Trump Requests $1.2 Trillion To Have https://bit.ly/3RjdlH1

Anyone who boosts this guy, whether it's Mark Cuban or Mark Rutte or Mark Zuckerberg (jeez what's wrong with all these people called Mark?) is saying they're fine with this. Corruption is now longer a crime (except for you or me of course). www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

I think Eurovision made it clear that, no matter what the UK wants, Europe (including, obviously, Australia) are not interested.

Me: Wow, I love this guy's photography. Got to get one of his books... [goes to Abe books] Me: Oh...

There is a somewhat naive belief being pushed here that if only Labour weren't having...er...internal issues, Farage's £5m bung would be front page news. No, it wouldn't. Indeed you have to scroll almost to the bottom of the Beebs news page to find any mention of Farage.

BBC News and the "markets" have started on Burnham before he's even said he's standing as an MP.

I don't hold out much hope anything will come from this investigation. He's already been let off once...or rather 17 times. BBC News - Farage inadvertently breached MPs' rules, says watchdog www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yet another BBC News article that doesn't tackle the actual causes of potholes. Considering Reform are making repairing these "their thing" should there be a proper discussion about them? BBC News - A pothole has burst my tyre - what now and how do I claim? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Because the Lib Dems abstained! Once again the so called pragmatism of the Lib Dems means people end up with terrible leaders. No lessons learnt from 2010. Hope it's worth it for them. Reform leader re-elected on Leicestershire County Council - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This, incidentally, is part of Trump's Jesus/God fantasy. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This is fabulous and everything but wouldn't it be great if the government gave away books and Hegseth and his generals had to go around begging billionaires to pay for their dinners?

Good? Hopefully Labour MPs will see sense and banish Streeting to the backbenches.

The BBC News team are obsessed. And was it 10 minutes or 17? PLUS! Added speculation!

Endless billions for the Masters of War. Using money the Trump administration has stolen from poor people around the world. BBC News - Trump's 'Golden Dome' will cost $1.2tn and might not stop all-out missile attack www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump is constantly asking "how much can I get away with?" and the answer is always "everything!".

Once voters shrugged off the coup attempt, what more is there to be outraged over? At this point, if Trump delivered $2 gas and $3 ground beef, Americans would love fascism. Hate to say it! But I'm right.

His next excuse will be he was only 49 at the time, it was just a phase he was going through. Farage’s new Reform councillor ‘couldn’t remember’ if he TWICE stood for BNP share.google/L6DtaSfG4RJQ...

This one MP Is still the most important news in the world apparently. Although TBF they have changed the headline and photo of her. BBC absolutely gagging for another MP to join her.

This one MP, who I think has never troubled the news during her entire career, has had top story on the BBC News front page all day. BBC trying to make the news instead of reporting it?

Anti social driving is getting worse in the UK.

Context, as so often the case, missing. There are 403 Labour MPs, not mentioned by the "in depth" BBC News team.

Actually, Mr Lammy, isn't that precisely what you do if the pilot is incapable of doing the job? If you can't change the pilot, doesn't the plane crash?

And Anthony Berry was killed in the Brighton bombing that injured Tebbit and nearly killed Thatcher. Airey Neave had been blown up three months previous. Robert Bradford and Ian Gow both murdered. John Major and his cabinet narrowly escaped a mortar attack. Farage had a milkshake thrown at him.

I feel more people, especially Reform voters, should watch this video of Farage brown nosing Trump. It's really quite pathetic. This is the man they want in charge. A man who will give Trump anything he wants no matter the consequences to the UK or rest of the world. youtu.be/LgrbIuHlsn0?...

I'm very dubious of pub closure figures, not least because if CAMRA and the BBPA were to be believed we wouldn't have any pubs left by now. BBC News has no such qualms however. BBC News - British pubs closing at a rate of almost two per day in 2026 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So much better than that "I went to the supermarket and I bought". "Trump should not be President because..." Only problem is the list might never end.

There are literally right wing thugs trying to invade homes. Where's the emergency summit about that? Keir Starmer to host Downing Street summit to address antisemitism - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tory Shadow minister seems to have not noticed that only a couple of weeks ago Right Wing yobs were trying to smash their way into a house where they thought asylum seekers were. I presume they were going to have a nice little chat and a cup of tea? youtu.be/_EB544q_bvo?...

Yet another (BBC News) article about potholes which pretends it's a problem which can be solved by filling in the potholes. No analysis of the causes. Because heaven forbid we should ask ourselves hard questions about our reliance on road traffic. What can be done indeed...

in case you were wondering what stage of capitalism we're at, google search is now treating the word "crumble" as a misspelling of the cookie brand crumbl

Fascinating look at Thatcher's response to Israel invading Lebanon. Starmer has condemned Israel's bombing of Lebanon but nothing more. Thatcher suspended arms sales to Israel for 12 years. Britain's anger with Israel over 1982 Lebanon War - The Jewish Chronicle share.google/HwF29DaBOP1E...

Some good news. The sooner Europe weans itself off of the US's mendacious and malign influence the better. Europe does not need the US. BBC News - US to cut troop levels in Germany by 5,000 amid Trump spat with Merz www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reform are going hold up the whole renewable push. The current government needs to get a move on and overrule these local yokels, with legislation if necessary. Major Lincolnshire solar farm plans put on hold - Lincolnshire Live share.google/9a9TQpWTcP1L...

And what, Prime Minister, about the cumulative effect of the weekly protests by the far right on migrants, asylum seekers and people the Easily Confused think might asylum seekers? Obviously they would need to be "looked at" too?

Great thread. It's astonishing the hoops hacks like Hodges will jump though to justify their stupid takes.

How many more of these "gotcha" posts are we going to have to read before liberals realise that Reform voters, like Trump voters, don't care about any of this. They know what he's like and they don't care.

There are people, and not just the sycophants he surrounds himself with, who thinks this guy is genius.

BBC News, as ever, lead with the "backlash" not with "overwhelming support"...And Melania Trump's ridiculous statement gets no pushback! There's only one person "entering our homes" spreading "hate" every night, and it's her husband.

These people are crazy. There's no other explanation.

It’s important that we treat this like a school shooting and forget it ever happened...

Gentler reminder that Keir Starmer gave Mandelson the job.

Laughable. Trump and his ridiculous family are trying to instal their lapdog in the UK. That, alone, should be reason enough not to vote for Reform.

Surely too dangerous to risk Charles 3 going over to see Trump now?

"Activated" is barely accurate. They've begun work on it. But the graphic is pure nonsense. Morocco's energy mix is complicated but it has genuinely ambitious objectives. Why put up fake graphics?

BBC News which breathlessly covered the crime (that didn't happen) and then gave voice to the mob as if they had anything intelligent to say, ignores its own role in this fiasco. The Epsom rape crime that never happened - but sparked a frenzy anyway - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I am not getting up to change the channel.

So...not pensioners?

Trump knows he's President right?

Folks like ThePatrioticBlonde (TM?) will flip back to Trump as soon as gas goes down a few cents. If they voted for Trump knowing he was a corrupt sexual predator they'll vote for him again.

The worst thing about this is the nodding along, not one of them (and surely ONE of them knew it was wrong?) says anything. Did any of the assembled hacks speak up?
