A Knicks championship followed by the team rebuffing the White House and visiting the mayor would feed this city for centuries.

Ah, we have discovered his truest darkest secret

This is an unforgivably stupid situation. It is an astonishing own goal to try and drive student numbers down to move an immigration number that in turn is totally ignored by the anti-immigrant head bangers.

People lull themselves into thinking that Reform/Brexit Party/ ukip are some smart arse unstoppable political force. We tend to forget how deeply, deeply, deeply odd so many of them - even in the front lines - are.

Elon Musk continues to stir the pot of far right wing UK politics which is absolutely welcome because it splits their vote AND almost everyone in the UK hates Musk.

You don’t say.

Oppressing women is how authoritarianism begins. So listen to what Reform is saying | Zoe Williams

1/4 I really don't think Trump even understands what he is saying now. To suggest that Saudi Arabia and Iran might both join the Abraham Accords in the current political climate shows a level of detachment from regional reality that is difficult to fathom. #IranWar #Trum #FantasyDiplomacy

This is damning. As I said this morning, if Farage does not have evidence of a Russian hack, something which should trigger Cobra & a serious investigation, then he needs to apologise to the public and to genuine victims of this kind of violation www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

👇Top story on BBC NEWS. Is it because it's the SNP? Yet still silence on FARAGE's 5 MILLION!!!!!!😡😡😡

This is fucking scary. White supremacism being normalised.

I’ve been reading a lot about the end of the Roman republic recently, and the slide of that empire into imperial monarchy. The stamping of the leader’s face on coins, colossal statues and a reworking of the forum. But even Augustus didn’t build himself a ballroom-fortress.

Farage - 'I've been advised not to hold surgeries for security reasons' - He hadn't. Farage - 'There was an arson attack on my home' - It was an attempted burglary Farage - 'My phone was hacked by Russia' - No report made to the relevant authority. Could there be a pattern here...🤔

As we face an unprecedented May heatwave, please remember that globally we haven't any idea how many are killed by extreme heat. The given estimates may be a small fraction of the real total. A huge and shocking data gap, which illustrates rich world indifference. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Right: “We just really want migration reduced to sustainable levels.” Migration promptly falls off a cliff edge. Also the Right: “NO! NOT LIKE THAT!” Instead of celebrations, we got fannywobbles - and that tells you everything you need to know about the decades-long migration debate.

Nooo! Shut up you horrid blight on humanity. Do not jinx them.

This is what you get with (a) the collapse of social media moderation, (b) the radicalisation of conservative media and (c) politicians acting as if it's much worse to be called racist than to be racist. All the elite cues are dismantling the taboo and telling people it's OK

I've said it before but we need to somehow restore the social cost of racism. It's always been there but it's spreading at least partly because people aren't made to feel ashamed of it any more.

These "Enhanced games" sound like the sports day for washed up microdick blokes who go round telling everyone they are "alpha males". Apparently they think the Olympics are "elitist". Well, yeah, that's the point. Not for someone who thinks shooting up steroids is the same as years of training.

Farage claims his phone was hacked by Russia and that this highlights the “threat they pose to British security”. Which is odd because 7yrs ago he had the chance to strengthen laws against Russian interference but he voted against it, saying the claims were “baseless” The man is never, ever right.

“It is understood the National Cyber Security Centre is not aware of a report from Farage related to the alleged hack.” That’ll be because it’s all utter bollox. “Just how stupid would you like us to be, Mr Farage?” “Oh *that* stupid. Let’s see what we can do…” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Before people think this Trump surrender in Iran is a one off, remember: Trump negotiated the deal with the Taliban that lead to our shameful withdrawal.

Worth reading all of the decade-old article linked (& translated) here. Quite shaming for a lot of UK hacks happy to let him bullshit away to his heart’s content…

People saying that users prefer the bubble of BlueSky to the feral viciousness of Twitter - well...yes. In the same way I prefer a restaurant where the staff are nice and the food is good over one where they stab you with forks while serving bowls of cold piss.

