I genuinely think there is a concerted effort by the media to bring this government down. It's sinister and undemocratic.

British.

Cheesy leeks are great with roast chicken. That is all.

Zack Polanski: I went on Question Time - I was blown away by the response The response has been quite overwhelming.

Zack Polanski: I went on Question Time, I put to Reform that their former leader in Wales was in the pocket of Putin, taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia while an MEP, they had no answer, because patriots don’t peddle for Putin. metro.co.uk/2025/10/10/z...

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money review – a devastating picture of the biggest spending scandal ever This rigorous look at the Tories’ ‘VIP lane’ for PPE suppliers during Covid raises questions about the motivations of those involved – ones that are almost too disgusting to contemplate

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right…
What a grim betrayal of our democracy.

@samcoatessky.bsky.social hi Sam, this morning you stated “…the main opposition parties, the Cons and Reform UK…”

Unless I missed 67 Parliamentary by-elections since July, the Lib Dems are very much the main opposition party with the Cons, not Reform.

Do we have to keep doing this?

Beg pardon?

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

The piano on You Are My World. @richardcoles.bsky.social. phenomenal 😍

So, arrived home from holiday today and three Union Flags have randomly appeared on lampposts in my street. Question is, do I take them down?? 🤔

Wait for the 50s...

Beautiful. I can smell the evening.

Here's a fact for you all.

Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK.

Not ONE.

This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit.

But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.

Same 🙌

Farage adviser said UK would be better off if it had not fought in WW2 Exclusive: Jack Anderton says UK may ‘regain’ former colonies in future and suggests end to support for Ukraine

Fantasy world of Farage adviser:

UK should not have fought Nazi Germany.
Could “regain” former colonies.
Should copy mass incarcerations as in El Salvador.
Should not support Ukraine.

Elsewhere Reform opposes worker rights, wants US style healthcare, return to gold standard for currency.

This is the best one yet... "Columbus" - Because of the maps! 🤣🤣🤣
Nearly choked on my coffee!

I'm in Carlisle (UK). It's too hot. We're not used to this. Send help!

Letter of the day (in the Times)

I thought Conservatives wanted to deport foreign criminals?

What do they actually want?

Just to be a cynical wrecking ball, in Chalk's case it seems...

Gosh, Chancellor Rachel Reeves needs to find £40 billion to maintain her fiscal rules

Labour keeping the UK out of the EU Single Market costs us £40 billion a year in lost tax revenues

It just never ends. Pam Bondi has convened a grand jury to look into claims that members of the Obama administration may have violated federal law during their investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election.

This didn’t age well .

She's not wrong.

They moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum security prison camp.

In order to qualify living in such a posh prison:

Federal inmate must be within 10 yrs of release date. Federal inmate must not have a documented history of violence or sex offense over a. prescribed period of time (at least 10 yrs).
