🎵 “Join Ice” - @wellesmusic on Colbert

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

Findings partic brutal about early 2020, describing the Feb as “lost month”. If lockdown was imposed a week earlier than March 16, it could've cut deaths in England by almost half. Many of same mistakes then "inexcusably" repeated - @peterwalker99.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

BREAKING: The UK’s response to Covid was “too little, too late”, a damning official report on the handling of the pandemic has concluded, saying the introduction of a lockdown even a week earlier than happened could have saved more than 20,000 lives.

Jon has been a free man his whole life, and NEVER has he had "unlimited toilet paper" privileges

John Major, "Our links to Europe and America may be loser now than once they were and that is a loss" "The loss of trade with Europe alone costs us £100 billion of lost trade every year" "That's a tax yield of £40 billion" "How useful would that have been in recent months to the Chancellor?"

This has got a good beat to it.

Terrific

The real BBC bias story, narrated by Anna Ford

Whoa, this is wild. Either Thune played Johnson or Johnson tried to play us and failed. Either way, Johnson looks like a fool and Trump has lost his grip on Congress. @lawrenceodonnelljr.bsky.social just blew it open 🔥

This is how everyone should treat this masked thugs!! ‘This is cowboy country and we don’t get down with that bullshit!…You got two options you can get the fuck off my property or we can get down.’ Bravo, sir‼️💥🔥💥

He’s have an inconvenient journalist chopped up with a bone saw in a nanosecond if he could. Just like the gurning psychopath sitting next to him did.

Share if you agree!

“How many refugees have been granted asylum in the UK?” Most people overestimate the number - by a lot. With far-right figures spreading misinformation, it’s hard for the public to know the truth. Watch the video to see just how wide the gap is between perception and reality.

Alastair Campbell, "Of the mistakes I have made, the biggest is Brexit..It has made us al weaker and poorer..A campaign won by liars and conmen" From a hypothetical scenario of what AC would do if he was PM

The 'patriots' are gonna be furious!

When we look back at this period, historians won’t be stunned by the greed of the elite, they’ll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor. Some members of the working class didn’t just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them 1/2

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

What exactly is the Chancellor going to do?

"There HAS to be an argument out of this" just killed me! 😆

If the UK is on the brink of civil war, as Musk claims, it follows that in 300 years time there will be be a new generation of civil war re-enactment societies. "Geoff,you defend Laurence Fox. Can you guys shout outside a hostel. Brian, i need you to relentlessly slag off Nish Kumar on Facebook."

"But we must compete with the oth-" That's just it. You don't. You are THE public broadcaster. No other body shares your mission. Why add to the noise? The BBC has an opportunity to say "you've heard all the breathless gossip - tune in at 6pm for the facts". To bring light rather than heat.

The line of people willing to support a foreign leader in trying to bring down our national public service broadcaster continues to grow. And the double standards 👇 become more and more obvious to everyone but the furiously hard of thinking. Don't these 'patriots' just make you feel so proud!

I'm a little 'confused'. What do you call people who not only support but actually THANK a foreign actor who is trying to bring down their own countries public service broadcaster? I might write to the Telegraph, see if they've got any ideas.

And today it's the turn of The Times to try and patronise us all. Every single day the right wing establishment tries to close ranks. And every day we are growing. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Is there any way we can think about putting all the morons together, in one place. They could sort have their own county. We could call it Angryshire, or Bigotsville, or maybe Moron on the Farce, so they feel a bit posher. Just leave them all there to be angry all day while we get on with our lives.

Nigel Farage, whose own adviser was convicted of fraud after admitting to advertising money laundering services on the dark web, is now complaining about banks having to implement "money laundering directives"

Nigel Farage, whose party recently put a teenager with zero work experience of any kind, in charge of running an entire county, is currently giving a speech railing against "unqualified" politicians being put in charge of Government departments

Just been listening to Matt Frei on @LBC, talking about 'Andrew'. His guest, Andrew Lownie, who has written the book 'Entitled', had some absolutely extraordinary things to say about old Andy's time as a trade envoy, and all the dodgy dealings. This pay-off MUST not be the end of it!

U.S. 📻 played us the wrong Chumbawamba song! 🎶 The world is riddled with maggots; the maggots are getting fat They're making a tasty meal of the bosses & bureaucrats They're taking over the boardrooms; they're fat & full of pride & they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died 🎶

Boom!

Stephen Miller’s wife Katie loses her shit and comes complete unglued because she claims that when Cenk said “the Millers lie” that was an anti-Semitic comment. Totally unhinged wacko.

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

If Chris Philp has, in fact, got a soul, you can watch it slowly leave his body during this encounter. Btw, Lewis Goodall is one of the best out there right now.

Off the top of my head, there have been four egregious examples of weapons grade public racism in the last couple of weeks - Jenrick; the Express hack; Captain Concrete & the Reform woman. The way they are treated by employers, punters & wider media, will directly influence how much more we see.

Reform UK Councils Council Tax increases Durham: 4.9% Worcestershire: 5-10% Warwickshire: ~5% Leicestershire: 3% Kent: 5% Lincolnshire: 2%+ Staffordshire: ~5% West Northamptonshire: 5% Derbyshire: 4.9% North Northamptonshire: amount TBD Nottinghamshire: amount TBD Lancashire: amount TBD

Remember - this started with an unfounded allegation that Labour had intervened to water down the Deputy NSA's statement to the CPS. Now that it turns out not only that wasn't true, but if anyone interfered, it was under previous Tory gov't, Swinford & Pogrund skirt over to some other gossip.

Wow!! I really wish I'd written this.

'Cutting down on unnecessary waste'

Breaking - Five grooming gang survivors tell PM they will stay on panel only if Jess Phillips REMAINS in post. They say Phillips has “devoted her life to hearing and amplifying the voices of women and girls who would have otherwise been unheard”. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Thank you to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for having me on, one of the v few people in the UK press to follow this story during what is now a decade of media apathy &/or complicity

Just seen a furious Jim Gamble on Sky News, after he withdraws from the grooming gangs inquiry. He is clearly calling out the disgusting political points scoring of people like Badenoch, Philp et al. After #PMQs today, it's obvious and undeniable. #SkyNews

Tuned into Shelagh Fogarty by accident (I was on catch-up and it popped on, I don't normally listen any more). Absolutely hilarious listening to her try to defend Maccabi fans - 'Oh give em a break, ALL football hooligans are like that'. She is as predictable as the sun coming up!

Not a bad effort in pressing Priti Patel on Jenrick's words, @lewisgoodall.com, but I'm a bit surprised you allowed her to keep saying 'people that come to our country...' I'd take a punt that the vast majority of those black and brown faces he saw, in the 90 minutes that he was there, ARE British.

“The room where we decide the Nobel Peace Prize is filled with courage and integrity.” Integrity over ego. Every time. 🕊️

Who benefits from the abolition of stamp duty land tax? The first answer: people buying very expensive homes. Average saving for someone buying a £10m+ home is £1.7m. Average saving for someone buying a £250k-£500k home is £5k.

Kemi Badenoch, like Bobby Ewing in the shower, convinces everyone in the room to believe that it was all just a bad dream. Aaaaaaahhhhh.

How quickly a modern democracy can be brought to a dark and dangerous place. Rise up Americans. Pretty soon, it'll be too late.
