Starmer absolutely excoriates Trump in what might be the harshest condemna…only joking he’s waiting to be told what to say by Trump, who also seems to have forgot he existed. bsky.app/profile/pete...

L'administration Trump annonce que Maduro est accusé notamment "de complot en vue de commettre des actes de narcoterrorisme". Ironie du sort, Trump vient de gracier l’ex-président du Honduras Juan Orlando Hernandez, qui purgeait aux Etats-Unis une peine de 45 ans pour pour trafic de drogue...

Piss on earth, more like

In which the Vice-President of the European Commission effectively condones what Trump did. Cowardly and shameful! Maduro's lack of legitimacy is no excuse for what Trump did. International Law and the UN Charter are in tatters right now.

What is gonna be your response when the US does this exact same thing to Greenland, I wonder.

Three weeks ago President Trump, "They took away our oil rights, they threw our companies out, we want it back"

The only thinking Russia and China are going to do is to conclude that "unorthodox" attacks on other countries are perfectly fine (not that Putin didn't know that already)

Europe and the UK’s decision to appease Trump was a moral disaster. He’s a far-right bully waging war with the world and our response has been insipid, supine acceptance.

Fair warning, everyone (and perhaps particularly Greenland and Ayatollah Khameni): I'm off to yoga...

Some impressive facts on green energy

“Venezuela has the largest reserves of oil on the planet. For years, I was BBC Television’s correspondent covering Venezuela & US attempts to overthrow their elected government. Trump invented nothing. This is at least the 4th US-backed attempt at overthrow & assassination of a Venezuelan president”

No notes

It was the 3rd of January he randomly bombed Iran too, I remember because it was my birthday weekend, and then obviously tried a coup on the 6th the next year, think this might just be his natural reaction to the end of the Christmas season & running out of Quality Streets

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

To be fair that went bang in 2014, when Putin "annexed" Crimea

If he carries on like this it's going to make the FIFA Peace Prize look ridiculous

You go to Sainsbury for the weekly shop and when you come back Trump has abducted another head of state... Is it how it's going to be, 2026?!

And this is only 3 January... *le sigh*

*In purely military terms* capturing Maduro after only a small strike seems… astonishingly successful. And I’m sure the ensuing power vacuum and shattered international norms will work out completely fine too!!

America is such a fucked up rogue state.

"It's the economy, stupid" is Clinton, not Bush #r4today

It’s a dark night when you look at the news and are forced to admit that you no longer believe in the power of the FIFA peace prize

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

A not insignificant chance that this sort of military aggression actually further solidifies Maduro's position.

Are those people drunk? She was the first *female* British astronaut, shirley? It's not a TV programme, it's radio #r4today

2026 is certainly starting with a bang (or two) Happy new year, indeed(!) #r4today

That sigh from Doucet... #r4today

Good morning to all the "I voted for Trump because I wanted America out of all those wars abroad" people.

Wrong type of fireworks, Donald, for new year! #r4today

London in the good old days - before everyone's feet pointed forwards.

And yet, an incredible number of our academic, policy, and media colleagues continue to spend all of their time there, every day. One cannot but help draw conclusions.

there’s even a community note on posts about this saying that grok’s statements aren’t reflective of the company … ??? we are just shrugging away what should be a global outrage

"I stayed on Twitter through Nazi-ism and the owner causing 600,000 Africans to die so if you think a bit of child pornography is going to get me to leave you are barking up the wrong tree my friend" Some people apparently

Not just Farage, but the Tories, and Keir "island of strangers" Starmer too

Not only that, they've also managed to make their talking points an obsession for the mainstream media and politicians, thus feeding their panics It is a small, unpopular movement by and large but it's been given incredible agenda setting power for various reasons and that is extremely concerning

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.

#r4today appears to be discussing children's books without involving Frank Cottrell-Boyce?! Is this legal?

It shouldn't be an either/or situation. Yes palliative care should be made as good as it can be, but people should also be able to decide to die however they want #r4today

The BBC has really been milking the content of that May-edited #r4today HARD (still is it seems)

Jesus christ. Take some responsibility. When admitting a crime, don't put the words n the mouth of a slop bot. These people are the absolute depths of depravity.

Housebuilders have been lobbying against the inclusion of batteries which would cost an estimated £2,000-5,000 for each new home but... savings on an average 3-bed, semi-detached home from a heat pump, solar panels and batteries would be roughly £1,350 a year. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

National Year Of Reading goallin.org.uk #R4Today

This supposed government insider sounds very naive when he tells us government should only focus on whatever policies it is interested in; and somehow ignore external pressures and priorities? Is that it is? #r4today

Jan 1: this is the year of new Me Jan 12: [eating shredded cheese directly from the bag] new years resolutions are a bourgeois construct for disciplining bodies into productive units for capital

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

This feels very British

I’m a *lot* fed up with the constant gaslighting about what this Labour government has been like. I’d love a good Labour government. I’d be right behind it - if it stopped the xenophobic bollocks, started treating disabled people with respect etc etc. Currently, Starmer is Farage’s best recruiter

Have to love France24 reporting: 'Former reality TV star Trump was the first US president to host the awards gala... Since returning to office in January, the 79-year-old Republican has launched a forceful takeover of the center, branding it too "woke" and installing himself as chairman...'
