@sturdyalex.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social any idea why news channels this evening haven’t mentioned Farridge and the £5m?

@channel4news.bsky.social great show, and I know there's a lot of news at the moment.... but disappointed you didn't cover Farridge and the £5m??

Absolutely 💯 and I hope @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social is listening.

A must read. And then an absolutely must share. With as many people as possible.

Local Election Results 2026: Morgan McSweeney’s ‘Blue Labour’ Legacy Lives On Keir Starmer's former adviser's strategy of focusing on Reform-sympathetic 'hero voters', whilst spurning Labour's natural supporters on the left, has led to a disastrous set of local election results for the party,…

How informed are Reform UK's new hopefuls about their own party? Chris Atkins set up a fake channel, 'Patriot News UK,' and engaged in some mild subterfuge to find out.

Thanks to Brexit, Nigel Farage was one of the architects of an immigration system he now claims to loathe - and we shouldn’t let him forget it

So there are crazy headlines, and then there are "I'm sorry WTAF now?" headlines...😳 Yes, the Telegraph have deduced that Ed Miliband hates mothers because of some new legislation making tumble dryers more efficient and cheaper to run! 🧵 1/24

A Reddit user has meticulously kept a diary of Trump’s daily victory claims. It should form part of every historical archive on the planet. Brace yourself, here goes 🧵👇

There's a nice #Artemis II mission tracker here: artemis.cdnspace.ca LOTS of data about its current position, crew activities, and whether or not the toilet is currently "Go"

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee. What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

What a lovely story 🐾🫶

Again, why is unelected Reform chair one of the political guests on @bbclaurak.bsky.social ? #BBCLauraK

Incredible substance here from @chrischirp.bsky.social. The 2nd wave of COVID-19 in the UK was a) devastating and b) avoidable. Take time to play the clip of Prof Kevin Fong who breaks down when describing the scale of death and its impact on ICU staff. christinapagel.substack.com/p/the-uk-cov...

Of course I already knew about the water companies, but bloody hell #dirtybusiness if you haven’t seen it, watch it. Surely something must be done @channel4.bsky.social www.channel4.com/programmes/d...

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I don't know how to clip a segment (sorry), but the bit I really want you to watch starts at 29'10". It's about the deep roots of the attack on Iran and why it's just as well Starmer is "no Winston Churchill". I'm surprised this aspect isn't more widely discussed. 🧵 www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Latest in @theatlantic.com . In only a few days, there are small but worrying signs that the corruption and incompetence of the Trump administration is affecting US military and diplomatic power. A fish rots from the head down. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Isabel Oakeshott: anti-migration commentator, economic migrant to Dubai, possible future evacuee of the very British state she insists is broken. Isn’t it funny how mobility becomes acceptable when it’s your own?

I recently discovered something that has markedly improved my experience of daily life: if you Google something and add “-ai” after the search term, it gives you search results without the AI overview

Yes @carolinelucas.bsky.social 👏👏

😂

The Elections Bill is really very thin on political finance. Some loopholes closed, some warm words, but still unlimited political donations. That's why we're working with @38degrees.bsky.social to call for a cap on donations Please sign and share: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’ 1/

I agree, but especially with this:

In case you missed it. I’ve watched this about 10 times already. I can tell I’m a luvvie at heart because a part of me genuinely thinks that this should be played every time anyone in Reform makes a speech.

Who on earth is this on @lbc.co.uk @tomswarbrick.bsky.social ??

I think a contributory factor to the absolute mess we find ourselves in, is that most so called journalists react like Pam, instead of, you know, actual proper journalism and holding power to account. You can hear it in their breathless reporting.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Seems a good time to re-share this petition, if you haven't signed already petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk it might help (a tiny bit) if the press, after reporting what the US admin actually say, follow with a simple “and that is clearly a lie, for these reasons”.

When Trump lied and slandered European troops by saying that they avoided the front lines in Afghanistan, it was no mistake. It was a deliberate attempt to run down NATO in American eyes, to try and condition the American people to accept the end of the alliance.

@snellarthur.bsky.social @sturdyalex.bsky.social help us understand why the US aren’t making this stop?

@lbc.co.uk @mrjamesob.bsky.social I had my lip split open by a table tennis bat when I was about 8 yrs old. Knocked out a tooth, and I needed stitches. Still have the scar. My next door neighbour threw it at his brother but missed!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social apparently Farridge is on Times Radio today, for 'alternative PMQs'

Good Morning and welcome to another episode of regime change by the USA. The US seems to be militarily trying to get rid of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro right now. There are reports of US ground forces in action. However, watch the Cubans too. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Absolutely this 👇

I’ve been quieter than usual this week due to a weird mix of work commitments and falling asleep on the sofa at every opportunity. In my defence, I may have overcorrected by writing the mother of all year-end posts. This is fair warning, it is long - but, then again, so was 2025.

Chatted to my great uncle yesterday – a northern, working-class guy, not that political. I told him my job involved exposing Farage. His first question was: “who funds him?” Investigations into Farage’s donors can have a major impact on Reform’s support – as this research has already shown 👇

Letter to the FT that stingingly sums up Brexit and the shit creek we now find ourselves in. A terrible idea (naive, prejudiced and uninformed) that has deeply divided us and left us poorer and less secure… but unwilling to face up to the damage we’ve done to ourselves. While the EU moves on.

BBC News report the birth of a rhino calf at the Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens 😍

"You've let me down, you've let the squadron down... and worst of of all you've let yourself down."

🔴If Nigel Farage’s Racism Is Forgotten It Will Give Him Permission for Far Worse When someone tells you who they are, over and over again, it is wise to listen, argues @labourlewis.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/12/10/n...

🔴Rachel Reeves and the Daily Mailification of the BBC For all the focus on its supposed “left wing bias”, the BBC’s heavy coverage of allegations of dishonesty against Rachel Reeves shows how its political coverage is still largely led by the right-wing press bylinetimes.com/2025/12/01/r...

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social why is no one talking about Brexit????

Sorry @bbclaurak.bsky.social, but why is Zia Yusuf a guest today? He's not even an elected politician.
