FFS! When the US went to the polls, just over half of those who voted decided to shit the bed 🙄 Reminds me of Brexit, where 52% of UK voters proverbially shat the bed & two countries were taken out of the EU against their vote.

If this is true... this will be the most depraved and evil things either #Trump or #Musk, has done so far... ever I truly hope it is fake. Or at worst a passing comment or vague hint at best

The author reminds us of “the “smoky room experiment”. In this study, when a person is alone in a room that begins to fill with smoke, three-quarters raise the alarm within minutes. Yet, when surrounded by others who remain passive, only 10% take action. This is the “bystander effect”,

Altar Mitty will be looking for a route back to the UK. I have a lilo, a John Bull repair kit and a winfield jnr cricket set he can borrow to paddle across the Atlantic.

Liz Truss tries her hand at stand up comedy with predictable results.

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

“EU deal will fuel growth — and Labour is listening…This would mean the UK would recover between a quarter and a half of Brexit’s economic hit to UK GDP, which the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has calculated at minus 4 per cent by 2030.” archive.ph/2025.02.09-0...

The search for Nigel Farage in Clacton enters its 32nd week.

So, Farage struts around on stage in the US, slagging off the UK and the EU, blaming anything but Brexit for us being poorer and unhappier and crawling up Trump’s backside… What a repulsive spectacle he is. If you actually could be put in prison here for ‘saying anything’ he’d be my top pick.

And these are the mass graves, in a forest outside Izium, where occupying Russian forces dumped the bodies of the civilians they murdered. 445 bodies were retrieved by the Ukrainian troops who liberated Izium. To witness this scene, in a European country in 2025, shook me to my core.

We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

For THE LOVE OF GOD, stop taking money from RUSSIANS. We don’t want our politicians OWNED BY RUSSIA. It’s not rocket science & surely by now, we should know better. If you agree, repost.

We've had reports that M&S has had so many calls asking them to stop advertising with GB News that there's now a dedicated team handling messages about this issue 👏👏👏 Lines are open from *9am to 4pm* today and the number is 0333 014 8000 Let's keep this going!

Unbelievable, from the man who did more than anyone else to give Douglas Murray's explicit white ethnonationalism a platform and a bridge to the UK mainstream. archive.ph/LMDiX

General Sir Nick Carter, "Donald Trump has been treating his allies like enemies" "Many of us are feeling deeply uncomfortable about some of the rhetoric" "There's only one thing worse than fighting alongside allies, it's fighting without allies.. Trump needs to remember that"

Europe's politicians are openly discussing how they could tackle the threat of nuclear attack without American help, in a dramatic sign of the deep crisis engulfing the transatlantic alliance under Donald Trump. www.politico.eu/article/euro...

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)

We went to a really nice pub in Cornwall. Been there many times but never again. That picture of Farage and Trump with their thumbs up was behind the bar and the landlady came down and started talking about how she loves him. He's caused more harm to businesses in Cornwall than any other person

This is, by some distance, the most unforgivably stupidest thing the government is doing. An easily sellable proposal, which would actually help Brits, and unlocks meaningful negotiation. Irrational and anti-growth.

Cooper tying herself up in knots and Philips not good enough to call that out. If rejoining SM + CU are your red lines, you’ll have the highest barriers to trade and the most red tape. Only alignment and greater cooperation (on, say, youth mobility) reduces that slightly. Tired of the lies, Yvette.

“No return to the customs union, to the single market or to free movement and that remains the case” says Home Secretary Yvette Cooper It’s simply impossible to reconcile the governments stubborn & entrenched position on Brexit with its policy of “growth, growth, growth”

22 years ago today, we rolled off the night boat to live permanently in France. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine imbeciles like this would ruin the chance of others doing likewise. Listen and weep for your country. It's no longer mine.

A little known part of the British constitution is that this headline must appear in a newspaper at least once a year.

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.

Getting real close to a billion posts

Jo Ellis has just posted this video on Facebook, confirming to be a "Black Hawk pilot with Virginia National Guard" and not - as many viral social media posts had claimed - linked to the Black Hawk helicopter involved in the crash in Washington DC.

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

Excellent advice.
