"The president said we’d never need to vote again” "Then he said we shouldn’t have elections” "Now, he says he wants to take over the elections." Trump wants to keep power, keep the republicans in power by taking the democratic right of voting away! #DonaldTrump #America

£240m. With no tender. Palantir. I wrote to Wes Streeting last week demanding answers. Every day without any transparency deepens the scandal. Palantir out.

Nigel Farage pub plans criticised by Cumbria MPs t.co/oxGl5ZoCTv

🚨Buckle up!🚨 Poland is investigating potential connections between Jeffrey Epstein and Polish victims, as well as possible involvement of Russian intelligence in his activities. The Polish government has set up a special task force.

When Emily Maitlis interviewed Andrew Mountbatten Windsor in 2019, she had a photo of him and Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre on her lap. The reason? The palace had asked her to prove the image was fake before she sat down in Buckingham Palace www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/the-...

8.6 million people spend 43% of their budget on rent. Presumably these are the people Matt Goodwin would tax more if they then have the temerity to not be able to afford children. Reform pretends is stands up for the working class, against the elite. Probably the biggest lie in our politics.

Multimillionaire Brexiter, Tim Martin, urges pubs to back Reform. Just like he urged the country to vote for Brexit. Too bad if it makes you poorer. Too bad for the children he’ll push back into poverty. Tim wants more money. And he couldn’t give a shit about the cost for everybody else. (iPaper)

MPs are about to debate Russian interference in Britain’s democracy. We’ll be live on this thread with what matters 🧵

Things we haven't forgotten: 🤔 Farage never clarified how he got his Clacton house. He said he bought it, then he suddenly said it was his GF, but noone explained where they got the £885,000 from? 🤔 Farage appointed Nathan Gill, his friend and ally, who turned out was a Russian asset.

In a world drowning in grief and conflict, we crave what keeps us alive: joy—our daily bread; hope—our living water; kindness—the roof over our souls.

This is my view too. I understand that the UK is effectively ungovernable at the moment (because everyone has gone mad) but we need to ween ourselves off political chaos.

🇬🇧😸🇬🇧😸🇬🇧😸🇬🇧😸🇬🇧 Sent complaint to NHS England re the illegal use of their logo by Reform UK in their Gorton & Denton by-election material! Just got a reply. Quite pleased.

The Green Party are favourites to win in Gorton and Denton. Hannah Spencer - a local plumber - who cares about her community. We have a plan to lower bills, defend our NHS and rebuild our public services. m.youtube.com/watch?v=F1f-...

Elon Musk is a white supremacist. Case closed.

President Trump, your Melania movie has bombed

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy. www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

The daft thing is that with Proportional Representation there'd be no need for this self-destructive war within Labour. It could split into its component parts - left and right - and people could vote for what they wanted. It's only First-Past-the-Post that forces these irreconcilables together.

The median ticket price for Sunday’s Super Bowl is $7,497. I don’t even want to know what a beer costs. But even if you want to go to a regular-season sporting event, tickets and concession prices will cost you a small fortune. Here’s one thing we can do about it.

BASH: Is this measles outbreak a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines? DR OZ: I don't believe so. Secretary Kennedy has been advocating for measles vaccines BASH: Oh, come on

That horrible feeling when you get caught trying to pull a fast one.

Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow. How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?

THIRD time they have done this! And will @electoralcommission.org.uk be asking for the receipts? There are limits to spending!

Reform UK will face a police investigation in Gorton and Denton after admitting it sent out letters from a “concerned neighbour” which did not state they had been funded and distributed by the party www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Reform UK are seeking to fob off blame for their illegal leaflet on a printer error. That won’t stand up with the police - responsibility for making sure the law is followed lies with the party commissioning and distributing the leaflets.

When I was about 7 my mum very randomly gave me a box brownie camera and somehow we got the film for it.. which I think was hugely complicated I'm itself because nobody was using these cameras anymore. The first photograph I ever took was of this iconic bridge and here I am again marvelling at it.

Equating the burning of coal and oil with "modernity" is a bit of a stretch.

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich. Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else. Trickle-up economics.

😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠 Funny how the media is baying for the blood of one man, but nods through this b’stard!

It only took them 12 months to build massive concentration camps all over the USA. You’d think there would be more uproar, but no. No one cares unless it’s in their backyard.

If Starmer resigns, the lesson for future politicians is that if you admit mistakes and apologise, you'll lose your job. However, if you simply deny everything and laugh it off – like that wankstain Alexander de Pfeffel Johnson did, constantly – nothing happens.

“It could take years to restore Brexit losses” Especially if Farage comes along and tears up the ‘reset’ as he threatens. Honest to god.. it’s such a tedious, idiotic, resource-sapping mess. There’s really nothing patriotic about it. Prejudice costs such a lot. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

New in PN: @anneapplebaum.bsky.social on Trump's betrayal of Europe "They’re bewildered we’ve allowed this to happen. And yes, you do hear Europeans saying, 'why aren’t people protesting?' This all comes as a real shock to people who had a different expectation of what America was."

Have a read of this. Great scoop, obviously, but it’s also an absolute masterclass in how to report on these jokers. Plenty of London-based hacks could learn a lot from Martin Shipton here. If they actually wanted to… nation.cymru/news/the-new...

also, when you undermine the rule of law, it's much easier to steal

THIS 👇 IS TRUE.......

The problem with so many of our top politicians - from Johnson, Mandelson, Farage - is that they all want to join the oligarch class. Whatever you think of Gordon Brown he is financially unbiddable www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Both stories about Reform UK Party Ltd’s Gorton & Denton campaign are true — they, laughably, reported Labour to the police over a ‘misleading’ video, and now they face a police investigation over breaking by-election law with deliberately misleading campaign material.

Reform UK have blamed the printers saying there was a “trimming error”. These clearly show an A4 letter with no trimming. And who trims an A4 letter? Calling bullshit on them.

Exclusive: Reform UK just broke electoral law in Gorton and Denton manchestermill.co.uk/exclusive-re...

🎩 Donald Trump, is losing his Supporters over the Epstein files Many of them are turning on him So he had to crank up the racism last night To pull them back in and derail any critical thinking Will they allow themselves to be blinded by hate From the reality that Trump is a pedophile!

Where are all the idiots who have defended Trump against claims that he's a racist? He's a virulent racist...and if you support him, you are, too. I said what I said.

Really enjoyed this interview and it's refreshing that the journalist says she doesn't agree with all of my politics but still engages with the ideas. You don't have to agree with me on everything. Just the basics: it's time to make hope normal again. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Here's Hannah Spencer on the need for MPs with different backgrounds. I've thought the same for years. The problem is our MPs mostly come from the same mindset, with similar backgrounds and qualifications. We need fewer lawyers and more scientists, artists, academics and everyone she mentions here.

Sinister stuff. Reform really are a danger to democracy.

Can the UK Media please also investigate Farage's links with Epstein, since he's likely to be our next Prime Minister, thank you.
