This was Reform's best chance at a constituency gain, and they came up just short: in the final BBS model before polls opened, they had a tiny edge, it was a total tossup. SNP will be extremely relieved by this ^AF

Wow.

First gain of the day, and an absolutely huge one: Shetland has been Lib Dem every election up until now.

Look at the US, where the Republicans were first to spot that the old “Neoliberalism, engine of freedom and prosperity” stuff was not going to fly any more, so they leaned hard into racism and crushing enemies. Leaving the Dems happily holding the bag for a fucked and obviously corrupt system.

Thank you Rabbi for your kind words! 🙏🏽

We arrived into Dundee today, our first ever visit, to this massive kneecap mural 💚🤍🧡 🇵🇸 Huge GRMA to the artists

How Volodymr Zelenskyy manages to survive in a literal war without a ballroom to keep him safe is just shocking to me.

In the wake of the Michael Jackson biopic success, producers are now planning a John Wayne Gacy movie that focuses only on his career as a clown.

We are gonna have to circle back to this.

This is an extraordinary, searing interview. In the context of the repulsive new Jackson biopic, it raises questions about why so many people just don’t want to know what he did. FWIW I saw Leaving Neverland before HBO pulled it, and I absolutely believe those kids.

Amazing stuff.

This grubby, morally bankrupt clique must be driven from British politics.

The original sin of Starmerism is what will now destroy it. The Labour Party was taken over by a cynical, dishonest faction with no moral compass. How they operated in the party is how they operated in government. Starmer was just their convenient frontman.

Keir Starmer is a man without any integrity. He throws other people under buses for no other reason than to save his own skin. He's not fit to be prime minister - and those who spent years presenting him as a decent man need to have a hard look at themselves.

You've got to admit, they did a cracking job patching him up after that incident in opening the Ark of the Covenant.

transphobia is a luxury belief, which is why it’s so prevalent among beltway types who don’t have real problems

Send JD Vance to more right wing countries during election campaigns please.

Yer da brings home made props to the game

Hi @emilythornberry.bsky.social, You might want to chat with @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social about this whole disinformation thing....

🚨🎉 The Green Party BEATS Reform!!! 😮 Greens came fourth here last year. 💚 Proving once again that Greens can win anywhere. 🙌🏽 Labour tanking and Greens beating Reform! 👉🏽 Join.greenparty.org.uk

For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.

This is why Daily Mail journalists are going after my family now. The right wing propaganda machine will not work on the Green Party. We're ready to end Rip off Britain, end the cost of living crisis and make hope normal again.

Seeing as John Terry has outed himself as a supporter of Reform Britain’s right-wing rhetoric, here’s a reminder of the truly hilarious and shameless attempts at positive PR when he was accused of racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand in 2011

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

My hairdresser and friend opened her business last week. Tonight it burned to the ground. This is devastating. I’ve set up a fundraiser. If you haven’t done anything for international women’s day yet, here’s a chance to support a women-run business in need: www.paypal.com/pools/c/9nhn...

'SHAME GAME' BINGO . Condemnation of 'ultras culture' by middle-aged pundits . Politicians wading in clumsily . All Scottish football fans being tarred with same brush . Rugby comparisons . Hot takes from people who think Rangers are managed by Dick Advocaat and Celtic by 50-year-old Martin O'Neill

Honestly fair fucks to Vittorio Angelone for calling out Penny Mordaunt on Last Leg

Exclusive: US military investigators believe it is likely that US forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school that killed scores of children on February 28 but have not yet reached a final conclusion or completed their investigation reut.rs/40b19JN

Let’s just see how the BBC is framing this war of aggression, shall we?

Manchester has proved that this country is not Twitter. That real people are decent. It’s great to feel a little hope return

Good morning Britain 👋💚

"You think we'd move on and forget what happened? Nah, fuck Keir Starmer Netanyahu's bitch and genocide armer"

If Bilbo had Chat GPT

That wasn't "yes," which means it would be a lie too undeniable *for her.* That's a very high bar for something that would be too obviously a lie.

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

Jesus Christ

There is no ceasefire. Just Israeli death and destruction. Every single day, for decades. Relentless oppression. They kill kids for fun.
