Huge Ukrainian drone attack on Russia currently underway. They’re not letting up.

Marjorie Taylor Greene tells Bill Maher she believes extraterrestrials are demons Georgia Republican lawmaker also claims she didn’t know Rothschild family, of her ‘space laser’ theory, was Jewish

This thick twat believes aliens are actually Demons 😕 This is the sort of christo-nationalist insanity that people in America vote for. And.. let's not forget the 'space lasers', fired by Bankers, that she says started california wild fires. 🤣😂

Actually, we need some clarity from LibDems, because your incessant bland statements on this are meaningless. Stand up for human rights without prevarication or soon, many of us will be abandoning the LibDems

The voices of liberals have been ignored today because of the vague threat from transphobes. I joined a party that stands up for its lgbt members and I’m prepared to leave one that doesn’t. Where is your comment on this transphobic and totally arbitrary rule change today?

I’m an atheist.

I was taught responsibility, compassion and have a moral compass without belief in some all-powerful, all-knowing entity.

Knowing right from wrong and behaving humanely doesn’t take religion.

What the GOP and Administration are doing is overtly cruel and brutal. 😞

This pretty well sums up this racist “Smoke & Mirrors” political party….

Oakeshott used to live in this street in Charlbury in the Cotswolds.

You couldn't get a more genteel place – a very long way from immigration or deprivation or anything else she'd object to.

An alleged fucking writer too...she remains just a nauseating hack

If they're going to break the manifesto they might as well do something useful and announce that the UK will be rejoining the EU ASAP.

Starmer's idiotic red lines painted Reeves into an annual £40bn black hole from the start.

They've admitted it now, so why not bite the bullet and correct it?

Please ignore the nonsense that comes out of Labour ministers who oppose the introduction of a four-day working week.

Trials have shown them to be remarkably successful. They boost both worker wellbeing and productivity.

I’m glad that the Lib Dems in local government are leading the way on this! 🔶

Dutch centrist liberals under Jetten head for shock election win, exit poll says Rob Jetten's D66 party celebrates, two years after his party languished in fifth place in the last vote.

Looking like the election in the Netherlands has taken an interesting turn if the first exit poll is anything to go by.

The Far Right’s Geert Wilders has already conceded.

Whether you’re a Tory, Lib Dem or Labour supporter you have to take your hat off to Michael Heseltine. A rare breed of politician and a man of integrity - a true servant. If only there were more like him today.

Reform wheels out Danny Kruger, the ‘brains’ of Nigel Farage’s operation | John Crace A man with no experience of government is to prepare the party … to govern. What could possibly go wrong?

The only way to take note of anything Kruger has to say…
through the medium of @mrjohncrace.bsky.social

“He is presented…as a man with experience of govt. In reality he has none”

Exposing Reform’s racist, Trump-styled tyranny for the ruinous idiocy it really is.

This is why the left can't have nice things. For ONCE can we please have a political figure who endorses radical wealth redistribution but doesn't have the old "West=Bad let's cut Putin some slack" mental affliction?

Say it loud
Say it clear
In #LibDem internal elections
Vote for queers

Been saying this for ages

Opinion | This is an industry of grievance and division, a machine designed to spread hate, which now operates across the British right – from respectable print outlets to wild-eyed online fascists. Don’t let them fool you

The continued presence of the government and public institutions on X should no longer be a matter of debate. It should simply be a matter of shame.

Fartrage’s 10-Minute Rule Bill today is the 1st this Parliament to fail its first reading without a vote - complete humiliation.

Since July 2024, there have been 75 such motions: 71 advanced unopposed - the norm - 4 went to votes: 3 succeeded.

His bill sought to withdraw the UK from the ECHR.

MPs make fun of that idiot Farage, calling him Putin’s pet. Nige is on the edge of crying. 😭

Never again? Memory entrepreneurship and the radical right’s assault on the postwar order

New post just out:

"Never again?"

On how the radical right are trying to change our collective memory about World War Two as part of their assault on the postwar order.

And why that memory remains a critical defence against nationalism.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage There has been widespread way of life and their strange support for prominent Reform MP customs, but Reform MPs Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of comprise only 0.7 percent of the minorities on television. House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time Said one angry viewer, "She's more than Fiona Bruce. right. Every time you turn on "I'm not prejudiced. Some of the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. Kuenssberg." There are too many people with She added, "I respect their angry red faces on television."

Nigel Farage loses major vote as he's accused of 'making career by damaging UK' Nigel Farage's call for the UK to leave the European Convention for Human Rights (ECHR) was voted down by MPs, with Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey branding it "un-British"

Not having a European passport when trying to get into Europe at passport control…..is a feckin nightmare!!!!!!

If have just a few words for our #FlagShaggers and Mr Nigel #FarageRiots…..

Wet flags in Darlington, stuck to lampposts

Wet England flag stuck in a gutter from lamppost

Union flag wet and soggy, wrapped around a lamppost

Wet and soggy england flag wrapped around lamppost

Poetic justice to the flag-shaggers. How’s that soggy, miserable xenophobia going?
Still feeling patriotic?
English weather, do your thing 😆👏🏼

LOCAL GOVERNMENT Spend on Union flags defended Reform UK-led Nottinghamshire County Council has defended plans to spend £75,000 on purchasing Union flags. More than 150 flags in 82 locations will be displayed. But opposition politicians questioned if the expenditure was a good use of public money. Sam Smith, Conservative leader of the opposition, said: "To spend £75,000 of taxpayers' money on flags seems a bit ridiculous." Labour MP for Mansfield, Steve Yemm, said: "My constituents will be appalled." REFORM UK Doge' unit fails to carry out audits Reform UK's so-called "Doge" unit has carried out no audit work in the councils it won control of nearly six months ago. The party vowed swingeing efficiency cuts to council budgets, in the mould of Elon Musk's US Department of Government Efficiency, after gaining control of nine local authorities across England in May. Deputy party leader Richard Tice told the Financial Times it was never the "intention to audit them, because audits are expensive".

Reform council dysfunctional As a Kent resident, I welcome that the national media is starting to pick up on the chaotic nature of our Reform-led administration at Kent County Council. I hope that this is the beginning of Nigel Farage's latest political project being subject to proper scrutiny. In Kent, seven Reform councillors of the 57 elected in May have resigned the whip or been suspended and they have taken a series of economically illiterate decisions. Local authorities are responsible for running essential social care, education and highways. It is dangerous to have overconfident zealots running such services. ROB FIELD MAIDSTONE, KENT

A neat summary of why Reform will only ever fuck it up.

Idiotic spending without any care about priorities or any clue as to whether they can afford it. Flags before social care or education or anything people actually need.
Farage clown-cars crashing all over the country.
