Interesting body language from Steer Calmer

Whatever’s in the Epstein files about Trump is so bad that he called them a hoax, accused Obama of treason, shut down the Epstein investigation, recessed Congress to prevent a vote on releasing the files, and rushed his criminal attorney to prison to offer Epstein’s accomplice an immunity deal

Lurching like she’s forcing the lies out of her body…

Getting strong farage vibes "I'm not telling anyone to throw a brick at a grubby foreigner, but it's the governments fault if they did so if you're angry with the govt you know what to do"

I'm a life long Columbo fan and have my next holiday to book now, I have to go. Why are his shoes so shiny though, I like to think people kiss his feet but fear it may be dogs paying their respects.

May I suggest 'the peace of wild things' as your accompanying literature

Just before the 2010 election, I heard an interview with a BNP guy by Stephen Nolan on 5Live.
Nolan started the interview by saying he wouldn't be asking about immigration but the other BNP policies.
BNP guy was floored and babbled nonsense for 10 minutes.
The BBC should try the tactic with Farage.

The Lib Dems have reported the BBC to Ofcom for giving "undue prominence" to Reform UK in its coverage of the UK-France deal yesterday.

More should do this. Politicians, organisations, members of the public

The over representation of Reform UK reaction to issues, by not just the BBC, but many media outlets, is in plain sight. But the BBC praises itself for impartiality and balance. It’s paid for by public license fees.

Enough is enough. ❌

I, along with my @libdems.org.uk colleagues from across the South West, have written to South West Water CEO Susan Davy, calling for her resignation.

Ofwat's recent report found that South West Water was failing at both an operational and management level.

Spraying the dog with English tap water is a death sentence anyway 😂

Facts matter.

'he sounded like a morbidly obese opinionated pub bore'

some truths:

brexit is making us poorer

austerity is killing people and slowing our progress

fossil fuel subsidy is countering climate action

FPTP makes our democracy unrepresentative

our media is dividing us

privatisation is ruining public services

the rich won't leave if we tax them

It keeps the flies off his chips

Maybe Westminster should answer to the Senedd. Not a bad idea.

@danneidle.bsky.social I have a theory that taxing everyone equally using bands that focus on the top end of their earnings would be a fairer tax system. Eg top 1pct is taxed at xpct, top 5pct at ypct etc. maybe repeat for CGT. Any merit?

The 'smell of trump' reminds me of a particularly tough episode in a lift

Trump had also made it clear in a few occasions that USA is no longer reliable as an ally or an arms supplier. I hope the 5pct is invested wisely

The overly cautious communication strategy is possibly the single biggest problem v the govt has

“As a proud supporter of systematic child-killing, I would not feel safe around people with a conscience”

every word of this

Helen Whately on LBC: on the door step. the main thing folks are pissed about is boats. Really? Not the NHS, the economy, cost of living, housing crisis, environment,
Nope, none of that, its all about the 🚣👀
