this is exactly how I feel about the current regime.

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

I didn't see this until this morning 😂🔥🫳

What a f'ing embarrassment this regime is.

The path from abusing foreigners to abusing the disabled is well-trodden. I I hope this nugget is bright enough to reflect on who else has walked it.

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this.

At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

Rachel Reeves has been cleared by the independent advisor on Ministerial Standards

But it is ridiculous that she is being told to resign for a £945 mistake which her letting agent should have sorted

Meanwhile Tories got away with heaps & now Farage is getting away with his £900,000 house scandal!

So why does the BBC label the academic and economist Faiza Shaheen an "activist" but refuse to do the same for the former academic, turned anti-migrant activist Matt Goodwin?

“He was very strong on congratulating me.”

Hey @dailymail.co.uk we fixed your newspapers for you 💋

Lord Rothermere who owns the Daily Mail pays NO TAX in the UK.

The rest of us fund public services, he CHOSES not to. Yet we’re supposed to believe problems in the NHS are migrants’ fault? The utter cheek.

Unbelievable thread.
(You should be following Emma btw.)

Murderers. The entire Congress, GOP let this happen, along with OUR own DOD. Indict all of them.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage

From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash came from foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons touted their business on an international investor roadshow.

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million.

In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million.

A massive percentage came from foreigners.

It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics.

But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Firing an entire federal arts commission to clear the path for your own triumphal arch? It’s a textbook indicator of authoritarian executive overreach — the exact trend we warned about in our assessment.

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

That. Is. A. Disgrace.

The President of the United States thinks a test for dementia is an IQ test, and none of his sycophants will tell him he’s wrong.

Let that sink in.

A reminder that this is the same Rishi Sunak who when he was Prime Minister raised taxes to their highest level in more than 70 years

Reform’s Sarah Pochin forced to apologise after claiming adverts 'full of black people' drive her 'mad’ | LBC The Runcorn and Helsby MP was responding to a viewer live on air who complained about the demographics of advertising.

Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?

Sadly, we no longer live in a functioning democracy.

Very concerning, if true.

Frank Lampard and Coventry City Can Turn Dreams of a Top-Flight Return Into Reality | Opta Analyst Coventry City are top of the Championship and they deserve to be there. Is this the season they finally end their 24-year absence from the Premier League?

Coventry City are on a five-game winning run. They have NEVER won six league games in a row in a single season before.

Maybe 2025-26 is going to be special...

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

What's Caerphilly and Clacton got in common?

Neither's likely to see Nigel Farage today.
