“Special Relation” my arse. @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @telegraph.co.uk @dailymail.co.uk @labouruk.bsky.social

Almost nobody in the media reported on the former Tory Government's sweeping power grab of the electoral commission. This week Labour have announced that they will reverse what Boris Johnson did and return the commission to independence. Ofcourse Labour will get absolutely no credit for doing this

From FT comments

Just watching the BBC's #PoliticsLive, & I cant help thinking the Beeb has some of the worse politics presenters ever. How the F can Chris Mason, Laura Kuenssberg, & Adam Fleming, still have their licence fee payers supported jobs? And yes, Isabel Oakeshott is a UK tax payer dodger.

OK Apart from Imposing tariffs on us Meddling in our politics Sueing the BBC Slagging off our troops in Afghanistan Being an alleged paedophile & starting WW3 Pres. Trump is a great ally & Keir Starmer SHOULD start acting like a snivelling shit & support him. SORT IT OUT STARMER!

Bring back shame.

Crow: "Friday night, Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about the cost of war & how hard it's gonna be & how we're gonna lose troops, then he literally went behind the curtain & hosted a million dollar a plate dinner & dance party at Mar-a-Lago. That tells you everything you need to know"

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America. And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it. Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

Can someone please inundate the #WH, senate, congress & #Trump accounts w this video? Your country needs to open its eyes.

The American bombardment of Iran has been launched without explanation, without Congress, without public support. Above all it has been launched without a coherent strategy for the Iranian people, and without a plan to let them build a legitimate Iranian state. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Socialist Campaign Group need to be booted out of Labour. They’re poison to our Party and are the media darlings called upon to bad mouth Keir Starmer and the Party. Enough is enough. Call them

Brilliant news! Congrats Hannah! Congrats @greenparty.org.uk! Congrats @zackpolanski.bsky.social!!!!

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

Things you don’t see in the english ‘free’ press/media.

Two options for voters in Gorton & Denton. Greens or Reform?

When one thinks the cruelty of Trump's America cannot surprise any more, this drops. Disgusting.

In a few hours in Gorton and Denton - you have the opportunity to transform our politics. A vote for Hannah Spencer & the Green Party will entirely change our national conversation. And Hannah will be brilliant for Manchester. Check her out 👇🏼 youtu.be/uCy0VdHTVvs?...

What’s really striking in Saruman’s speech to Gandalf is how broadly (and unusually for Tolkien) relevant it is. Take out the one specific reference to the Elves and Númenor and it is just an absolute classic rationale for collaborating with evil in the confidence you can ultimately direct it.

Nigel Farage refuses to apologise and condemn Reform councillor Simon Evans for sharing a death threat against Labour MP Natalie Fleet 😱 Keir Starmer explained what happened and invited Nigel Farage to apologise Instead, Nigel Farage stood up and spoke about something else

President Trump offered few new policy revelations in his marathon State of the Union address. Instead, he offered a rosy picture of the U.S. economy, supported by dubious claims, attacked Democrats and mocked their focus on affordability.

A vote for Labour in Gorton and Denton Is a vote for Reform Do better, Vote Green bylinetimes.com/2026/02/24/e...

Tonight’s state of the union.

So, Daniel Rayne "Danny" Kruger and #Reform want to impose his very particular evangelical christian morality on the UK and send us back to the 50's? No, thank you.

Genius. And very accurate....

Reform want to bring Trump’s thugs onto our own streets. They must be stopped. Only a vote for the Greens in Gorton and Denton on Thursday can stop them. Hope will defeat hate. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"Funny how Nigel Farage made very little mention of this brand new appointment last week. James Orr is the new "Head of Policy" for Reform UK, responsible for planning how Reform will take over the government of the country. What could possibly go wrong?"

That means Keir Starmer too, @labouruk.bsky.social….

Wow. Farage not taking this seriously is a massive blunder… Wonder if this is the start of their collapse

Dear Lucy Powell, A response to your letter:

Currently, reports say the U.S. could strike Iran as early as this weekend under Trump, who campaigned as the president of ‘no war’ in 2024. It’s still unclear whether Trump has made a final decision. (1/2)

I wonder if Trump left any money on the 'Tariff's Shelf' he was so fond of, because he is going to need it!

I'm so tired of the lies , it's never ending.

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

Nearly 100k people have joined our call to get dangerous US spy tech firm out of our NHS. Palantir's founder has called for the NHS to be ripped up. Now his company has access to millions of patient records. Tell the government to end the contract! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

From 2019, after the Emily Maitlis interview (I share a page with something called ‘Kids Quiz' in the guardian, which is why we used the phrase ’sex trafficker’ here, and not ‘paedophile’. You can't really throw that word around on the Kids Quiz page)

Ah Matt turn off comments. Why? Maybe to stop people pointing out that: a) All Reform MPs voted against the Workers’ Rights Bill b) He took a hefty salary from a Hungarian far-right organisation c) He doesn’t even live in the area—and likely won’t be seen after the election d) All of the above?🤔

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Bedford CC dealing with the bigots like an absolute boss.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
