I’m with Spain

To be fair to the bbc (and boy did I criticise them over their fawning to Farage), I do think Polanski is getting airtime. It’s partly why he’s doing so well

Anyone who thinks Trump was “anointed by Jesus” is surely mentally incapacitated?

Rubio is not on point with Trump.

He’ll be gone within a month

Trump Rambles About Golden Drapes in White House as Americans Die Overseas President Donald Trump touted gold curtains he selected for the White House at a Medal of Honor ceremony shortly as Americans die in the Iran war.

Starts ww3, rambles about his ballroom

He’s a deranged mobster, who has assassinated, kidnapped, extorted, stolen, and enriched all while dropping bombs and deflecting sexual abuse allegations

Good luck in the mid terms or removing him at the end of his term

Pete Hegseth just made it clear that in this war Trump regime does NOT care about International law or even our own rules of engagement that are designed to save lives of civilians. This video will be played at the International Criminal Court as part of the prosecution of Hegseth for war crimes.

Assassinations, kidnappings, extortion, theft, militias and lots of bombs.

Kind of a crazy last 12 months from the USA

Wonder whether Barron Trump will be signing up?

It’s an empire. Empires are fought for.

Farage and Democracy?

He 100% will start to question and challenge everything. Right out of the Trump playbook

Rise up with what?

OpenAI strikes deal with Pentagon after Trump orders government to stop using Anthropic On X, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he had moved to label Anthropic as a "supply chain risk" and cancel Defense business with the company.

Meanwhile……..Anthropic refuses to allow its models to be used for war, but OpenAI apparently says no problem

World going to shit

First act of Trumps “ Board of Peace” will be to sign off Trumps war with Iran.

Sort of agree with that, but I also want us all to get out the message out beyond Bluesky of the utter insanity of voting for Farage, on many levels, of which foreign policy is but one.

Given his woeful domestic performance, I never thought I’d say it, but at least Starmer is PM.

If sycophant Farage was PM we’d all be in danger this morning

We can blame Starmer all we want for failings at home, but if Trump sycophant Farage was PM, we’d all be in a lot more danger today.

Yep, all with no thought of the greater consequences.

Farage advocating for the UK to get involved, thus creating millions more refugees and immigrants.

It’s a circularity of insanity.

Advocate wars, get refugees, blame someone else. Repeat.

I’m a bit cynical about democracy in the states right now, but the worse the polls the more he’ll dig in

Trying to fix the mid terms is inevitable. Looking for a 3rd term is likely

I think he won’t succeed in either endeavours, but what follows is often worse

Never thought I’d agree with the telegraph

Scrap the ‘royal family’ — a monarch and heir is enough Others related to the King should live, work and be held accountable like everyone else. A modern democracy has no place for unchecked privilege

Scrap the monarchy, not the concept of royal family.

However this is at least the beginning of the end, and about time

The conversation should now move to how our constitution is reset, how quickly the monarchy is dissolved and what this means for our democracy

"See you on the inside"

Beginning of the end for the royal family. Thank goodness

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office - live updates It comes after Thames Valley Police said they were assessing a complaint over the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with Jeffrey Epstein.

Hopefully this starts to bring the whole rotten edifice down

CNN Poll of Polls: Trump approval rating | CNN Politics Averages of President Donald Trump’s latest approval ratings.

I guess the further Trump falls the harder it becomes to fix the mid terms.

Not that he won’t try.

However I increasingly have faith the USA electorate will solve this issue

Here’s hoping the UK electorate will equally try, and solve the Farage threat !!

Not a word on democracy!

Trump tells Starmer handing Chagos Islands to Mauritius is a ‘big mistake’ US president had recently said that the plan was the best deal Starmer could make

Got to agree with Ed Davey. You simply can’t make any strategic plans with Trump in the White House.

Stop being nice Starmer, and tell him to F off.

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Millions of Brits face tax rises to boost defence spending to fight Putin threat The warning came as Sir Keir Starmer signalled he wanted to increase defence spending to 3% of GDP by 2029

It’s right to increase defence spending but let’s make sure 100% is spent in the UK and Europe, (and as a prelude to rejoining the EU.)

Not a penny or cent to the USA, tech bros and Trump.

This man is completely unhinged.

William and Catherine all smiles in Valentine's Day photograph The previously unseen photo was shared with the caption

Can’t help but feel that these tedious photo shoots will increasingly appeal to no one, but the most extreme royalists.

It’s so outdated and actually just plain weird, (especially given what’s currently going on)
