This is not satire. I repeat. This is not satire! www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05...

How on earth do Reform "top" the poll when Plaid are a percentage point ahead of them? The BBC are openly cheering for a Reform government at this point.

OK, there's got to be a dodgy roll on that table in the Crucible, yes?

I'm no fan of Starmer but I don't recall this kind of wall-to-wall media coverage when Boris Johnson elevated the Russian son of a KGB operative to the House of Lords. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

@aiannucci.bsky.social, was this you???

Most of the world today...

I feel that I'll be posting this again in only a matter of weeks.

Aye, but he's Scottish. The Yanks'll be outnumbered.

It shouldn't need this for the UK government to stop enabling ethnic cleansing from a rogue nation that has never been our ally. It really shouldn't. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

All the usual "Stand Your Ground", Second Amendment advocates have been remarkably quiet for the last 12 months...

These people have lost the fucking plot.

I don't know about you, but I don't think that there's going to be much demand overseas for a workforce of angry, xenophobic, monoglots with a couple of GCSEs between them...

Kemi Badenoch's shadow government is now further to the right that Nick Griffin's BNP were.

One of the many ludicrous points that stand out in the Tories' plans to strip potentially hundreds of thousands of UK residents of their leave to remain is section 3.4 below: 🧵

Why are all the UK news outlets reporting this proposed tax as a tax on landlords when anyone with on iota of the real world knows that it's inevitably going to be paid by their tenants as they pass the cost on? www.theguardian.com/money/2025/a...

Imagine what the UK would be like today if Nigel Farage's plane had hit the ground just a little bit harder all those years ago.

While it was regarded as pretty good evidence of criminality to be living in a slum, for some reason owning a whole street of them merely got you invited to the very best social occasions. - Terry Pratchett

Here we go again! #Trump #Musk #Fight

I'm beginning to think they don't know what they're doing... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

“We put all our politicians in prison as soon as they’re elected. Don’t you?” “Why?” “It saves time.” ― Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent

#Tesla fans and #ElonMusk worhsippers shouting about other car manufacturers doing Nazi things - in 1930s Germany, no less - is not the winning defence that they seem to think it is...

I'm surprised that Jordan Peterson agreed to do an interview with a DEI hire...

I thought I'd give #PMQs a try for the first time in several weeks to see if Kemi Badenoch had improved her game. Her very first question was a scattergun rant about "eco-zealots". I switched off. She's dreadful.

Only a few minutes since Wall Street opened and Tesla’s stock is already down 4.8%, making it one of the fastest fallers on the Nasdaq. #WallStreet #Nasdaq #Tesla

A bollard of my very own would look great on the balcony of my 4th floor flat.

For context, a climate change protester who planned a non-violent disruption of a UK motorway was recently given a five year sentence...

This is a polite reminder that if you are reading this, you are far more likely to become homeless than you are a multi-millionaire. Please save your energies and compassion for those in need rather than for the ludicrously wealthy who don't care one iota about you.

"Immigrants are bad. Stop the immigrants. Why are you allowing so many immigrants?" - Kemi Badenoch, December 2024 "When I came to this country from Nigeria*..." - Kemi Badenoch, November 2024

"[...]the number of daily active US users on X has dropped by 8.4% since early October, from 32.3 million to 29.6 million. The number of #Bluesky users has risen by 1,064%, from 254,500 to roughly 2.7 million since 6 October." So long, cesspit! www.theguardian.com/media/2024/d...

Interesting to see that The Poke is now linking to BlueSky quotes rather than Twitter. And that Lee Anderson is still a gobshite.

This is Milo, who I met in a local pub. He's two years old and he Thinks He's People. Here he is watching another dog that just went outside and he thinks it's very unfair that he can't go too.

The way I see it, America can do two significant things to prevent further events like this. 1. Introduce sensible gun control laws. 2. Reform their health care system so it serves its citizens rather than shareholders and CEOs. I suspect they will do neither. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

But who's going to ensure that every single airline or border force member of staff is aware of this advice? It will only need one overly zealous carrier or arrivals desk and we could see thousands of people denied rightful entry come January. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...

Liverpool are sitting pretty at the top of the football league, Bob Geldof has just released a Band Aid charity single for Christmas, and now South Korea is a military dictatorship. Is this the 80s again?

From what I understand, he's likely doing it to avoid various investigations into scandals surrounding his wife and some of his senior officials. Like Trump and Netanyahu, he could be clinging to power to avoid prosecution.

The more I see of #PMQs lately, the more I think that the PM should be allowed to reply to a clearly stupid question with a brisk "don't be so fucking stupid".

My brain whenever I click on a link to Twitter...

This is my first post on this new platform after joining earlier today. I'm 40% here for political news, current affairs and cool dogs, and 60% here to see if I can get @markhamillofficial.bsky.social to reply to any one of my posts. Let the impossible dream begin!
