Branding and logo for Great British Railways unveiled The new red, white and blue branding mirrors the colours of the Union Flag, and will start to appear from next year.

I realise it's fares, reliability and service that matter. And the government is absolutely right to be starting the renationalisation process 👍

But that livery... Ugh. What a mess! (IMO)

European leaders walk tightrope between backing Ukraine and keeping US on board Europe's leaders are trying to avoid alienating Donald Trump while fighting for Ukrainian sovereignty and future continental stability.

Why the fvck should Europe worry about keeping the US on board?

Under its current leadership it is a lawless authoritarian state, allied with Putin's Russia.

Fvck #Trump, fvck his administration, and fvck Russia too.

Slava Ukraini!! 🇺🇦

Doncaster Reform UK councillor quits party for second time in two weeks Nicola Brown resigns over Reform UK decision to vote to borrow £57m to re-open Doncaster airport.

It's a pity that Reform UK Ltd is very far from a joke.

Because it's (briefly) elected representatives are doing their best to make it a laughing stock! Maybe that's the plan...

We'll all be too busy laughing to remember what a serious threat to democracy they are 🤢

Reform’s record £9m crypto donation is just the latest offering from abroad | The Observer

Two-thirds of Reform's huge income - much more than even Farage's personal wealth - comes from overseas 'sources'.

How can this cynical fraud, and admirer of Vladimir Putin, stand in front of the union flag and claim to be on the side of British working people?? 🤮

Farage urged to ‘come clean’ over alleged election spending breaches in Clacton Reform campaign accused by ex-councillor of falsely reporting expenses during Farage’s run to become MP last year

Oh dear... Classic Reform UK. The accusations come from a former member - in other words they're infighting again.

And what accounted for some of the illegal spend? Refurbishing a bar in the constituency office 🤣

You couldn't make it up. Even if you were sober...

One more thought James. I guess you'll know the wonderful epitaph Yeats wrote for himself - the last verse of "Under Ben Bulben'...

New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says The Kremlin welcomes the starkly worded document, which does not cast Russia as a threat to the US.

Unbe-fucking-lievable...

Putin's puppet, #Trump, is getting a pat on the back because his 'vision' aligns with the Kremlin's.

Wake up, Europe! Under its current administration, the USA is a hostile state 😢

Cheers James! Hands up, I wouldn't have got the Keats... 👍

President Trump may walk away from Ukraine peace process, his eldest son says Speaking to Sky's lead world news presenter Yalda Hakim at Doha Forum 2025, Donald Trump Jr also said Elon Musk was "100%" back in the president's good books.

Because he's got bored... And anyway, FIFA have now given him a "peace prize" which is much bigger and shinier than the Nobel one 🤮

#Trump is a shallow, vain and pathetic Moron. Yet a nation's future is in his hands.

How have we let this happen?

Farage dodges press as he unveils Reform’s first peer after Conservative defection Party leader leaves latest recruit, Malcolm Offord, to field questions on antisemitism allegations at Scotland rally

A man who was made a peer under Boris Johnson, just so that he could be a minister for Scotland, having failed to be actually elected, and has since bunged a million quid Farage's way is now going to have the cheek to ask Scottish working people to vote for him?

Really?

For me, Larkin...

"As if to prove our almost instinct, almost true
What will survive of us is love"

Four arrested over defacing of Crown Jewels display case at Tower of London The group Take Back Power says its members poured custard and apple crumble on the display.

And so they should be arrested!!

What a terrible waste of good apple crumble!😋

Pity they couldn't pinch Charlie's baubles too...

Watch out Europe, Trump is coming for your elections next MAGA’s mission to meddle in European politics should terrify Starmer, Macron and Merz. Will any of them fight back?

Keir Starmer is correct in his belief that the far right poses a threat to democracy in Europe.

What he seems unable to recognise is that it is now official US policy to encourage "patriotic" parties across Europe.

#Trump is not an ally, to be welcomed. He is an enemy.

How Farage’s response to racism claims is straight out of Trump’s populist playbook Reform UK leader’s legal threats, denials and attacks on the media are tactics often deployed by US president

How to respond to legitimate scrutiny...

Threaten to sue everyone ✅
Deny everything ✅
Undermine the media ✅
Insult a woman ✅
Rinse and repeat ✅

Sound familiar? #Farage, our very own mini #Trump, deploys his master's tactics... 🤮

#Trump is now being awarded the 'FIFA Peace Prize', and the grovelling bastards are fawning all over him... 🤮
I wonder how much he bunged them for that...?

Oh my gawd. I have the radio on; it's the World Cup draw. And what's the first thing I hear expenses-loving Gianni Infantino announce? The presence of that well-known football fan, #Trump.

I suppose the consolation is that whilst he's freeloading with FIFA, he's not pardoning any criminals... 🤬

Farage denies crypto billionaire wants anything in return for £9m donation to Reform The Reform UK leader promoted the cryptocurrency company which Christopher Harborne holds shares in – one month after receiving a record donation for the party

After receiving the money, honest Nige, man of the people, publicly promoted Tether, Harborne's crypto company.
Asked about the donation, Farage said: "Does he want anything in return for his money? I promise you absolutely nothing".

So that's alright then...🤮

Nigel Farage urged to sack Reform council leader accused of racism Party is investigating Ian Cooper as Labour MPs call for him to resign as leader of Staffordshire county council

I can't help feeling these urgings might fall on deaf ears...

After all, Nigel Farage sacking someone for being a racist would be rather like Donald Trump sacking someone for being a bright orange senile narcissist 🤮
