#martinlewis can confirm the @octopus.energy personalised sine curve is really helpful @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com

The black hole in Durham County Council’s budget has grown by £11.1mn in the past two months under the control of Reform UK. Its cabinet has been forced to approve a £10mn list of cuts.

Zohran Mamdani correctly blames Donald Trump for the fake bomb threats called in to disrupt elections across New York.

Please @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com could you not use X for your TV polling etc? Many of us do not use that app due to the racist and fascist owner who is interfering in our politics.

Nigel Farage & Alex Phillips have been awfully quiet about Nathan Gill pleading guilty to eight counts of bribery relating to pro-Russia statements made in European parliament and articles. Just wanted to refresh their memories about how they were all a team through that period.

While Kemi Badenoch follows in the ‘drill baby-drill’ footsteps of Trump/Farage, the people who actually know (aka climate scientists) are bringing forward the risk (by 50 yrs) of a collapse in the Atlantic circulatory system (AMOC) that protects the UK from severely cold temperatures #ClimateCrisis

Farage appeared to deliberately conflate the European Convention on Human Rights with the European Union - the ECHR and its European Court of Human Rights are part of a completely separate and different legal system to the EU , and he knows it

Happy #Caturday

We must resist this with everything we have.

Note the clarity of language in this reporting from Metro, a free UK tabloid. Britain's national broadcaster is institutionally incapable of doing this.

Dom Joly dropping a Glastonbury exclusive that Charlie Mullins from Pimlico Plumbers is doing the legends slot at the festival today. The BBC will probably cut this from the schedule due to its honesty and criticism of Reform.

New political ad just dropped. Thanks, Mitch!

Over 10 million people would lose health care under Medicaid if Trump's budget bill passes. Mitch McConnell says we'll "get over it." Think he's right?

Hahahahaha!

The American gestapo.

We would submit the administration is already ignoring Congress.

State Rep @jamestalarico.bsky.social gives a master class in Republican hypocrisy 🔥 The Texas House passed the Ten Commandments bill in an 82-46 vote… on the Sabbath, breaking the Fourth Commandment in the process.

I hope you all unfollowed Tapper on this app ...

Absolutely right @juergenmaier.co.uk 👏

Chris Murphy: "Let's be clear what this trip is all about. This is President Trump's corruption tour of the Middle East. He is going to the gulf to collect tribute. What's happening here is an extraordinary level of corruption. We shouldn't pretend this is business as usual."

Hugely misleading headline in the Daily Mail. This only applies to Indian workers who are seconded to the UK from a company based in India on a short term basis. India nationals applying for jobs based in the UK will not benefit from this convention and it does not disadvantage UK workers

More leaders should follow Mark Carney’s lead. Trump needs to be told in public, in front of cameras when he is talking shit.

Late for #Caturday but Saffie says happy Easter 😺🥚

Huge schools change this week to save parents £450 is 'something the Tories would never do' www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Hitler and his propaganda machine used manipulated photos and visual propaganda to spread lies about Jewish people. Hitler’s regime weaponized images, often faked, staged, or taken out of context, to dehumanize Jews and justify genocide.

Stephen Miller says that returning Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US would amount to "kidnapping" a citizen of El Salvador

Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

"You should have never started it," he (Trump) said. The Kremlin has previously accused Ukraine of starting the war against Russia. "It was they who started the war in 2014. Our goal is to stop this war. And we did not start this war in 2022," Russian President Vladimir Putin said

Jeez. Did Trump really just say President Zelensky started the war with Russia? Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous dictator called Vladimir Putin FACTS MATTER

LIVE: Fox presenters’ souls leave their body as they’re forced to finally tell the truth about tariffs. Here, the story a small business making products for kids with special needs. Its tariff bill has gone from $26,000 to $346,000. Fatal. A fate Fox deserves for months of tariff disinformation.

What is the matter with these people? #FascistMAGA

It will come as no surprise to anyone to hear Trump’s Tariff Formula has been slammed as ‘fake’ and incredibly stupid’ by experts www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...

Er... "1984"

BBC reports that Reform candidate Stephen Hartley standing in Oxford has stepped down following revelation that in 2022 he called Jimmy Savile a "working class hero" on twitter. Er... it's A LOT worse than that! This is full blown "Dolphin Square" and "Nick" territory

Word of the day is ‘quiddler’ (18th century): one who focuses on unimportant issues while avoiding the important ones, or who fiddles/plays golf while Rome burns.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

The top 7 donors gave over $1bil to Trump. This is how an oligarchy entrenches itself in a democracy.

The World Cup in 2026 should definitely be taken away from the US. ⚽️🏆 America is clearly not safe to travel to. 🇺🇸 ❌ Note that it was a joint US-Canada-Mexico bid that won… so Canada and Mexico have serious leverage here. 🇲🇽 🇨🇦 v 🇺🇸 Failing that - mass boycott will cost the US more than it earns.

Why all the Trump injunctions, Ms. Leavitt? It’s really not hard to grasp.

The 2 planes Judge Boasberg ordered back, plus a third plane that took off AFTER Boasberg’s order, never returned to the U.S. in apparent defiance of the court order.

This is blatant defiance of the court order. It was NOT too late. When the judge issued is order, two planes were in the air, and a third took off from Texas AFTER the order.
