Interestingly Sky cut away from the Trump presser during RFK Jr’s stream of consciousness to issue quite a robust fact check.

#politicslive has become ‘This Morning’ then?

Peter Kyle’s had a great week…… Free speech being alive and well and now going to university in the pursuit of knowledge.

Reaction coming in to the news another Tory has defected to Reform

Doesn't it feel like there should be some kind of organised, anti-hate campaign to get public bodies, politicians, media etc to ditch X? (Not sure who would convene it, but still)

Tommy Robinson attracted approx. 100,000. 100,000 too many for sure. Pride attracts 1.5 million. We are 15x gayer than we are racist. Sorry Tommy.

Well…… that’ll keep the Epstein story off the front pages for a few days

Mandelson wont go of his own accord. The more the government doubles down on supporting him the more the optics are “covering up for nonces” Not only does it damage the government and Labour Party, it’s another knife in public trust in politics.

It seems inconceivable that Peter Mandelson can remain “our man in Washington”.

Hopefully the BBC will follow up on this story to cover the fact the venue mentioned in it had all of its windows put out on Friday night by someone with a hammer. Seems somewhat relevant. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

On the same day in the Telegraph:

During his congressional hearing #Farage wore not a Union Jack pin but a GBNews pin Who was he representing? The UK or the media channel he has shares in and is just about to launch in 🇺🇸?

This is what Kier Starmer should be saying. Take this shyster on, head-on. Go Raskin!

Why is suddenly ‘hands across the nation’ for Linehan? He’s a grubby attention seeker with an unhealthy obsession with strangers genitals. He’s loving this.

“Save are kidz” in action. The kids who need saving are those whose parents behave like this in front of them. Poor fucking guy, minding his own business, takes part in a vox pop, and is then submitted to a tirade of racial abuse by the dreck of British society.

As noted elsewhere in this thread, Isaac from Crystal Clean Windows York Limited came over and cleaned the restaurants windows for free and helped remove the graffiti. That's patriotism! Trying to make your community better. Reaching out and helping others.

I’m losing count of all the reasons that validate my leaving the party. McSweeney really doesn’t see any problem with the collapse of even the soft left support base and it becomes clearer by the day that Starmer has no political compass. Landslide to double digit seats in 1 election? Possible

This piece by @anandmenon.bsky.social sums up superbly what many people who either aren't 'White British' (or because of their skin tone don't pass as such) are feeling right now. It's a deeply uncomfortable read, but then it's a deeply uncomfortable feeling for them. Do read if you get a mo.

Meanwhile in Lincoln, patriotism has reached new heights by the spray painting of a shit, uneven, St George’s Cross on the wall of a grade 2 listed church. Desecrating a church and vandalising national heritage. A gammony double-whammy. I’m sure it’s gone a long way to ‘protect are kidz’

Two points worth noting on the Farage stuff today. 1. The Tories have completely ceded the August opportunity to get publicity when govt slows down to Reform. Nothing to suggest they're not headed fast towards oblivion. 2. Labour look even more lost than before. Paralysed with indecision and fear.

Zia Yussuf to the British media: “You’re not asking the right questions” whilst Farage refuses to answer questions in totality. He’s a pound shop Moseley channelling Trump. We don’t need this shit in Britain. Labour needs to start calling this shit out.

Meanwhile, just outside Lincoln people are going to prove their patriotism by shouting at an empty hotel

Imagine being so fucking stupid that you can’t compute the skin tone of the children of a mixed race couple. ‘Tommy Robinson’ is the scum of Britain. Utter scum

A highlight of my annual Dutch holiday is buying this magazine/book. Every year. I had to hunt a bit this year - but I found it

Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left

These pictures from Alaska make me want to fucking puke

Having a bad day? Well….. Joey Barton’s ‘hot takes’ have just made him £500,000 poorer. Have a nice night

If you’re at any of the protests against the Fash and any of these YouTube Auditors start harassing you just play any copyrighted music. Immediately invokes a strike against their videos and they can’t use the content. Something obvious like “Come On Eileen” or “Waterloo” does the trick

I’ve been monitoring protests outside asylum seeker accommodation all weekend. Of the 11 announced protests only Epping, Norwich, Leeds and Canary Wharf got more than a handful of people and all combined was probably little over 1000 ppl. Still worrying but important not to frame as a mass uprising!

Free-to-air cycling ends in 🇬🇧 today with the final stage of the #TDF . A truly sad day, it’s one of the only ITV broadcasts I watch and they’ve been excellent for years. A massive own goal in sticking it behind a paywall. It’s now going to be lost in a sea of football.

Fair play, Moon Safari is a banging album #totp

I don’t think I’ve seen scenes of famine like those from #Gaza since Michael Buerk was in Ethiopia. Red Cross now estimating half a million at risk of famine. That’s Ethiopia levels, especially on a per capita level. The RAF airdropped aid then and should now.

Thoughts and prayers for all the teenage boys who don’t know how to install a VPN May your mothers buy the Next catalogue and may every hedgerow contain a semi shredded copy of Razzle

Nigel Farage is Tommy Robinson in a suit.

Imagine being Joey Barton, incandescent with rage at the sight of a woman on a football pitch and the press praising her. Raging that no one can see that you were better than all of them, where’s your praise? Poor Joey.

Corcaigh Abú!! 🏴‍☠️❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍

My spidey senses tell me that maybe, just maybe, this poor child’s father had an agenda all along…..

Spoke too soon #totp

It wasn’t the collab we thought we needed, but we were wrong #totp

Wrong place, wrong time, but more importantly - wrong skin colour. I wouldn’t go anywhere near the US as a foreigner at the moment.

Yay for Measles! Maybe we can go properly retro and bring back scurvy and rickets. Fuck anti vaxxers.

Moustachio has entered his Boy George era

Erm….. @reformexposed.bsky.social

Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good hatred, right? Leader of Kent County Council Linden Kemkaran refuses to apologise for lying over transgender book claims. hellorayo.co.uk/greatest-hit...

I do love the Tory on #politicslive carping “how long are you going to keep saying 14 year?” Not being funny but Mel Stride was bringing up Liam Byrne’s note during the last election campaign

Anyway, time to settle in to watch Cork smash Dublin into next week. Up The Rebels
