Something to think about today.

I wonder how the relatives of the soldiers who have died in the war feel about the fact it may have started because it might be good for Pete Hegseth's investment portfolio?

There's a group of people out there who will believe this tripe (some might call them his cult). That's why companies like Bullion Direct pay him so much money to convince his gullible followers to part with their money.

“It is understood the National Cyber Security Centre is not aware of a report from Farage related to the alleged hack.” That’ll be because it’s all utter bollox. “Just how stupid would you like us to be, Mr Farage?” “Oh *that* stupid. Let’s see what we can do…” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Reform is the anti elite party Apparently www.ft.com/content/ebb7...

Erin Brockovich has launched a website and has begun tracking all data centers in America and logging resident complaints In just 1 week it’s already logged 1,690 resident complaints For this who don’t remember Erin Brockovich was the paralegal responsible for winning out a case against PG&E, in

“We can disagree and still be friends.” Yeah, about whether pineapple belongs on pizza. Not racism and homophobia.

If the £5m, £1m & multiple house purchases were all legal and above board then Nigel Farage would be on every single channel, with all the necessary evidence, so that he could scream and shout about witch-hunts, the fact that he’s not, and is essentially hiding, says everything.

Political expediency once again more important to Labour than what's best for the country. Pandering to bigots may have won them the last GE, but it's going to decimate them in the next.

Those flags don't pay for themselves you know.

Not a big fan of Burnham's u-turn on the EU, but sometimes you have to vote for the least bad option, and he's less bad than the Reform cockwomble.

This would be a completely unworkable policy. How would they determine when overtime starts? Not all contracts are linear and it would probably result in an explosion of zero hour contracts. Then there's the question of funding thus tax giveaway...

🙄🫩😠

If a fly is trapped in a bottle, it will randomly fly in every direction until eventually it lucks out and finds the exit. Farage is a fly in a £5m bottle, desperately seeking the lucky exit, meanwhile spreading the horse shit he walked in, all over the bottle.

If the creators of Airplane had written a movie that had the president as the lead character, instead of a pilot, and it was based on Donald Trump, producers would have dismissed the script as too ridiculous.

I've long thought that if options had been - Stay - Leave political union - Leave customs union - Leave political AND customs union that explicit infighting between leave options would have made it obvious how bad they all were

This is one of the (many) symptoms of wealth inequality. When wealth is concentrated into too few people, they have to find something to do with their money and generally they buy assets, driving up prices. Wealth taxes could reduce the problem, but there's no political will to tax their paymasters.

Catching up on my Private Eye reading. Dies this snippet about the tactics of the corrupt government in Turkey remind you of anything?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social is very well read. I wonder has he seen this new title?

A bee's brain may be as small as a sesame seed, but it can recognize and remember human faces. Nature never ceases to amaze us. Every tiny creature plays a major role in our world. Protect bees, protect life, protect nature.

Why are we holding the football world cup in a failed state run by gangsters? Oh yes I forgot, its because FIFA are totally corrupt.

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of Streeting, but wealth taxes and rejoining the EU definitely get my vote.

🇪🇸SPAIN'S IRENE MONTERO GOES OFF ON EU VICE-PRESIDENT KALLAS: “Israel has been for 24 hours Kidnapping European Citizens And You’re SMILING?!” “What would you do if it were Iran? If it were Russia? But since it is ISRAEL, you smile and look the other way.” “Shame on you”

The message is clear: Muslims are fair game in this country.

It seems, for both Trump and Farage, that no matter how corrupt they are, no matter how many times they're found blatantly lying, no matter how much pain they inflict on those that support them - their cult followers will always find excuses for them.

We don't know who will be Prime Minister in a few months: Keir Starmer, Andy Burnham or someone else entirely. But we do know one thing. Recent events have made it more clear than ever that the UK's voting system is not working. Sign and share our letter if you agree👇

Burnham is proving that his principles are for sale to voters, just like Starmer, Johnson et al. It never ends well.

This gave me chills. Watch.

Immigration make Britain brilliant

Harrison Ford’s commencement address.

According to our media pretty much everyone supports Reform UK Ltd now… Which comes a surprise to the 73% that don’t 🤷🏻‍♀️

Big demo, London #standuptoracism

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share. *one voice altered to disguise identity

I am more worried about Israel having nuclear weapons than I am with Iran have them. Iran doesn’t seem to be motivated by ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Police commence fingertip search for any scrap of evidence to prove Farage once actually told the truth at this very spot, at 4.31pm on Tuesday 15th of June 2007.. Although it may have been 5.58am Saturday 5th of Jan 1998 or noon Thursday 7th April 1989 As his story keeps changing as usual 🤥

Ain’t that the truth?

Nigel Farage is a GRIFTER - pass it on.

Harborne gave the Brexit Party £6 million in 2019 and was mentioned in the Panama Papers but luckily the UK has the memory of a goldfish... so nobody talks about that

Just so that I am clear. This morning's line is that Farage damaged the economy of the whole country, so he could get a £5m bung? How very patriotic. No wonder so many people whose lives have been impoverished by brexit want to vote for him.

"I once said I was given £5 million for my security, then a few days later said it was a reward for Brexit"
