No, due to Brexit… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Every time I sat across the desk from Stephen Colbert, I knew we'd have a conversation that was about more than just getting laughs. Alongside his great wit, Stephen brought deep thoughtfulness, empathy, and humility to the late-night stage. Here's to a next chapter as brilliant as the last.

100% this. The biggest threat to Cis women is the politics and attitudes of Cis men!

I'm not surprised Starmer (63) or Streeting (Christian headbanger) don't get this, but I'd have thought she'd be young and in touch enough to realise how much of a Nope this is for younger progressive voters. As a negative character tell, it's up there with e.g. supporting fox-hunting.

A weary truth of modern British politics: politicians, Labour included, rarely ask whether something is pointless or vindictive. They ask whether it helps them ape Reform’s talking points for the next news cycle. Everything else is secondary.

Anyone who knows a trans person, who has been living their new life quietly for decades, would recognise this for the shameful cruelty that it is.

This is what the actual ‘Westminster bubble’ is. Surrounded by lobbyists and an obsessed press they think they’re doing something noble. When in fact it’s just cruel. Expect more losses to the greens/lib dems from this as well we all have families who will never vote labour now.

There seems to be a broad streak of authoritarianism, xenophobia and sheer spite in Starmer’s Labour Party. Truly shameful behaviour on so many fronts: islamophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-trans rights, still trying to appease the repulsive criminal in the White House. Wrong on every moral issue.

The bathroom ban in particular has no reason to exist, no basis in the supreme court ruling, and will likely be overturned in a human rights challenge. Why would you do it, unless you had lost all sense of moral decision-making.

That is absolutely SHITE. I hate her. I hate them all for their careless abusive stupidity

May has been treated kindly by history to date, mostly by virtue of her bad political choices being dressed in the clothes of regular politics Having spent time recently with Lancaster House speech, totally agree with David

DeGaulle was prepared to break up the whole EU project himself to prevent the UK becoming a member. Fortunately for Europe he had a worthy adversary in Monnet.

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol. He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up.

Nigel Farage’s claim that he paid for a £1.4mn house with his fee from a reality TV show has been challenged by corporate accounts that appear to show that the income remained on his company’s balance sheet after the property purchase. www.ft.com/content/88ce...

the president of the united states sued his own government for ten billion dollars and “settled” it by directing that government to use taxpayer money for a nearly two billion dollar slush fund to distribute to his political allies at will typing it out barely feels real

More than 50 vessels departed from the Turkish port city of Marmaris last week.

Best line up in possible given the injury situation. Hopefully Mo can get on . #LFC

⬇️ Economy down £240bn. ⬇️ Investment down 18%. ⬇️ 4000 fewer doctors in the NHS. ⬇️ £90bn less in tax revenue. 💰 All so he could pocket a few quid. He doesn't care about the working class, he is taking the country for a mug.

This makes me feel much better about my job selling cigarettes to 11-year old Vietnamese kids as part of a money laundering front for the Wagner Group.

BREAKING: Reform UK leader Nigel Farage bought a £1.4 million property in cash shortly after receiving a £5m personal gift from billionaire donor Christopher Harborne, according to property records seen by Sky News.

Nearly 50,000 people around Lake Tahoe have been told their utility will stop providing them power because that electricity is being redirected to Nevada data centers. This is beyond cruel.

People will be like ‘Bluesky is all academics & historians’ & I’ll be like, ‘You mean the people who enthusiastically tell me the coolest shit I ever heard?????’

So you're telling me that cutting tariffs leads to lower prices? Fascinating.

I’m genuinely baffled by this. It’s risen probably 15% here in London in the same time and we don’t have anywhere near the US’s oil reserves. I’m sure there a con and a grift attached to this. #gasprices #oil #iranwar #Trump

…hey, come on, at least Sir Keir defends those Brexit red lines like a Catholic priest guarding the holy water. Seriously though, Starmer fails at everything that requires actual ambition or the guts to push for real change — especially when that change comes with inconvenient facts attached.

If you're immensely wealthy, and you dodge millions in tax, that's totally fine. If you're not wealthy, and you try and save a bob or two on tax or tax advisers, the Gods will strike you down. Them's the rules in Britain and Rayner and Polanski have only themselves to blame.

Sounds a bit like Peter Odemwingie driving to QPR on deadline day

He'll be delayed by having to stop at Nuneaton to acclimatise himself to people being less straightforward and friendly than they are in the north.

Former Prime Minister of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim, stated that Iran will not abandon its nuclear program, citing Ukraine's nuclear disarmament as a key argument. According to him, Tehran views its nuclear program as a matter of national survival and state sovereignty.

It’s ok. You’ll be alright. But it’s time. Let’s get your coat and I’ll walk you home. #starmer

Reform UK’s new councillor Michael Quigley of Houghton South & Hetton Downs, Sunderland thinks immigrants should be “shot on site” (sic) by our armed forces and transported to an island. Horrific.

My kind of manager #Iraola #LFC #Alonso #Slot

If I was going to get us a new manager it wouldn’t be Alonso. His style isn’t what we want. He’s much more Guardiola than Klopp. We’re linked with the wrong Spaniard. I want Iraola. His football is much more Klopp like. #LFC #Slot #Alonso

Spurs came to Anfield in March on a run of six straight defeats and in crisis. Chelsea came here today the exact same: six defeats and in freefall. Dr. Arne Slot's Liverpool were the perfect remedy for both, with their points gained at our gaff. This season keeps plunging to new depths. #lfc

A “hero voter” is an older, white Brexiter apparently. “Hero” FGS. Building your governing strategy around the prejudices and fears of that narrow-minded demographic is doomed. We’ve been pandering to Brexiters for a decade and it’s been utterly shit. Maybe the rest of us could get a look-in now.

Can’t we just assume they all fit into one of those categories yet? I think we can. And it’s very safe to say… this isn’t a bunch of people you’d trust with your social care or your SEND provision.

It’s going to be a busy few weeks keeping track of all the racists, criminals & weirdos elected on Farage’s ticket.

Anyone else think if Elliot had played in same position and same amount of games as Wirtz he’d easily have matched his numbers? I really don’t like how Slot manages the squad. He’s so stubborn on playing his favourites and excluding those he dislikes like Elliot and Chiasa. #LFC #Notgoodenoughforme
