I’m gonna be honest. I really wish people would stop bringing screenshots of dumb Twitter posts over here. The whole reason so many people here left that place is to NOT have to read the stuff. We know it’s dumb. We know it’s rage bait. We don’t need to see it here.
“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves”
It’s so obvious, it hurts.

Why put a a bit of the Iliad inside a mummy instead of a magical text? My guess—illiterate embalmer who didn’t know what the text was or negligent embalmer who told his clients it WAS a magical text www.independent.co.uk/news/science...
BBC News December 2024:
‘Farage has meanwhile said that he "might disagree with Mandelson on his politics, but he's a very intelligent man" and would be good choice for ambassador.’
I don’t like the narrative that Trump’s suddenly got worse or become insane. That will allow all those who enabled him up to now to get away with it and carry on his project once he’s gone. He crossed the line of what should have been acceptable a very long time ago. And they were fine with it.

Original post
Trump aligns himself with Victor Orban. Let that sink in.Everything Orban stands for aligns with Putin and is anti Democracy. How can any American still be in support of Trump. His approval rating should be zero. Make it make sense to me??
The Press knew. They laughed.
The Tories knew. They didn’t care.
All I see now is hypocrisy.
They made more fuss when Rayner declared an expenses claim for those AirPods
In short Rayner had to resign due to concerted media & political pressure over a single stamp duty mistake. Millionaire Tice bankrolled his party through deliberate, dodgy, tax-avoiding corporate tricks and yet the media pressure is limited to a few outlets.

If old people need to do a second driving test to continue driving in old age there definitely needs to be some better controls on having someone completely senile continue to be allowed to run a country.
I Completely Support This Petition….
Just remembered this story (from 2014?!) when a chatbot posing as a 13 year old Ukrainian boy convinced people it was alive. Was all over the news yet no journalist even mentioned that part of its success was due to the back story that explained its poor level of English www.bbc.com/news/technol...
Lots of the people calling loudest for Starmer to resign have expressed nothing but support for Trump. Funny how political integrity has suddenly become so important to them.
I’m dead.
The Daily Mail poll about whether the UK should re-join the European Union did not go according to plan.
I’ve seen people ask what should Biden have done when Trump came to the White House after the election win. This. Instead of posing beside him grinning like he was having the time of his life he should have done this.
“this wasn’t the defeat of the far right, it was the defeat of Orbán’s kleptocratic, clientelistic, corrupt government”? Then the answer is to make the case that the goal of the far right IS kleptocratic; corrupt government. Which it is. There’s a clear pattern www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
Precisely why it was never worth grovelling to get the deal. The price was complete subservience and as soon as he didn’t get that he was always going to tear it up www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Quite a flex to turn up at the presidential palace, get him to confirm you as prime minister, call him unfit to serve with no moral authority, tell him to resign, and then pose for a picture
AOC: Whether it’s people in the Epstein files still roaming free, or the president, a known rapist, continuing to occupy the White House, all of this has contributed to the normalization and the idea that incidents of harassment shouldn’t matter.
And I think today was an important turning point
At present 77% say yes! On the Daily Mail site. Even if it is being flooded by non-DM readers that speaks volumes.
If the DM and the rightwing social media channels that will be pushing it can’t manage to swing a majority for “no” there can’t be much appetite for staying out of the EU can there?
The Daily Mail is running a poll on whether we should rejoin the EU!

We're all paying for #Trumpipumpipiddlipoo's private war, as prices soar once again. It is sick to suggest we should send the king to Washington to boost his already overweening vanity.
James Bembridge on X: Hate is too weak a word for what I feel towards the NHS. I'd tear it down and salt the earth upon which it stood.
Lovely people, these Reform UK candidates for the upcoming election, and great to know they're on our side.
I find it so absurd when Reform fanatics say Nigel Farage wasn’t responsible for Brexit. Wasn’t his party then called the Brexit Party? Great Britain is poorer because of him 🇬🇧🏴🫖☕️
LibDem leader Sir Ed Davey says that “Donald Trump is no leader of the free world. He’s a dangerous and corrupt gangster.” He asks that King Charles refrain from visiting Trump in Washington.
“Brexit betrayal” - oh for god’s sake..
Every day, we’re paying to be poorer. We’re paying to be second class citizens on our own continent. We’re paying to queue. We’re paying for more red tape. We’re paying to be less secure and less trusted.
Brexit IS the betrayal. And so is defending it.
