'Yesterday was a moment of peril for the Prime Minister' Energy Secretary Ed Miliband tells #BBCBreakfast the Cabinet needs to 'focus on the country' rather than a 'chaotic leadership election' after the Scottish Labour leader called for Keir Starmer to resign

These are instruments of battle; if you ever get blasted in the face by a dozen of them from 8 feet away for half an hour because you’re on the front row for your valedictorian brother’s college graduation, you’ll be well reminded of it. I salute this dude 👇

There's a surprise ..... not! www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration. Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Major update: Members of Congress reviewed unredacted Epstein files. They confirmed Trump lied about a key part of his relationship with Epstein. They confirmed the DOJ redacted the names of up to 6 possible co-conspirators. Major developments. Spread the word.

That's not America today but you can also see parallels for Britain, particularly if Farage gets power.

😂 Brilliant

This is the report I spoke of on #bbcaq just now - ministers tried to suppress it, were finally forced to release it after an FoI, but shamefully only published a redacted version. The first duty of Govt is to protect its citizens - that starts with being honest with us about scale of threat we face

Doomscrolling break... After appearing on the show in October, Taylor Swift invited Graham Norton and all the guests that night, to star in her music video for Opalite

Insane Trump is holding back $18bn in funding for infrastructure in New York unless they rename Penn Station after him Penn (or Pennsylvania) Station is the main train hub in New York. It's been called Penn Station since it was built in 1910. It's the busiest station in the US.

No apology, no embarrassment and absolutely no honour. Trump is a racist and an abhorrant human being. You cannot delete racism. This is who Trump is.

So! Proof if you need it that huge numbers of people are signing up to join the Labour Party. Confirming what many of us are actively seeing online, here is Gail McDade from the Labour Party, confirming that more people hae sigend up to today than on any day since the 2024 general election.

Home Office says nearly 60,000 people deported from UK or left voluntarily since 2024 election

Read every word of that exchange. There is no doubt of their intention.

"It shows, frankly, how 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 Trump has become - and how low standards in American public life have sunk." Watch the moment Donald Trump snaps at a female reporter who dared ask him a question about Epstein victims… @maitlis.bsky.social | @lewisgoodall.com

Fair's fair. If it's good for POTUS it's good for all. Get suing.

Our media rightly rages about the already-disgraced Mandelson and Andrew but wrongly fails to hold others in that murky moneyed network to account. Our democracy is under attack from these dismal people right now. Do not be exposing that a decade too late. www.middleeasteye.net/news/steve-b...

“They were careless people… - they smashed up things… then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” Yes Mandelson. But don’t ignore what Farage et al did (and still do) to help them.

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed? That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

They executed Alex Pretti. They need to go to prison for life! No chance for parol!

Very rich people knew they'd not be affected by Brexit or MAGA. They have mobility and money. Just a game and a gamble.

Wow, that's amazing. Power to the people. Now shut Trump down!

Britain is not broken, perhaps wearing thin in parts, which parts depend on your point of view. But broken…no. Farage would like us to think so, and so would others on the right, they present broken and then tell you they’ll fix it. Britain doesn’t need fixing it needs to #rejoineu

By aligning with Putin, Netanyahu, Orban and co Trump betrays every single American who fought, bled and died for democracy! The shame will be forever his + those who stand with him! The damage will be ours and future generations to bear! You NEVER appease tyrants! F**k all who caved to him!

Okay, let me get this straight. ICE "officers" who murder US citizens are swept away without charges, but a protester attacked by an ICE officer bites her/his finger in self-defence is being charged. Is that correct? ground.news/article/grap...

Let's hope they strain Trump to breaking point. Time the world boycotted the USA & US goods. Trump needs to be taught a lesson.

As U.S. allies tilt towards China, they may get less than they hope for and strain ties with Trump even further.

There is no world, no scenario, no imaginable or unimaginable turn of events under which the Trump Administration will not end up regretting this stupefyingly idiotic arrest. Don Lemon today: "I will not stop now, I will not stop ever."

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (SOUND UP ) 🧵1 2 videos DAY 30 JANUARY 2026 NATIONAL DAY ICE OUT PROTEST It is with great pride ... So very proud of my Grandson and @cajunblue.bsky.social Children who attend the Univ of AZ They Marched from U of A to the city Thousands of them Side by side ICE OUT

This should piss everyone off, and our tax dollars paid for this. A massive building purchased by ICE for $70 million in Arizona to “warehouse” immigrants. Calling this “housing” is a lie. This is storage. This is treating human beings like inventory.

Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested. While a $300 million ballroom is constructed and a trash documentary released.

I won’t stop reporting the truth. The First Amendment is the bedrock of our democracy, and I’ll continue to fight to protect it 🤝🏾🇺🇸

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

It's clear that the only home for One Nation Tories is now the LibDems.

So #Tice (& #Farage) wants: No employment rights. No human rights. No income tax. No universal free healthcare. Massive gap between rich and poor. Still think it’s a good idea to #VoteReform? #ReformUK Ltd.

French site reports on Starmer in China without the pro-Deform spin.

"Kemi won’t be happy until she has completely destroyed her party’s credibility." In this regard she is indeed spawn of Johnson & all who followed after. Was it something they drank or perhaps they bathed in Thatcher's legacy of an island floating in sewage. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

All of our allies have all begun to move on from us. This is a huge trade deal & the United States gets absolutely none of it. Are we great again yet? Canada has left & now the EU. We are led by an idiot. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/a...

Our military budget is not a slush fund for the President to carry out his extreme agenda.

You can’t reform this. Throw the whole department away.

Ellison: "We have the right as a state, as a co-sovereign, to do our own business with our own tax money. What the federal govt has said is, 'if you don't do it our way, we're gonna saturate your state with 4,000 ICE agents until you cry uncle and obey us.' That's unconstitutional and illegal."

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

Oh God, what could possibly go wrong? Liz Truss “has thrown her backing behind Leconfield House, a new invitation-only club with a reported £500,000 joining fee for founding members, is teaming up with financier Robert Tchenguiz to launch the ultra-exclusive business in Curzon Street”

I find this nuts. Why, why try & block him? Have the courage of your convictions #Starmer, if you have any. If you're a better leader than Burnham, show us. Let him challenge if that's to be. If he proves better, bow out. Good leaders don't run scared. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
