The fun thing about being a fascist in a fascist party running a fascist government is you do not have to make any sense at all, you can duckspeak any old stupid babble and it makes no difference.

Magyar on Ukraine: "We cannot tell any country to give up territory. If they do, they are a traitor... What would you do if Russia attacked Hungary? Which counties would you be willing to give up? ...They [international community] should give security guarantees." Big rhetoric change from Orbán.

The 12-strong interim Scottish executive committee have quit, accusing the UK leadership of a “generational fumble”, as they announced they would set up a rival outfit. Is it The People's Front of Judea (PFJ) or the Judean People's Front (JPF) 🤷‍♀️.

Periodic reminder that the president has lost his fucking mind

Jenrick has always been dodgy, in 2020, when he was Housing Secretary he was heavily criticized and faced calls to resign after it emerged he approved a £1 billion luxury housing development by Conservative donor Richard Desmond shortly after sitting next to him at a party fundraising dinner.

After posting a lengthy rant against the Pope, Trump is now posting images of himself as American Jesus performing a miracle. This is not normal. And this kind of behavior is only likely to increase and worsen as his dementia progresses. 25th him now.

“It’s deeply shocking that Reform has developed such close ties with Orbán’s regime, an authoritarian govt with an appalling record of rolling back democracy and civic rights” Where ‘deeply shocking’ = entirely on brand. Hungary shows us we must never give them power. www.desmog.com/2026/04/08/m...

Scenes from Budapest tonight.

The Hungarian people wisely refused to listen to these grifting scumbags.

Free prescriptions, free tuition, publicly owned rail and publicly owned water are worth standing up for. On May 7th, make it both votes SNP for a government that's on your side. #BBCDN #BothVotesSNP

Orban admits defeat in the Hungarian election, "The responsibility and opportunity to govern were not given to us" "I congratulate the winning party"

I can't quite express the joy of seeing Viktor Orbán, the man who took my grandparents' native land to the brink of dictatorship, concede power after 16 years of autocracy and corruption. This is personal.

Scotland Tomorrow I'll be back. Looking forward to discover this mystical stretch of land again. #landscapephotography #landschaftsfotografie #fog

“Hegseth mentor Doug Wilson's vision for a Christian nation means married women can't vote *** During a town hall at an Idaho University, Wilson and his fellow pastors pitched a vision of America with no LGBTQ+ rights, no divorce and no voting rights for married women” 4/10/26 … 1/

Explain to me why we generate much more renewable energy than we need, yet Labour forces on us the highest energy prices in the UK and Western Europe. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿|🇪🇺 𝘝𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘚𝘕𝘗 𝘰𝘯 𝟩 𝘔𝘢𝘺

This Reform leaflet from three Gateshead candidates looks like a timelapse of the same person

There are multiple allegations in the Epstein files that Donald Trump raped children. Weird how quiet she’s been about that.

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

I love how Orbán’s supporters claim he is an enemy of the “globalist elite.” The man is backed by the leaders of the US, Russia, China, and Israel, plus tech oligarchs like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. You literally cannot be more “globalist elite” than Viktor Orbán

🤦‍♀️

On 3 September 2025, Reform UK Deputy Leader Richard Tice called for Angela Rayner's resignation, describing her as "the biggest hypocrite in the land" for her criticism of opposing politicians whilst in opposition. 😆

This is what it looks like when you sell your soul for ambition as the realization sets in that you boarded a sinking ship that is taking you down with it.

I like Presidents who DON'T tweet.

Not even 6 in the morning, and Hungarians are already lining up to vote! Hopefully get rid of Orban and Russians once, and for all! #cdnpoli

Serious question: Do Labour have absolutely no one behind the scenes doing PR for them?

Farage built his whole career on an anti-EU, pro Brexit platform. If more of the media did it's job & held him accountable for all the destruction Brexit has caused, he would not be leading in the polls. You therefore have to presume that those in charge of these platforms are for it.

L: So how to they get one? W: We're not giving.... we're not having one. We were elected on a mandate. L: So how do they get one? W: Well, they're not having one. Apparenly mandates only matter when Labour get them.

I kid you not. Paul Brand on @lbc.co.uk said Golden Eagles are going to be reintroduced into the UK Stares in Scottish

Kushner looks like even he can’t believe he’s getting away with being a lead negotiator when he’s the son in law of the president and their family has billions of dollars worth of deals in the region

Oh, so he's gonna start fighting with China now? That's reassuring 😬.

Trump pulled the U.S. back. Ukraine didn't collapse. Applebaum's read: Russia isn't winning, Europe and Ukraine proved far stronger than anyone in Washington calculated — and Trump appears to be working off Putin's version of events, not reality.

Barack Obama sent seasoned diplomats and nuclear scientists to negotiate the Iran Deal. Donald Trump sent a few real estate bros and JD Vance. Failure was a foregone conclusion.

Your regular reminder that the US had a pain-stakingly negotiated and workable deal with Iran when Trump came to power, but he tore it up. He's now desperately trying to secure a deal much worse than the one he set aside.

We already knew that Farage's Reform is filled with mega chancers & grifters. It is widely known that Richard Tice has aggressively avoided tax legally due. Now we find out his company failed to pay tax legally due. So much for public services & standards. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Fox News points out that Trump’s claim about all the Iranian leaders being dead is undermined by the fact his administration is negotiating with Iranian leaders right now

The ironic thing is that it was the Tories who slashed the defence budget in the first place & now Kemi wants to starve kids to build it up again.

Tea is horrid, I have no idea how everyone drinks so much of it 🤷‍♀️

there is no politician so irreplaceable that we must overlook sexual misconduct because nobody else could possibly fill their shoes

The deputy leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, owns a property company - Quidnet REIT. From 2020 to 2022 it paid Tice and his trust £600k in dividends. Quidnet should have paid £120k of tax on those dividends. It didn't. A 🧵 with evidence from the company's own filings:

Kanninen: "I wish Rs would do the same thing w/ Gonzales. Just 5 days ago there was a story about texts he sent another staffer after previous one killed herself. There's not been calls for him to resign. Anybody, R or D, w/ this kind of serious charge, should focus on their families, not politics"

I think George Foulkes lives in an alternative universe.

I must have missed all this charm that Kevin McKenna, 'feature writer of the year' at the Herald, sees in Anas Sarwar who apparently hugs people & calls them bro whilst playing 5 a side. Thankfully, I was not able to read the rest of the paywalled interview as I think I may have thrown up 🤮.

Why is this argument never used when it comes to CEOs or bankers. Or, for that matter, BBC presenters. The BBC's 2024-2025 annual report revealed that nearly 70% of its top 20 earners had received pay rises.

I'm glad we've decided that bombing a place "back to the stone age" is something to frequently protest against

I think not Anas. If you need to plead so blatantly with people to vote for you, you're not doing it right!

I have a better chance of being Scotland's next First Minister than Anas Sarwar.

Trump & Netanyahu will watch the world burn to protect themselves.

Curious why Melania Trump held a surprise press conference yesterday? Now it’s become clear. She was responding to close friend Amanda Ungaro whose husband introduced Melania to Trump, & is threatening to expose what she knows about Epstein, Melania & President Trump - who she called a pedophile.
