When are the proud and patriotic people who put up all the lamppost flags going to come back and replace them now that they’re ragged and torn?

I reckon I’d need a minimum of £20m to sell out the country. Although let’s say £100m so there’s a bit of a safety net 🤭

Our entire political conversation - under a labour government - has taken a huge shift to the right. We can't let this be normalised. leftfootforward.org/2025/11/excl...

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

NEW - D-Day Veteran Removed From Remembrance Parade After Forgetting His Poppy Full story here: mrhenrymorris.substack.com/p/d-day-vete...

When I first brought this up about 7 years ago in the wake of Brexit - an elderly gentleman rang into the local radio station I was appearing on and said that "while he respected my opinion" I should be shot. That was it for me. After a lifetime of poppy wearing, I stopped.

I’ve had my coat for over 10 years and have only just unpicked the stitches in the outside pockets 🤭

Can’t tell if depressed, burned out, or emotionally exhausted.

I just played a fun game with my friend over WhatsApp. Which is Trump's bathroom and which is Sadam Hussain's?

Ta shenn Oie Houney, Hop-tu-naa! T'an eayst soilshean, Trol-la-laa! Hop-tu-naa as Trol-la-laa, Ta shenn Oie Houney, Hop-tu-naa! 🇮🇲🎃🇮🇲

Reminder: Here's what Nigel Farage tried to take away from you this week...

The former Duke of York Once gave twelve million quid To a women he said he’d never met For a thing he “never did” The King took his titles away So he isn’t a Prince anymore But you’ll never see him break a sweat While he’s still above the law

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform.... Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally. It's time for Proportional Representation. www.thenational.scot/news/2558507...

Politicians from Labour, Tories, and Reform are currently inciting hatred and violence against disabled people. The media is complicit in this as well. They are knowingly harming and killing disabled people And too much of the public is ignorant, so go along with it.

I tasted some plain cocoa powder earlier out of curiosity and the bitterness has imprinted on my tongue so much that even sugar isn’t taking it away 🤣

Found this on Facebook, and I became an immediate fan. Figuratively speaking, of course.

This is exactly like: Plaid Cymru wins by-election, in spite of the media doing everything it could to bolster Reform BBC et al: " ;______; noooo it's not fair it was farage's turn noooo why didn't reform win ;__;" Farage: "THIS WAS DUE TO AN ANTI-REFORM ALLIANCE >:("

Genuinely why is the BBC running push alerts every single time an asylum seeker does anything bad? They do not do this every time a white man assaults someone or murders someone. It is an endless scaremongering tactic completely unbefitting a national broadcaster.

What’s it like inside your head?

There’s an accent in England that I’ve only ever heard middle-class gay men use and I have no idea where it comes from 👀

Hope, not hate.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

You have people for whom stress can quite literally kill them, having stress piled onto them by cruel Government policies and “reforms” of disability benefits. I don’t think people understand just how serious even the worry and anxiety can be.

Shabana Mahmood said "just because you have a freedom doesn't mean to have to use it at every moment of every day". If the Govt places restrictions on who can exercise freedoms, and when, then it isn't freedom at all. Freedom to protest, to be loud and inconvenient, is the cornerstone of democracy.

Apparently some people wash their plastic toilet seats in the dishwasher… 💀💀💀

If I shared this as a shitpost version of what Trump said at the Netanyahu celebration people would chuckle and say "you've done it again, Sooz" but it's just what he literally said.

Calling a protest a “pro-[something] protest” sounds weird to me because in my mind a protest is always against something, even though the original Latin etymology means something like a public declaration 😅

New map of the UK just dropped.

Again. Labour isn't complicit in this - they're ramping it up. Labour has been worse than the Conservatives ever were in their 14 years on this issue. I'm nine years into a wait at the moment, and the latest news is that it'll be over 200 years before my GIC will see me? And remember - 1/2

Maybe disconnecting the internet would be a net positive thing for humanity after all. With great power comes great responsibility, and we just can’t be trusted.

Daily Peanuts!

What’s an appropriate age to just give up and stop trying anymore? Asking for a friend.

Imagine being a landlord and not replacing the carpets for 15 whole years and then asking your tenant to replace them 😬

When they asked questions about sexuality and gender identity on the Census for the first time I was worried they might not like the answer and use it as an excuse to roll back rights. But I didn’t expect that they’d be able to make so much progress so quickly.

Oh no why is that prick on my timeline again I could have sworn I put his name on the list of muted words 😭

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

perfect detail

I'd actually forgotten how extraordinary it is that when I won the leadership - I wasn't interviewed as it was too close to our party conference interviewed. And then refused a second time! Part of the antidote to all of this is creating our own media platforms. Hey @boldpolitics.bsky.social 👋🏼

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Power and money fogs the mind.

"We have allowed public spaces to develop where everything is done to prevent reason, since, ultimately, the order of merit is that emotion is superior to argument and that negative emotion is superior to positive emotion."

Absolutely delighted to discover that the Manx first name ‘Juan’ is pronounced ‘JOO-an’ and not at all like the Spanish name of the same spelling 😝

I hate this fucking place.

Spot the difference?

😔

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Just walked past a bungalow with an elderly couple sat out on the front porch. I’ve said a friendly hello to them a few times in the past. This time they glared at me. They have an England flag hanging by the front door. I wonder why 🙄
