Great thread but I see the next GE as a 5-6 way contest with no overall majority, Farage even if he has the biggest numbers unable to get enough support.

You’d have thought there’s a massive open goal to attack Farage & Reform at the moment; Farage’s bestie Trump is doing batshit crazy things that most Brits hate, & polls show Brexit is considered a failure by the vast majority. A half-decent team should be able to exploit. And yet, here we are. 🤷‍♂️

And so it goes on…

Bloody immigrants making our economy great again!

Time for Russia to reclaim Alaska that they sold to America for a pittance

Polish PM Donald Tusk on Trump's desire to take Greenland, "It's hard to imagine a more pro-American politician in Europe, but since we are allies, friends, Poland is an exceptionally loyal ally of the United States" "You should be honest about what fits and what doesn't fit"

Starmer’s decision to make Palestine Action a terror group will be his legacy. He has sided with the killers of children in Gaza for fear of being called antisemitic. If a hunger striker dies he should be accused of manslaughter.

Does Starmer realise he won the election for not being the Conservatives not for being Labour. No one loved him we just thought he couldn’t be as bad as the last lot, I’m beginning to think he might be.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and Trump's personal Gestapo is randomly executing American citizens. But at least now there won't be any non-binary characters on the new Paw Patrol spin-off.

It was a profound mistake to give Machafo the Peace Prize. Perhaps if like Mandela in a decade’s time she would have transformed Venezuela but not now.

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

BBC’s news values stink. They cling to the view that authority has the primary place and it’s absurd attempt at balance means they give equal weight to the wrong and the right. Vance is the vice despot who lies constantly but he gets a fresh platform every time from the BBC.

Blair could have been one of Britain’s great Prime Ministers, in social policy he was outstanding and his leadership skills were considerable. But he was corrupted by power as his support for Gulf war demonstrated and his institute is as much an ego trip as a contribution to global progress.

JD Vance is as evil as it gets. Pure evil. He is using the language and lies murderous dictators have used throughout history to justify their actions.

British people have such a weird blind spot about sweet potato being a savoury-only ingredient. Nothing better than a slow-baked sweet potato with honey and cinnamon or maple syrup butter and toasted pecans. Yet my other half is looking at me like I am eating filth. (Which I am, but the good kind.)

2026 Is The Year To Go On The Offensive: 2026 must be the year of the resistance. With a mad, dangerous king in the White House, this must be the year we stop reacting to everything he does, but instead lead the charge by protesting, boycotting, informing, organizing, and voting. My conversation…

A serious incident involving harassment and the publication of my address was brought to my attention. It’s been reported to the police. Thank you to those who flagged it. No woman deserves to be put at risk for speaking out. No woman deserves abuse and harassment, either online or in real life.

6) Regulation of social media is *hard*, but we're reaching a position where it is necessary. 7) The 'new' model of this regulation (as in the Digital Services Act in the EU, and the Online Safety Acts in the UK and Australia) relies on honest and cooperative platforms. It is unlikely to work. 3/3

Yes, but my point was meant to be that standing up to that threat requires building real capacity

The reality of Brexit: David Chadwick MP: "Welsh farmers were promised that Brexit would make exporting easier. "Instead, Conservative governments, cheered on by Reform UK, delivered more paperwork, higher costs and fewer markets." https://bit.ly/4pATu1B

The idea that Trump has any concept of morality is laughable.

Terrifying but Ukr must be allowed to hit back at Russian non military targets even though it risks escalation.

Western democracies are threatened by social media. This is real, this is dangerous. In the future people will ask why did they allow people to see this stuff.

We all saw the video of her killing. She drove off as a masked man tried to open her car door, he then killed her. He suffered no injuries. ICE is the Gestapo, make no mistake about that. Listen to Trump, Noem and Vance lie about the killing and say the killer won’t be prosecuted.

Indeed, Trump runs a mobster administration. He tolerates, even respects other mob leaders in China and Russia and as long as the ‘cartels’ keep away from each others territories he’s ok with that. NATO is obsolete as it crosses over to Putin’s patch.

Donald Trump’s decision to work with Delcy Rodriguez – the Vice President in Maduro's government – rather than Venezuela's democratic opposition, undermines any pro-democracy defence of US action in Caracas.

I keep posting this quote from Le temps des salauds: Comment le fascisme devient reel, by Hugues Jallon, but it's true. "Fascism? It begins with madmen, is made real thanks to bastards, and carries on because of morons." (My translation)

There are always Trumps. And so that is why the United States constitution has checks and balances for the misuse of presidential power. The real story of Trump’s presidency is not only what he has done, but also what Congress and the Supreme Court have not done.

The media has an even shorter attention span than Trump.

Ah here. The 10 o’clock news on BBV Radio 4 is leading with ‘JD Vance has described a woman shot dead by an ICE officer in Minnesota as a deranged leftist carrying out a terrorist attack’ This is not public service broadcasting
