Missed out this one!

I can’t give @thangamdebbonaire.bsky.social an actual medal, so instead here’s a collage of her priceless reactions on tonight’s @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

(Ps, well done for managing to get a word in edgeways… Quality over quantity & all that 🙌) #Gold #Newsnight

It’s almost ‘that time of the week’ where a certain lying, fat mattress pens his back of a fag packet, £25k’s worth of ‘opinion’ for the Daily Fail.

My bingo card contains Agincourt, Waterloo & Napoleon amongst a load of waffling, word salad bollocks!

#EntenteCordiale #Brexshit

Since the pink tie became a Hancock ‘trademark’ I fail to see how anyone in their right mind would still wear one.

Cutting welfare, while the State continues to act like a cash cow, funnelling BILLIONS in subsidies to those with pockets already full …is morally bankrupt.

Fix the root cause. Redesign the structure. End inequality!!

Proud of my MP today. @labourlewis.bsky.social 👏

Irony’s dead as a door nail… 🙄

Trump’s military masturbation parade tomorrow may actually end up costing $100m, the NYT reports.

An advance look at “On Parade,” David Plunkert’s cover for next week's issue. #NewYorkerCovers

‘Dave never felt comfortable coming to our home because there were poor people walking on the pavements outside and said we were very brave for slumming it’

I’m howling 😂

Pure unadulterated joy from @mrjohncrace.bsky.social 👏

Great contributions from @darrenpjones.bsky.social & Sarah Olney on tonight’s Question Time.

For me, this guy stole the show at the 11th hour! 👏👏

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

Trump administration to cut all USAID overseas roles and axe thousands of staff State department to take control of US foreign assistance programs in mass restructuring by 30 September

The death count mounts.

Yes the actor. I knew very little about him before listening to the podcast. Well worth checking out Ethnie!

Sly Stone, leader of 1960s funk band, dies at age 82 Sly Stone, the driving force behind Sly and the Family Stone, a multiracial American band whose boiling mix of rock, soul and psychedelia embodied 1960s idealism and helped popularize funk music, has died at the age of 82, his family said on Monday.

Well the latest @mrjamesob.bsky.social Full Disclosure with Larry Lamb is utterly brilliant. What a smashing bloke. #lbc #globalplayer

Guardian’s Patrick Butler and Josh Halliday win Paul Foot award Journalists honoured for their ‘enraging and heartbreaking’ coverage of the carer’s allowance crisis The Guardian journalists Patrick Butler and Josh Halliday have won the Paul Foot award for their coverage of how vulnerable British carers were taking to court for accidentally claiming the allowance alongside part-time work. The pair uncovered how carers were prosecuted even though many had tried to report their earnings to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Tens of thousands of carers have unwittingly fallen foul of earnings rules each year since the DWP permanent secretary Sir Peter Schofield promised MPs in 2019 that new technology would eradicate the problem by preventing overpayments “in some cases before they happen”. In the five years after the verify earnings and pensions tool, known as VEP, was presented as a solution to the problems of carer’s allowance, more than 262,000 overpayments totalling in excess of £325m were clawed back from carers, and 600 carers were prosecuted and received criminal records, according to the National Audit Office. In the case of one man, who was convicted for over-claiming 30p a week, the DWP has since acknowledged he made an innocent mistake. Labour has now set up an independent review of the allowance and raised the earnings limit for those claiming it. The 2025 awards ceremony on Tuesday was hosted at Bafta by Private Eye editor Ian Hislop, who said: “Who cares? This is the big question in Britain at the moment and the winners wrote brilliantly about these very people.” Continue reading...

Good fade out @mrjamesob.bsky.social … now breathe!!

Christ on a bike, well done 👏 #lbc #brexit

Our country is divided. Years of austerity saw to that. A lack of investment in services & skills training. Cost of living. You won’t get paid more if immigration’s cut as they’re moaning about paying the living wage as it is. Yet we have more billionaires than ever. End inequality. #ChangeTheGame

East Anglia’s fighters and saboteurs that were never needed VE Day marks the end of WWII in Europe, but in 1940, Britain faced invasion. Secret fighters were trained for sabotage in case the German army landed

By summer 1940, Germany had swept through Europe. East Anglia was a likely landing zone for invasion.

So Britain built something radical: hidden bunkers, guerrilla fighters, and a suicide mission.

I wonder what radio station this Question Time audience member listens too… 😉

Well said fella.

‘Brexit was the biggest con to enforce economic sanctions on ourselves. That’s a fact… We voted to make ourselves poorer’

Sound familiar @mrjamesob.bsky.social ??

Reform huge gains are not to be underestimated but that's a very telling little strip.

Alone centre stage, for Nige this was his triumph and no one else’s | John Crace No thanks for Reform’s new MP and mayor, they were mere decoration on Farage’s victory lap

‘Got a grievance? Then Farage is there to verbalise it & sell it back to you.’

Behind the veneer smile is ‘An anger born of the fragility of a man who believes he has been hard done by.’

‘The establishment man who feels he has been ignored by the establishment’

Crace has nailed it, yet again 👏

A reader reminds me that El Salvador is actually Trump's gulag; Venezuela is simply his straw monster.

Every day’s a quality day… but today’s callers into @mrjamesob.bsky.social are brilliant. John, Mark & the guy who brought up Thiel. Excellent stuff 👏 #LBC

Every time this lying fat mattress, wheels out his £25k ‘back of a fag packet’ article, irony dies.

It’s a weekly occurrence. Groundhog Day.

Grifting, freeloading twat. #DailyFail #irrelevant #LiarJohnson

America, 2025.

When Govt spends, we should be thinking about how that money can stay within local economies to help communities rather than outsourcing to private equity firms…. who’ll syphon it up & out! @labourlewis.bsky.social

#Newsnight #BlackRock #LocalGovernment #TaxWealthNotWages #Economy

Yes @labourlewis.bsky.social 👏 👏👏
The Tories were booted out after 14 years of austerity. We CAN fund public services AND support our most vulnerable WITHOUT cuts. Our economy needs an overhaul. #TaxWealthNotWork
