If only Charlie Kirk was alive to see this.

can't believe the BBC edited Donald Trump's posts to make it seem like he threatened violence against members of Congress

Trump just outright calling for Democrats to be executed now. (His previous post references a news story in which Democratic veterans in Congress urged soldiers to refuse unlawful orders, as their oath is to uphold the constitution).

VERY funny that Labour are being pointlessly cruel and haemorrhaging support from their base and yet none of what they're offering is ever going to be enough for the people whose approval they're seeking, WHO could have predicted it

This is the lady who wrote Michelle Obama's "When they go low, we go high" speech

Live and let live while minding your damn business is a real struggle for the wicked.

Its really the fact that they feel comfortable saying "I wish people didnt apply the lessons they learned from Holocaust history onto the undesirables" in public that blows my mind.

if you're wondering why it's today it's because men were invented on november 19, 1974

On Thurs 20th, Lady Hallett publishes her module 2 report.

We wait with interest to see how it covers the deception wrought upon HCWs that: a) Covid is droplet/fomite, but not airborne b) Flimsy Fluid Resistant Surgical Masks are 'PPE' and will keep you safe.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

Days before reversing his stance on releasing the Epstein files, President Donald Trump called a reporter "piggy" after she asked about his name being raised in emails sent by convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

A post by Zarah Sultana of 'Your Party', that uses a generated image with the words 'Your Party, County Durham Launch', surrounded by nine simple, flat images of images in silhouette with single colour backgrounds, presumably intended to represent Durham, four of which are a man with a weirdly long pick-axe, one is a building, two are gantries of some kind – for a coal mine? – and one is some kind of floating lamp. I will expand on this in the thread.

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.

Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/

The Dumb Truth at the Heart of the Epstein Scandal When QAnon meets Veep

The Epstein emails are a “skeleton key” for understanding a culture “in which the wealthy and powerful appear not as master operators but as bumbling sycophants, eager to cozy up to influence no matter how villainous or depraved,” @cwarzel.bsky.social argues.

Treat yourself to some dumplings 🥟 🤘🏻

Emails highlight Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon relationship New documents show the pair discussing travel arrangements and UK politics in messages from 2018.

Farage, Boris Johnson & Rees-Mogg apparently plotting assaults on UK democracy with Bannon, who was reporting back to Epstein. Nothing to see here, newspaper folk…

🎥 Political editor @jamesrball.com breaks down The New World's exclusive that Michael Prescott - author of the dossier into the BBC - himself doctored Trump quotes in the report. It's an extraordinary revelation that calls into question Prescott’s journalistic judgement

Two stories you may not have seen this week that would be a big deal in a normal country:

1) The ‘dossier’ detailing the BBC’s editing of the Trump speech literally edited Trump’s speech.

2) The NBER calculated that Brexit’s longer term damage to GDP was greater than originally forecast.

The shaggy defence in action.

As a non-Falcons fan (Bengals 🫣), this is really interesting to read. So many different ways to screw up. Consistent, good decision making is really rare in the NFL 🤔

I despair of Labour. Can we not just have a sensible budget, delivered on the day, that apologises for hard choices and then just gets on with giving us something that will give us some hope? All this briefing and speculation makes them look like clowns.

Unless someone in the Treasury reassures the markets pretty soon, there’s every chance the UK will need to raise *more* tax for less in return. Total clusterfuck in the making, this.

Having a budget fall apart more than a week before it’s actually be delivered might be a new record.

Thanks to months of pitch rolling, the Labour government has now effectively told anyone paying attention that income tax rises are necessary, but they’re not going to do them because they’re politically weak. Let’s see how that plays!

The Pro-Trump Bias of the 'Neutral' Sources in the Leaked BBC 'Prescott Dossier' Byline Times’ analysis of key sources in the memo about the BBC’s alleged ‘progressive bias’ shows it relied on highly partisan right-wing, Trump-aligned organisations

'The BBC’s error was editorial, not substantive: an over-zealous cut that removed his fleeting (and cursory) call for calm (he used the term “peacefully” once and “fight” twenty times) while leaving the established facts intact.'
Nafeez Ahmed, via @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Proper journalism and facts (remember them?) about the far-right infiltration of the BBC.

Byline Times is the only news source I "trust".

"What is certain, and felt instinctively by almost everybody, is that things cannot go on in their present way" – The Times, May 1975

“It is difficult to imagine a previous period when such an all-pervasive hopelessness was exhibited at all levels of British life” – Professor Stephen Haseler, 1975

The government’s plan to deliver change without ever actually change anything is somehow not working, to their apparent shock.

This is very interesting and well written. We are in perilous territory 🤔👇🏻
