The inimitable, irrepressible, Stephen Colbert, bowing out with grace and style. He will surely be back when sanity finally prevails.

Stephen Colbert can walk out of CBS tonight with his head held high. He has made so many people laugh for years! Whatever he wants to do next I am sure will be a success! Well done sir!

The reality after the local elections, not the bias situation spun by the news media.

Will HS2 be rebranded as SF1? Slightly Faster Line.

Just have to point out that Antoine Semenyo was discovered and nurtured by Bristol City FC after Arsenal, Spurs Millwall and Crystal Palace rejected him. That FA cup goal was made in Bristol.

Mother-in-Law reports HMS Elizabeth 2 off the coast of Newquay. Are they looking for the Straits of Hormuz or is the invasion of Wales imminent.

If Farage thinks this slogan will work in the Makerfield by-election, he is mistaken. Voting Andy Burnham is the more certain way to get rid of Starmer.

Can't help but notice that on James O'Brien's show today, the majority of people in favour of the posited leadership contest were male.

Sign this people. I have. It is vital for our democracy that we have genuine accountability for all MP's bsky.app/profile/refo...

It’s time for MPs to be accountable, rather than leaving it up to convention: Codify rules for MPs' attendance in Parliament & their constituency in statute petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

CALL TO ACTION!!! Please support the decent journalists actually holding Farage to account. Please share far and wide! 👊💥👍

Knock knock Who's there? Wes Streeting Wes Streeting who? That's politics!

People voted for Labour in 2024 not because of Labour's policies but because they wanted a change from the Tories. Now Labour behaving exactly like the Tories, allowing the media to set the agenda and committing familicide. Our politicians are devoid of political nuance. God help us.

Tax evasion. Someone should tell Nigel it's how they caught Capone.

You can legally gift £3,000 per tax year (6 April to 5 April) free of Inheritance Tax (IHT), Unlimited tax-free gifts are allowed to spouses/civil partners and for specific exemptions like wedding gifts or small gifts of £250. Why are HMRC not looking at Farage's gift?

I have great difficulty in believing that those people who assemble in Downing Street and yell questions at the politicians as they come and go are actually paid by someone.

How stupid do we the British people look when we send a sword and a dysfunctional hat in two separate horse drawn coaches, complete with escort and band, to the state opening of Parliament. Surely we should have outgrown these archaic rituals by now.

Please retweet.

A huge announcement in the King's Speech - what a pity it’s getting little media attention due to all the reporting on a possible leadership challenge. The government have pledged to introduce a new bill to abolish right-to-buy for new social homes.

If, heaven forbid, Farage becomes PM, he will get all the security he craves. How much of the £5 million gift will he return to Chakrit Sakunkrit? Maybe all of it, less the price of the house in Clacton.

There is no need for Starmer to resign. He has not wrecked the economy, illegally prorogued parliament or broken distancing rules. His only sin is to be last in a popularity contest with some other very unpopular people. If he wanted to win that then being Prime Minister is the wrong choice.

I am an advocate for proportional representation but I am not very enamoured by the use of lists. I still want a say in which person represents me but that person should not be a career politician who toes the party line in order to top the list.

How about a criminal investigation and a permanent ban from public life for taking bribes and lying to the electorate? A wrist slap for breaching a code, a suspension and by-election is more prize than punishment for tantrum-prone Farage who’s barely an MP anyway. observer.co.uk/news/politic...

It is clear the Union is over. Britain is really four nations sharing a common history and language. Instead of clinging to the past we need a system that will enable us to cooperate with each other, share common aims, trade through open borders but retain our separate identities. Bit like the EU.

Heard on Mr James O'Brien, a working class guy refer to real working class workers, not those in the public sector, not being helped by Labour so he voted Reform. It is a amazing how the rich can persuade the working class to vote against itself; like turkeys voting for Christmas.

Reform is a protest party. A protest against decency, integrity, kindness, expertise, and progress. It's a party of pettiness and hate, and it is made up of petty and hateful people from the grassroots to the very top. What it doesn't have is competence. So good luck with the bins and potholes.