This makes me feel physically ill, and despairing. We truly are regressing as a society. Literally no surprise to see that the far right are silent, they can’t grift on this.

The Kula Shaker defence! "In his late teens my husband briefly explored Buddhism & had a symbol tattooed on his arm… The tattoo was later covered because the symbol was frequently misunderstood & people incorrectly associated it with something entirely different from its original religious context."

Global warming? It's global warming, isn't it?

Follow the money. It’s all from far right US Christian backers. No coincidence Reform are now talking about anti abortion.

At 20:18, as the first riot broke out outside a Southport mosque — driven by a false name for the attacker — Kenyon was recruiting. He messaged a comedian with half a million followers: "Join Reform UK… we are the only chance we have of saving this Country." 7/12

Farage complaining that info on his five million pound bribe was leaked by Russian hackers is like complaining that your child sex dungeon was discovered by burglars.

Farage plans to ditch workers’ rights, cut the NMW, scrap the Equality Act, legalise discrimination, take us out of the ECHR and have a deregulation bonanza to remove our protections and make it easier to exploit and endanger us… for profit. He couldn’t give a shit about working people.

Restore is on 7% in that Makerfield constituency poll. I wrote this week why they're a threat that needs to be taken seriously. And why splitting the Reform vote isn't worth the normalisation of what is, in effect, a neo-Nazi party. samf.substack.com/p/is-andy-bu...

This looks like bullshit stenography to me. Glen Owen also ‘reported’ Farage’s lies about French police & a monoglot mechanic ‘telling him’ his car had been ‘tampered with’ in an ‘assassination attempt’ when he was trying to distract attention from something else. Also, Putin *wants* him to be PM!

We now know the REAL reason the pedophile psychopath is not attending his son's wedding.

Palantir shout not be anywhere near our NHS. Thiel is a heartless ghoul and simply terrifying. Streeting should be duly shamed for this.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

A Reform Party MP is being investigated by the police and the Electoral Comission over illegal foreign donations but this time it’s Robert Jenrick and potentially his wife may be involved too but this hasn’t had much coverage in the UK due to the news cycle being dominated by the media news 👇

May he burn for eternity in the fires of a million hells for the misery, death, and destruction he has unleashed in this world. And that day cannot come soon enough. Democrats better damn well hold everyone accountable! share.google/QllyiytUrNtD... @editorialboard.bsky.social

This is sheer through the looking glass stuff. It’s either Grade A gaslighting, brazen entryism or performance art worthy of Marina Abramović

Reform… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Years ago, Farage 'cancelled' a 100,000-person Brexit march in London at the last minute due to 'safety concerns'. I sent a FOI to the Met. They never applied for a legally-required demo permit or spoke to police re safety. They never intended to do it, but got the publicity anyway. This is that.

You can see why Colbert irks him so much. He's everything Trump isn't - educated, thoughtful, compassionate, well-read, funny, beloved and a Christian who actually behaves like a Christian. It must drive him insane to know he's a fraction of the man Colbert is.

Happy World Goth Day to all, and I still think it's a crime they made it World Goth Day in the Summer 🖤💀🦇🥀

The tide has decisively turned against Russia...

"Mayor attends huge local sporting event and doesn't even get comped seats or sit in the best spot" is such a hilarious way to try to burn someone, really nypost.com/2026/05/22/u...

The Spectator isn't just a harmless retirement home for 1930s-style Tories, or a campaigning club for the return of Gentleman's Relish. It plays with extremism. Any of those who still write for it - including actual "poets" - need to look in the mirror. Enoch is staring back at you licking his lips.

Fuck Alpha male ideology! Boys, you want an intense love story and satisfaction in your love life? THIS IS WHO YOU SHOULD EMULATE, not losers like Andrew Tate or Testicular or whatever his name is...
