Extortion is supposed to be a crime.

The more that Reform fills up with Tory rejects, the better.
Fag end politicians for a fag end party.

Well there’s a surprise.

Trying to add a family member to my Spotify premium account and it “can’t find” our shared address.
This might be the prompt I need to move elsewhere.
This digital world is shit far too often.

I’d say UEFA is a little better - God knows that bar is so low it’s hard not to be.
It’s had nothing like FIFA’s level of vote buying corruption over tournament venues, even if only through lack of opportunity.
And its leader hasn’t dreamed up a laughable “peace prize” to win favour.

Gianni Infantino: Fifa president accused of breaking rules after giving Donald Trump peace prize Gianni Infantino is accused of breaking Fifa rules by a campaign group after giving United States President Donald Trump a peace prize.

Infantino’s a disgrace to his office. If FIFA had any integrity it wouldn’t allow him to flagrantly breach the political neutrality it’s supposed to uphold.
Kick him out.

The US is certainly not a true ally while he’s in charge. Can’t be trusted or relied upon.

The first family corruption continues.

Wow -- Russia reportedly plotted last year to plant bombs on US-bound flights (gift link) giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Trump & Farage’s favourite dictator attacks us, plots to attack us, & still it’s not Putin that’s the enemy.

🇬🇧 🇺🇸 WATCH — @mrjamesob.bsky.social: “I’m going to say this slowly… The President of The United States of America has sided with Putin against the United Kingdom. He has put the whole of Europe in the crosshairs.”

How does Trump differentiate between this stance and the unified approach of the EU, which he makes such a show of denigrating?
Where is Musk’s condemnation of this?
The answer is obvious - the comparison is inconvenient to them (& it won’t even have occurred to Trump).

Or a self-serving attempt to avoid upsetting anyone in case of career damage.

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.

It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Doesn’t sound like the Trump we know and lo …… yeah, ok.

Musk promoting a post of the EU flag turning into the Nazi flag

The EU was created in by people who lived through WWII and saw political and economic integration as a means to bringing peace and stability to the continent.

It is being opposed by Putin, Musk and the others who support Neo Nazis in Europe.

A reminder that when Kemi Badenoch hacked Harriet Harman's website it was an offence carrying a sentence of up to five years in prison

When you see what he looks like and hear what he sounds like, health is the last thing that comes to mind.

And that’s before you pay any attention to the ignorant nonsense he’s actually spouting.

Seaham Reform councillor's firm fined over illegal worker Durham councillor Andrew Harrison says the worker was legal and he is appealing against the fine.

Reform UK councillor Andrew Harrison's business was fined £40,000 for hiring an "illegal immigrant."

Almost like these people are shameless, two faced hypocrites isn't it

“The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda.

It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.”

It is deeply unhealthy to have local governments who don't provide many visible/valuable services for most residents (because they lack the resources). Encourages distrust and populism - 'what am I paying my council tax for? The council does nothing for me.'

This is a really important point from @robfordmancs.bsky.social. Local government should be a source of and focus for local pride. It should be doing bold, visible stuff that enhances and reflects community. Instead, currently, it is almost literally reduced to ambulance work.

This is why I’m cautiously optimistic — in the long run.

Yes, but thanks for the lecture.

A war criminal without a war It's just murder.

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

🇺🇸🇺🇦 The Reagan National Defense Survey, released Thursday, found that 64% of Americans favor sending lethal aid to support Kyiv’s government, up 9% points from last year and the highest proportion since February 2022, - NYP
