Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Thoughts and prayers for Donald J Trump

Richard Tice told The Times in March he had “never met Nathan Gill” searchlightmagazine.com/2025/10/refo...

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

This ursid writes so much good stuff, it's hard to keep up with it. #r4today

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him. Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership." SHARE!

The Bishop of Birmingham has written to the Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick about his comments about Handsworth

There's also something disgusting about a qualified solicitor, so it can't have been said from ignorance, suggesting, as Jenrick did today, that barristers' beliefs and values can be deduced from those of their clients.

It is my momento mori style obligation to remind you that this is not just coming to the uk but is it is already here.

'“There are people I don’t like, and I would like to put them on one of Musk’s spaceships and send them all off to the planet he’s sure he’s going to discover,” Goodall tells interviewer Brad Falchuk during the revelatory 55-minute special discussing her life, work and legacy.'

And we have even less protection here. Trump can't fire judges who have constitutional protection. A government here could pass a law allowing them to do so with a majority of one in the Commons.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference. Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say? Let's keep growing: join.greenparty.org.uk

"I spoke to hundreds of puppies and kittens who all hate you personally, Shabana Mahmood, why haven't you sorted this out, many years ago, before you were in power, by banning all protest, and also why are you restricting protest, you authoritarian monster?" Kuenssberg is just so exhaustingly shit.

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

"Removals Force" sounds like a mediocre daytime TV programme about moving house.

We will deport them Every last one of them A policy without fault Resistance is futile Envy of the world Can’t be bettered Uniting the nation Never surrender Together we’ll win Salute our leader

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

I don’t have a crystal ball, but I have a good idea how this shutdown ends. Trump and Republicans will cave (he won’t admit he’s caving, of course, but he will cave). Here’s why: Air traffic controllers.

Thank you to the Conservative party for sending me this list of things I might like to attend at the conference they've banned me from attending

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. The legacy of the Roberts court.

Kemi Badenoch and family spent the February half-term as guests of noted climate sceptic/denier Neil Record in Terbury, Gloucestershire, enjoying hospitality valued at £14,000. A month later, Badenoch U-turned on the Conservatives’ commitment to achieving net zero by 2050.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

‘For a sense of how much Moldova has mattered to Putin, one only has to look at how much Russia has spent to rig this election and the widespread bomb threats.’ Great piece on the significance of the Moldova election by @snellarthur.bsky.social. ~AA bestforbritain.substack.com/p/in-their-d...

I wonder if this guy is related to "Boris Johnson" who introduced "voter id" as Prime Minister in 2023 ... off the back of some crazy US conspiracy theories ... and in the process, made digital ID pretty much inevitable.

🤷🏼

Our politics and media have become viciously obsessed with immigration. Farage has made sure of it. And in that obsession, they’ve all lost sight of the people they target. Fellow human beings trying to live and belong somewhere. Shame on everyone responsible for this daily inhumanity (Letter,Times)

Trump didn't write this... who's driving?

One thing making Trump so difficult to deal with is that it's impossible to separate his politics from his grotesque ego. He's obviously a hugely damaged, possibly deranged, person, but he articulates it through politics. I'm not sure that's ever been the case for the leader of a democracy before.

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

Trump literally uses his UN Speech to slam the UN for not hiring him years ago to do renovations of the UN. I'm serious. This is the moron pretending to be President

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Neil Young brought it at Farm Aid. One of the greatest rock n rollers of all time.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

The Dutch rip the hell out of Donald Trump and Disney for the ridiculous Jimmy Kimmel firing. This is what you call Free Speech, Trump.

So Trump is either a Fascist or a Antifascist - he has just declared his position!

From my home town. Brilliant 🙂💪👍

SWALWELL: Did you ever tell the AG that Trump's name is in the Epstein files PATEL: The AG and I have had numerous discussions about the entirety of the Epstein files S: Did you tell AG that Trump's name is in the files? P: *crashes out* S: We'll take your evasiveness as consciousness of guilt

All journalists should bend the knee to the work of the obituarist, the one discipline which enables the practitioner to get a byline from beyond the grave. Ronald Bergen predeceased his subject Robert Redford by 5 years, but left behind a truly masterful obit. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

😂🤣😂🤣😂 I love the Brits. I want to go shopping at this store. #england #london #epsteinfiles #arresttrump

Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”

Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks. Joy Reid nailed it.

Booker: "Here's the thing, Mr Patel. I think you're not gonna be around long. I think this might be your last oversight hearing. Because as much as you supplicate yourself to the will of Donald Trump and not the Constitution, Donald Trump has shown us he is not loyal to people like you."
