So if we want to eat the burger we should rejoin the EU?

Shameful. Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche are stains on the legal profession.

The biggest problem in the world isn’t climate change, future pandemics, or democratic collapse. It’s that far too many of our most brilliant minds are working on *everything but* those problems. 🧵

Empathy is a superpower. You are able to see others through the lens of all they've carried, and help restore balance. Don't let the propaganda machine destroy it.

For those who regularly tell me Labour are just Tory lite. They really aren’t. You’re being mugged off by the media who want you to believe that . I can give you multiple examples like this to prove my point. But this is worth a read esp if you’re outside London.

Why are the UK authorities and media so reluctant to investigate Russia’s interference in right wing UK? I thought it was purely to protect the Conservative Party, but Farage as well?🤷

Bertrand Russell to Oswald Mosley. Perfection.

Ghislaine Maxwell, who was responsible for assembling the infamous birthday book, can’t remember how a lewd letter from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein (whether a forgery or genuine) came to be included in it.

Several questions: 1) Why is Farage "testifying" in the US about free speech bank home? 2) Why aren't any of our politicians back home laying into him like this? 3) Why does Farage's neck jiggle like that

Here’s a more hopeful picture of the country that Nigel Farage has been denouncing to lawmakers in the United States.

This “Putin-loving free speech imposter and Trump sycophant”. 🐸

At last someone in Labour who’s prepared to call out Farage for the ignorant divisive grifter that he really is.

As always, Farage is ready to trash his own country in his bid to be taken seriously in America - where the real money is. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

“One of the cranks who made the journey from Living Marxism to Spiked Online, leaving unreformed communism for primitivist libertarianism and thereby travelling from one embarrassment to another without stopping in the land of reason on the way.” 🎩

Why do the Western media always refer to people who attack Palestinian homes and villages in the West Bank and kill their occupants as “settlers”, and not as “invaders”, “bandits” or “terrorists”? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Confusing…

Once again, if you are pointing to a mob and arguing that their violence is a justification for doing what you want, it’s your mob and your violence.

London is over

Dammit almost managed to climb the fence at Glastonbury this year. But the security guard caught me and told me I have to go back and watch Rod Stewart like everyone else....

Happy #DanHannanDay!

This is the last thing the BBC needs

I’m not in the habit of saying this, and nor do I want to be, but well done King Charles! www.standard.co.uk/news/royals/...

Are you listening @ofcom.bsky.social @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social?

Quite. We have been here so often. Clement Attlee had to bring in a welfare state whilst under constant attack by those supposedly on his side for being a traitor, blah blah. Every progressive improvement in this country has come from Labour. Including this government. The Left should defend it.

Wondering about the behaviour of many in the stalls after this evening’s marvellous performance of Faust at the @royaloperahouse.bsky.social - taking videos on their phones instead of applauding. Jolly rude, I call it.

American democracy voting itself out of existence. The shame of it!

It isn’t the Democrats who are going to stop Trump and his trail of destruction, but angry MAGAs.

It’s hard to believe that this is true, but then it’s hard to believe that what is happening in front of our very eyes is true. Trump’s supporters deny that they are fascists, insisting that they are Libertarians. But it’s not Libertarianism; it’s Neo-Feudalism. Props to @jonsneider.bsky.social

This is disgusting - and yet they laugh!

Tough Choices!

Donald Trump really is the master of one-dimensional chess!

This makes sense from a UK point of view, and, I would suggest, from an EU point of view, however uncomfortable it may be in terms of traditional EU dogma. The world has changed.

A look of disgust, mixed with bitter regret … and fear maybe?

A lovely tribute to Oded Lifshitz - an exemplar of “the values which surely are the only model for this terrible conflict ultimately being resolved”.

CNN have been thrown out of their office in the Pentagon.

Good points, well made, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

Yankee, go home!

The headline is wrong. The talks between Putin and Trump in Saudi Arabia will not be about peace in Ukraine, but about terms for America’s disengagement. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/17/p...

Evil is abroad in Gaza. There is no other word for it.

Conservative Party members have been desperate to find a reincarnation of Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady, for their leader. As it turned out, Theresa May didn’t cut the mustard, and the Lettuce Lady, Liz Truss, barely lasted a month. Could Kemi Badenoch prove to be their most ludicrous choice yet?
