Like all decent people I'll be boycotting Eurovision tonight. But you really need a fix, old Eurovisions are available in full on Youtube. I might watch 2016. I'd like to wind back time 10 years! www.youtube.com/watch?v=no1v...

10 degrees here. Siberian.

Translation: My word means Nothing.

🇫🇷 Former French Ambassador to Israel and the US, Gerard Araud: “What is happening in the West Bank right now is an absolute scandal.” “What is actually happening is ethnic cleansing carried out by ‘settler’ Israelis.” “Europe’s silence on this is also a scandal.”

What a disgrace. Trump insults a fighter for democracy but bows to the leader of the Chinese Communist Party!

Thinks he rules the feckin world. The global police officer. Insane. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

You just couldn't have Starmer as PM at the Labour Party Conference. That would be unholy. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A Tale of Two Dictators.

Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting both went to Graham Linehan's defence after he was arrested for urging violence against trans people in public, so if you vote for Labour UK you are telling trans people that their safety and lives are the price they must pay for your vote.

This has to be one of the coldest of mid-May days. Ever. Freeze your bollocks off.

For someone like Starmer who is so unpopular, there are an large amount of people willing to put up with him, just to keep the peace. And willing to tolerate the consequence of a potential Reform government. Like Trump, people just dont appreciate the existential risk. news.sky.com/liveblog-web...

So we have to come together behind a donkey? So says this donkey? www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Fifteen minutes with a whole load of flapping and noise there, on Newsnight, to say what I said in one sentence in a political WhatsApp group.

Paddy O'Connel very testy and irritable tonight. Wants answers at any cost. #Newsnight

“[Donald Trump] has created a permission structure for people to be their worst selves. He has taught Americans that it’s okay to be selfish and spiteful and hateful and angry and resentful and that is the most toxic thing he has done to the country.”

Tim Apple, Tec-Bro Homosexual, shaming his LGBTQ family and cavorting with the MAGA. Ugh

BREAKING: Health Secretary Wes Streeting resigns. “It is now clear that you will not lead the Labour Party into the next general election and that Labour MPs and Labour Unions want the debate about what comes next to be a battle of ideas, not of personalities or petty factionalism”

You can't buy my books in bookshops. Why? I published 2 Sunday Times bestsellers the traditional way, and earned... drum roll... Zero. Literally zero. In fact because I had to shell out for lawyers and fact checkers, it left me £30k out of pocket. The publisher took the lot. 🧵

Please retweet.

Too many people have accepted Trump’s presidency as "normal." Too many believe there is nothing we can do, and that we simply need to outlast his term. We cannot endure another 32 months with this mendacious, narcissistic, rapist, want to be dictator who is selling us out to the highest bidder.

This is 'Red Beach' on Hormuz Island off the coast of Iran. The red mud is actually one of the island's most important natural resources: OCHRE. It's a mix of silica, clay & iron oxides. Let's talk about the unusual geology, vibrant colors & culture of Hormuz Island, Iran. (📷: Sirsilentbob423)

Anyone else have a Pupster that starts to whine at a certain time when he thinks we should be going to bed - usually at the closing credits of #Newsnight? We usually have to water him in the garden then he dashes in and up to bed.

Are they all in a dark cave? Did the BBC forget to pay the leccie bill? #Newsnight

Bird flu spreading, hantavirus popping up, measles spreading, public health systems gutted, and Trump appoints Don Jr.’s turkey-hunting buddy to oversee the FDA. What could possibly go wrong?

And the most important thing to remember for our current circumstance is that we cannot survive 32 months more of what we've seen over the last 16."

Starmer is a gooner?!?!?!?!

Starmer back banging his big drum of anti-semitism. Sorry but this is not a speech to support Netanyahu and Israel.

Bad Enoch is a very very angry woman. Hectoring the Labour benches. Leadership is not being abusive as Emily Thornberry rightly said.

Kemi Badenoch needs to learn the difference between abuse and wit.

James Cleverly doing the lord's work here

President Donald Trump won't have to pay an $83 million defamation award to a longtime advice columnist until the U.S. Supreme Court gets a chance to review the case or reject an appeal, according to a court entry Tuesday. https://to.pbs.org/48VZSLp

Right-wing politics & US influence coming to the rescue if Starmer. US Administration manipulating UK politics. This is going to need Andy Burnham and a strong counter-narrative. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Trump: "Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They've agreed to that, and then that's not what they sent to me. We don't play games."

The answer is never Chuka Ummuna

Another Mandelson protégé? 🫠

Evidence of Trump's severe cognitive impairment was on display everywhere yesterday.

Can this be awarded multiple times? Trump is so deserving…

Lammy is not on the winning team.

The last thing that Andy Burnham wants.

This is not about who journalists would like to replace Keir Starmer.

Here you go. From Zelenskyy’s desk.

UK folks, if you want to opt out of confidential NHS data being given to Palantir, visit your-data-matters.service.nhs.uk and opt out. If you don't know who Palantir are, they have contracts with ICE and the IDF, and they have a very eye opening manifesto.

So Wes Steeting just gave NHS England data to Palantir (right wing org ran by a raving nutjob with no qualms about misusing said data). Thankfully the Scottish Government refused to do the same. The countries of the union are on very different paths.
