Trump wants to block US visas for anyone who has been involved in fact-checking, content moderation, or online child safeguarding as he obviously regards the truth was his main enemy. But blocking anyone who has tried to stop online sexual abuse of children is a bit of a giveaway. #Epstein

Tower of London reopens after food thrown at crown jewels display Four people arrested after civil-resistance group Take Back Power protest against inequality in the UK

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... It's only a matter of time before apple crumble and custard is proscribed by this idiot government as a terror weapon, possession of which can get you arrested and banged up for 10 years.

If I gave a shit about football, which thankfully I don't, I'd be seriously upset by the sight of the head of FIFA awarded a (specially concocted) 'peace medal' to the toddler Trump.

Starmer rules out any thought of the UK (re)joining the EU Customs Union, much to the dismay and anger of most people in this land. Why? We all know he is politically inept, but is there also some darker, corrupter, reason? Either way he has to go.

I can understand why many people, especially the 'left behind', are fed up with the mainstream parties, but how can they be so fucking deluded as to think that Farage and his bunch of crypto-fascist ghouls would actually be better?

He's clearly spent too much time with Trump โ€“ it's affecting his language, and not in a good way.

Farage, under attack for his racist behaviour when at Dulwich College, is now threatening to boycott the BBC. Oh, yes please. Please do the country a favour and refuse to appear on any BBC programme.

Starmer is, to slip into the vernacular, a fucking useless heap of shit. The sooner he goes the better โ€“ but make sure that poisonous dwarf McSweeney and his crew go too

Nigel Farage urged to sack Reform council leader accused of racism Party is investigating Ian Cooper as Labour MPs call for him to resign as leader of Staffordshire county council

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... If Farage was to sack every RefUK councillor or MP who was demonstrably racist thereโ€™d be no-one left. Heโ€™d even have to sack himself.

Hunt is one of the Tory Chancellors I was describe as malevolent as he seemed to spend his time digging elephant traps (like the unfunded cuts to employee NIC) which Reeves obligingly walked straight into. After 40-odd years of growing inequality, radical change is needed; tinkering will not do it.

Feline living the life of Riley thank you. You seem to be under the strange misapprehension that just because someone is appointed Chancellor it automatically follows that they know what they're doing. Every Tory Chancellor from Osborne to Hunt was either incompetent or malignant.

If anything Reeves under-stated the dire condition of the UK economy. Unfortunately she also did bugger all to fix it. Yet another missed opportunity.
