It’s a simple choice @labouruk.bsky.social
Does Britain want a Trumpian oligarch dictatorship or something else?

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Today it was confirmed that the president told the world's most infamous pedophile and child sex trafficker: "We have certain things in common."

For any other president, it would be the biggest scandal of their lives, possibly career-ending.

For Trump, it's just Monday.

If Mandelson is sacked for his friendship with Epstein...

Then why is Trump still invited on a state visit & banquet when he had the exact same ties to Epstein...?

What are the chances that our PM grows a spine & pulls the plug on the whole circus?!

They are attacking the Police again, at the 'peaceful march'.

Imagine if Pro Palestine supporters did this (they never do), they would all be instantly in jail.

This Wednesday, we have a chance to show people that we reject the Trumpification of UK politics. I'll be playing some songs at the rally in Parliament Square. Hope to see you there

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences.

The modern American right in 2025, folks.

Windsor Castle UK: activists from the collective @ledbydonkeys.org project images of Trump with Epstein onto the castle’s walls.

Musk failed in Germany, Trump Jr failed in Greenland.. now they turn to the UK.

Record numbers of Americans seeking UK citizenship because of London’s values, says mayor Ahead of Donald Trump’s state visit, Sadiq Khan hit back at US critics of the capital’s crime rates and diverse population

Great trolling from the Mayor to release this today, as Trump arrives in the UK

ICYMI — ahead of his state visit, Trump was welcomed to the UK with the world’s largest Epstein-Trump photo. Right outside Windsor Castle, where he’s staying.

Funded by donations from the British public.

Trump is getting trolled hard in the UK.

Let's remind ourselves the close working relationship with Trump and Starmer
Satire isn't dead! :)

"This striking comparison shows Blomstrand Glacier in Svalbard, Norway, captured 107 years apart — in 1918, and again in 2024
In the original image, a solid wall of Arctic ice dominates the horizon
Today, that same location reveals barren rock & drastically receded glacier."

Mark Thomas ran a consultation to find a new meaning for the word ‘farage’. After many entries and suggestions a new definition was decided.

Farage: (noun) the liquid found at the bottom of a bin or waste container.

Usage: “There’s a leak in the food waste and I’ve dripped farage over my slippers

It's official,
the greediest MP
is still .... Nigel Farage!!!

The Brits who beat Brexit: Gibraltar celebrates its return to Europe Nearly a decade after Britain quit the E.U., British residents of Gibraltar on the southern tip of Spain, will regain travel and commercial access under a treaty.

Now Gibraltar has won its way back into Schengen and a customs deal with more access than before Brexit, while the rest of us are stuck with queues, red tape and decline.

And where’s the UK press? Silent.

Once again it’s Washington Post exposing Brexit.

Wasted Wind Britain wastes millions a day switching off wind turbines. See how much has been wasted today, and in 2025.

Great Britain wastes £180,000 every hour switching off wind turbines and overpaying gas generators to switch on. That's £904,208,351 so far this year! wastedwind.energy

Shameful waste of green energy and making consumers pay higher prices @labouruk.bsky.social

Wasted Wind Britain wastes millions a day switching off wind turbines. See how much has been wasted today, and in 2025.

When it's really windy, we fill the grid with more clean energy than we need. This creates excess grid energy which can't get to where it's needed.
As a result, we pay to make it again (often with dirty fossil fuels), as well as paying to switch the wind off.

I look at the ugly state of politics in the USA and ask myself how anyone with a brain would want that imported here... but then ... Reform...
