Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏

They called her a mad cat woman and tried to destroy her reputation. Then they dragged her through the courts and tried to destroy her life. But @carolecadwalla.bsky.social is standing tall and continues telling the inconvenient truth. A must see.

Also - can I just say - I work and have worked in this space. Around ASB, Policing, etc. I know what I'm talking about. I've met and spoken with these people. You evidently have not. A tag and community order will not stop them going back to the shop the next day after release from custody.

That's factually incorrect. It's a misconception. The £200 "limit" was introduced in the ASB, Crime and Policing Act (2014). It's not a new thing. If it's under £200 the max sentence is 6 months - which this new arrangement would do away with - legalising shoplifting.

Do you understand that tagging people and giving them community orders does not deter the most prolific offenders? You do understand that sentencing people without restrictions on liberty gives them the freedom to re-offend should they choose?

This is why Greggs are moving their food behind the counter. You'll rarely get over 12 months for shoplifting, so the Government is essentially legalising shoplifting.

If only Christian charity were as easy as accessorizing.

Shudder.

So I could vote for the real thing, or I could vote for you who are trying to emulate the real thing? I think I’ll vote for the real thing please. Honestly Starmer needs to ditch these idiot “advisors”. Another sound strategy by Morgan McSweeney…

You have your view I have mine. You carry on blaming Lewis Goodall for Reform. The National Press are not regulated, and the 2nd part of Levenson is not going ahead because of Labour & Starmer's decision. So if you want better Press look at who you voted for in July.

Ok you have your view and I have mine. Talk into the echo chamber and when Farage becomes PM in 4 years time we can both commiserate together. News Agents being excoriating of Reform/Farage over the last year would not have made a single dent in todays results.

Have you actually read his replies to his posts? The majority are abusive including swearing and one post I've had to report. No it isn't ridiculous - you're saying if he did more podcasts challenging Farage less people would vote Reform - that isn't the case! You're missing the point.

I vote Left. You're falling into the same trap of every Leftie and it's why Trump won, and why Farage will win. You're trying to shame people into changing course and it does not work. I'm not excusing anybody. Lewis was flippant but piling in won't work. Reform voters don't listen to News Agents.

It isn't; but what is abusing Lewis Goodall on social media going to achieve? Suddenly he and every journalist in the UK will now start challenging Farage in every interview? The people who voted Reform are not listening to News Agents/LBC or reading newspapers.

Post reported to BlueSky moderation. Let's see if the platform is better than X or not. Just unnecessary abuse isn't it really. If you think News Agents & LBC questioning Farage robustly would have changed the results you might as well be living on Mars mate.

Yes it is. Telling somebody they're lying, exaggerating, oversimplifying, and inventing strawmen is abusive for what I've seen on this platform so far. It's also unlikely to achieve a goal of persuading Lewis to challenge Farage more. We get the media we deserve in the UK - these replies prove it.

Woah woah; don't usually see abuse like this on BlueSky. The media aren't to blame for Reform doing well in these elections. Neither is @lewisgoodall.com. Turnout was extremely low. My area voted fully Reform - 20-25% turnout. No viable alternative. Tory/Labour much the same at present.

Phasing out fossil fuels ‘doomed to fail’, says Tony Blair as he calls for rethink of net zero policy – UK politics live ‘Any strategy based on either phasing out fossil fuels in the short term or limiting consumption is a strategy doomed to fail,’ says former PM

Tony Blair is literally being paid by a man with one of the highest carbon footprints on the planet - Larry Ellison. The founder of Oracle is his biggest funder & these techsolutionist remarks have to be seen for what they are: tech lobbying

This isn’t America First—it’s America alone.

People don’t realize the path Trump has us on.

While he waits by the phone for Xi Jinping to “negotiate,” Xi’s out making moves—touring Asia and cutting deals with European leaders to make China less dependent on the U.S.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Here you go

It would be hilarious if these tattoos were unwittingly sucked into the database of gang markers. 😂

I think you missed the most egregious of his tattoos. "Kafir" an Arabic term for Unbeliever or Infidel directly under his "Deus Vult" tattoo. It's clearly Islamophobic. This is why the US lost in Afghanistan if you've idiots like this running around. No hearts and minds being won here.

Trump won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News ‘there are methods’ for doing so President Donald Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call that he was “not joking” about a third term, adding that “it is far too early to think about it.”

President Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”

Disrespectful to Greenlanders not to wear a suit.

Wait hang on what’s Russell Brand doing on that list? Absolutely bizarre. The same guy whose British comedy career ended 10+ years ago and used to make an idiot of himself with Jonathan Ross. Honestly they’ve gone off the deep end and into the rabbit hole here …

Also making national security and defence decisions on a Signal chat group open to a private Atlantic journalist. I'd say they're putting US troops at open risk of harm in a very unprofessional and incompetent manner.
