The UK economy grew by a faster than expected 0.3% in November Growth was driven by an increase in industrial output, the Office for National Statistics said, helped by the return to production at Jaguar Land Rover's facilities following the cyber-attack there

If you'd like to see more of the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica that they didn't manage to show on Celebrity Race Across The World, we have a stunning holiday rental set in the hills of secondary rainforest near to the Panama border. DM me if you'd like details.

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?” “Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?” You can have those for nothing, lads.

NF besties with a Russian asset. Spread the word and hold him to account, he’s no patriot just a grifter.

Flooding in South Wales awful but nice of Sky News to lighten the mood by highlighting the name of the nearest pub !

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this.

So the UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner had to resign because of a tax error but this is ok? Help me understand.

He’s always so shit in the face of decent questioning. Absolutely amazing how rarely it happens.

"To the people of the UK who think this Putin-loving free-speech imposter and Trump sycophant will protect freedom in your country, come on over to America and see what Trump & MAGA are doing to destroy OUR freedom" Farage has his arse handed to him on a plate.

Farage getting told a few home truths .. Scummy little man ..

Current state of UK political discourse.

My theory about the FT, and why it’s the paper I choose to read for news, is that it’s designed for a readership who are making multi-million pound decisions which require a working knowledge of what is ACTUALLY happening if they’re not to lose Leeson levels of moolah, so it can’t afford to spin.

On Tuesday Nigel Farage will publish his proposals for mass deportations, Prison camps, leaving the European Convention on Human Rights & scrapping the Human Rights Act, quitting the Refugee Convention and the UN Convention against Torture - is that a country we want? youtu.be/-UvfvAYytZY?...

You pleaded guilty, you are a criminal. This “reporting” & sensationalist headline is from the BBC. @lisanandymp.bsky.social are you doing anything to sort out the BBC ?

Free breakfast clubs are boosting attendance and improving behavior in some schools according to head teachers. There is no doubting this policy has been a huge success for Labour in its first year in government

🇪🇺🇬🇧 Through my first set of meetings in Brussels. The praise for Starmer is overwhelming: “What he has managed to do is not just good for him. It's good for all of us. Absolutely top notch. This is the UK at its best. The UK we have always admired.

Re-writing history is a tool of political fraudsters everywhere. Trump is its keenest proponent. The birth of the European Community, later the EU, was actually actively supported by the US. The joint, transatlantic goal was to secure peace on the Continent. It was a specific vision of FDR.

Of course.. another Reform traitor ...

Tonight, to mark the 3rd anniversary of the war in Ukraine, buildings across the UK, including #Cardiff Castle, will be illuminated in yellow and blue. The Ukrainian flag will also fly at half-mast as a sign of ongoing global support. 💛 💙

Just America & Israel voting with Russia, Iran, North Korea... ...against Ukraine.

This can’t to repeated enough. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

This is real. And I have never seen the competence, morals, standards and communication strategy of any government collapse so fast.

ExodusAction #1: Please everyone tell @thenation.com to engage with Bsky first not X. We tried asking nicely. If they use Bsky more, their audience will too. It's a small, easy step we can all take to promote free speech and democracy. (crossposting with @buffer.com is free).

Even though he’s little better than a Russian stooge he’s right for the wrong reason. For exactly the same justification that Germany in particular & Europe in general had to break its reliance on Russian gas we have to wean ourselves off over reliance on the US, for anything. Totally unreliable now

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Why are the BBC spending licence fees on “investigating” non stories like this ? What is this anti Reeves agenda? This sort of nonsense it what you expect from certain sections of the right wing press it shouldn’t be from the supposedly impartial BBC.

Worth noting, we never heard anything about this "scaling back recruitment and trimming hteir workfoce" when Boris Johnson hiked employer and employee NICs by 1.25 percentage points as part of his 'social care levy' in 2022.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Please ask @bsky.app to reinstate the @vizcomic.bsky.social account. Viz may not translate for a US moderator but they need to know they are, without exaggeration, one of the foundational pillars of UK comedy for over four decades. It’s like banning Mad Magazine or SNL only Viz is actually funny.

@ivograham.bsky.social Loved your show at Bristol last night & lovely touch to give souvenir tickets. Mine will be stored securely with 50+ years of tickets & my kids drawings - they are 28 & 23 now so don’t do as many as they used to ! Swindon v Port Vale this weekend 🤞for a repeat of 2012 😀
