FOR THE LOVE OF GOD…

Can we STOP with this ‘special relationship’ BS

And also…can we wake up to the treachery of our right wing press?!

Morrissey cancelled ??

G7 nations to hold emergency meeting on oil as stock markets sink Chancellor Rachel Reeves will join talks amid reports that oil reserves could be released to lower prices.

Once again, America, thanks for electing an absolute dickwad as your President. Impeach him before it's too late.

Screenshot of an X post by “No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen” claiming Costco is demanding that Trump reimburse them for tariffs so they can refund customers. Below are two images side by side: the Costco Wholesale logo and a photo of Donald Trump looking at a phone while reporters hold microphones near him.

This is what all big companies should be doing.

"Living in an alternative reality" - proof, if it were needed, that every time a right-wing headbanger makes an accusation it's really a confession.

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

Today I am taking time to remember the hundreds of thousands of people in Britain who lost their lives in the pandemic, and to pay tribute to all those in the NHS and public health fields who worked tirelessly to manage the disease and save lives. #CovidDayofReflection

Three people smiling at the camera in a primary school

Loved visiting Edith Neville Primary School!

Almost a third of Londoners consider the city to be an unsuitable place to raise children.

We need steps taken towards making our cities child friendly & tackling affordability.

Somebody, please ask all these Trump-fluffing British politicians exactly what their policy will be regarding the Iranian refugee crisis they are so desperate to create.

To make it worse, he's surrounded himself with people who are too scared, or sycophantic, to tell him he's wrong.
Until the Republican Party are prepared to impeach him America's decline will continue rapidly.

During his first Presidency Trump had people around him to reign in his worst instincts. Now he's surrounded with sycophants and yes men who told him starting a war in Iran was a great idea.
Now he's got past the four day period he thought it would all be done by he's blaming everyone but himself

It’s Trump’s successors I wonder about. Even those with good intentions are going to spend decades trying to get back all that burned trust.

I'm glad Starmer decided against following an unhinged lunatic and his bunch of Christo fascist morons into an illegal war.

Nice one Starmer.

We don't want a special relationship with a country run by a dickhead. So probably for the best.
There has to be a line drawn in every relationship and this is it.
If we'd had a 'special relationship' with Germany in the 1930s we wouldn't have invaded Poland with them would we?

On behalf of the UK government I would like to quote The Big Lebowski at this point:

Shut the fuck up Donnie! You're out of your element!

Greens would win a majority on 9 councils 👀

I know that generally it's best to avoid the language of the old left but, in this case, the best word to describe Tim Shipman and Andrew Neil genuinely is 'lickspittle'

The idea that the UK would join the US on this is frankly ridiculous. History, I suspect, will prove Starmer correct and these dipsticks wrong.

Stunning victory in Stroud last night.

Look at that majority! 💚😍

Huge congratulations to @helenelliott-boult.bsky.social and the entire team!

Whitewashed Sepulchres was the phrase he used I think

How's he even going to do this? The trade agreement is with the EU. If he refuses to let in things shipped from Spain companies can just ship stuff they want to sell to Portugal by road. What's he planning to do exactly - refuse to accept castanets?
Trump is a complete dipstick.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

It won't happen, obviously, but I'd really love to see Starmer just tell Trump to shut the fuck up.

The point of GB News is not to make money. It's propaganda to convince ordinary people to vote against their own interests so the wealthy and powerful can continue bleeding the country dry. It won't stop because it's losing money because the people it benefits see it as a worthwhile expense.

America elected a dickhead as president. Now we're all going to suffer until the Republican Party remove MAGA from among their ranks.

You just know she's gonna keep getting things done. 💚😍

Why the f**k haven't the Republican Party got on with impeaching him? They seriously think this douchebag of a President isn't harming the country with this stupidness?
What do they think the rest of the world makes of all of this? We're not impressed at all.

Not gonna lie - I love this! Go Hannah! You're a total star 😁

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,
Zack Polanski
