I think it’s fair to say the Guardian didn’t like the film. Excoriating and enjoyable review!

Mirror readers debate whether the UK should rejoin the EU After a bitter campaign, the UK left the European Union ten years ago sparking political chaos that triggered the resignation of Tory PM David Cameron and continues to impact Britain

Should we rejoin?
Take the Mirror poll.

Hello everyone Tim White @twmcltd.bsky.social is a must read every day to find out what is happening in Ukraine. Thanks Tim!

Surely Buttlick, though that is gross admittedly.

Thank you for calling this out. Seems like he’s learned nothing even 25 years later.

Come on folks. It could be an easy way to make search harder. Global replace Donald with Donal= and then anyone searching for Donald finds nothing. Question is have they done something similar with the word Trump.

Lutnick is an odious man. If he has lied about his involvement with Epstein he needs to be hounded out of office.

Melania review – Trump film is a gilded trash remake of The Zone of Interest Dispiriting, deadly and unrevealing – there is a decent documentary to be made about the former model from Slovenia, but this one is unredeemable

Just love this review. Favourite quote: Melania moves through the action like a listless automaton, talking constantly but saying nothing. Ouch.
I won’t be doubling the audience at the cinema any time soon but it is tempting to see why it deserves 1 star out of 5

This is a new low even for Trump Today, we caught sight of something hanging inside the White House that no other American president, living or dead, would have dared to display. Something so horrific that any one of them would’ve be...

This is important. Listen up people.

Lies and Lawlessness The Camps, the Executions, and the Future

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

And she was Good and he was Pretti - like pretty. Both very caring good people maligned by the president’s yes men and women.

Andy Burnham blocked from byelection race by Labour ruling committee Decision likely to set off ferocious row between Keir Starmer loyalists and allies of Greater Manchester mayor

Stupid of Labour not to want to have the best team. They need to fight Reform not each other. I despair of them.

Wonderful writing Jess @piperformissouri.bsky.social. Thank you for this and for your compassion.

What? Makes no sense.

Davos Was the Beginning of the End for Trump It's all downhill for here for the America's aging mad king

Fantastic articke. A must read on trump.

Elon Musk is a white supremacist. Case closed.

To all Americans if you force us to choose between the orange bully in the White House and Denmark/ Greenland, we choose Denmark. It’s time for you to get the orange one to climb down.

All European countries should stand up to him together and I am thinking of the UK as a European country here (we are already in the 8). We need to impose 10% tariffs on everything from the US then. Trump can f*** right off with his threats on this one.

LCG (@lisagranger1) Alright, I’m saying this as an Australian who is absolutely sick to death of watching the world hold its breath every time this blabbering blubbering blithering blustering baffoon opens his grotesque...

Well said. Americans you need to find a way to get rid of the tyrant. substack.com/@lisagranger...

Wow the Nobel committee wasted a prize giving it to her. She’s sycophantic and delusional.

So sad to see how fucked up America is right now. Please make sure this deportation bullshit can never happen in the UK.

The very famous Wanaka tree. Actually just a few metres into the lake at Wanaka.

US urges its citizens to flee Venezuela amid reports of paramilitaries State department says armed ‘colectivos’ appear to be setting up roadblocks and searching vehicles for Americans

Trump’s management of Venezuela is not going so well… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The bizarre thing about this is that under NATO rules the UK should also then be at war with the US. I salute you Denmark but would Starmer have the balls for this?

Welcome to Bluesky!

If you only listen to one thing today, make it the @newsagents.bsky.social episode with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social and @lewisgoodall.com - smart coherent description of where America sits today by two of the best and clearest thinking journalists out there. Thank you for a great listen!

It is time to leave the cesspit formerly known as Twitter Grok is just one of many reasons why Westminster should finally get off the website.

Yesterday I posted my last ever Tweet and called on the Government to do the same.

Read more below on why I think it’s time to leave the cesspit formerly known as Twitter.

Trump Is Helping Putin Kill Ukrainians The USA Is Running Down Ukrainian Air Defense in Coordination With Russia

Trump is an utter moron. Manipulated by Putin with ease.
