So refreshing to hear a politician actually answer the questions

“Reform is less a political party and more a very highly paid public-facing lobby group for oil and gas interests.”

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

Farage plans to ditch workers’ rights, cut the NMW, scrap the Equality Act, legalise discrimination, take us out of the ECHR and have a deregulation bonanza to remove our protections and make it easier to exploit and endanger us… for profit. He couldn’t give a shit about working people.

Aaand another one. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sorry state we’re in when the president of the United States can call a reporter a bitch for asking a legitimate question about gas prices and the media says nothing… ? Shameful 😔

Do this! I suspect most of the new reform councillors, and particularly those in control of councils, have imagined themselves living it up, lording it over enemies, firing woke snowflakes and becoming local celebrities. They’ll hate the reality of thankless work, endless complaints, and scrutiny.

Fascism.

If the map of deaths on railways looked like this, it'd be treated as a national emergency.

“In fact, Iran reportedly has been increasing the amount of shipping allowed through the strait, as long as the vessels are protected by not bearing ties to Trump.” open.substack.com/pub/thefucki...

It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first – putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

"So Mr Trump, what was it that first attracted you to the country with the third largest oil reserves in the world?"

This is the insanity of the current Labour approach. You are kneecapping the economy by slashing immigration to appease voters who hover between Tory and Reform, and yet they don’t even believe your numbers anyway…plus you’ve just alienated your actual supporters

PSA: Taxes must rise. The wealthy will need to pay more, and the middle class a little more, too. That’s what both the math and our values demand. A republic isn’t magic. It must be kept, and keeping it takes shared sacrifice.

It is not true “England cannot effectively subsidise travel costs”. Retired people get free travel. By freezing the fuel duty escalator we are subsidising car drivers, which compounds inequality. See more here: bettertransport.org.uk/media/groups... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

trump voters wanted him to persecute and punish the people they hated so much they were willing to offer themselves up as collateral. they wanted permission to hate openly without fear of censure, and he promised to grant it. there is no better nature to appeal to here. why are we wasting our time?

Reform UK watchers have been puzzled by a newly disclosed donation to the party of £50,000 by a company whose accounts are overdue and which most recently reported a reading loss of more than £2.4m ✍️Martin Shipton wp.me/p8Mk4U-17UW

Someone posted their ai generated comic on a Reddit /comic-crits thread and I’m so angry about it I dunno if I should respond.

Major disasters caused $101 billion in damages in the first half of 2025 — the costliest six month period on record. How do we know? A nonprofit had to take over NOAA’s work tracking disasters, which Trump gutted. What else doesn’t he want us to know?

This needs reposting again!

THIS! 👇

Physics and biomechanics don't care about this petition. Also, Dickie boy here has definitely been done for speeding.

@mchshe.bsky.social don’t expect an answer but… the audible Mabinogion is read by a soulless English voice. What can we do to get a Welsh voice doing it justice

🚫 NO KINGS… 🚫

Everybody: please stop mentioning that Farage was regularly on Russia Today, a channel now banned for its Russian propaganda content, blamed the EU for Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2014, had a Russian spy running his Welsh operation, and built his whole career on a policy Putin supports.

Periodic reminder to punch a Nazi.

@pauljholden.com sorry to bother you good sir. You’re mentioned here and many artists hate their early work but this stuff looks great and I hope you enjoy seeing it again. boysadventurecomics.blogspot.com/2025/10/viol...

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.

"Those genuinely concerned abt violence against women should focus on funding frontline services,prevention work,addressing court backlogs &tackling the criminal justice system’s culture of disbelief rather than scapegoating migrants" @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/08/28/f...

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.

If Obama or Biden had said this, it would be rightfully understood as them arrogating dictatorial authority to themselves, it would be the only thing anyone in the media or opposition would talk about for a year, and it would probably end their presidency. For Trump, it’s literally just Tuesday.

Unlike the swastika, the Cross of St George can still be reclaimed. England has the chance to take its flag back permanently from the right wingers and racists — to be as proud of it as the Welsh are of our dragon ✍️ Gwern Gwynfil

Medical journal the Lancet has estimated that DOGE’s dismantling of USAID may result in >14M deaths, 1/3 of them children, by 2030. That’s like killing *everyone* in New York, Los Angeles & Chicago. These deaths from disease, malnutrition, & hunger will be largely out of sight for most Americans.

This is what happens when people believe a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual abuser to sit in the Whitehouse. 🤮🤮💩

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered…Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” - 1984, George Orwell

Vote reform ? These are your bedfellows.

Pay attention.

This was the worst thing about working in environmental policy for nearly a decade. I thought I would lose my MIND. The tech has all been in place since the 70s -- it's only gotten better and more efficient -- but there's no political will to mandate anything: "The market will work it out."

it's remarkably bleak that Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women, including an allegation that was adjudicated and in which he was found liable for sexual assault, and yet the American public needs still MORE evidence of his depraved character and unfitness.
