Well actually no, we don’t share their values, and I for one hope we never do.

They also seem to think that liberal, social democrat, socialist and communist are the same thing. In fact, anything other than a predatory form of capitalism equates to communism.

Ed Davey has had a very good crisis.

Let’s call it what it is; it’s extortion. A mob style shake down. To try to exploit people during an existential crisis is low, even by Trump’s already rock bottom standards. Let’s hope those countries that still believe in decency and honour can allow Ukraine to tell Trump to go fuck himself.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend.

I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

It’s ridiculous that it’s taken an unleashed and completely unhinged second coming of the Oompa Loompa King to finally bring us to our senses. The clues that they are an unreliable ally were there when they shafted us after the Second World War. Much as it pains me to say; the French were right! 😉

In these difficult days thank goodness for the Daily Star. Please share this with Trumpy friends

I think that if western civilisation had sunk to such a depth that it depended on Badenoch or the Tories in general, then it would be time to retire to the study with a bottle of whisky and a service revolver.

And by best practice privatisation they mean their special type of predatory capitalism where a small group of connected people make obscene amounts of money at the expense of everyone else.

Well, at least he took Putin’s dick out of his mouth long enough to speak.

What a massive gaslighting shit bearded bellend!

I don’t think that man is anyone’s friend. Strikes me as the sort of bloke that even his own family think of as a massive bellend.

Their new business model is to run a mob style protection racket. Not an ounce of morality or decency among them. Hopefully this is the long overdue kick up the arse Europe needs to take responsibility for its own security and build up its own defence industries to remove any reliance on the US.

Billionaires buy power, rig systems, and walk free after crimes that would destroy ordinary lives. It’s time to expose their impunity and demand accountability.

We need a free press It’s vital for democracy that we receive verifiable information that is not manipulated or controlled

Here’s a short story about who wins and loses from the status quo of our inheritance tax rules - and about, what you might politely call ‘sub-optimal’ journalism🧵

The only way to defeat Putin is by handing him his arse.

Discussing Bluesky migration in terms of liberal flight misses the simple fact that most people use social media for fun not influence and this platform, unlike X and cruddified Facebook, doesn’t feel like you’re wading through shit to reach your friends. It’s not that deep.

Macron has posed a good question recently: why do 500M rich Europeans seem to have events and outcomes imposed on them by Trump, Putin and Xi?
