you can claim you joined the military for financial reasons or whatever, but to pretend you didn't know you'd do war in the war machine is a fucking joke

"The only time I’ve ever seen him is when he pops into town for 5 minutes every couple of weeks, gets a little soundbite, and then buggers off again.”

We asked a resident in Clacton, Farage’s constituency, what he thinks about the self-proclaimed “man of the people”.

so fucking depressing living in this country— really hope the good law project legal challenge makes a difference but with the way things are right now i doubt it will

Oh that will not be a problem

Do you ever just get sad about how many people have fully embraced anti-intellectualism?

forgot this existed lol

Statement from Ed Davey: Recognition of the state of Palestine should not be used as a bargaining chip. It should have happened months ago. We also need far greater action to stop the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, including fully ceasing arms sales and implementing sanctions against the Israeli cabinet.

The Liberal Democrats welcome this first step but urge Keir Starmer to go further and recognise Palestine immediately.

a teensy brown ball of fluff sits on a gray tile floor and looks up at the camera. the dog’s eyes are wide-set and pleading, and his little mouth curves down in a dramatic frown. his little body only takes up one half of one tile, and it looks like he could be swallowed up by shadows any second. pick him up!

This is Bug. He would like to be picked up for cuddles. It is an emergency. 13/10 (IG: bugthebrusselsgriffon)

Nigel Farage is a political fraud ‘cosplaying’ as working-class champion, TUC chief says Exclusive: Paul Nowak acknowledges voters’ frustrations but says Reform UK hasn’t got the answers, and urges Keir Starmer to resist any move to the right Nigel Farage is a “political fraud and hypocrite” who is “cosplaying” as a working-class champion in order to win votes at this week’s local elections, the UK’s most senior union chief has warned. In a stark rejection of the Reform UK leader’s attempts to court the trade unions, Paul Nowak, general secretary of the TUC, said there were “massive contradictions” in Farage’s positions on issues ranging from workers’ rights, the economy, industry and Brexit.

United, undeterred and unafraid, trans people rally over court ruling Thousands gather in London’s Parliament Square to protest at judges’ decision The Observer20 Apr 2025James Tapper Stephen Chung/ LNP LEFT Crowds gather outside Parliament in a huge show of unity and solidarity. After last week’s supreme court decision, activists had been worried trans people might become fearful of going out in public in case they were abused. They weren’t afraid in London yesterday. Thousands of trans and nonbinary people thronged Parliament Square, alongside families and supporters waving baby blue, white and pink flags to demonstrate their anger at the judges’ ruling. The numbers seemed to take the organisers and police by surprise. Protesters from a hastily assembled coalition of 24 groups gathered in a ring against the barriers surrounding the grass and began speeches. But after the roads became clogged with people, a woman wearing a “Nobody knows I’m a lesbian” top ran across with her dog and soon the square was full. “It’s one hell of a turnout and there is a really strong sense of unity and solidarity,” said Jamie Strudwick, one of the organisers. “I think it’s impossible to compare it – it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before.”

Unexpected full page in today's Observer on yesterday's protests and it doesn't interview a single GC for 'balance'

Things haven’t been going well these last few as long as I can remember

British Steel nationalisation talks unfair on Wales, says Plaid Plaid renews calls for Tata takeover as the Chancellor puts all options on table for British Steel.

"If it's good enough for Scunthorpe, why wasn't it good enough for Port Talbot?"

Labour failed to fight for Welsh steel jobs, says Luke Fletcher MS

Thembo @thembo.bsky.social • 1h You find it humorous to embarrass yourself and then pretend it was all a master plan? jdfirehorse.bsky.social @jdfirehorse.bsk... • 30m You would need to grasp first off that l'm so superior intellectually that this is drunken play for me, certainly not embarrassment. I do however GENUINELY enjoy seeing what the other side thinks and GENUINELY interacting intellectually although many are hateful.
