Stop platforming Farage and his racist party #reform #farage @skynewsrss.bsky.social #bbcnews #media #racists

Finally some recognition of the devastation Brexit has caused to the economy and therefore British people. If you feel poorer you are going to look around for an answer to your problems; perhaps this when we start to rehabilitate Britain. @theguardian.com#brexit www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine. My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask: Why, even now, is no-one asking questions? t.co/BUTtpK9C4S

'Farage Boats' is a useful term and should be normalised.

@starmer #trump #starmer I have the solution to Kier’s problems: change his name. Become a man of the people, embrace his working class Rodney/tool makers roots and become Kev Starmer. 100% vote winner.

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law. These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.

Compose a list of the worst MAGA policies and watch Reform UK promise to implement them. We need to resist them now not in 4 years time when it’s too late. #reform #politics #racists @mrjamesob.bsky.social @ottoenglish.bsky.social

Worth sharing what Reform UK don’t want you to have, just so they can further their racist aims. The protections of the ECHR are for each and every one of us! www.echr.coe.int/documents/d/... #reform #echr @echr.coe.int @gavinesler.bsky.social @theguardian.com

Let's hang Farage's "ICE-style enforcement" around his neck like a concrete albatross. Let's show people what that looks like. A majority does not want this.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... It has started! It was only a matter of time for AI to be used for ill. Part of me would like a global mandate around AI governance and controls, but the cynic in me says certain nations would not adhere to it. #AI

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Stop doing this! They’re not in government, they don’t determine policy, so stop the reporting on these climate denying c***s! #ukmedia #media #bbc

Forget Oasis, this is my 90s…in my bedroom, lights out, headphones on, utterly immersed. Poring over the lyrics & discovering Dylan Thomas. An ageless LP from a band who never stopped reaching for their best. #chamberlain #splitlip #90s #oasis #hardcore #rock #emocore @adamrubenstein.bsky.social

I’ve completed Ben Coates! I recommend all 3 of his books! I naively assumed the Rhine was mainly industrial, but the book set me straight . I’ll add Basel to the list of places to visit. Another excellent book which is part travelogue, part history, and lots of humour! @bencoates1.bsky.social

#Alaska #Trump #Ukraine Alaska Summit Prediction:Trump will entirely sell-out Ukraine making it impossible for them to accept the deal. He'll sell it as a peace deal for the ages, even though he will have been entirely manipulated by Putin. USA will withdraw all support for Ukraine. Putin wins.

“Rewarding an aggressor has never led to peace, and it never will. The only language bullies understand is one of strength and principle, whether they happen to be in Caracas or in Moscow.” My latest piece in @washingtonpost.com on the upcoming Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... it's just not news and the sooner the media learns to ignore the rants of an ignorant old man the better. #ukmedia #bbc #trump

Cutting 20p off fuel duty blows a £9.1bn hole - nearly the entire home office budget. Total uncosted, populist wank. And scrapping half-built HS2? No refunds for concrete bridges. It’s smog, spin, and economic fantasy. Farage is a batshit crazy idiot. #ukpilitics

Starmer needs to accept that Israel is not an ally. Aid drops are fine, but not the answer. The European allies need to support Palestine and forget Israel. Simply put, Netanyahu is the equivalent of a genocidal dictator. #starmer #labour #palestine #genocide #israel #netanyahu

Seen in Glastonbury #freepalestine #palestine #gaza #palestineaction

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink was a Dutch striker for Celtic. “Of” in Dutch means “Or”…choose a surname, Jan!

I’m not sure Brewdog represents craft beer in the UK, it’s very much a fallen behemoth on its own, sitting outside of the true independents. For me it ended as soon as James Watt showed his bullying/unpleasant side. www.newstatesman.com/culture/life... #craftbeer #brewdog @newstatesman.com

@lbc.co.uk Wow, 12:30pm on a Saturday and LBC/Ali Miraj is happy to have a self confessed racist called Simon appear and spout hatred….then gets a thank you from @alimiraj.bsky.social. What has happened to this station! #racistbritain #lbc

