Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

Exactly!

BREAKING: A wonderful speech from Green Party's Hannah Spencer after winning the Gorton and Denton by-election.

Congratulations!

Joy Division/New Order are amongst the newly announced nominees for the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The fan vote is now open - so make your voice heard…

Vote Joy Division/New Order now via vote.rockhall.com - you can vote daily!

Gaslight Anthem joined by Bruce Springsteen on John Peel Stage at Glastonbury was quite special if not totally unexpected.

Having a decent MP who knows your people, isn’t parachuted in, doesn’t have second/third jobs is worth its weight in gold.

I have Richard Holden who does nothing for us. He won by 20 votes.

Gorton & Denton you’ve got 3.5 years with your choice.

Make it wisely.

I’m wondering if @mrjamesob.bsky.social is watching “Dirty Business” on C4.

It’s as shocking as it is excellent.
I hope it gets the exposure it deserves & the villains of the story finally get what they deserve…

Dirty Business Shocking real-life drama about the muck in our water and a corporate scandal

Please watch Dirty Business, C4, outlining what is essentially an organised crime network making a fortune out of the UK water infrastructure.

It seems we can't re-nationalise - our govt would prefers not to rock the boat.

My pleasure. Good luck with the training and then the event - it looks a tough one

Training hard with great motivation. Raising funds for the incredible East Lancashire Hospice. It’s criminal that successive Governments don’t fund these essential services.

EXCLUSIVE: Starmers take children to Poland for emotional search into Jewish family roots Prime Minister and Lady Victoria travel to remote village outside Warsaw with their two children during weekend break

Starmer last week:
Take children to Poland for an emotional search into Jewish family roots.
Farage:
Fly to the Seychelles on a private jet paid for by foreign oligarchs, pull a stupid fascist stunt to impress Reform subscribers, and squeeze some more money out of them.

● Typical cost of a Business Class flight to Maldives is £3,100 - £3,200+ return

● 2 of those minimum so £6,400+

● Accommodation minimum of £250-£350 per night. Farage demands finer things in life though so can exceed £1,000

● Gross household average salary Gorton & Denton £653 per week

Reform wants to put public unions ‘under review’, by-election candidate has said Comments late last year indicate challenges Farage faces in courting working-class voters

Unions enforce your employment rights.
Unions can help if you’re discriminated against or mistreated by your employer.
Reform doesn’t want you to have that help.
They don’t care how badly you’re treated at work.
They’re taking the piss out of you.
You should mind.

Farage accused of 'cheap stunt' after being 'denied entry' to Chagos Islands The Foreign Office website makes clear the restricted access of the British Indian Ocean Territory and clearly states 'you need a permit before you travel'

But it's not "a cheap stunt."

Farage won't have flown economy, or alone and if there was "an aid boat" that will have cost money too.

It's expensive flying to the Maldives.

Where did he stay?
How long is he staying?

How much did it cost?
Who picked up the tab?

There's a lot of positive economic news coming out for the UK right now - not that you'd know it from much of the UK Westminster media and their desperate narrative to undermine a Labour government.
I don't know how they get the message out better in such a toxic media/social media environment.

And where did that ‘true Tory budget’ with its tax cuts take us, DM hacks? Straight to 6% interest rates and 12% inflation.

UK reports record-breaking budget surplus of £30.4bn in surprise boost for Rachel Reeves Largest January total since records began in 1993 is sharp reversal from December’s £11.6bn deficit

Another green shoot. Ironic that evidence of economic recovery is starting to build just as govt’s stock is lowest - it means they’re not getting credit for something that feels like it might actually be going right (shock, horror) www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Ah Matt turn off comments.
Why?
Maybe to stop people pointing out that:
a) All Reform MPs voted against the Workers’ Rights Bill
b) He took a hefty salary from a Hungarian far-right organisation
c) He doesn’t even live in the area—and likely won’t be seen after the election
d) All of the above?🤔

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

If you have a Royal Family, you have deference.

If you have a Royal Family, you have a class system.

If you have a RF, you essentially say, "These people are better than everyone else by dint of birth & should maintain enormous influence, wealth and power."

Why would anyone want that at all?

Reform candidate called it ‘insane’ to jail man who said ‘burn asylum hotels’ Exclusive: It comes after The Independent revealed that Matt Goodwin called for ‘young girls’ to be given ‘biological reality’ check

Matt Goodwin said in a post on X: “Welcome to the UK. Where you go to prison for 18 months for anti-immigration tweets. This is insane.”

No. What is insane is shrugging off incitement to racial murder.

Put this man in the bin, not the House of Commons.

Huge applause as Starmer declares Britain has moved beyond the Brexit years. One of the strongest EU speeches by a PM in decades - yet barely covered by the BBC or MSM. While serious leadership is ignored, airtime still goes to Farage and recycled outrage. Kuenssberg, Zeffman, Mason, Gibb - out.

Tell you what Jim.

If the UK has been colonised by migrants, come back, pay your fucking taxes and support the country you purport to love.

No? What’s that? You’re happy in Monaco where they don’t impose personal taxes on their residents?

Funny that.

Tax dodging, unpatriotic racist.

Johnson partied as pensioners died alone. Why didn't Johnson get this pressure to resign. Farage appointed a Russian Agent as the leader of Reform UK in Wales. Why doesn't Farage get this pressure to resign The answer is the Tory Press.

Very good from @verybrexitproblems.bsky.social
