@washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com @cnn.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy Why won't you call a spade a spade? Others can. We all can see it. Stop pretending any of this is normal. IT'S NOT NORMAL.

If you need to loudly proclaim your faith you don't have any. No true person of faith of any sort would have any hand, act or part in the Trump administration or support his, Putin's and Netanyahu's gross violations of human decency.

Tough. The nation's need for clean, renewable, independent energy trumps your little idylli.

"Farage says attacking critics of immigration as racist 'doesn't work anymore'" No it doesn't - because they don't care or have to hide it anymore. 15.30 GMT on this live blog.

Tech companies and their clients need to be bound by the same product and public liability rules for using their untested products as widget makers. The public realm is not a laboratory or testing ground.

This.

Well, if this ain't looting your own country, stealing from taxpayers and a bid to transfer wealth from the poor to the elite I don't know what is.

FFS...80s is the new 60s if you can choose when you work at well paid jobs swanning about TV studios. Not if you are an 80 year old brickie or warehouse worker or in any job that requires you to turn up every day for low wages.

There is a world of difference between agreeing something is unacceptable and biting the hand thet feeds you and doing something about it. Useless platitudes from Vance, and Lammy should have pressed him for actions.

Hi, @bsky.app Any chance you could make the left/right arrow to scroll through images on a post more transparent?

That's how to show the true Christian spirit of Christmas, bullying primary school staff and pupils into shutting down their Christmas show. They are scum of the earth! I hope they are proud of themselves, spoiling the end of the year for these children and denying them their show.

This is why we need the equivalent of Ireland's Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) with the power to seize personal assets derived from criminal acts (subject to a court order, on the balance of probability and even if they have been gifted away). Fraudulently marking goods as CE is a criminal act.

So it's not a peace plan or a deal or a negotiation, it's an ultimatum from the aggressor* and their enabler promising even more aggression if their terms are not met. *Israel went from being the victim of Oct 7 to being outright aggressors months ago.

Gotta love patriots, particularly the inclusive ones, caring enough about the union of the kingdom to fly the flags of the four nations of the UK. 🇮🇪 - Really? I can imagine some Ulster loyalists will be tad upset.

This is looking like Hemmingway's bankruptcy, it started gradually and now it's got to the suddenly bit. Two minutes hate and the Thought Police coming your way soon.

Who'd have thought Brazil could teach the home of freedom and democracy a lesson In what should happen to those that try to overturn democratic outcomes and raise insurrections.

Why is @theguardian.com jumping on this band wagon. And @theguardian.com there is an error re SDLT. It is charged depending on how many properties you already own. Not if it's the primary or secondary residence - which is not declared when paying SDLT. This undermines your whole section 1.

Farage is a traitor to the state of the United Kingdom and to the very notion of being British and what being British means.

I for one would rather the fox was not consulted on the design of the fence around the chicken coop.

“The Greens, DUP, Plaid Cymru, and UUP have 13 peers between them but Reform UK has none." These parties have shown over decades that they are not a flashes in the pan unlike all of Farage's previous parties, so to entrench Refom's position with life peerages is madness.

Thank you Mr King. I can't say any more.

Thankfully, when we found the only place in Paris that dogs weren't welcome and the original Olddog, Mrs Andgrump and I got chipped off the Arc de Triomphe by some burly CRS there were no camera phones to stoke social media outrage.

No it shouldn't. It's giving in to the mob. Someone's immigration status is irrelevant to the investigation and reporting of a crime. We all know this will become a rallying cry for the far right to bully and harass minorities.

Donald Kim Jung Trump. Welcome to North Korean style government.

An extraordinary thing for the holder of the office of POTUS to say. People are not property to be stolen. And he "thinks" the highest profile victim worked for him. If after all this time he doesn't know for sure one way or the other shows an astonishing lack of curiosity - or he's lying...again.

I've just watched footage of Trump getting off AF1. He is such a sourpuss. Just looking at him you know there are no positive thoughts going through his head. Just hate, spite and bile.

Oh feck off Trump. It's been six months and you are just boring now. You've lost the room. Be a serious politician or STFU.

The state of Israel and its defence forces are no better than the Nazi party and the SS in WW2 ghettos. I know they lost people on Oct 7th, but the children and innocent Gazans don't deserve the punishment beating being meted out for the last 20 months.

He's like an arsonist with a firehouse. Can we just give him a replica Nobel Peace Prize so he can stop starting wars to announce ceasefires in? Or maybe get his inner circle to do to him what the Portuguese did to Salazar.

Please someone tell me political party operatives with no publicly position can't sack public employees for following policy and data protection rules and refusing to hand over protected data to private parties?

100% agree, unlock funds, let councils build the homes they need to clear their waiting lists and put nimbys and BTL landlords back in their box. We've had 40 odd years of the private sector prioritising profits over housing and nimbys objecting on spurious grounds.

Oh wow! What a take to have - starving Gazans is saving them from bad food choices!

I wouldn't trust Trump to pay me for something if I was face to face with him. Noone who leaves without the cash in their pockets will see a dime, never mind $1,000. In fact - I wouldn't trust them to not take the air fare out of their bank accounts after they've left.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social @chazelgrovemp.bsky.social I didn't vote Labour to get Reform. Please be the social democratic party you are and stop dancing to Reform's tune.

So long as motorists are sanctioned to the same degree for every death they cause. It takes a high degree of deliberate negligence for a driver to be jailed for life for life.

First line in a lie. In any agricultural food trade deal the US has concluded, local food labelling laws have been amended to stop country of origin being displayed so not only will chlorinated chicken not be labelled as chlorinated, it won't even be labelled as US chicken.

Rowing with a priest? Someone's going to have his name read from the alter on Sunday...and Easter Sunday at that!

Seeing as ethnic cleansing is his contribution to the Gaza ceasefire I wouldn't hold out much hope if I were Ukrainian.

So we should act like a beaten puppy? Fuck that. We'll only be offered the shitty end of the stick by Trump. I'd rather we were poor and have our dignity intact than give an inch to Trump and be poor anyway. We'll

I don't know how many US followers I have, but this is worth a listen and a share.

Good - for years the drinks industry has refused to acknowledge or mitigate their role in the rise of obesity, resisting efforts to put warnings and nutritional info on bottles all the while glamourising consumption of a highly calorific product.

I'd say that is one of the least surprising places for Musk to make an appearance...birds ofa feather. Surprised Trump could spare him.

Another Reform MP talking the talk but not walking the walk when it comes to devoting themselves to their constituency. Hopefully other parties will jump all over this come election time.

The only proven way to make housing affordable is to build more homes. Easing mortgage rules only encourages buyers to over extend and bid up prices. Did we learn nothing in '08? www.theguardian.com/money/2025/j...

Black kettles and pots and rats in sacks spring to mind. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Reform has zero members. It has subscribers. Membership infers a benefit such as electing officers and committee members, partaking in decision making or sharing profits. Reform is a private limited company with one decision maker.

I hope the UK govt tell Farage to fuck off and concentrate on his day job. He has never acted in the UK's best interest. You can be 100% sure any UK-US deal with his paw prints on it will shaft UK workers, consumers, business and farmers. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