Great to see @theguardian.com highlighting how the co-op supermarket in Brighton is trying to push out a wonderful, thriving small business @sevencellars.bsky.social 100% will not use a co-op as a result. www.theguardian.com/business/202... #coop #brighton #beer

Homage perfectly captures the strangeness of war: one moment dull, pedestrian, hoping for action; the next barbaric, frantic, frightening. Homage charts the interregnum between a free society and approaching fascism. Sounds familiar in 2025. #books #orwell

www.theguardian.com/business/202... Not exactly a surprise is it! Just rejoin the customs union. Forget having to cut welfare just get back to the GDP we enjoyed before the fucked up brexit #brexit

Once again Trump praises despots but castigates a large democratic group of nations to show his true colours. #trump #twat

Incredible storytelling: powerful, humorous, thought-provoking. It channels Twain to craft a story which takes you places you hadn’t imagined (let alone wanted to go), churns you up, and spits you out a better person. @percivaleverett.bsky.social

It's not Bake Off. It's a global far-right insurgency. To normalise Nigel Farage, is to normalise Donald Trump. We, the media, have to wise up fast. broligarchy.substack.com/p/springtime...

Very enjoyable read; I’m a sucker for books that weave history into the present day. I love the city and I’m eager to get back to explore a few new areas. Definitely read Why the Dutch are Different too. @bencoates1.bsky.social Sidebar, Russell Shorto’s history of Amsterdam is also fantastic!

What has happened to this country when a venue feels the need to post this; so pleased to be a member of the Dome though. @dorianlynskey.bsky.social

I’m not an economist, but… The U.S. goods trade surplus with the United Kingdom was $11.9 billion in 2024, a 17.4 percent increase ($1.8 billion) over 2023. ustr.gov/countries-re... @mrjamesob.bsky.social @iandunt.bsky.social #tariffs #trump

Elbows up!!

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... So much to unpack but more proof, if proof was needed, of the shifting sands of Western geopolitics. Gone is the reliability of the US as an ally, replaced with its unfettered fealty to autocrats. @anneapplebaum.bsky.social @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Straight out of the autocrats playbook www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I can’t recommend this enough. Relevant for any period in human history but absolutely vital for 2025. The epilogue is a call-to-arms for us all. @anneapplebaum.bsky.social @dorianlynskey.bsky.social @iandunt.bsky.social

Becky Burke is a British comic book artist (R E Burke) and has been detained by ICE in the US. Know any lawyers that can help her?

No wonder Musk prefers Lowe to Farage @skynewsrss.bsky.social #reformuk #reformtwats apple.news/Ag9NyC5MUTsO...

The only decent outcome from all this bollocks in the US www.theguardian.com/politics/202... @theguardian.com @iandunt.bsky.social

Stability builds confidence. Fact. A president who flip-flops on a daily basis over tariffs, Ukraine, and economic decisions makes things unstable. Fact. I'm not seeing anything from the president that is helping America and I genuinely feel for "normal" Americans. #trump

Trump is an utter imbecile, completely facile, with bearly a grasp of reality & vocabulary. He spouts utter nonsense because he doesn't have the mental faculty/acuity to understand problems. 2 things he's good at: 1) Lying 2) Re-framing the past as if he was a superman to fix all the problems #trump

Trump is a M O R O N #trump

BREAKING: Elon Musk's rocket explosion nearly hit a commercial flight. This kind of content is being downranked on X. Please share it here. This is so dangerous.

Please don't let Donald see this.

I'm very much enjoying the Guardian article on the sabotage of undersea cables; the presentation of the article makes it easy to understand for my tiny brain @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

Time to boycott BP - we need to pivot towards renewables not away from them (add Shell into that). Profiteering at the expense of us all. Ultimately, reducing our personal reliance on oil/gas is the only way forward. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In a little over a month Trump has turned America into the Godfather Part IV with his Ukraine protection scheme. 100% Racketeering. "You need protection, we can protect you for $500bn." Europe needs its own RICO Act to combat Trump.

If your instinct tends a bit towards catastrophising - not unreasonable right now - and asserting confidently an opinion along the lines of: "all is lost, US is done, nobody can do a thing, may as well calm down, go home, and wait for the end," stop and ask who benefits from people pushed to apathy.
