This June is a decade since the last referendum on the EU. It's long enough. We need to vote again. With Putin and Trump trying to carve up the world, Europe has to be stronger together.

"Give us Greenland or we will increase taxes on American citizens for things that they buy" is such a masterpiece of foreign policy

Top 3 articles in the Sky sports app football feed about Man United losing. Mansfield’s win at Sheff Utd about 21st in the list. All that is wrong with football 🤦‍♂️

Happy New Year to you all! 2026 is gonna be a good one!

It's not 11-year-old boys who are committing violence against women and girls. We need to get people who have come from cultures that don't respect women out of our country! Not all cultures are equally valid. Labour's plan to lecture schoolboys to respect women and girls is a complete distraction. This is what a government looks like when they're completely out of ideas Deport all foreign criminals. Put more police on our streets. Conservatives have a funded plan to recruit 10,000 extra officers. Pretending a few extra lessons in school will fix this is complete nonsense. Labour need to stop

This is just utterly disgraceful and dangerous stuff from Badenoch.

It's appalling that the leader of a major party should be engaging in this sort of rhetoric

🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years”

Hugely important point made by @vicderbyshire.bsky.social 👏

I was in the car during #PMQs. The only leader that makes sense right now is Ed Davey.
Starmer is a nice guy who should be behind the scenes. I could see him managing my local Aldi.
Badenoch comes across as nasty, aggressive, and petulant. She takes no responsibility to the damage done to society.

Question: Do Germany, France, and the UK have to keep taking lectures from Trump to preserve relationships, and to bat for Ukraine, or is it possible to fight back? Trump's behaviour is appalling and, as he's not able to stand again, it will only get worse. Will he interfere in our elections?

Gianni Infantino accused of breaching FIFA’s ethics codes in relation to President Trump comments Advocacy group FairSquare has also requested an investigation into President Trump being awarded the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize last Friday.

NEWS:

Official complaint received by FIFA Ethics Committee, alleges “repeated breaches” of FIFA’s duty of political neutrality by Gianni Infantino, all in relation to President Trump. It also requests investigation into internal process behind Trump’s Peace Prize

This should have been our first half score last weekend. The difference is Boro are taking their chances.

The World Cup draw is unwatchable 😬 #justgetonwithit

No great surprises 😊 Mr Dinkles were my “find” of the year

Senator Mark Kelly outside of the Senate Chamber at the US Capitol

Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He’s unqualified for this job. I think he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in the history of our country by far. & this President thinks he can bully & intimidate people? He’s not gonna stop me from speaking out & holding him accountable”

Impeach the criminal president.

There is an extraordinary sense of entitlement behind the belief that there ought to be political party that aligns 100% with your own opinions.

If Trump is innocent, prove it.

If you're a politician and don't support rapists or pedophiles, prove it.

If you're a politician and aren't complicit in Epstein's crimes, prove it.

Release the Epstein files.

In the last week, Donald Trump has called for the murder of Congressional Democrats and threatened to unilaterally declare an invasion of Venezuela.

If Congressional Republicans followed the Constitution, both of these would be removable offenses. But, they’re loyal to Trump, not the constitution.

Can't wait until he's convicted of murder. 💥

Retirement ruined -
*House worth £2.5 million
*Similar in savings and investments.
I wish my retirement was ruined, just like his!

Rachel Reeves, please, let’s make budgets boring again | Heather Stewart Budgets need to be reassuringly dull with no repeat of this year’s long, drawn-out and chaotic buildup

"Rachel Reeves, please, let’s make budgets boring again".

Surely an argument we can all get behind.

Great piece by @guardianheather.bsky.social

Creating a new customs union would help hugely. We can't go into the EU's customs union, as we would need to rejoin the EU and there aren't moves right now towards a new referendum, but we could create a customs union with the EU.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.

This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

The President called for the murder of Congressional Democrats.

Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation.

Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them.

It's the very least they should be doing!

Thank you Blackburn 😊

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

So, #r4today reports on the Covid inquiry and the “too little, too late” Tory govt, then says they’ll be talking to *Lord* Gove about it. Ugh.
That just sums up so much that’s so very wrong with our politics and media.
Rewarding, rather than punishing, those responsible for failing us all.

@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu Good Evening. I hope you have a plan to help Ukraine because Trump wants to stitch them up. They need the EU and GB.

Schrödinger’s Britain..

Both bursting at the seams with brown people, yet somehow “overrepresented” in ads

Make your minds up, Reform!

We dissect this, the Caerphilly wake-up call, Starmer’s dodgy response & why we’re no longer P..P..picking up Penguins.
