There are British Trump fans on Twitter openly begging him to sue the BBC so we the tax payer can hand him a few million.
What a time to be alive.

I watched Trump’s entire Capitol speech live. He 100% encouraged what happened. Now people are resigning over saying that?

WHAT THE FUCK?

I'm genuinely worried about things going south at the No Kings protests in US today. Trump is begging for a reason to trigger Insurrection Act. Not beyond belief there'll be Agent Provocateurs in the crowds. One Battle After Another for real.

@nivenj1.bsky.social Ffs, John. Needed a trigger warning on the audio version of Fathers. Was walking the dog this morning and reached the πŸ‡ scene. Luckily, nobody saw me greetin' my eyes out.

Amazing writing, though. πŸ‘Œ

@nivenj1.bsky.social I’m a new dad in my 40s and have just literally been stopped dead in my tracks upon reaching the end of Part 2 of The Fathers. I’ve never had such a physical reaction to a book before. Why did you have to do it??!! I shall read on…

The US president is expected to arrive in the UK on Tuesday night. He will enjoy a huge amount of special treatment as ministers attempt to preserve the special relationship, including a ceremonial welcome at Windsor Castle for Trump and his wife, Melania.

The scenes in London yesterday were the logical end result of billionaires and politicians spending a decade pandering to the very worst instincts of the bottom 30% of the school class.

And it will get worse.

Thank you The Observer: just the world’s richest man calling for the overthrow of the democratically elected UK government. Musk actually said β€˜you don’t have time to wait 4 years until your next election.’

I made the point a few days ago that you could feel the rage of the far right because they didn’t get their riots this summer.
Looks like they’ll get them today.

The worst people in the UK out in force in London today. Yaxley Lennon claiming 3 million. Is there a realistic estimate of crowd size?
