Right-wing media, Reform and Tories all betrayed us this week. They couldn’t bring themselves to back the govt or our country because it would mean putting their nasty, point-scoring, twatty politics aside for the greater good. They exposed our post-Brexit weakness and their own toxic incompetence.

And to think he was overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize.

No half-sentient person would trust Trump with a barbecue, and here we are watching him start a war to distract from his weapons grade depravity & incompetence.

Trump had launched a new war Epstein, which is entirely justified Epstein, because Iran was an imminent threat Epstein. Thousands will die Epstein, and millions will be displaced Epstein, leading to global instability Epstein.

But at least we're not talking about him cheating at golf.

Perhaps I’m too harsh but I don’t have it in me to sympathise with “roll the dice” voters anymore when the dice keep coming up snake eyes

I was a month from being 19, but it has to be this

It doesn’t really matter *why* Trump’s desire to destabilise & divide Europe precisely mirrors Vladimir Putin’s - whether kompromat, self-interest, naked bigotry or something else l. What matters is that Europe treats both regimes like the enemies of progress & democracy they so clearly are.

The truth is simple, the billionaires are desperate for you to hate the brown/black people.

So you don't hate them.

Why are billionaires so fucking miserable and spiteful?!?

Productivity increases between 5% and 13% with working from home, and worker wellbeing improves hugely too.

But Farage doesn't care about reality. Or productivity. Or your wellbeing.

He cares about the workplace property investors who bankroll him.

H2ogate Blues by Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson on Apple Music Song · 1974 · Duration 8:26

52 years, nothing has changed

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Left: President Trump says that If anti ICE protestors do anything bad to 'our people' they will have to suffer

Right: What did this 7 year old girl on the Alex Pretti memorial bike ride in Portland, Oregon do, to suffer tear gas from ICE, which she says is 'burning'?

Nothing (really) to do with the article but, when I first saw the image, I thought it was Bradley Cooper, I looked closer and realised it was Will Arnett, then I read the article 🤯

Braverman says she's been "politically homeless" for over 2 years, which means she was reelected in 2024 as an MP for a party she didn't want to be a member of.

And she says Tories "failed Britain [on] Brexit and immigration". She was Brexit minister and Home Secretary. Twice.

But "vote for me!"

Closest anyone will ever get to an apology from The Orange ManBoy - now he should say something similar to the other 31 countries whose military he insulted

For anyone who's interested, James O'Brien is discussing Trump's comments about NATO on his programme this morning with traumtaised ex-military and bereaved families phoning in.
Callers in tears at the sense of betrayal and anger.
It makes for difficult listening.

Moreover, they’re the only country to have invoked it.

It’s an amazing piece of work, had me it bits when I watched it.

Louis-Dreyfus sends message to Newcastle United with Sunderland approach Sunderland’s derby victory reflected the rapid cultural shift under Kyril Louis-Dreyfus – and sent a clear message to Newcastle United

Excellent piece by @jamescopley.bsky.social in the Echo today! Think the part about Mayenda, Neil, Patto, Riggy and Moore leading the celebrations is particularly insightful into the unity of the whole squad. Great times on Wearside! #SAFC

And these CLOWNS want the keys to Downing Street.

There was a time when I'd have cared deeply about the BBC.

But they adopted a deliberate policy of kowtowing to the right, backing away from every fight, believing compliance would protect the license fee, and the right would leave them alone.

Stand up to bullies, or get knocked down by reality.

What a cunt

Another very pertinent fact that I have not seen mentioned ANYWHERE: In 14 years of Tory rule we had 14 Prisons Ministers - six in a single year, at one point - and a total of 11 Justice Secretaries, including Grayling, Raab, and Truss. In 13 years of Labour it was three: Irvine, Falconer, Straw. 🤔

CHEMSDINE TALBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱

THAT’S IT!! WE’VE DONE IT!!!!

CHELSEA 1-2 SUNDERLAND!!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social, I know the phone in is long finished, but i'm listening on catch up. Anyway, not that you asked, or are even interested but, here is my (modern) mini parked next to a Sierra Saphire, once considered a big car.

Hope is catching on 💛 Across towns and cities, people are showing that unity, care and community spirit still matter. Thank you to everyone taking part.

... And then tomorrow I can phone up to ask for a refund for the 2 trains that failed utterly.

And still 2 more trains and a tube that could go disastrously wrong.

Remind me how this is cheaper and better than a nationalised service?

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.
