To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote": 1. Things have changed. 2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit) 3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

Not content with killing civilians who have attended and filmed peaceful protests, they’re now arresting journalists who have attended and reported on peaceful protests. No not some rogue state, the land of the free, duh…

When I snapped my femur in two in front of C&A in Donegall Place, and as I lay on the footpath with half of one leg going the wrong way, a kind nurse put a towel under my head and stayed with me until the ambulance arrived.

MY VESSEL IS STOPPED and it’s @pegerman.bsky.social’s fault. As usual.

President Trump who created a trade war with the UK and Canada, forcing tariffs, creating instability and destroying trust Criticises the UK and Canada for looking to increase trade with China, which is far more stable and reliable than the US is under Trump

Chat about BBC NI presenters who do facilitation work and how they present in-person vs on TV vs off-duty and heard a story about someone who passed one - eyes dead ahead, don’t talk to me don’t look at me - and then another who was lovely big smile and hello, ‘‘Mr Jackets’, y’know who I mean?’ 🤣

Farcical. Not a serious country.

BYE BITCH

Scavengers Assemble.

Oxfordshire County Council is leaving X, the Elon Musk-owned platform formerly known as Twitter. It says it is “deeply concerned about the rise in online hate speech and abuse targeting women and girls… we must make clear and principled choices about how we communicate”.

I’ve unfollowed.

Everything is awful but the creativity behind some of these handmade posters gives me a glimmer of hope in humanity.

Closest thing I’ll ever have to a mantra.

Has there ever been a bigger disappointment than this Labour government.

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

You know how what happens in America makes it way across the Atlantic in a bit. Well in the US now, an unvetted military ‘border force’ is being sent in to areas that the current political administration doesn’t like, and is murdering unarmed legal residents. Reform will absolutely follow suit.

Only he knows whether it was deliberate or unintentional. Either way, however, hugely irresponsible and his position as a government minister is now untenable because of that. No one can remain in a position of such responsibility when demonstrating such a lack of it.

How about no, you irrelevant fuck.

Just can’t get it off

Nothing to see here, simply misleading the electorate…

every day I’m muttering

“We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn’t mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy… The powerful have their power. But we have something, too: the capacity to stop pretending.” — Canadian PM Mark Carney at Davos, basically announcing divorce from America and receiving a standing ovation

This. And primarily because government is present. Ministers , MPs, gov depts and local authorities presence dictates the relevant space for media and legitimises it for other public sector organisations, NGOs, business and civic society. Civilians will get their news wherever all of the above are.

Well done

Best of the plethora of these memes so far

What’s more alarming than Trump’s petulant memo is that the administration around him let it issue. It’s not just a matter of removing him, it’s the whole thing. I fear for Europeans in the US the way it’s going.

Difficult though it is, especially for smaller organisations in the smaller pool here, hopefully some will be encouraged by this and momentum will build. Really need to see political leadership too.

Good morning from Copenhagen Graffiti on a wall seen just now “Hey shithead. You may have nukes. But we will always have Nuuk.”

I BEEN TRYING…

I hope it’s clear that this is happening at least in part because he pulled the same unhinged belligerence against Iran last year and then Venezuela, and Europe was happy to let him get away with it because they arrogantly assumed that shit was for the browns and could surely never happen to them.

It’s truly a special kind of unhinged psychotic who will come up with “You didn’t give me the Nobel Peace Prize so I’m going to start World War 3.”

355 days ago he was doing that shit where all the federal employees where given ultimatums on their conditions, and I said in group chats that America is fucked, and people laughed. I seriously didn’t think he’d get away with so much for so long.

Tonight’s excitement included a good weight aluminium food tray that is pristine and can be kept. More as it happens.

It was absolutely inevitable and I dare say more widespread than just one school. Also while we're here, it's not clear from the article who the alleged victims are, but for clarity its a problem whether it's students, teachers or both.

This is a very good point. The November 2025 US National Security Strategy never mentions the Arctic at all. The idea that it's a genuine security priority for the Trump administration is not credible.

Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders. When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it. He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead. The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me. A pattern emerging...

*much of America will be punished with a 10% tax hike on European goods for Europe not giving us Greenland

A few points on Greenland: - Miller got every point wrong (Inc confusing international waters and the EEZ);- assume the US uses troops. Good luck with that - even landing on Greenland is tough plus no armour (no roads) and no air cover; there will be a v pissed off and capable population 1/n

A lot of forthright calls to avoid Twitter, not share Twitter, and so on. And I fully get it, have been calling for people to leave for a long time, particularly politicians, .gov accounts, and media. Even before the CSAM, it’s a fascist cesspool. BUT…
