Blair is right that Starmer is devoid of the ‘vision thing’ but wrong about most else especially sucking at the teat of the orange fcuk brain in the WH

Something that needs to be repeated EVERY SINGLE DAY! January 6th was an INSURRECTION… Trump was responsible. And everyone who participated is a criminal and a traitor. Period.

When Zia Yusuf joined Reform, the commentary was that he was going to make them a professional party, who would be ready for government if voted in Makerfield suggests that nothing could be further from the truth. They are making the Monster Raving Loonies look like Real Madrid

Dems salivating at the prospect of winning a senate seat in Texas is fine but I wish I felt like there was more going on at the top of the party where grappling with the fact that the GOP is not a party but an international crime ring is concerned

❗️❗️"Russian Army is retreating in the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk directions for the first time since 2023", — Head of Council of Reservists Tymochko

🚨👀 A petition to apply to rejoin the EU just reached more than 100,000 signatures. This means the petition will now be considered for a parliamentary debate.

Revolting extravagance

Today my mother became a British citizen! It is such a moving ceremony - everyone was welcomed ^ thanked for their contribution to the UK. Their courage in moving to a new countrywas recognised. The mayor said how proud she was of the many nationalities who had made their home in this global city.

Privatised water is such an obvious scam that it's achieved the impossible: getting 82% of Brits to agree on something. The only issue to score higher was the public’s desire for Tony Blair to stick to retirement.

AI is a brilliant innovation if removed from the control of malevolent tech bros. In Europe we will attempt to regulate it, in the US it will be like the wild west!

Red neck entertainment, in Trump’s WH zero culture

substack.com/@ccnameisfri... @BBC cowards!

Anothe Trump failure!

“.. four months after its establishment, the board’s financial fund set up by the World Bank has received no money from donors, according to four people familiar with the matter. ‘Zero dollars have been deposited,’ one said.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5ba3...

Absolutely. With few exceptions notably @bylinetimes.bsky.social our press is owned by a handful of non dom multi millionaires who’s editors pass on their proprietors views. What’s worse the BBC and other broadcast media slavishly follow the press leads and constrain news reporting to a narrow band

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender. Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.

Deeply pathetic that BBC is reporting this as a Reform power struggle rather than explaining that Reform's policies would require deporting people -including pensioners - who have lived and worked here legally for decades. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

BREAKING: Benjamin Netanyahu has been admitted to hospital in Jerusalem. Please join me in not wishing him a speedy recovery ♥️

Western democracies for years have out of fear poorly educated their citizens in civics and politics, except perhaps in Germany and even there populist right ( fascism) is on the rise. Could it be that progressive politics hasn’t worked, hasn’t defended the well-being of people well enough, well??

how did we go from “reduce your carbon footprint” to building data centers everywhere

UK is approaching an energy milestone that would have seemed impossible during the Industrial Revolution #OffshoreWind has become one of Britain’s strongest energy advantages due to favorable coastal conditions. Massive offshore installations now generate electricity at utility scale #ActOnClimate

🔴 Nigel Farage was paid £50,000 in personal speaking fees by two cryptocurrency businesses in October 2025. That same month, he told Reuters he was “not aware” of crypto businesses funding his party. bylinetimes.com/2026/05/22/n...

Cats eat birds, not nice!

Anyone who unironically refers highly enriched uranium as “nuclear dust” should be forever barred from discussing anything related to nuclear weapons. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

❗Leaving the ECHR would jeopardise the UK’s national security and hinder its efforts to tackle irregular migration, say a group of former justice secretaries and attorneys-general👇 🔗 www.ft.com/content/b3e4... via @financialtimes.com

Brexit was all about 'taking back control' but caused a huge rise in out-of-control immigration Now Brexit Party leaders say they're best placed to fix the problem they caused which is already being fixed "You caused it, Nigel. 🤷🏻‍♂️ And arsonists don’t put out fires… " via Reform Are Not Your Friends

One of the last of the pantheon of true giants has left us. A great originator. You do not learn jazz without learning Sonny Rollins. We’re lucky that we had him for so long, but the loss feels tremendous.

Shame it’s AI

Labour responds to reports Nigel Farage owes almost £10k for county court judgment after pocketing £5 million: “Farage’s finances just get murkier and murkier. If this is how he handles his own affairs, the public can have no faith in his ability to manage the public finances if Reform won power."

Ukrainian drone strikes into Russia are increasing, highlighting weaknesses in Russian defenses, reports Meduza. As drone strikes hit major Russian cities, the cracks in military morale and technology are starting to show, raising alarms all around. 1/5

Extraordinary

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.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admitted that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be prosecuted as well.

This week marks the 2-year anniversary of the incredible UNITED24 ambassador: Hollywood star Hilary Swank! For 2 years, Hilary has supported 🇺🇦 via UNITED24, using her voice and platform to draw attention to russia’s ongoing war. Thank you both, for everything you have done and continue to do!

Today marks six years since George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis. George was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend. His life mattered and he should still be here.

Farage antics straight out of Trump playbook. If people don’t wise up about Reform we’ll end up like America only ten times worse

One of our greats.

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

Today’s Russian attack on Kyiv changed nothing on the battlefield. Psychologically, it changed nothing either - except that Ukrainians now hate Russia even more. It did not make people demand surrender out of fear - it only strengthened their resolve. 1/

“What happened is textbook viewpoint discrimination by a state actor,” writes @ramielghandour.bsky.social after Rutgers’ School of Engineering dropped him as graduation speaker over his advocacy for Palestine. Read his piece: zeteo.com/p/rutgers-ca...

There is no special European DNA that makes their cities more livable. The only difference is that many of their leaders make the hard choices to build for people, while North American leaders choose to protect car culture and their influential industries. The EU make progress, not excuses.

Russian drones over Kharkiv‼️ Air defense is active making terrifying noises, at the same time children are happily screaming on the playground just outside the window. What a surreal time we live in.

When you put it like that
