Very traditional part of the British constitutional settlement on display here: a scaffolder finding something mislaid by someone in authority and carrying out his solemn duty of calling both the police and the Sun newsdesk.

Big Time reminds me of Trump - "I'll be a Big Noise. With all the Big Boys. So much stuff I will own"...

Imagine starting with a block of stone and ending with this

Anyways, here's your legacy, Bondi.

Off to the same farm upstate where Noem is.

Whenever a leader is struggling it's time to throw your colleagues under the bus instead. There would appear to be a pile-up today...🍿

As someone who lives in the US, I will continue to hope the midterm election will be a chance to put checks and balances back in place. If it doesn't, the US is going to become a lot worse than it is now.

Start the clock.

Lawrence O’Donnell made a great point. Nixon won his 1972 re-election in a landslide, winning 49 states. In 1974 he resigned. By 1976, you couldn’t find anyone who would admit to supporting him. Looking forward to history repeating itself.

How many sackings is this now? I'm losing track but unfortunately they keep popping back up like whack-a-moles...

When i was a kid in Switzerland, there was a family circus that used to come to town regularly, and my dad became friends with some of the people running it. We used to go down and see the show and I remember there was a guy who span plates as an act and one night he just kept smashing plates…

Karma’s a right bitch, innit?!

Jessica Elgot, "Are we heading to rejoining the European Union Single Market?" Keir Starmer, "We can do more in relation to the EU Single Market, it's a matter of discussion and negotiation with the EU"

Signed.

Think about this: A retired game show host may end the world as we know it. Only a master satirist could write this scenario, but Mark Twain is dead.

The man with the pipe and the man with the boat were much lambasted at the time, but they understood the real world. One day the Americans can't or won't be there for you. Europe is your only choice. Grand strategy is just cold reality.

They'll have to cope, like the rest of us have...

Warning. The endless wank about the World Cup has begun. Needless to say, sports journalists will ignore the fact that one of the hosts is blowing up the world and attacking competitor countries. Dynamic ticket pricing: six grand to watch the final. Fuck (and I cannot stress this enough) off.

David Dimbleby, a most respected political observer gets it absolutely right! In no way should King Charles' visit to the US ever have been contemplated, much less go ahead! Trump has deeply offensively insulted our armed forces! For God's sake Starmer, grow a spine! youtu.be/qfl4RqTo9Ls?...

Can they repay taxpayers for the fuel they wasted during their joy ride?

In this time of higher energy prices, please consider car sharing…

Everything is absurd

Hope he is forced to replace everything, as it was, brick by bloody brick. And out of his embezzled funds too...

don't think I ever posted this one, it's from 2021

Poland has refused a US request to relocate a Patriot air-defence system and missile stockpile from Poland's eastern flank to the middle east. This was to reinforce dwindling supplies in the ongoing Iran war. Poland's refusal shows a growing divide with a strong ally. www.rp.pl/polityka/art...

What happens when you badmouth your allies... #fafo

Start the fire. Walk away. Tell the world they’re on their own.

Consequences Dear Boy. CONSEQUENCES...

We are going to see an accelerating tide of these admissions and conversions as the coming weeks and months pass. And the job of those of us who have opposed Trump for years is to resist saying "I told you so," or "you knew better," but rather to say "thank you for seeing the light"...

Surrounded by so many sycophants, he's forgotten what the word 'No' sounds like. Better start getting used to it...

Telling that there isn’t a single book in this library. But then that family isn’t about the acquisition of knowledge and critical thinking. Just money…

It’s insane watching the bulletins and headlines rolling in about a global energy crisis worse than the 1970s and not a single one mentions it’s all been caused by one crazy man for no reason. When Trump finally goes reputations will have been trashed and they’re irrecoverable.

The UK government is exploring triggering the break clause in Palantir’s NHS contract, the FT reports. A big and absolutely correct step.

This is good news. I've told people before that the Tories signed us up to a multi-year contract and you cannot just end it. But it looks like there could be a clause in that contract to end it early and the time has now been reached to see if it can be used!

Kids. Don't do drugs...

Marvin Gaye playing across a crowded Trafalgar Square with people of all ages and backgrounds all dancing along in the cold sunshine of March. Magic. Just don’t tell Rupert ….#together

There should be no place in Britain for this MAGA shit. The media need to call it out in the toughest terms possible.

Magnificent thread. The fact that he’s now managed to soil himself on *GBeebies*, an entity that only exists to promote bile like his, is like the whole thing landed on a triple word score in Scrabble. Andy Twelves is a legend.

My Carpets? Inspiral...

“But, but, but the Commonwealth?”

Oh heavens! Not that!

“That famous ideological warrior, once again, deciding she doesn’t want to talk to anyone who disagrees with her”. Liz Truss refuses to speak to Lewis Goodall at MAGA conference, despite taking to the stage to warn America about the rise of islamism - and Sharia Law - in the UK
