Malania to distract from the war The war to distract from Epstein Epstein to distract from corruption Corruption to distract from sedition Sedition to distract from impeachment... This isn't 5D Chess. This is Gobshite Whack-a-Mole

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

🚨NEW POLL: Most Americans Believe Trump Launched Iran War to Cover Up Epstein Scandal An exclusive Drop Site/Zeteo/Data For Progress survey also finds likely American voters are split on whether Trump is more responsive to the American people or to Israel.

You'll get more relevant facts and incisive analysis in this 30 minute episode, than in a whole week of watching the national news. If you prefer your opinions to come from experts, this is the podcast for you.

Surely saving the BBC World Service would be an easy win for Starmer

Left: Zia Yusuf, "Mandelson deserves to be in jail. The buck stops with the executive, Keir Starmer is a disgrace to his office and should resign" Right: Nathan Gill is in jail for accepting Russian bribes. Using Zia Yusuf's logic, isn't Nigel Farage also a disgrace, and should also resign?

@quietriotpod.bsky.social Just listening to another fab edition of Quiet Riot... When @mrkennycampbell.bsky.social used the phrase, "Stripping his lordship", was I alone in the seeing the ghastly mental image of Mandelson in his Y-fronts? 😱

Hoping Matt Goodwin loses Gorton and Denton for many reasons, not least because we can deploy the headline, and resulting nickname, Matt Badloss

@iandunt.bsky.social You've probably been sent this by lots of people, but if we all assumed this then no-one would have sent it to you, so here goes. I thought you would be especially impressed by the #1 dog. I feel that the bar has been raised for Thanos... youtube.com/shorts/dsBQ4...

@iandunt.bsky.social Looks like you can "hit the radio waves" after all, although it reached peak popularity over a decade ago, so your fear was not totally unfounded 🤓 Just listening to your latest podcast. Interesting listening, both from a writer's standpoint & from a point of empathy.

Yes! Yes! Yes! 👇This is so important, but so many people seem to miss it!

"But we must compete with the oth-" That's just it. You don't. You are THE public broadcaster. No other body shares your mission. Why add to the noise? The BBC has an opportunity to say "you've heard all the breathless gossip - tune in at 6pm for the facts". To bring light rather than heat.

Just finished the latest episode of QR, and may I be the first to nominate Mr Andreou as the new BBC Head of News? Alex, your idea to have the corporation abandon its frantic and frazzling rolling 24hr news output in favour of a more poised and measured approach hits several nails on the head.

@sturdyalex.bsky.social I made the unhappy acquaintance of the Daily T podcast earlier today. Is it just my imagination, or are Tim Stanley and Camilla Tominey determined to rewrite the history of January 6th? They seem to think Trump had little or nothing to do with the attack on the Capitol 🤦🏻‍♂️

Farage: epic grifter

‘I’ve no idea.’ Yep - that’s Farage & reform in a nutshell.

Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.

BREAKING NEWS: TYLENOL RESEARCHERS FIND DISTURBING LINK BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN

@lbc I haven't been able to listen to LBC live for many months. Imagine my glee, therefore, when I get to hear @mrjamesob.bsky.social doing live commentary of Marine One landing at Windsor Castle 😁 @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social Get O'Brien back to do the commentary on all state occasions 🤓

This is a thoughtful, persuasive piece that needs to be widely read. In the current scenario we need more people speaking out like this, illuminating rather than generating more heat.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Should we follow Putin out of the ECHR? Or is it just another Brexit where we give up our rights in the vain pursuit of making migrants disappear?

This just came on over my headphones while I was doing some manual work and before I had a chance to put on the podcast I'd been intending to listen to, I was hooked! Well worth a listen, imho 😁

The cruelty is the point. The banal, vicious, performative cruelty. Turns out ‘anti-woke’ just meant anti-decency, anti-humanity & anti-rule of law.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

‘Weak beef’ deserves more pick-up.

Musk is currently sharing Illuminati Satanist conspiracy theories in between libelling Gordon Brown. There comes a tipping point and he's way beyond it.

I listen to a ton of podcasts. I appreciate that you cover parts of the UK - for example Northern Ireland - which, as far as other shows are concerned, barely appear to exist. You are both calm and funny. You have pulled off the trick of being very well informed but, crucially, accessible. Bravo.

There's just one problem with Nigel Farage’s plan: Elon Musk is a fool and he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about inews.co.uk/opinion/just...

I'm sure that Manchester City's recent record is where we used to go on holiday in Wales.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Evening squire, just joining you over here, as per your Xitter request...

Don’t sleep on this one. Hoover it up. Every second is time well spent 🎧👇
