Timeline cleanse: I just got on a bus. An elderly woman was trying to pay but her card didn’t work. She was standing flustered by the driver. A boy, maybe 12 or 13 years old, who was queuing to get on said to the bus driver, “sir can I pay for her?” and then went ahead and paid for her
Telegraph newspaper editorial on Mandelson's appointment in December 2024 versus editorial today
😁
Stunning 🤩
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.

Beautiful!
Not enough people are talking about this.
Hungary’s incoming PM has said that Viktor Orbán used Hungarian government funds to help finance CPAC, the flagship networking event for GOP candidates, members of Congress, and conservative media in this country.
Reform's James Bembridge is collecting rotters like a 12-year-old trying to complete a Panini sticker album

Very serious point here — media vastly overreport what Trump says rather than clarifying for the reader the actual strategic situation.
The bluebells!
Alex Branham X bio: National Rebirth Party Traditionalist Christian Stafford Branch Leader Family Values Remigration Free Speech DMs open
Does everyone remember Alex Bramham? The guy who was kicked out of a pride march cos he showed up in an LGB alliance t-shirt?
Transphobes in the press made a big deal about it at the time, about how it showed how intolerant the left is etc...
He's now a branch leader of the fascist NRP
Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020.
She missed these trials by a few months.
One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here.
I feel such a hole inside.
In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.
New euphemism for "pure, unadulterated horseshit" just dropped
Can’t believe the stories emerging about Kash Patel. He seems so sane & stable. It’s as if Robert Kennedy turned out to be as mad as a goose or Pete Hegseth a brain dead oik. Unthinkable!
Trevor Phillips said on Sky News this morning that "everybody in the country who could read a newspaper" knew in advance of the Mandelson appointment that he was problematic
is this the same Phillips who interviewed Mandelson on October 08 2023 and didn't ask any questions about Epstein friendship?
When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.
Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform
"It can't get worse" is what put Trump in power
Braverman - twice Conservative Home Secretary - in a period that saw record migration figures.
They really do think people are dumb.
Wrong on every level but I think the whole concept of “stolen” music is untenable if you’re being consistent
WHY ISN'T ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THE REAL NEWS STORIES!!!
Me too, critical thinking should be everyone’s default.
As for Trump, he’s a rambling mess of insecurities and cruelty. Trying to convince the world (and himself) that he has the gravitas, compassion, and intelligence needed, when all the world can see he has none. I don’t believe a word he says 😳😱
I think they know that a percentage of people will just accept the lies without checking, and another percentage just want their own prejudices confirmed regardless of the facts. And so they continue with blatant lies. It’s disgraceful, but I don’t think they’re going to stop. 😡
A Tory lying you say? Well there’s a first time for everything.
*gives you a hard stare Paddington-style*

“Of course in the old days Bluesky was only on for three hours a day. We used to get dressed up in our Sunday best to log on to it. Then when it shut down again we’d all stand up and sing the national anthem”

Today, the UK and the EU signed the legal text in Brussels today to formally bring the UK into Erasmus+ in 2027.
This marks a monumental milestone for young people across the UK, whom, from 2027 onwards, can experience transformative opportunities with Eramus+.
My aunt just referred to The Chippendales as “The Chipmunks” 🐿️ and now that is the only name I can ever call them 😆
Conspiracy theories claiming Covid-19 was a “staged event” are an insult to all who lost loved ones and a threat to public health.
Reform must remove David Booth as a candidate and clearly disown these dangerous lies.

If one of my party's recent prime ministers had redecorated the Number 10 flat in a way that ended up involving TWO separate inquiries and a Wikipedia page, I would simply not have put out a press release confirming that the current prime minister had spent less than the allowance he was given.
