Annoying isn’t it? It’d be much easier if he was a wanker 🤣

Doesn’t get much more boring that Mullins mopping up the national again

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

The mad emporer has triggered chaos he cannot control

GB News seems to have become Reform TV—and Ofcom hasn’t stopped it Whether they are charged with keeping our news impartial, our water clean or our elections fair, Britain’s regulators are dozing

Clean information and clean elections are as important as clean water. But are the regulators up to the job? The way GB News has quietly been allowed to become Reform TV should alarm us all app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/72784/...

Oh what does that remind us of..,,????

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll

If (as Andrew Neil says) GB News has become Reform TV then maybe there’s a case for the @ElectoralCommUK to start taking an interest app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/72784/...

Donald Trump’s Self-Own Summit with Vladimir Putin Even the puffery-prone President couldn’t alchemize his non-deal with Russia into Trumpian gold.

Interesting polling from YouGov on who’d make the best PM.

Farage loses to every other major party leader including Davey.

▪️Starmer beats Farage by 44% to 29%
▪️Starmer’s lead over Kemi Badenoch as best Prime Minster is 36% to 25%
▪️Britons prefer Badenoch as Prime Minister to Farage by 29% to 25%

Endless references in media coverage today to the rapid increases in net migration in recent years and often too little explanation as to why: (i) keeping UK HE/social care afloat and (ii) an attempt to deal with post Covid labour shortages/supply chain inflation.

Beginning to think that myself

Wow Rachael Blackmore quits riding!

I’m sympathetic to some policies the Green Party have but it’s this kind of batshittery that holds them back.

Money buys you success. Shock horror!

Haha they’ve been sent off while Irish anthem was being played 🤣

The White House Twitter account’s dishonest & hideous doctoring of a New York Times front page describing Senator Chris Van Hollen’s meeting with a wrongly deported man with no criminal record.

The cruelty is the point. The banal, vicious, performative cruelty. Turns out ‘anti-woke’ just meant anti-decency, anti-humanity & anti-rule of law.

This will appear in a few future history books as the perfect metaphor for current events....

This is a distract the beast news conference from the orange buffoon

I see Trump has been caught by reality

Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later.

Nothing to see here.

@thetwomatts.bsky.social you completely missed Bob Dylan!

Tripoli Flyer as per normal can’t jump

Ed Chamberlain “Huw Edward’s will be making headlines with that ride” 🫣😬

He believes absolutely that tariffs are The Answer, as if they were passed down by God himself. It's his one big idea and now that he's escaped all accountability for everything and he's descending into dementia like his father, there is no talking him out of it. Or anything.

The British public have clearly got a sense that *someone* undeserving has taken all the money, which is true, a class of people have, but it's truly a sign of painfully evil the British spirit is that so many are convinced it's the disabled and people on benefits who have made off with it.

No love lost between Nadia Whitome and Camilla Tominey eh?!
