It's Swarbrick so no surprise there.

In the last couple of weeks good economic data has been quietly announced. In my view it’s because any minute now the Iran war will impact and destroy all the good work achieved by Labour. The media don’t want you knowing all the good stuff

A lot of people spent days going "OMG OMG OMG popcorn at the ready SiR kEiTh obvs lying; Olly Robbins has the receipts". Now they're like "too clever to get caught, they did it with VIBEZ."

From "Starmer is really bad at politics" straight to "Starmer is Machiavelli reincarnated" - like every week.

Really,Thought Maybe The Light Bulb Wasn't Invented Yet.........🤔

Let the grift begin.

A union that could be much stronger – I believe this would be a union of such countries as Norway, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and Türkiye. These are four countries that the European Union is lacking... I know that the United Kingdom has left the European Union... But I still believe that these four countries would make the EU the strongest union in the world, with the best security in the world. We are not seeking an alternative. I simply believe that these four countries are very strong and would make the European Union stronger. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine

The message from Volodymyr Zelenskyy is clear: the European Union is lacking the UK.

Britain's future is European. So is Ukraine's. 🇬🇧🤝🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦

Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek) * ... @magyarpeterMP Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then - on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office.

Hungary’s Péter Magyar issues an ultimatum.

But the podcasts …who will fill their podcasts? 🤢never mind the rest of us hoping for better and dreading Reform and odious Farage dividing our lovely communities

The Fraud's Prayer:
Our Father, who art in the White House,
hallowed be thy combover;
thy blingdom come;
thy will be dumb;
In Washington as you are in Florida.
Give us this day our daily round of golf.
And forgive us our insider trading,
as we refuse to forgive those who investigate against us...

I agree.
It's outrageous.
Rather than the job of informing the public of provable facts, the endless febrile drivel these political journos serve up is detrimental to the national interest. They're complicit, and should be ashamed.

The media circus around the Mandelson vetting scandal has gone on long enough. It’s a bureaucratic blame game that has absolutely zero impact on energy bills or the price of the weekly shop. Can we stop the Westminster bubble distractions and get back to the actual problems facing this country?

💥Days after Viktor Orbán lost reelection, Hungary's data protection authority is investigating Webloc — an Israeli tool that harvests mobile ad data for mass surveillance, likely violating GDPR. We exposed its use by Hungary on @vsquare.bsky.social with @citizenlab.ca: vsquare.org/goulash-with...

YES! Shout it from the rooftops: REFUK LTD WILL PRIVATISE THE NHS! YOU *WILL* PAY FOR MEDICAL TREATMENTS YOU CURRENTLY RECEIVE 'FREE' (ie paid for by our taxes).

The Tariff Boomerang Trump’s illegal trade experiment, now forced to offer refunds.

The U.S. government is preparing to hand back more than $166 billion to American businesses after the Supreme Court ruled those tariffs were illegal to begin with.

Ohhh I am so calling them the Liquor Cabinet from now on. Priceless.

Veteran journalist & author Alan Friedman levels historic charges against President Donald Trump, declaring he'll be remembered as “the 1st US president to have been a traitor to his nation.” We can add domestic damage, including cutting health care & damaging our education system.

This is a war based on lies

@FT: "Donald Trump’s labour secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned, the White House confirmed on Monday"
Great! She is the third woman cabinet secretary that Trump fires for misconduct.
Surely well deserved.
Now go for the men!
Hegseth, Patel & Kennedy!

Swinney turns down White House invite. Good 👍.

CNN put together a montage of Trump saying as far back as March 9 that his war against Iran "is going to be finished pretty quickly," then him saying that same thing over and over for the past six weeks

Karoline Leavitt @PressSec Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump is Accelerating Medical Treatments for Serious Mental Illness

we've noticed and i'm glad he's getting help

In the Kremlin, at least until September, when parliamentary elections are scheduled, officials are trying to avoid the issue of open mobilization. To prevent public discontent, the authorities have established a multi-layered system of covert recruitment.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

(h/t @iainsol.bsky.social)

They were happy to ride Starmer's coattails to get elected.

Her constituents? Those same constituents who voted her into office under a Labour banner which she later dumped without a by-election.

Worth a few minutes of your time to watch these videos of the PM giving the facts and the timeline of events around Mandelson.

Don't listen to cherry picked parts with added opinions from comentators.

Listen to the PM himself.

Sorry about this but the MSM seem to be having a collective meltdown and can’t bring you any news so I’m going to have to bring you this little nugget because they’re incapable.

No, not really 😊

Maybe in their Bank Accounts. Anyway how's the markets today?
