Starmer: • Not mentioned once in the Epstein Papers • Bad judgement call over Mandelson Media - Resign Now! Farage: • Mentioned over 40 times • Bad judgement over Nathan Gill • Reform "treasurer" Nick Candy linked to Epstein • Bannon was Farage advisor Media - Nothing to see here 🤔 🤔

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?

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

This is brilliant. I'm so grateful for this testimony. I've transcribed it to use in letters I'm writing. Sharing the full transcription here (see alt text to copy/paste it):

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Vote for Reform UK and get the very worst of the Tories... "How can anyone think Reform UK are a party of change when they only appear to be a care home for old Tories?"

We would. But what if our political system blocks that more sensible alternative?

😂

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

this is it. this is the level. this is the standard for democratic officials. anything less is intolerable.

Bovino shamelessly lies: "This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement"

After all this is over, we need to pass a law that makes social media posts from official agency accounts like this subject to perjury, equivalently to testimony before Congress. It is too destructive to the country to let them keep lying and lying and lying without any possible legal remedy.

Watching the news out of Minnesota, it’s undeniable that Trump’s made the United States into a shit-hole country.

Open Letter to Americans

As you already well know by now, it's all lies. Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie. All of it. Every time.

The Nobel Prize museum in Oslo subtweeting the fuck out of Trump today.

Three Yorkshiremen drive their Ford Transits overland from Bradford to Pakistan in time for Eid in the 1990s. Ultimate cosy retro TV. The voiceover is funny, candid, and incredibly warm in its frustrations (eg minute 7, but watch the whole thing). Highly recommend! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfbe...

In an amazing coup, Reform have a star defector, the self-described most popular politician in Britain! It's... hang on, have I got this right... Nadhim Zahawi? thecritic.co.uk/zaha...

And I’m gonna "like" this post every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #Justice4theVictims_NOW

NOEM: “We can’t trust the government anymore.” BASH: “You are the government.” NOEM: “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.”🤔 The only honest thing @KristiNoem said today

"AND I DOUBT NATO WOULD BE THERE FOR US IF WE REALLY NEEDED THEM."?? Insulting to no end

After posting on the White House website just yesterday that Ashli Babbit was "murdered in cold blood," the administration states that the victim of the ICE shooting in Minnesota was justifiably killed as a "domestic terrorist."

New footage provided to HuffPost of ICE Agents LITERALLY DENYING A PHYSICIAN ACCESS TO RENEE NICOLE GOOD, the woman they just shot in the face.

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

Reform UK's director for Wales has been removed from Cwmbran Community Council for failing to attend meetings. David Thomas is also goes by the names "DJ Dowster" and "Dr Squeegees" (I am not joking). Find out more about Dr Squeegees here: willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/special-re...

Excellent bit of journalism to avoid mentioning that there are now 12 more private schools than there were in 2024.

Starmer once again says there will be no return to free movement of people Please repost if you demand the restoration of the Freedom of Movement that was robbed from us by foreign interference and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

Interested in how you square the circle of “British people who post ‘burn down a migrant hotel’ during race riots shouldn’t be arrested” with “someone who posted pretty objectionable and racist things 8 years before they became a British citizen should be deported” and am sure someone will ask Nigel

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

I see a lot of people celebrating violence against Andrew Tate and Jake Paul and really we should be better than... Oh who am I kidding get Tommy Robinson in a ring with Oleksandr Usyk.

Pluralistic: A perfect distillation of the social uselessness of finance (18 Dec 2025) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow pluralistic.net/2025...

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Christ on a bike. It’s so desperate, so low, it makes me ashamed to belong to the same species.
