Robin Ince: “Voicing support for the trans community, criticism of Donald Trump [and] numerous other outlandish opinions, including once gently criticising Stephen Fry … were considered to conflict with being a freelance BBC science presenter.” www.theguardian.com/media/2025/d...

Number crunching: Individuals arrested within five days for suspected manslaughter after fire apparently related to building materials ripped through seven Hong Kong apartment blocks v individuals arrested over Grenfell From the new Private Eye, out now.

This is NOT FUNNY AT ALL (giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...).

Spot on, Mr. Rather. 🎯 💯

Keir Starmer - "I’ve always wanted a Labour government but I’ve never worried about the future of our country under a Tory government." The words of a man so insulated from the harm done by the Tories he felt no compulsion not to continue the harm not being done to him and his.

Whoa … this is really strange. Federal law enforcement managed to confiscate almost two tons of cocaine, and arrest 3 suspects, without blowing the boat out of the water or killing anyone. 🎁 link ⤵️ www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

Since we aren't in a war, Pete Hegseth isn't technically a war criminal. He's just a garden-variety mass murderer.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

To combat climate change, we should shut down oil drilling, increase fuel duty and minimise taxes on electric car usage. The opposite of the British Labour party’s actions and plans. Just #VoteGreen and let’s stop the eco-vandalism!

I think it is 'excellent' that #r4today devotes its precious time to the 40th anniversary of Blind Date rather than in-depth coverage of Reform's links to Russian money or the Hong Kong fire toll.

Labour have decided that electric car owners are to pay 3p per mile in tax. “How are you going to measure and collect this?” “Umm, we don’t know but we have three years to work it out”.

The difference between Scotland and England at the World Cup- Scotland are just happy to be there for the party. England know that they will win it - until they lose to Germany or Argentina. On penalties. And Scotland will just party on. No Scotland, no party!

Primary schools should start teaching children modern languages when they are 5. Most children should be moderately fluent in at least two modern European languages by the time they start secondary school.

I refuse to lose our Republic to a guy with swollen ankles and a tribble on his head.

We could spend years demanding a list be released, or we could just believe women…

NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”

The corruption never ends

If you want to sustain your carefully-cultivated fury at the stupid Panorama edit then don’t, whatever you do, read or listen to Trump’s speech in its entirety…

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present Karma?

Sometime today, Mike Johnson will say, "I've been very busy not watching pornography this morning and I am only just hearing about the voting yesterday so I am unable to comment on all of that right now."

Brexit happened because of immigration and economics scare stories. After Brexit, immigration has soared and the economy shrunk. That worked out well.

So tired of the trade with England. They take all our water and energy and leave us their nukes and nonces!

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

He raped underaged girls. He raped grown women. He virtually shat on America. He’s currently assaulting The People’s House. Release the Epstein Files.

I think it is 'excellent' that #r4today continues to ignore the long-term effects of austerity on the most vulnerable in society-That it has normalised the need for 3,000 food banks but instead chooses to promote a book by Keira Knightley. True journalistic courage by those on the show.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Scotland is colder than the south of England. But Scottish pensioners pay more to heat their homes. And now Starmer has sentenced many of them to a freezing death. Labour’s Change is to change warm breathing old people into cold dead ones.

Have you ever stopped to question as to why Palestine . Action was so quickly 'Proscribed' as a terrorist organisation without actually carrying out one single terrorist action? @uklabourparty.bsky.social

You know the assignment 👍

I’m disappointed. I stopped exactly the same number of wars and I didn’t get the Peace Prize either!

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet. MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

now do jan 6th

🔴NEW🔴 Thread 🧵 @bylinetimes.bsky.social can now reveal that, during the crucial period when convicted Reform leader Nathan Gill was most active, working directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most senior ally in Ukraine, he was also one of Nigel Farage’s closest confidantes 1/12

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

TRUMP IS TO BLAME FOR J6!!! 🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

A taxi driver told me that he’s seen Reform members bum swans

Politics does become important to #r4today presenters when inheritance tax changes are proposed or VAT on private school fees is charged but when decisions are made that take the number of food banks needed to feed the working poor from 35 to about 3,000 they are memory-holed and normalised.

I’ve heard it say that Nigel Farage has no less than seventeen nipples spread over his chest and back. I’m, of course, not saying it’s true, but we have no evidence saying otherwise. It could be true, we just don’t know. That’s how this works, right?

This COVID outbreak is no joke, gang. Lots of folks turning up positive. Time to * Get that new Vax if you can * Stock up on masks * Stock up on COVID tests - they are selling out * Make a battle plan to take care of yourself if you need to quarantine * Avoid larger events if you are vulnerable
