🆘 Need some urgent help on this Rejoin EU poll. Vote and RT ✅ www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

The Tax Dodgers’ Alliance has released a report about council CEOs being on six figure salaries. The council in my area is a £400m organisation. Is there an organisation of a similar size in the UK led by someone on £99k a year? news.sky.com/story/reveal...

For context, Kent County Council's budget is £2.5 billion. The ReformUK Head of Economic Development can't manage his own finances admitting that 'numbers have never been my big thing'. How bad does a councillor have to be before his party does something about it. #ReformUK are a bad joke.

1/8 Yesterday I was asked a question live on @lbc.co.uk by @mrjamesob.bsky.social : What happens if the United States intercepts a Chinese cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz? At the time, I said I didn’t want to think about it. Since then, I have. #Hormuz #MaritimeSecurity

Obviously no-one could (or should) think of another leader this might apply to.

Following Orban’s defeat, Farage will try to distance himself from Trump. He recently described him as “someone I happen to know” as if it wasn’t significant. No Nigel, you’ve flown over multiple times to suck up to & support Trump. You don’t get to pretend it’s nothing. You’ve made your MAGA bed…

I’m not proud of myself, but I’m taking this opportunity to enjoy the worst people having a bad time. Feel free to send me examples.

Jonn was right. He’s going to regret this!

okay I'm going to regret this but... what do you think Duncan was saying?

A tip I’ll be following up once I’ve finished my six year old bottle of Basil Hayden.

Then I wish the British would get on with it.

Feels weird to be rooting for the slightly less far right candidate.

Still, it’s good to that the American Govt isn’t interfering in the election.

All part of the naïveté of far too many Green supporters. Good people in the main but with some combination of inexperience, innocence or delusion about how the world works. They’ll often come unstuck when they take power because the systems aren’t ones they have taken the time to understand.

The battle against Trump is a battle against genocide iandunt.substack.com/p/the-battle...

Then all you need is cricket and football (soccer to you I guess).

Definitely the right number 1 But god they made so many stunning tracks how can anyone agree a the 20 best? www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

It’s an excellent source. Thanks.

See also “all fur coat and no knickers”. So maybe the trousers and the knickers got mixed up? As it were.

Also: we lost 457 people responding to the NATO call for aid in Afghanistan. Fuck. Donald. Trump.

Trump is breaking the rules to consolidate power for himself. He wants electoral maps that ignore what voters want and has been gerrymandering and not giving voters a choice in states like Texas. We must stop Trumps power grab now. Vote YES in Virginia before or on April 21 #StopTrumpVoteYesVA

Prime Minister Sanchez: “.. Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” 🇪🇸

Trump's gerrymandering push wasn't subtle. He wanted Republican House control. Virginia can counter with a voter approved measure. Don't let authoritarianism win. Vote YES on April 21st. #VirginiaVoteYes

“Donald Trump reports …” isn’t a sound basis for analysis or action.

A reminder that Yanis Varoufakis, the idiot's intellectual, is another of Putin's little blogger-puppets. Hand-maidens for imperialism.

Another thorough dissection of the effect of the latest TACO episode.

It's an expensive lesson, and I bet the dummies haven't learned a thing.

That’ll be the one.

It goes without saying that this would collapse a British goverment

Why not let a perfectly functional device just keep functioning? 😠

"A total and complete victory" - Confirmed the US President is insane - Left Iran with its regime intact and stronger - It still has nuclear enrichment, ballistic capability - Control over the Straits - China influence growing - NATO split. Perhaps fatally - US decline confirmed and accelerated

Trump's coterie won't do a 25th Amendment - they'll just start to sideline Trump whilst still pretending he's in charge. They've got too much to lose.

Signed. Vital for the future of our democracy.

Not just Congress needs to step. Time for the Chiefs of Staff to put a stop to this.

Something I don't think the UK boasts about enough - and a great rebuttal to Reform and the Tories' anti-net zero propaganda: The UK is home to 7 out of the top 10 biggest offshore wind farms in the world. 10 of the top 20. And 6 in 10 of the largest ones in the world currently under construction.

Is anyone adking how this could be “gross misconduct”? Surely not enough to warrant a disciplinary let alone immediate dismissal www.theguardian.com/business/202...

From today, statutory sick pay is paid from the first day of illness And it’s paid to every worker, including the lowest paid, who previously got nothing Long held goals of the labour movement - realised by a Labour government

Great writing, especially the second part about the Artemis space mission. Thank you.

Very clear, concise thread on why UK will not be getting to cherry-pick elements of the EU relationship

Wow, like a ghost ship 114 years on, Belfast witnesses an incredible full-scale drone Titanic depart into the night once more.

Revealing interview with UK's leading intellectual. “You learn significantly more from comprehensive failure than from the tentative incrementalism favoured by our elites.”

Or US should have bombed Argentina in 1992 at our request

So. Will the US be removing (or told to remove) all its forces based on European territory (including Diego Garcia), and withdrawing from all the collective surveillance that Five Eyes does? Here’s hoping.

Wait until Trump finds out who made it harder for the US to leave NATO: www.reuters.com/business/aer...

We ‘absolutely’ should consider partnering with Europe not America! www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

It’s clear Trump will use the visit of the King to divide and disrupt . Cancel now Mr Starmer!

Beg to differ. Localised codes of conduct are prone to subversion and revision by unscrupulous local Politicians. Having a state wide system precludes (or at least hampers) behaviour which undermines democracy.
