Seems to be going well…

🚨 BREXIT BUDGET🚨 "And Finally, Madam Deputy speaker, we are ramping up sanctions on Russia and we are freezing known Russian assets." "But let me be clear. I don't actually mean the Honourable Member for Clacton."

Tory MPs now protesting about anti-protest laws which they themselves brought in..

“Brexit was a waste of money that, now more than ever, we simply cannot afford.” The political refusal to admit how badly they screwed us over with Brexit keeps us trapped in inevitable, snowballing failure. We can’t let them dodge this reality forever. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The right wing elite are ruthless in protecting their own and getting what they want. They wanted Johnson. (And what a disaster that was for us). Now they want Farage. (Would be an off the scale catastrophe for the country). Time we woke up to the betrayal. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-confid...

Has there ever been a greater waste of skin and oxygen than this asshole

I mean - guys I'm not sure Grok is hugely reliable... guys

Sadly, we don’t expect anything else from Trump - he has tarnished the office of the presidency. "The combined force of two outbursts at female journalists in a single news cycle went beyond the standard-fare Trumpian attacks on the media." https://bit.ly/48upnT5

The black hole in Durham County Council’s budget has grown by £11.1mn in the past two months under the control of Reform UK. Its cabinet has been forced to approve a £10mn list of cuts.

"Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era. Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt...."

Very healthy for the republic that its leader needs to have this clarified

It is 90 years since George Orwell travelled to the north of England to learn about the living conditions of the northern working-class, during the long Depression of the 1930s. Today’s figures show not much has changed.

A very personal story of Covid tragedy and Dominic Cummings, which I wrote early in the pandemic in 2020. bylinetimes.com/2020/05/27/c...

Our research shows that Brexit made millions of ordinary Brits poorer. Ahead of next week’s budget, write to your local paper and make the case that closer ties with the EU will boost our economy. Use our template: https://www.bestforbritain.org/letter_editor_brexit_budget

But he was SO FUNNY on Have I Got News For You.

The Battle of Berlin in April 1945 caused the death of c. 125,000 civilians, which is about twice as many civilians killed in the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. My own view about the use of the A Bomb is rather complicated but any tankie condemnation on this point needs to tag the Red Army too.

Just straightforward vandalism for its own sake at this point.

To be fair, it’s sorta the unofficial symbol of the #Trump regime—

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

Donald Trump just called for the death of two senators and four congressmen he disagreed with. This isn’t left vs right or blue vs red. This is sane vs insane. I choose sane.

Is Piggy referring to his attempted coup on January 6th?

"Too little, too late" doesn't really cut it. A tragedy for 23,000 families that lost someone that should have lived. And for all those others who lost someone. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

“If you’re quiet now, you would’ve been quiet in 1940.”

Meanwhile, on X - Grok is denying the Holocaust... and all our institutions and politicians and media giants just stay there like that's perfectly OK. What does it take to get people to leave that horror show??? Seriously.

So didn’t actually give anything away then?

Mark Bray has been called the leader of Antifa. There are two problems with that – it's not an organisation and it doesn't have a leader. "I hate fascism, but I am not the person they're claiming I am," he says. "I was just an easy target for MAGA" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/doxx...

Tom Brufatto, policy director of Best for Britain: 🥦 🧃 “This rise in food and drink inflation reinforces the urgency for rapid progress towards a food and drink deal with Europe, which will bring supermarket costs down by slashing trade barriers.” https://bit.ly/49nCTtF

As Labour proposes limiting the protection of the ECHR, we must remember what it was set up to do; protect us all from abuses of power by our govts. Be v wary then of anyone calling to do that. You may not be the target now. But why shouldn’t you be next? bestforbritain.substack.com/p/why-we-and...

"An honest, decent, honourable man who's been loyal to me and the party at all times." 🇷🇺 Nathan Gill is to be sentenced on Friday for accepting Russian bribes... Loyal to you perhaps, but not the country... Not the best judge of character are we Nige?

🇪🇺 "Since the Brexit referendum in 2016, the UK has become no more open to trade" ⬇️ "Goods trade is now lower, as a share of GDP, than it was in 2019." ✈️ Trade barriers in goods are particularly harmful to regional equality and development . https://getting-out-of-the-hole.uk

@pimlicat.bsky.social: "Multiple studies show that ramping up ever-harsher rhetoric on immigration and asylum never wins over Reform-curious voters. The government would be wiser to make the case for the international institutions and protections we all depend on.” https://bit.ly/49YBJVD

"Leaving the ECHR would deny British people hard won rights, free speech, the Hillsborough inquiry and protections for older people." The ECHR is fundamental for all of our rights. Asylum seekers have a right to be treated in a dignified and humane manner.

He is obviously done going over them with his sharpie. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“How many refugees have been granted asylum in the UK?” Most people overestimate the number - by a lot. With far-right figures spreading misinformation, it’s hard for the public to know the truth. Watch the video to see just how wide the gap is between perception and reality.

Labour concocts more ugly measures to punish asylum seekers and the right immediately demands worse… howling to leave the ECHR. This scapegoating of migrants must stop. It is failure - morally and practically. “Either we all have human rights or none of us do.” app.independent.co.uk/edition/uk.c...

It is 90 years since George Orwell travelled to the north of England to learn about the living conditions of the northern working-class, during the long Depression of the 1930s. Today’s figures show not much has changed.

We sold our water to foreign billionaires. Now we’re handing them our health data.

Surely there is scope for greater imaginative cruelty here. Could not their hair be harvested for wig shops? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Somewhat heartening to see a backbench Labour MP express what ought to be obvious common sense moral wisdom to her government colleagues. But hers is an isolated voice within the party now. I can’t imagine myself ever voting Labour again and I suspect I’m far from being the only one.

Governments really should remember that asylum seekers are humans like the rest of us, who have often been through very traumatic events.

Very important article to read. And there will be more. So get ahead of the coming storm.

"This entire saga has a smell hanging over it. The people of Teesside, Hartlepool and Darlington are no fools. That smell will not go away until there is a full, transparent and independent inquiry."

Reform UK energy plans crumble under scrutiny …evidence shows green jobs and growth are already powering the UK economy.

"Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era. Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt...."

Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. Investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%. Staggering economic self-harm. https://bit.ly/44faQch

Exactly this.
