The disdain is palpable. Classic elite behaviour. How dare someone question my views, it’s beneath me to speak to these people. Just another bunch of Toffs pretending to speak for the common person

Hungary, please please please reject Orban in April!

“Wagner recruiters who specialised in persuading young men from Russia’s hinterland to fight in Ukraine have been given a new task — recruiting economically vulnerable Europeans to carry out violence on Nato soil, the officials said”

Go 🇬🇧 🥇 🥇 🥇

Very interesting thread.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski just schooled Czech Deputy Prime Minister Petr Macinka into accepting that the European Union operates as a democracy. Populists have nowhere to hide when met with hard facts. An extraordinary exchange. Well worth a watch.

Very important that more people understand this.

Labour improving the NHS Waiting lists down to lowest level in 3 years 400,000 more treatments and operations in 2025 And the best bit, the improvements are ACCELERATING!!

I think a lot of sane people dismissed conspiracy theories but we live in a time when conspiracy theories are true. Russia did help Trump win the 2016 election. There really was a group of elite pedos trafficking children. Trump does think that people don't have the right to have guns. Topsy-Turvy

SEN. KAINE: “You said American whites are victims of a cultural genocide… are they represented in the senate? House? Presidency? CEO’s?” Trump’s white nationalist pick for a top state department spot Jeremy Carl skewered by @kaine.senate.gov

The general public may not be there yet. But Starmer focused on what should be the #1 issues for voters….. Russia, defence, and NATO

Stop using Amazon Stop using X Stop using Meta Stop using Google Stop using Netflix etc. etc. Use European alternatives. Stop feeding the monopolies which are hurting us.

We still talk about Starmer's speech that used a different phase to Powell, and had a very different meaning. Strangely we don't talk about Farage fully endorsing Powell's message, agreeing with the meaning, and claiming he wasn't a racist (I guess like with his school mates, 'there was no intent')

London is a wonderful multi-cultural success of a city. Zahawi is a failed ex-Tory, expenses cheat, and tax cheat who lied and lost in court. He a lying charlatan, who treated taxpayers with contempt. Habitual liars lie. It's no deeper than that.

Donald Trump is a wholly owned subsidiary of Big Oil and Big Coal. He's literally stopping coal plants from shutting down after receiving nearly half a billion dollars from the industry during the 2024 campaign.

After Nathan Gill, yet more links from Reform back to Russian money.

Imagine if the focus of our media was policy rather than anonymous political briefings and sensationalism.

Large increase in low-deposit mortgage availability. Interest rates, and hence mortgage rates, falling. Wages increasing faster than house prices. Maybe some good signs for the future….

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Tax cheat defending a tax exile. Reform the party of millionaires complaining about the state of the U.K., while not paying their fair share, and blaming the poor. Plastic patriots!

Very well said….. He doesn’t even live here. Another plastic patriot

Very well said @jakerichardsmp.bsky.social Ratcliffe is a massive hypocrite

“The representation of the people bill, to be introduced in the House of Commons on Thursday, will require companies to demonstrate that they are headquartered in the UK, majority owned or controlled by UK electors or citizens and have generated sufficient revenue to cover the donation”

Every bit of this….

The incompetence, and arrogance is astounding

“We will always seek every opportunity to grow our economy and these trading relationships but ultimately only one of these is on our doorstep, and so the biggest prize is closer integration with Europe,” she will say.

She’s soo far out of her depth…

Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended "This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime" "I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

LIEU: These two photos staring you in the face are evidence of a crime and more than enough evidence to predicate an investigation into former Prince Andrew. So why did you shut down this investigation? BONDI: I don't believe you asked Merrick Garland these questions LIEU: You are in charge

Swalwell plays Bondi a clip of Kash Patel *lying under oath* about how many times Trump's name appears in the Epstein files

Such an awful person

Raskin to Bondi: "You're running a massive Epstein coverup right out of the Department of Justice... You ignored the law and even with over 100,000 employees at your disposal, you acted with some mixture of staggering incompetence, cold indifference and jaded cruelty to more than 1000 victims".

Former MI6 Chief Richard Moore: “Putin would already have lost were it not for the Chinese support he has garnered. Xi is behind Putin.”

Why does life feel so scary? And how do we fix it? 👇🏾

After the Russian authorities restrict access to popular messaging app Telegram, one Russian MP calls the measure ’Defence of the information frontline…one of the components of the battle between Russia and Nato.’ The restrictions are widely reported in today’s Russian papers. #ReadingRussia

They’re not the Epstein Files. They’re the Donald J. Trump Epstein Files!

“You have to lower your expectations from Biden’s job numbers.”

Great stuff from Ed Miliband here. Labour are doing great things to describe the electricity grid by 2030 A huge target which will transform the UK!

Isn’t the shadow attorney general, Lord Wolfson, working for the sanctioned oligarch Abramovich as bad as what Mandelson has been accused of?

@bengoldsborough.bsky.social clearly laying out that a vote for Reform is a vote for Putin

Yep, equally applies to Reform in the U.K. See Lee Anderson resorting to criticising Angela Rayners looks today, when he looks like a bag of spanners himself!

These feels like a very significant offer of support for councils from Labour

Darren Jones: "The government is committed to the principle that second jobs for MPs should be banned, outside of very limited exceptions.”

While the focus is currently on Mandelson and Mone. The real win here will be getting rid of Lebedev

🗳 Clevedon South By-election 🗳 After the Labour by-election win last week it is worth looking at the results. We are all used to a dodgy Lib Dem bar chart or two over the years but in this election it is worth looking at the campaign bar charts used by two parties, Labour and Green.

Farag encouraging his supporters to not pay their council tax, and end up with CCJ’s and black marks on their credit records!!

Good to see Keir Starmer taking the opportunity to bring in new legislation to hold people to account. Especially love the proposal to ban 2nd jobs (with limited exemptions)

From today’s Russian papers: cucumber prices in Russia jump 42.85% in a month, number of loss-making companies rising, wage arrears growing, “…gap between pensions & wages increasing.” #ReadingRussia
