Farage’s plot to abolish the OBR shows Reform is not a serious party Voters remember only too well what happened when Liz Truss sidelined the financial watchdog Don’t just like it, share it. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Now that the Venezuelan Supreme Court has put the Vice President into the Presidency, it poses Turniphead a problem for installing his own henchmen to run the country.

So Maduro goes trial, is convicted, goes to jail, then buys a pardon from Turniphead. Sound about right?

Can we not persuade Canada to do the same with Turniphead?😎

Two days out from surgery. Lots of pain in the muscles around the site, but I expect that to settle down in a few days. Legs working better now than in the last two years. What a brave little soldier.😎

Identify the structures and make our DO NOTHING DEMS in the HOUSE and SENATE go out and stop puppy killer!!!

Spinal surgery yesterday afternoon, and 12 hours later I'm outside, strolling gently around, smoking a fag (yes, I KNOW). Big shout out to the fantastic team at NHN&N (they know who they are) for their knowledge, skill and kindness, and for their forbearance towards an old nursing professional. 🫶

This is 👇👇👇 Part of the Millions of files recently released.

So Niggle Farridge is being paid to promote gold as a way of securing your pension pot: I guess there's no better way of demonstrating his trumpification.

Anyone wondering about the limits of Presidential power regarding the media should go listen to Daniel Ellsberg in 1971 when discussing the release of the Pentagon Papers and the subsequent SCOTUS decision.

Trump has removed President Biden’s portrait at the White House and replaced it with a portrait of an autopen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Au5... Trump is a petty, jealous, childish, and hateful person. I’m sharing a portrait of President Biden as a sign of respect and support.

Trump is the P T Barnum of modern US politics.

So Trump wants to sue the BBC editing footage to make him look bad, but I notice he's not said anything about Channel 4's Trump lie-a-thon aired earlier this year...

You can't negotiate with people who inhabit a different reality.

Reading a book I bought, and just found myself trying to scroll the page up...

US states must stop the power shutoffs during the shutdown | Edward J Markey and Mark Wolfe www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... So, it's not just food or healthcare that people have to juggle - it's winter heating bills as well.

THE PEOPLE SPEAK!

Quick question: how many red states are going to accept the results of the mid-terms?

It's arguable that George lll was less of a tyrant than Trump (the tax on tea was ended before the revolution, the news was just slow getting there), and the suppression of the citizenry was less then than now. How long before there is another revolution/civil war to correct this authoritarianism?

I find it interesting that, according to Bannon, Trump is an agent of divine intercession, but at the same time is completely in the dark as to what his administration is actually doing.😎

Maybe Lam should just join Reform and make her moral philosophy clear...😎 Conservatives complain to whips about fellow MP’s comments on legally settled people www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It is NOT or will not be a clean continuing resolution? Hard to argue with my few remaining Conservative but NOT MAGA friends if I don’t have real text but only rumors

Wait...all these people are going home after their protests without setting their cities on fire? WHAT KIND OF TERRORISTS ARE THEY? 😎

So, just for clarity, how many of you guys got your $50,000 checks from Mr Soros...?

Maybe the people could remember that the US was born from REVOLUTION, and that it's guiding principles we're developed by some of the finest minds of the 18th century. Hmmm? 😎

The Republican Party is institutionally antisemitic. Its support of Israel is performance politics only; as soon as we drill down into what Republicans really think, their hypocrisy and hatred becomes apparent.

The Revolutionary War was fought, in part,8 to prevent the types of massacres that were the hallmark of the East India Company in India and which also controlled the tea supply to North America. Trump, capitalism's poster boy, has decided to complete EIA work.

By saying he's getting rid of the Rules of Engagement, Hegseth will force each soldier to work out for themselves whether and when to use their weapon. This will lead to chaos in the ranks and expose each soldier to charges of murder or wounding, without the cover of service-mandated standards.

The War of Independence was largely fought by citizen soldiers fighting for a cause and principles rather than in obedience to a despotic leader. Hegseth does not understand that citizen soldiers are not, and cannot be, the mindless robotic 'warriors' of the autocratic state. (See Italy 1939)

Well deserved!! Congrats! @stephencolbert134.bsky.social

Farage...Farage...Farage...sounds a bit French, non?

Wait...it's Wednesday...don't tell me that all those Christian Evangelicals are STILL HERE...?

Re: Jimmy Kimmel. Corporate expansion and profit will always trump (!) constitutional rights. Hence, a guy (or two) is fired to protect a coporate takeover.

Modern-day Republicans are great at stoking anger to get power, but once in, are truly crap at governing.

Watching Trump deliver his Windsor speech, it occurs to me that he really doesn't understand any of what he's reading. 😎

IT'S official! Trump's feelings are now more important than the Constitution. And Corporate America agrees.

No longer Land of the Free nor Home of the Brave. Corporate America's spineless capitulation to Trump reveals how vacuous their statements about 'standards' and 'community' are and the true nature of their allegiance to the authoritarian project now underway in the US.

Film icon Robert Redford has passed away. Will Trump lower the flags?

I've just realised that it's Battle of Britain day. I'm in awe of the courage, dedication and skill of those airmen who defended Britain in 1940, and that of those who do so today. 😎

Charlie Kirk would still be alive now if he hadn't called for the release of the Epstein files. Makes ya think...

Those who moat vociferously denigrate particular behaviours are usually also participating in that behaviour (secretly).

In order to counter the free access to vaccines in some states, Texas will soon be offering a free AR 15 to any resident white family that refuses childhood vaccines. 😎

Just wondering which of Charlie Kirk's opinions made him such a good friend for our Nige. And also wondering which statements from those on the 'left' led to his murder? Kirk's public political persona and statements were themselves incendiary, and he celebrated the deaths of political opponents.

I promise, sincerely and honestly, not to celebrate, in any way whatsoever, the murder of Charlie Kirk...on Bluesky.

Per SCOTUS, Trump will place armed Federal agents at polling stations to prevent non-white voters accessing the mid-terms.
