I'd rather pay an extra pound on my pint of beer than see a child starve. Fuck Off #Farage! and #Reform

Just another chancer hoping to use the seat in Gorton & Denton so he can sit in the House, a bit like what that other bloke did in Clacton. Apart from a couple of years at university in Salford he has no links to the area. Hopefully he's sent packing at the election box.

So Mathew Goodwin is to stand in #Gorton for #Reform. Historically the area doesn't really play along with the far right. Here's Oswald Mosley being 'greeted' by the locals there back in 1962.

We need a new parliamentary rule. Every time a sitting MP defects to another party a bi-election should automatically triggered in their seat.

Things must be bad when even the National Rifle Association of America are issuing statements criticising ICE shootings.

If you want a taste of how Trumps utterly offensive words on NATO Troops hiding behind the front lines in Afghanistan yesterday are being received in the UK, then listen to todays @mrjamesob.bsky.social I've been holding back tears all morning listening to this. www.globalplayer.com/catchup/lbc/...

This just popped up on my FB page. Thought it might be worth posting on here.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Im a bit behind listening to your show today. I'm almost in tears listening to the mother of the young Royal Marine today. She's absolutely right that the King should raise this issue with Trump when he visits.

We need more of this. Real adults in the room calling Trump out on the bullshit he spews in front of the worlds press.

NATO to Trump on Greenland - Fuck around and find out. Trump to NATO - No tariffs!

You know when Father Ted has to explain the blatantly obvious to Father Dougal like he's talking to an infant in order for him to understand? That's how I imagine Mark Rutte of Nato explaining their stance on Greenland to Trump.

Meanwhile here's Vance on his recent visit to american troops in Greenland. www.thepoke.com/2026/01/20/a...

Surely there must be at least one adult in the room at the White House who could explain to Trump that Norway (The home of the Nobel Prize committee) is not in fact Denmark or Greenland.

I'm surprised Charlton Heston has returned from beyond the grave to hand Trump his Oscar.

Trump to Iranians - Get out on the street and protest like fuck! Trump to Amercans - Get off the streets and shut the fuck up! ????????

If it's inevitable that some country is gonna take over Greenland from Denmark, then maybe Canada should make an offer. They're neighbours, and im pretty sure the Greenlanders would prefer Canada running things over the USA.

So Greenland is not a Narco state nor terrorist state and is absolutely no threat to America. Trump and co are gonna really struggle to convince anyone in both UN and the rest of the world that a seizure of the territory is legitimate.

This is what I said 2 months ago. Now its been confirmed that the usa will be 'heavily involved' in Venezuelean oil industry.

Is this the action of a wannabe Nobel Peace Prize winner?

I dont know what my spirit animal is, but im hoping it's a Honey Badger!

Ive done it! I got to today without hearing Last Christmas. Its just come on now 😀 Do I win a prize? #whamageddon

Well it finally happened. Im a brit spending Christmas in the USA, last night at a party i was lectured to by an American on the 'immigrant nvasion' in London and the UK. This guy had been to the UK once as a kid with his parents in the 90s, so sure hes definitelyan authority on UK affairs.

Just wondering when the Christmas party for my local #Aldi is. Ive self checked my shopping there all year. Feel like im entitled to share in their Christmas shenanigans 😂

Never a bad time to listen to/watch this clip. But right now it seems more apt than ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0Cz...

Reposting this from a month ago. Seems apt.

Cracking game this #MCFC V #Fulham

Taking a leaf out of the Farage playbook this morning I "respectfully" called a colleague a fucknugget.... and now I'm sat in HR.

If you represent a left leaning/socialist/liberal/democratic political party STOP pandering to the right wing voters with right wing policies! All your doing is validating the right and losing your base!

🤣🤣🤣

From what I understand there is minimal cocaine and fentanyl production in Venezuela. However they do have absolutely shit loads of OIL 🤔

If the people of the USA are wondering what troops on their streets will look like for the foreseeable future I suggest that they take a look at what was happening in Northern Ireland throughout the 70s 80s and 90s.

I always give myself a little chufty badge when I guess the right year on Craig Charles BBC6 Music show. The 90s is by far my best decade for guessing correctly. Surprisingly (considering the hedonistic lifestyle I had then) I seem to be remember where I was or what I was doing for specific years.

Remember when Diana Ross kicked that penalty in the opening of the last usa world cup? Can #Trump do it next year? Surely a man with his physical prowess will have no trouble smashing it in from 12 yards 🤣🤣🤣

This is devastating. it's pretty close to where I live now, and I grew up in Crumpsall where this has happened. My dad was friends with the live-in caretaker (who was a holocaust survivor) there when I was a kid and we'd visit him quite often. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...

I've been explaining the Dublin iii agreement to Reform and Tory supporters who keep banging on about immigration. (Google it). Do you think they wanna hear the truth? Arseholes the fucking lot of em!

My Grandad and Uncle were given a very specific job by the UK government back in 1944. The Job was to go to mainland Europe and begin liberating it from a Fascist/Nazi dictatorship. They fought facism from France all the way to the centre of Germany. Were they #Antifa terrorists?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression you couldn't work in the UK unless you had a National Insurance number. If that is the case what is the purpose of this #BritCard?

So..... See you all next Rapture?

was going to make a joke about the rapture but it just isn't happening.

What time does the Rapture start? I'm trying to decide if it's worth spending money on some things for dinner tonight or not.

As Both Christian Nationalism and Muslim Fanaticism seem to both aspire to the same end game can we just start calling the radical christians the Christiban?

Trolls are here! FFS! #bluesky

Original #Antifa off to commit "terrorism' against those peace loving fascists.

If your political leaders aren't prepared to answer difficult, serious political questions without pulling out the "Victim" card, then you need new political leaders.

I love this one. www.thepoke.com/2025/09/16/s...

So the UK Ambassador to the United States - Peter Mandelson, has just been sacked from his post by Prime Minister Starmer after he was found to be a contributor to the Epstein Birthday book and emails of support from him to Epstein after his first conviction were leaked.

Do I tip it?

Im off to a Japanrse restaurant this evening. Apparently it has robot waiters. Can anyone give me any advice on whether I should tip a robot or not?

🤣
