Here we go again. Trump has told the UK that if we want a UK-US tech deal, we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! 🤢🐔 How dare he try and impose poor food standards in Britain. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves: 38d.gs/cc-df

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

Millions of toxic plastic beads from Southern Water have washed up on Camber Sands beach, threatening dolphins, seals, seabirds, and our beaches. Sign the petition to make sure water companies pay for the cleanup of spills like this, not their customers: 38d.gs/water_mess_e...

Calls to strip pro-democracy activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah of his British citizenship pile torment on top of torture. New piece by me on a dangerous and manufactured storm: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It seems that Russian influence in Tory politics hasn't disappeared ... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Artists are giving up tens of thousands of dollars to take a stand: “It is financially devastating but morally exhilarating" www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/a...

Yet more evidence of the moron Trump's Make China Great Again policy.

It appears the whole Putin “Ukraine tried to kill me with 91 drones last night” was entirely made up. And of course Trump repeated it and said he was mad at Ukraine. Nightly Russia launched drones and missiles at innocent people. And tried to Kill Zelensky every day Spare me the gaslight

Trump will use any excuse to throw Ukraine under the bus. He never speaks out when Russia attacks Ukrainian civilians

I can't believe the voters gave this guy control again. It's a self-own for the ages. And a curse upon all humanity.

#GeorgiaProtests ❤️🇬🇪🇪🇺

Christmas attack on civilians in Kyiv. Sure, the Russians want peace

"Jabo is not known for terrorist activity and that local Christians coexist peacefully with the Muslim majority" edition.cnn.com/2025/12/26/a...

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed" Right, of course! That’s why they erase our towns from the map, bomb our infrastructure and businesses. To force us to rebuild everything and succeed. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

No idea who Laurent Brindeau is, but isn’t this caricature of @zackpolanski.bsky.social in today’s @dailymailpolitics.bsky.social ragingly antisemitic?

Zelensky lands in Miami. Not a single US official is on hand to greet him. In the language of diplomacy this send an unequivocal message of coldness and hostility. Compare it with the lavish pomp and red carpet shown to Putin when he landed in Alaska a few weeks ago.

“I don’t think it can remain silent, but its response risks underlining the narrative that the C of E is only for the comfortable middle-class.” Can we think of a more patronising middle class response than thinking working class people are far right nationalists? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

‘Of course he abused pupils’: ex-Dulwich teacher speaks out about Farage racism claims www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

This is essentially the plot of The Sound of Music.

Donald Trump has never been 'mentally OK' - unless we count morbid sociopathy and malignant narcissism as within the parameters of mental fitness. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It would be better for democracy if the UK govt discovered a little bit more spine than this: A spokesperson said: “While every country has the right to set its own visa rules, we support the laws and institutions which are working to keep the internet free from the most harmful content.”

We strongly condemn the U.S. decision to impose travel restrictions on five European individuals, including former Commissioner Thierry Breton. Link to full statement: link.europa.eu/NtMX4K

Germany’s far-right AfD accused of gathering information for Russia www.express.co.uk/news/world/2... Nigel Farage of course is no stranger to AfD, having had a long standing alliance with them, campaigning for them.

Another one to file under "This is NOT normal behaviour by a supposed democracy and ally". This isn't about censorship, if it was the US would be sanctioning Russian and Chinese government figures who really are suppressing free speech. www.bbc.com/news/article... (1/2)

A seasonal reminder that you can't be on the side of truth, decency and honour and support Donald Trump - the antithesis of the love, goodwill and solidarity the Birth of Christ signifies. Merry Christmas!

I’ve just signed this petition calling out Evri for their shocking service & treatment of drivers. It’s demanding Evri review & improve their pay policies so couriers don’t resort to cutting corners & our parcels make it to the right place. Add your name? act.38degrees.org.uk/act/Evri-pay...

Not only a warning about Trump, but also about Farage and Trump's Reform fifth column here in the U.K.

Are there no depths of untruth and divisiveness to which this Tory leader won't stoop to appeal to the far-right vote?

Great to have such an enthusiastic support for rejoining Erasmus from the Vice Chancellor of Oxford University on #t4today No stupid questions about whether this was anti-Brexit. Just unequivocal celebration of the chance to broaden our horizons again. A step on the road back to sanity.

Given the BBC is publicly funded, this is Donald Trump suing you & me. It’s a pathetic cry-bully attack on journalism by a wannabe dictator & an attack on every British person. And our far right politicians & pundits are cheering him on, of course. #r4today

Again these people aren't patriots. They hate our country and are allied to others who hate it too. Nothing will ever be achieved by seeking to appease them

Reform's 'no enemies to the right' reflex should be a huge electoral millstone round their necks as they're cosying up to fanatical white supremacists and neo-nazis, and that's not where the British people are ever going to be.

I saw this and had to check it wasn't faked or a spoof. Sadly, it is real. Every time I think Trump has reached the nadir of decency and propriety, some hellish trapdoor opens, revealing a hitherto undiscovered sub-basement of obscenity and barbarity. ~AA

This country knowingly put evil in the White House. This great, good, decent country knowingly put someone who is evil in power. Americans knowingly voted for an evil monster. And so to remind you once more - this Trump era has never been about Trump. It’s always been about us, about us as a people.

How liberal democracy amused itself to death, chapter 67572.

A reminder that this is the same man who has just spent the past week calling all the Jewish victims of his own horrific anti-semitic abuse liars

This is very good. If Reform win the GE, it'll be too late for those who voted for them to say, like this disillusioned Reform member: "I thought they were going to come and change everything. And all they’re doing is coming in and tearing people’s lives apart.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...?

Nothing says "smash the political establishment" quite like begging the Prime Minister to put your mates in the unelected House of Lords.

Ed Davey: "Quite apart from the irony of President Trump accusing others of trampling on basic principles of democracy, it repeats far right tropes of civilisational erasure, and threatens that the US Government will cultivate resistance in Europe."

If he were a Russian agent, what would he be doing differently ...? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Diego Luna just received a Golden Globe nomination for his role in the Star Wars show Andor. What can Andor teach us about fighting tyranny? A lot, actually. Watch.

“It is now beyond doubt, however; that this assisted by the White House in its efforts to destroy Ukraine and that the United States has declared war on Europe under its appalling president”… and who does the US support in Europe? The AFD in Germany and Reform UK here. Such grim betrayal. (iPaper)

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

Staggering - the effort and resource *still* being invested in keeping the Brexit shitshow on the road. No one’s held to account. No one’s fallen on their sword. No one’s got the guts to really speak out. So, on we go, protecting this huge and ruinous lie, because telling the truth is too difficult.
