Well there’s 2 ex-PMs that should be nowhere near the levers of power ever again.

I’ve only “tweeted” twice in the last year, both times critical of Musk’s lies about the UK.

Brrr…

🇬🇧 TikTok video by Keir Starmer

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Just when you think Starmer is getting it right avoiding the gung ho approach of the USA administration … www.tiktok.com/@keirstarmer...

Has Kemi been watching Dr Strangelove, but missed the point completely?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social 19/50. Should they be paid the same? No. Should they receive the same protection from wages too low to live on? Yes.

I “liked” this, but that isn’t me declaring he was great, although a long time ago he may have been. [ yes, I know you didn’t mean that ]

Spare a thought for all the trans adults that remember the difficulties of their own school lives, now being told that today the state is issuing “guidelines” that’ll make things even worse for today’s young folk.

Even the dog doesn't want to be in this pic

Trump rejoicing at the opening of coal fuelled power stations purely to power LLM. Now ranting about “windmills” being a sign of a failing state.

He's trotted out the "Europe is unrecognisable" myth which he reserves for his deluded support base that will never go to Europe and the guys at GB News who gleefully share it as a banner ... from their gleaming studio in bustling, thriving Central London

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

Well, things are moving fast, some controls in the UK on the way at least. Anything goes in the USA though it seems… if the richest can make more money from it.

We need a Tony Christie biopic.

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

See for yourself.

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.

It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

Transphobes… alarmist about trans women changing what it is to be a woman… meanwhile men use AI to take control of the female form, removing women completely from the creation of images &videos of “women”. Next… virtual girlfriends. It’s not trans people removing women from what it is to be a woman.

“Transphobics… bigots in disguise” 🎵

@mrjamesob.bsky.social This debate is depressing. Living within your means does not make you rich. “Choosing” to not heat your home, not eat out, not go on holiday does not make you rich. High income or high wealth makes you rich.

UK news completely obsessed with a handful of asylum seekers. No sense of proportion at all.

Loving you, is easy ‘ cos you’re beautiful…

I can’t think about AI without the worrying words “ubiquity” and “opaqueness” coming up. Put the two together are we’re heading somewhere very dangerous (unless you own and control the AI).

We remember the defections to UKIP. Same old same old.

Republicans complained about a frail senile president… and then gave the USA (and the world) exactly that… but one with the desire to fire off random damage at will.

in the last year this is the onion headline i most often think about

Being full of shit doesn’t damage Trump in the eyes of his supporters. Will the weakness he has shown before Putin do so?

The only people who have spoiled the nature of this area were the mindless thugs who came to our homes last evening and created chaos.

I’ve never been scared by the asylum seekers. I’m terrified that the angry mob will return.

So, how do I get *my* country back from them? I’ve genuinely no idea

Love the new Paris stage.

Already missing the ITV4 coverage, with a week to go.
