So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.

Caroline Lucas of the Green Party reckons that Water needs to be Renationalised.

RT if you know it has to be.

If anyone actually thinks the media are going after Keir Starmer and get him to resign, I have a message for you: they are not doing that.

They are going after a Labour Prime Minister and trying to get them to resign.

Completely hilarious

🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄
We now have an entire media who would rather see a Farage govt, leading to the demise of the NHS and an alliance with the far right US Christian Nationalist fuckers than support the govt we elected And its drift towards EU alignment
Putin must be laughing his head off.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.

Testing finds toxic metals where Tesla discharges wastewater The drainage district that commissioned the testing has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the company, which says it is in compliance with all requirements for its state wastewater discharge permit.

I’m shocked. www.texastribune.org/2026/04/21/t...

Why did BBC Breakfast give Reform UK a special graphic? A small detail in a brief report sparks some big questions about what the national broadcaster is doing during the run up to local and national elections.

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

It worries me hugely that Streeting is tipped as one of the possible candidates to replace Starmer, when it eventually comes to that.

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.

Thank you to Colin Marshall on Facebook for sharing this young #FoxOfTheDay , a beauty !

Telegraph newspaper editorial on Mandelson's appointment in December 2024 versus editorial today

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

Crikey! (Strong language, I know, but justified...)

The BBC are back to running a live feed on the old Starmer / Mandelson story.

Where's their live feed on whether Refukker Tice can survive his latest tax 'issue'?

🤔

Words Of Al Jazeera Columnist......

The FBI Director Is MIA Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

No previous American president, in any era, of any party, would have tolerated a drunken, erratic, absent FBI chief

We are 7 weeks into the most egregious stock market manipulations of our lifetime.

Orchestrated by a crooked president and his underlings.

Billions siphoned via false proclamations of ceasefires and peace talks.

With the criminals in charge, every day is a crime spree.

LOL.

This would be an absolutely vile thing to do. We are so much better than this. Please don’t ever vote for Reform!

Beautiful young beech leaves in the bluebell woods today.

This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬

This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”
