We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

Tide is turning against Putin... 'Orbán is a close friend and admirer of Trump. That didn't help him at election time. Voters were angry about the Iran war pushing up energy costs. That aided Orbán's demise, allowing the EU's Ukraine loan to finally be released.' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Melania has a first meeting with Donald's new carer...

Nigel Farage was given £5mn by a Thailand based crypto billionaire and is now promising a massive crypto tax cut — all while trying to keep the huge personal gift secret.

At what point will Republicans realise that supporting Trump is career death? It's too late for them & they deserve all they get.

@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social - this might be your best chance to rid yourselves of the parasite that is the Trump family.

So Eric Trump is now threatening to sue MeidasTouch because our editor-in-chief simply reported on the massive amounts of money he and Don Jr. are making off government contracts. File the lawsuit Eric. We’d love to put you under oath. Our message: www.meidasplus.com/p/trump-fami...

US Still spending millions a day on Naval activity in the Persian Gulf...how, exactly are 'hostilities with Iran terminated?'

The world’s ten richest people — all Americans — saw their collective net worth increase by $260 billion in April. These ten people are now worth a combined $2.7 trillion. The bottom 50% of U.S. households, 66 million in total, is worth $4.3 trillion. Wondering if inequality is out of control?

Starmer got free glasses = media outrage Farage gets £5m = very little fuss Something terribly wrong with UK media.

This gobshite charlatan destroyed our membership in the EU; now he wants to destroy the United Kingdom.

Reform candidate who said he would 'blast Muslims off face of the earth' steps down www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/2607178...

Now THAT'S a resigning matter!!

Russia’s economy is in a bad way, its army is struggling to advance, and Ukraine’s drone are regularly attacking targets inside Russia. Is Putin running out of options? My latest post looks at his predicament (£/free trial), open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/i...?

This is incredible: ‘I Set Up a Fake Far-Right News Channel to Interview Reform UK Candidates and This Is What They Told Me’ The Reform hopefuls were quick to condemn scandals, without realising they were actually condemning the actions of their own party bylinetimes.com/2026/05/01/i...

What we had vs what we got.

Another really long day. I am doing everything I can to spread the word about the threats to democracy and how to fight back. You can help me by subscribing to Democracy Docket for free and sharing its content. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Every warning brushed off. Every signal downplayed. Every prediction people thought was exaggerated. All of it has come true.

BBC sub-editors... 🙄😂 'Royals take a moment to watch the marching band. They was joined by Virginia officials and UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper.' www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4...

Elon Musk’s ex and former MAGA social media influencer Ashley St. Clair joins Rick Wilson to expose the truth behind the MAGA influencer ecosystem—how it works, who profits, and why it’s starting to fall apart in real time. WATCH NOW: https://youtu.be/gxzlj_mLD1I

After publishing this last June, you don't get to claim that Iran's nuclear capability was a reason for the war.

Reading between the lines, Putin's losing the war and running scared. The photo is interesting - Trump's subservient body language. kyivindependent.com/putin-calls-...

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

A US President immediately alters the meaning of a speech by a British head of state, the past rewritten and memory corrected. That is the central theme for Winston Smith and Julia in this brilliant, challenging production of 1984. www.abbeytheatre.org.uk/whats-on/geo...

Inevitable…

I have posted a couple of issues with nobs on here tonight, but I’ll leave you with this gem regarding the master if nobism. Nighty night.

While Boris Johnson was mayor of London there were 72,000 knife attacks, 16,000 gun crime offences, and at least 62,000 racially motivated violent crimes. But apparently, those didn't count.

If it's true that Iran is behind the monstrous attacks on British Jews, it's a grotesque form of "hybrid warfare", targeting people who have nothing at all to do with Trump and Netanyahu's war, sowing fear and destabilisation. We stand in solidarity with the victims and resist attempts to divide us.

I've just emailed "Write to your MP: Demand a public inquiry into foreign interference" - Will you support the campaign too? actionstorm.org/petitions/wr... @OpenBritainHQ

Have just seen a harrowing, powerful, extraordinary production of 1984 at the Abbey Theatre St Albans. Timely drama - www.abbeytheatre.org.uk/whats-on/geo... www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Any UK journalists care to investigate why Farage donor Christopher Harborne, a British cryptocurrency investor, lives in Thailand? @theguardian.com @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

Tory Chancellors of the Exchequer over 14 years: George Osborne Philip Hammond Sajid Javid Rishi Sunak Nadhim Zahawi Kwasi Kwarteng Jeremy Hunt All of which managed to damage our economy in one way or another & never cared about growth. #PMQs

Tactical voting essential on May 7th! yougov.com/en-gb/articl...

This is neither illegal nor wrong Which is why Farage didn't tell anybody about his secret £5m bung from an offshore crypto oligarch, and when it was uncovered his party *literally* begged for more time to work out a response Like any law-abiding citizen would www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

How Volodymr Zelenskyy manages to survive in a literal war without a ballroom to keep him safe is just shocking to me.

Does Reform want mass deportations of immigrants and to retrospectively remove refugees’ asylum status? Is Reform led by a man with a track record of racist bullying and slurs against ethnic minorities? Is the party crawling with racist lunatics? Yes. Reform is racist. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There are between four and seven million CCTV cameras in the UK. Every day the average person is caught on CCTV around 70 times. In other news - there are just four more performances of 1984 in the Abbey Theatre Studio. #drama #dystopia www.abbeytheatre.org.uk/whats-on/geo...

Bee numbers are declining, a concern for us all. Bees are a key element of the world’s agricultural and ecosystems. They pollinate three-quarters of crops, linking their stability directly to our food security. We must also protect them simply as they are part of our world bsky.app/profile/sylv...

Everytime Charly looks at Melania, his first thought must be "has my brother been there"

This is not even newsworthy - it's obvious to anyone with eyes and ears. 'UK's ambassador to Washington Sir Christian Turner told a group of students that "probably only Israel" has a special relationship with the US at this time.'

😂😂👏👏👏

When and where is this week's assassination staging happening? Trump could sell tickets for MAGA to be there. *I shouldn't give him ideas... 🤪

You're paying 40% more for every gallon of gas vs. the start of Trump's war with Iran. Every cent of that is on Donald Trump.

Donald Trump said his mother, who was 36 years older than Charles, had a crush on him. Some things do run in the family. *cough* Epstein Island *cough*
