Thought it was time to update my State of the Parties file. Honestly just a bit dissapointed we've had so few by-elections.

So is this Polanski supporting the strategy of the Government in sending troops (well one person) to Greenland. Which was opposing Trump that has resulted in the tariffs? Or is it that we should have nuked the US to avoid the tariffs? What's this asking for...

The nobel peace prize as a whole is becoming less meaningful. Not that it was that meaningful to begin with, but hopefully starts being less respected.

Incredibly, no-one on Nigel Farage’s team has got round to deleting this post. It’s still live as Robert Jenrick gives his big defection speech.

Well he couldn't actuallt defect from the Conservatives after they got rid of him, but he was set on defecting, so defected from Reform immediately.

If this was similiar to the show, it would actually be Jenrick having been voted out revealing he was actually Faithful.

As damaging as possible? He was planning to defect to Your Party?

I'm half expecting him to go rogue and claim Greeland for Britain.

I'd be happy for the UK and France to add military presence, could issue a statement along the lines of: "With the US President reporting Greenland is under threat from Russia and China we have positioned Nuclear Submarines in the North Atlantic ready to defend Greenland against *any* attack"

Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

Not sure i'd say they turned it off, they just made CSAM and nonconsensual sexual imagery into a premium feature... Whcih i'm sure is exactly what everyone was demanding...

So we know the next leader of Venezuala is still going to be keeping it a dictatorship.

Does he genuinely think this will help him get the Nobel Peace Prize?

It is nice that even among such tragedy we see the positives in humanity too. Putting himself at such risk to save others. This is done in view of the other gunman. This hero was shot twice, but recovering.

I'm surprised she didn't manage a 0 star review.

Correcting an earlier error - “You’ll have to prize it from my cold dead hands” was not, in fact, a design suggestion.

Just been looking into this ridiculous story, she's lying saying she's "British U-14 girls champion" because she only won the championship specifically for british u-14 girls... Subheadings saying she was actually only 26th. The 'winner' in that definition came 16th with a score of -1 (Reeves -2).

"The chase is on" That just ensures Max will just grow the gap from here on out then.

Honestly, that's an improvement. Normally they'd have more factions than MPs.

This #InternationalMensDay we’re reminded that suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK. We all have mental health, and talking about it matters. Check in with the men in your life. Reach out. A small conversation can make a big difference.

Ah a genuinely good move.

Mamdani up another two points on this alone

NEW: Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado awarded Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel Peace Prize not going to someone who declared war on American states? Weird.

Nice for there to be a tweet from Lowe that's I can share positively.

I's like to say it's more chaotic than i expected. Not entirely sure that's true though.

Read every word of this thread. Far too many people are not taking seriously the violence that Musk is encouraging.

We have polling now. And it shows people think he isn't. If he continues as he has, nothing will be different in May, we'll just be 7 months on. Sure he can change things, he just needs to start acting like a leader NOW. (With more messages like he issued today, but needs to be stronger still)

Hallelujah. Well said 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

👇 Leadership matters and does change things. (A smaller scale version of this is watching people on here who have a red rosette where their own moral compass should be sharing a statement that only earlier this morning they thought it was Actually Wise Not To Make)

My thoughts are with yet another group of children and their families, traumatised by yet another school shooting this afternoon, in Evergreen, CO. abcnews.go.com/US/shooting-...

HORRIBLE. SICKENING. UNACCEPTABLE. In a democracy we settle our differences with words, ideas & actions, not hatred, guns & violence. #ShameOnUS

A giant in the world of electoral politics, polling and public opinion - his name pops up regularly in the "British General Election Of..." books for decades. RIP

“department of extrajudicial drone strikes” just doesn’t have the same ring to it

*rubs hands* Looking forward to the next few years of saying "Hypnotits says what now?" every time the new leader of the Greens opens his mouth.

Well, that was not close.

Unlike yesterday's 4 suspensions think this one is probably fair. How you go from apologising saying the letter wasn't ever supposed to be sent in that state to no regret I don't know... Yesterdays suspensions were still idiotic. (though no issue with the stripping of trade envoy roles)

Great piece by @jburnmurdoch.ft.com on why Europe needs to get serious about air-con www.ft.com/content/50f6...

I hope that is true. Because that is hilarious.

Every week we ask who Britons would vote for - this week we asked who they'd vote *against* Here's what a negative voting intention looks like: 🌹Lab 23% ➡️ Ref: 22% 🌳 Con: 10% 🌏 Green: 4% 🐦‍ LD: 4%

This is, fortunately, wrong on so many levels.

Amazing how quickly some people can change their mind www.economist.com/united-state...

Suspect believed to be pretending to be a police officer. I'm sure that'll cause no issues with everything else going on in America.

It was the "I love Trump as much as a straight man can love another man." one right?

Counterpoint - it is

Boris Johnson: White British Boris Johnson's Children: Not White British - because of Boris Johnson.

Seems they managed to find the explanation that makes the whole issue worse.

Taliban's freedoms continue to be clear. Even chess can't be allowed because it could promote gambling? Pretty sure if that applies to Chess it can easilly be applied to *everything*.
