Priceless post from the official White House social media
“Reform plagued by vetting issues”
Candidates found to have “grotesque” views.
Come on. It’s not the vetting, is it.
It’s the party. Whatever they do, they’ll always attract the racists, homophobes, misogynists and haters. Because that’s Farage. That’s Reform.

Who does this description of Kaiser Wilhelm II remind you of? (Written by Christopher Clark in 2015).
It’s not that these people still exist. That’s just biology. It’s that they are still being paid to shit in their own hands & start clapping.
The president of the United States is bragging about being able to write his own signature.
Nigel Farage: People tell me they've always voted Labour, but not any more The Reform UK leader is expecting a political earthquake' in the local elections next month — but insists the era of Tory defections is over Nigel Farage refused to rule out a confidence and supply deal with the Conservative Party if Reform fails to secure a majority at the next general election Steven Swinford, Political Editor Friday April 17 2026, 10.15pm, The Times
The Times seems to be backing their man in the run up to the local elections. Chummy, unchallenging ‘interview’ that reads much more like a Farage advert.
Free passes handed out on his racism, misogyny, corruption, Trumpism, Orbanism, useless councils, dire candidates, failed Brexit…
Really shabby.
On any given day, you might as well roll a die to predict whether Donald Trump is going to claim total victory; imminent victory; a negotiated ceasefire; an imminent ceasefire; new attacks; crucial negotiations or imminent crucial negotiations. The only certainty is that he’ll be lying.

It's always best to announce the "Top Secret Military Installations" you are wanting to build.

Fucking hell, though.
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.
Immigration enriches our society and benefits our economy. Changing settlement rules will have financial consequences for us all - this video explains why and how. If truth matters to you when it comes to immigration pass it on.

People who are saying the US and Israel are being surgical in their air strikes against Iran are missing one major fact. The US and Israel have killed many more Iranian civilians in airstrikes since Feb than Ukrainian civilians killed by Russian airstrikes in all of 2025.
It's not as high profile as all the other failings of the last government, but the total collapse of the court system thanks to Chris Grayling is one of the most damning.
It's so funny to me that right-wingers love to pretend to love the Middle Ages and the Crusades and all that and then complain that the Pope shouldn't get involved in politics.
Trump posting an AI photo of himself as the Pope
And, for the record, this was also very obviously Trump depicting himself as a doctor. About to do a prostate exam.
Just from our 2016 and Brexit, it's pretty clear that Putin has been trying to reshape world politics to his advantage. May this truth become universally known and universally acknowledged, and may people universally say "retreat, you beast."
Iran president: 'His Holiness Pope Louis XIV, I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.'

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.
Do these sound like the words of someone with even a faint hint of contact with reality?

But only in one person’s unhinged mind…
Zelensky happy
Trump sad
Putin sad
I’m just so glad about how happy he’ll be and how sad they’ll be tonight.
If Hungary can free itself from the rule of a corrupt Russian agent, the USA can too.
J.D. Vance as Death going down a series of doors marked Pope Francis, Iran negotiations, Viktor Orban’s re-election and U.S. midterms.
Congratulations Hungary.
You sent Orban, Putin and Trump the message they needed to hear. And you made even more of a fool of JD Vance than he made of himself. Top work.
Thank you.
