12 min - Nigel Farage's interview in which he didn't have answers to many of the questions asked by Laura Kuenssberg

7 mins - Ed Davey's interview in which he wanted to answer questions from Laura Kuenssberg but they conveniently ran out of time

The backing musicians are superb.

Musk and Trump are a great example of why men are too emotional to lead.

There have been many implausible stories in #TheArchers over the years, but Alice and Chris getting a non-urgent GP appointment within 24 hours has to be up there in the top ten

Ikr? 🤷‍♀️🙄💥

You have beautiful skin - no prizes for guessing why! If the craving is hurting, look in the mirror and see how gorgeous your sobriety is x

Congratulations @safc.com I hope you have a great season in 25/26. COYR!

The U.K. fishing industry - weaponised & then betrayed & then abandoned, by Johnson, Farage & the rest of them - is better off under Starmer’s deal than it was under Johnson’s. That’s not an opinion. It’s counting. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.

Tom Harwood @tomhfh Of course two EU Presidents get to speak for about an hour before the PM gets a word in. 12:48 PM · May 19, 2025 · 4,256 Views

"For about an hour" was, in fact, for seven-and-a-half minutes each, with the UK PM getting the last word, then leading a Q&A session with media. But this is such an excellent example of the mendacious, awful, biased reporting that has been the hallmark of the entire Brexit debate for a decade. ~AA

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

If you say you love freedom but you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom. It’s privilege.

So now #Trump is both Pope and Sith Lord, when can we expect Tzar?

Shame, because I think she'd be great in US politics and would know how to run a good campaign.

Brexit led to 1,500 deaths a year as EU nurses left UK, study finds Quality of care dropped as staff were replaced with less experienced nurses, researchers at the University of Surrey say

“This happens today: if the investments in the banks fall slightly… a tragedy… what can be done? But if people die of hunger, if they have nothing eat, if they have poor health, it does not matter! This is our crisis today!”

-Pope Francis

Pope Francis: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves, or who come from distant lands, bringing unfamiliar customs, ways of life and ideas! For all of us are children of God!"

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

when asked by an interviewer, how he “imagines hell,” Pope Francis replied:

“what I am going to say is not a dogma of faith but my own personal view: I like to think of hell as empty; I hope it is.”

may we all channel this kind of compassion, forgiveness, & grace. RIP.

What would Donald Trump have to do to be removed from power?

Or can he do anything?

Classic arse about face.

The White House. The actual White House.

This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

Fabulous Belfast, where everything I drank was a tonal delight.

Very well said.

Proud to be a Kia owner 👍

We were there last night too - not impressed if I'm honest.
