency championed in our every day society. DT has brought out the very worst in America, and they feel emboldened and empowered. It feels lonely to be someone with compassion, and that should never be the case.

OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

I would never vote for Farage as he doesn’t meet my minimum standards as a human being.

There’s a statue in Parliament that’s been deliberately left damaged for over a century. The reason why takes us back to one of the most important protests in British history. Let me show you one of Parliament’s hidden stories.

The UK is doing more, but so must everyone else. The UK is issue more funding, more support, more sanctions on those responsible. Raising issues at the UN, bringing countries together to discuss support. But the world musrt do more to help the victims of the war in Sudan. 2/4

10 minutes. Please take that time to watch these 4 videos. The Foreign Secretary is back from a visit on the ground near the boarder to understand the issues from the war in Sudan. She has repeatedly raised these issues. But the world isn't listening. 1/4

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I was told by a Cruse counsellor that it is very common for your loved one to wait until you've left the room to pass away.

One is a tragedy. Two is a strategy.

Yep I think it’s time the British government boycotts the World Cup this summer. The US authorities are killing their own citizens. They cannot guarantee the safety and well being of British citizens. #BoycottTheWorldCupUSA

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Donald Trump was publicly shown to be wrong so his narcissistic ego was compelled to minimise the role of NATO troops, just so that he can be right in his mind. @lbc.co.uk

Tomorrow marks one year into Trump's second term. Worst case scenarios are already unfolding. Trump's derangement will only worsen, and eventually the US government will have to act against him. The question is, how much damage will he do to the US, the West and the world before they finally act?

Appreciate the list of things that could be done to express His Majesty's Government's displeasure which Starmer has chosen not to do. Only three more years to go... 🫩 youtu.be/j4qu_SnJJCU?...

Update to Nixon's Madman Theory: now with no theory, but with an actual madman.

Weak, weak, weak. This appeasement must end. Starmer should be uniting with our allies against Trump's threats, not splitting off to suck up to him.

Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom release a joint statement:

So it sounds like Farage is feeling the pressure over his previous praising of Trump. He's running scared and cancelled an appearance on the BBC this morning at short notice. Farage and Reform are on the way out! Time for the country to reject him entirely, once and for all.

Jake Lang - far-right influencer and pardoned Jan. 6 insurrectionist - promised to burn Qurans to provoke anti-ICE protestors. Instead, we watched him get peppered with silly string and chased out of town. Join @maitlis.bsky.social from the streets of Minneapolis as tensions run high...

. It's utterly unacceptable for the Mango Mussolini to threaten NATO allies with tariffs for supporting another NATO ally, Denmark, over Greenland... NATO has kept the peace in Europe since WW2 - it would be total Madness for Trump to destroy it. #trevorphillips #BBClaurak #bbcbh #toriesGone562 .

Lots of pics in the UK press today of a grinning Farage with his latest 'catch' Robert Jenrick; the British media seem to be completely beguiled by the Fagash Fuhrer. But it is even more important to remember what a dangerous piece of work Nigel 'Hitler was right' Farage really is.

I think it’s about time the press started holding Reform to the same level of scrutiny they do other political parties. It’s time they stopped indulging this ragbag of disaffected, careerist shysters.

Dirty Party. Dirty people.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I bet this brings back memories of when a UKIP staffer cut your interview with Farage short. They really don't like scrutiny.

"We are now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trump fascist project." We need to wake up.

Now I wonder why #Netflix dragged this up? #Tryanny #Fascism

@simonmarksfsn.bsky.social I'd be interested in your thoughts on how this could impact the US mid- term elections.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Yes I had to warn my cousins about waving their phones around in public. Other than that they had a great time in London. Seeing how excited they were, some tube passengers - shock horror - even struck up conversations with them with one explaining the depth of the tunnels.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I wear a mask not because I'm ill but because those who are don't.

With Trump siding with Putin against Ukraine and Europe the bonds that have kept peace for 80 years have been broken.

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Musk and Trump hate the EU for the same reasons Farage and Putin hate it. It stands for civil rights, the rule of law, and regulation of oligarchs

America’s complete, new national security strategy in Africa. Shorter version: we’re coming for your minerals.

. 🖕 Trump and his disgusting regime ! .

This woman is everything to me

Live at 5:50pm, on demand here and visualized on YouTube afterwards.

On February 28, 1933, the day after the Reichstag Fire, the Reichstag Fire Decree was issued. Among other things it banned all protest and criticism of the Government. This is exactly the intent of the Antifa ban, a ban so vague that it can be applied to anyone.

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.

“The West won the world, not by the superiority of its ideas, or values or ideas… but rather by its superiority in applying organised violence. Westerners often forget this fact; Non westerners never do.” Samuel. P. Huntington American political scientist, advisor and academic (1927-2008)

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.
