NBC News: “How soon will elections be held in Venezuela? Within 30 days?” Rubio: “Elections? I think it is premature at this point.” The US is going to be there for the long haul.

First Venezuela, next Greenland? You don't suck up to bullies like Trump, he will just see it as a sign of weakness. Keir Starmer needs to get on the phone to our European allies including the Danish PM, and show a united front against Trump's threats.

Yorkshire Water boss said "not being transparent" about receiving £1.3m payments from the parent company was a "mistake". They carefully planned to circumvent the rules, civil society exposed it. No retribution Customer fleecing, sewage dumping continues for bigger profits and exec bonuses

I genuinely didn’t think the first piece I was going to write this year was discussing the invasion of Venezuela by the United States and the country’s apparent handover to oil companies, but I suppose we are where we are. Welcome to 2026, I suspect it’s going to be… interesting. 🐻

Buddy, hope left the building, went to lunch, had 4 margaritas and a bloody mary, got into a fight with the server, was tossed through a window, severed an artery, had its leg amputated, spent three nights in ICU, got divorced, defaulted on the mortgage, and is living in a van down by the river

@helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social Serious consideration needs to be made about leaving that site. It's dangerous. I know you said you need to be where the constituents can reach you, but this place is free to join, so there's really no excuse for any decent MP now, no matter the party.

Amazing what someone will do to stop people talking about the Epstein files

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

38 degrees is a pia - sign a petition & they spam you forever more. I'd never use them again

Happy Friday, Wulfie ❄️🎊

The number one thing for Labour and Labour fans is to stop being so bloody stubborn and arrogant. You’re in the shit. You need to change. That means, just for once, listen to the critics rather than telling us we’re wrong.

Blojo’s book is now cheaper than lavatory roll 🤣 seems he’s been releashed 🤭 Happy 2026 people

Let’s be clear about it. It’s not that Labour’s message hasn’t been positive enough, it’s that it’s been actively negative and deeply damaging.

Happy New Year you lovely people. A reminder that 2026 should be the year you leave X (if you haven’t already!)

Farage going all out for the locals this May… spending millions to con voters into believing he’ll fix what he made sure he broke. Pleased that his base likes his racism. Strutting around in his brexity soiled pants like the big I am. Please let’s bin him off now. www.thetimes.com/article/04be...

Jeez. This is completely insane given the disastrous impact Farage and his championing of Brexit has had on UK farming www.fwi.co.uk/news/farm-po...

😡🇺🇸😡🇺🇸😡🇺🇸😡🇺🇸 So I asked Chat GP: is Donald Trump a criminal? This was its answer. So my follow-up question to Americans: The evidence was out there. So WHY …. Just …. WHY? #trump

Iranian security forces have opened fire on protesters in Lordegan.

This is both entirely correct and misses the point completely, which is that the 'online weirdos" are effectively writing Conservative and Reform policy & have significantly influenced the government's own worst and most xenophobic policies. Trump should have taught us not to laugh this stuff off.

My new year's resolution is to write a 1 star review for every company that keeps pestering me to leave a review with the title "this company keeps spamming me to leave a review "

Another Reform UK Councillor gone… Former council leader quits council

I’m gonna make myself a proper drink to see in the New Year, which for me will begin at about 08:00 tomorrow. May your spirit never falter and your God go with you, whatever your beliefs. Take care Wülferhamptonians. Sound up. You can spare two and a half minutes. 🥃 youtu.be/uUK-8M3Vhzc?...

2025 Awards: Racist of the year: Farage Incompetents of the year: Reform run councils Traitor: Nathan Gill, Reform Grifter: Farage Most ruinous policy of the year: Brexit (9th year running) New Year’s resolution for 2026: Not having these howling failure monkeys leading in the polls.

At midnight 2026 is going to walk into the party and say "Hold my Beer". 🤨🫤😬

I’ve just read our meal plan for the week. Wednesday is Salmon + paella. At first glance I read it as Salmonella. Hope not. 🤨🤢

So a couple things about this.

OK UK followers, here's the link to tell that Tangoed Twat in the Whitehouse what you think of him insisting our supermarkets stock American chlorinated chicken. Go for it!! www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

And to mark the end of this year and the coming one some verse.

This is the 7th person whose sentence was commuted by Trump that has been rearrested on new charges. And don't pretend Trump cares about fraud in MN. This guy bilked over a $1 billion and Trump let him go.

Ukrainian drones are attacking the Kushchyovskaya military airfield in Krasnodar Krai. #explodey

The American trolls on Substack can get so… weird.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

How shit at business do you have to be, to be personally worth 37,000 times the amount an average UK worker will earn in a LIFETIME, and still be incapable of withstanding a tiny tax increase?

Miniature musical instrument makers admit defeat as violin size requirement for story is declared "too small to build."

James Dyson is a traitor, pass it on...

Speaking as someone who not only grew up and lives in rural devon, but who also attended a rural boarding school, I can only say this: I have not yet met a hunt member I would trust, and not just because they hunt. They're basically biker gangs on horseback.

You've heard of The Elf on the Shelf...

🙄💥🙄💥🙄💥🙄💥 Queen of Radical Leftist scum here, wishing all friends a good Boxing Day. FUUUUUCK TRUMP!

WOOOOOOOHHOOOOOOOOO! Just made it to 3000 YES 3000 followers today. Blimey. 🍾🥂🎉🥳 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Terrier related announcement. Mrs C has gone to work. Shift swap for double time 👍 I am in bed chatting shit and drinking tea. Ember has been replaced by a lump under the throw. Which creature is snoring ever so gently. ❤️😍

BREAKING: Donald Trump says the United States has conducted “numerous” strikes in Nigeria

Reform council’s plan to shut eight care homes ‘a betrayal of local people’

can't pretend I particularly care about Christmas but you lot may enjoy the fact that this French-Moroccan household will be having a beef tagine and a gratin dauphinois later

Just a reminder: you are NOT unusual, weird, or unlovable if you have: - no one to see on Christmas Day, - no presents, or - no contactable relatives. Very few people live the idealised version on TV. Those of us who live differently—whether by choice or trauma—matter as much.

Thinking of everyone, especially in the LGBT+ community, estranged from their parents; I hope you have made your own family with someone who loves you. Warm thoughts to you today from all at Maugham Towers.
