This man is not playing dirty - he is playing filthy dirty. Should politicians behave like this? This is Trump-like behaviour. Ugh. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

One Reform council candidate has tweeted: 'Not all Muslims are terrerists, but all terrerists are Muslim'. Another shared a post saying 'I’m a proud Islamaphone'. Their spelling, not mine.

I remember the outrage in the mid-1990s when it emerged that some Tory MPs were getting a few hundred quid a pop for asking questions on behalf of a dodgy foreign businessman. Innocent times indeed.

Ever feel you need more good news? Me too. Here's some brilliant things happening in Britain that you won't have seen in the headlines 👇

This person is such a grifter. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This man is a colossus. Thank you President Zelensky

Agreed. Unfortunately, in the U.K. we don’t have a written constitution. The last one was Magna Carta drawn up in 1215, so over 800 years ago.

Here’s the thing. If both racial and partisan gerrymandering is perfectly legal, then you won’t live in a democracy. You live in a country where politicians pick their voters not the other way around. It’s pretty much that simple.

So they are wealthy because banks are dumb enough to lend them money? Is that how it works?

Thank you Mr Pope. Perhaps now a man is saying this, we will be heard. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

This man, who claims that immigrants don’t integrate or respect our way of life, refuses to integrate and respect the way of parliament. Undeclared donations, not turning up for PMQs or holding conscience surgeries. A disgrace of a “politician”. No surprise though, he did all this as an MEP too.

I asked Secretary Hegseth a straightforward, yes or no question today: Is Donald Trump mentally stable enough to be Commander in Chief? He didn't say yes. And that speaks volumes.

Quite something. Even the UK is now heavily involved in (or in this case, leading) European hedging arrangements

YOU GO, KINGSTER.......

In France, the 1st May really is a holiday for all workers - and whatever day of the week it falls on, that is the day we have off.

This is the result of racial and religious hatred stirred up by the likes of Farage and hos Reform cronies. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

It would seem money can buy you anything - even free passage through Strait of Hormuz. And what does this Russian oligarch want to do, hmmm? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/28/w...

Fascinating article in the NY Times: "Rebecca Solnit Says the Left’s Next Hero Is Already Here" Her conclusion is: 'I think the counter to Trump always has been and always will be civil society.' And maybe Mamdani or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Wouldn't that be great. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/m...

At least one paper has picked up on this callous oil company profiteering from the #IranWar The Tory rags are still screaming with outrage about the Mandelson nonsense and Starmer, though. The rich buy the news they want, as ever. #r4today #bbcnews #ukpolitics #wato #WindfallTax #costofliving

Well yes, it was a silly thing for such a high-standing figure to do, but balanced against all the truly awful things Trump has done? A drop in the ocean. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Yes please! But why wait for the next General Election?

Chapeau à Namur!

The loyal, lonely keepers of Sudan's pyramids. Mostafa Ahmed Mostafa is the heir to a long line of groundskeepers who have guarded Sudan's ancient pyramids of Meroe. Now, three years into the war between the army and paramilitary forces, he stands near-solitary sentinel over his heritage

WW2 poster depicting Nazis burning books - but the bottom line - in 2026 - is terribly ironic.

I think it #BeBest if Melania didn't mindlessly parrot the hyperbolic nonsense about Jimmy Kimmel that her husband's lying administration is rotely churning out today. She should do something that *helps* the people in the United States—if only for the novelty.

‼️‼️‼️ Renee Good did NOT deserve to have her brains blown out in front of her dog for not complying with armed vigilantes who were terrorizing HER community. Look at her and her son! YOU DO NOT MURDER! ARREST ICE AGENT ROSS NOW ‼️‼️‼️

We are living in a Big Brother world. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/u...

'Emergency handbrake' on sickness benefits. Ramped up spending on war.

Brilliant.

Boris Johnson and Michael Gove admitted taking cocaine and a Tory MP in the last parliament had to go to rehab to treat his addiction. But no rightwing commentators mention this when discussing the Greens' drug policy.

A wonderful, feel-good story to cheer us up amongst all this doom & gloom- and what stunning eyes the dog has! www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

No comment needed

Well, well. The latest Daily Mail poll on rejoining the EU. Who’d have thought it? www.dailymail.com/news/article...

Apart from not being a viable engineering project, its illegality under international law and buggering up the world's busiest shipping lane, what is stopping Britain building a mined floating wall across the Channel?

I respect other people's rights to hold such religious beliefs as the wish. But the idea that a Syrian soldier in the Roman army who died 1800 years ago now lives in Heaven and intercedes with God on England's behalf strikes me as potentially somewhat farfetched.

Wow. Well, this is an interesting and promising move. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This photo says so much about Yaxley-Lennon aka Tommy Robinson Look at how he is invading Balentina Gomez’s personal space. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

What amazing birds! Thank you for sharing this awesome video.

1/20

What Jon Ossoff says can be proven (Financial Times amongst others) and it is beyond awful. Jared Kushner (married to Ivanka Trump) and Donald & Eric Trump are making billions out of the Iraqi war - started by Donald Trump. And thousands of people have already died. 🤬

Thank goodness for the Irish! www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5GL...

Thank you to this man for doing what we should all be doing. I don’t know if my family were involved in the transatlantic slave trade but I am going to look into it. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Not that surprising that this has happened for a number of reasons but very worrying nonetheless, given the present volatile situation. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

And the number of St George flags illicitly flapping from lampposts around the country would suggest yes. Nigel Feckin Farage has a lot to answer for.

No polite words to describe these despicable ’men’.

Well here's what the maga republicans did to healthcare with the big fugly bill. Then they "prayed" Agreed, President Sheinbaum did the right thing.

We should be learning from other countries...