James O'Brien just nailed it on LBC. What is the point of the Conservative Party? Answer: They are irrelevant. They have been parasitised by Reform. But Reform is a Parasitoid that has consumed its host leaving just an empty husk.

Local councils should match how we vote. They do in Scotland, N. Ireland and in Wales. Choose a fairer system. England is being left behind. Add your name to @electoralreform.bsky.social's call for everyone to have a vote that can make a difference. action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/2401/pe...

Commentators bigging up local elections as a referendum on Starmer's Labour Party. Get real people. In England, these are local elections. They decide who increases your council tax to spend on tatty flags instead of filling in pot holes. Starmer will still be there no matter who wins most seats

Beware Greeks bearing gifts. Farage is very naive if he thinks there are no strings attached to his £5 million "gift." Nearly all gifts are given with the latent expectation that at sometime the gesture will be reciprocated. Christopher Harborne will call in the favour one day.

One is a monster, who thrives on hatred and fear, and sucks the life out of society. A leach, who lives of others, always taking, never giving. The prince of lies. The other is Dracula

Why do we have to tolerate such unadulterated bollox from this hideous man? And why does the media give it all a veneer of potential respectability? Farage is pathologically corrupt and obscenely greedy. He’s a national security threat, a liar and a racist. Just say so. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A lot of disturbing polling this morning suggesting Reform will do well in the local elections because people are angry about the cost of living. How people, in your wildest imagination, can you think Reform will positively affect the cost of living? Wake up!

An 81-year-old woman who died last year is now being listed as a Reform UK voter, a YouTube channel, Political Custard, has revealed. The retired nurse from Derby, who passed away in October, is among a number of deceased people whose details appear to have been used by Reform UK.

As these things go - and it obviously won't impact on his diehard fans - this, from the Tories, is actually quite an impressive effort.

Yes. Stop Farage. Stop Reform. Stop the corruption. Stop the racism. Stop the misogyny. Stop the hatred. Stop the cruelty. Stop the incompetence. Stop the division. Stop the threats. Stop the fascism. Stop the failure. Just, ffs, stop him.

What strikes me about Reform's hideous threat to place detention centres in Green voting constituencies is that in closely fault seats where the Greens win 52% and Reform win 48% there will be a lot of unhappy Reform voters. Isn't that cutting off your nose to spite your face.

The reason for so much feverish agitation for Starmer's removal is our tendency to conflate the office of Prime Minister with that of President. Removing the PM will not change a government or necessarily alter its direction of travel. Starmer is PM until he chooses to call an election.

Not belittling the Jewish experience in Golders Green, the issue is surely one of more protection for citizens per se. Nottingham, Stockport, Golders Green involve mentally ill people treated in the community. Under funded, the system is inadequate at ensuring the care of these unfortunates.

Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

For the first time ever, I was not in lockstep with James O'Brien today. I thought his criticism of Polanski today lacked his usual nuanced approach. Filling the show with calls from ex-met police officers hardly provided an insight. He should reserve the word "appalling," for Farage, and Jenrick,

Math Question What is 17294 divided by 2? Warning: revealing the correct answer in the USA could result in your being indicted and facing 20yrs in jail.

Mass deception. Campaigning on national issues in local leaflets is misling the public. Voting Reform will not remove the government and local councillors cannot change national policy. You are voting for a local representative. The government remains in power until 2029.

A man who in my humble opinion exudes wisdom and gentleness in equal measure. One of the few British men in public life worthy of our esteem. act.38degrees.org.uk/act/sign-sir...

Looking forward to greeting your new Reform councillor on May 8th? ...No? THEN GET OUT AND VOTE!!! #localelections #reform #labour #greenparty #libdems #tories

Jimmy Kimmel: "Melania meet Donald. Donald meet Melania. That's my Jeffrey Epstein impression." Just love that guy. He should invite King Charles on to his show.
