I cannot overstate how completely insane this story is

Reform are the party of the super-rich, and tonight they were only too happy to brag about it. Greens will tax the wealthy to invest in the public services we all rely on.

It was Bear Grylls

Màiri says what we’re all thinking👇

Nigel Farage, Reform’s leader, asked by Sun about rise of Greens "I don’t see the Green vote as being working people. I see the Green vote as being ethnic minorities. Many who don't speak English. Many who have foreign passports, but are still allowed to vote for reasons that are totally beyond me"

Welcome to the gays just tuning in! It was never just the T they were interested in!

I'm Jewish. I condemn genocide. I condemn the Labour Governments role in the Genocide. The Prime Minister repeatedly conflating criticism of the Israeli Governments genocide and actual antisemitism is disgusting - and makes so many of us as Jewish people feel less safe.

No words

For those who missed it: this was the moment The Strokes ensured they’ll never be invited back to Coachella again! I'm so proud of them

"No pressure existed whatsoever" on the FCDO to appoint Mandelson, Keir Starmer tells the House of the Commons. And that, I think, is gonna be a big big hostage to fortune.

Margaret Hodge, who was given a peerage by Keir Starmer, says there's nothing wrong with cronyism. Hodge is currently the governments official anti corruption champion.

Not to be a broken record, but why on earth is Ed Balls there interviewing his wife's work colleagues about a scandal involving the government department she currently runs?

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened. Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah. (h/t @iainsol.bsky.social)

It's going to be even worse the next time they appoint Peter Mandelson

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

John Swinney interviewed by Grado. 🤣 youtu.be/1RuNg_lyPMM?...

Pete Kegsbreath delivered a Pentagon worship message. It wasn’t from the Bible. It was taken from Pulp Fiction. Quinton Tarantino & Roger Avery wrote it. Samuel L Jackson, just pretends it’s actual scripture from Ezekiel 25:17

For the second day, the BBC are running a story that presents itself as providing evidence of endemic abuse of the asylum system based on seemingly a single encounter with someone who is neither a lawyer nor a registered immigration adviser. Words fail. This is reprehensibly irresponsible.

An advert promoting an AI company at Bristol Airport has been pulled after backlash. The advert showed a female AI worker who will 'never ask for a raise'.

It’s genuinely staggering how little substance there is to today’s instalment of the BBC’s attempt to create a national crisis out of a few unproven allegations of immigration fraud 1/

Anyone who knows immigration bureaucracy will know that people who seek asylum because they are gay undergo hostile and humiliating scrutiny. Media reports that suggest people “pretend to be gay because it’s an easy route for a visa” are missing the glaring fact there is no “easy” way to get asylum.

OMG... I feel like that could be it... he’s such a f****** dimwit

The contrast between Sanchez's PSOE government in Spain and some other social democratic (led) governments in Europe (e.g. Labour in the UK, SD in Denmark) is really striking on migration issues www.bbc.com/news/article...

……

Three and half years ago, 21 Labour MSPs (including Anas Sarwar) voted to pass the Gender Recognition Reform Bill which would have granted self-ID rights (but the UK Tory government blocked it). Now, the anti-trans Scottish Labour want to eliminate trans integration, safety and privacy altogether.

"My friend." This is how our government greets those accused of war crimes. This is not diplomacy. It's debasement.

At Scottish Labour Conference in Feb 2025, a leadership-backed motion to adopt a transphobic policy on single-sex spaces in schools was defeated. Party members and affiliates voted it down. Today Scottish Labour's leadership put that transphobic policy into its manifesto for May's election anyway.

Last week, a worker one of Amazon's Portland area facilities died on the warehouse floor. Employees were told to look away and keep working. A new story by @ryanjhaas.bsky.social for @thewesternedge.bsky.social - reporting this news first. www.thewesternedge.media/p/everyone-i...

I don't know, guys. The president started a war with no plan and crashed the world economy, is building immense monuments to himself, is making billions off the presidency, and is now attacking the Pope while presenting himself as Jesus. Maybe the political class should abandon the inside voice.

Ridge: "do you agree with the [US] blockade?" Govt minister: "The US ambition is for the straits to be open.." ".. do you agree with the blockade?" "We want to see free navigation.." "Do you agree with the blockade?" Making yourself look stupid because you're not allowed to criticise the US

The fact the Labour Party, Tories and Reform all have specific policies to make it harder to come here and be a social care worker is absolutely disgraceful when this country is going through a social care crisis. #bbcdn

Two Weeks Ago Marco Rubio: “The people that run this country [Iran] are radical Shia clerics, these are religious fanatics.” Today Trump posts an image of himself as Jesus Christ Every accusation is a confession...🙄🙄🙄

Wes Streeting gets to decide Scotland's future, is that right

BREAKING: Strait of Hormuz shipping tolls would break law of the sea, argues Yvette Cooper who says it's not for her to judge if Israel is committing genocide

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen. By Emma Murphy, International Editor, ITV News. #Gaza

HEAVEN FORBID A MAN HAS A HOBBY

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

The Spain's Prime Minister and his official reaction to the #ceasefire this morning (translated from Spanish). "The Government of #Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket."

Absolutely exhausting, but also profoundly morally corrosive, to live like this.

The President of the USA declaring that "a whole civilisation will die tonight" is not something that arrives out of a vacuum. It is precipitated by the widespread international failure to hold USA, Israel, and their allies including the UK, accountable for their actions for many decades

The BBC just helped normalise nuclear extermination. This is insane.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

feel like as millennials we kept being told that sure, the economy was bad but at least we'd never had to spend any time in a world where it felt like major, global, maybe even nuclear conflict could erupt at any moment and well well well: who's laughing now

Someone should alert Nick Timothy that the President of America is praising on Allah – and on Easter Sunday too!
