Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.
Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.
PabloReports: What do you make of Stephen Miller and Tom Homan asking for all this money but then refusing to show up to the hearing today?
Frost: That’s what happens when you have a lapdog as speaker.
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy on Donald Trump's war in Iran:
"We shouldn't sugar coat or normalize this degree of gross, unacceptable incompetence being exercised here. We essentially have a talk show host and a couple real estate developers who are in charge of our war strategy."
Spot on!
Over the years of his unfortunate relevance I have sought in vain to find Nigel Farage defining what he likes about this country - and it’s astonishingly difficult to do – which is weird really because he is without a doubt the most influential and best known English nationalist of our era.
There is no politician - and I mean none - who is better-placed than Ed Miliband to get us through this fossil fuel-driven energy crisis.
No-one in politics understands the energy system better. That’s why the billionaire fossil press hate him

Whoever is in that office for Labour will face the same attacks day-in-day-out until the government is brought down.
It's not about Starmer, it's about Labour and a government that is working for ordinary people, not the billionaires and big business.

The American media have utterly failed in their duty to defend democracy. They will fail again when they turn up to laugh and clap at the Correspondent's Dinner.
Michelle Wolf nailed it 8 years ago:
Trump shuts down the investigation into his own 'assassination' attempt. #MAGA why would he do that? Think hard on that, I'll wait.🤔
Lies Industry UK - Darren Jones: An inquiry is underway into the leaking of confidential information to The Guardian. Tom Whitehead, FCDO Deputy Director of Communications, is the husband of The Guardian political editor Crerar.
A local tattoo artist posted a video on Instagram of him asking two blokes in hi-vis not to put up an England flag on the lamp post outside his shop. Consequence: a flood of bad Google reviews including the predictable “paedo” allegations (“he touched my daughter” etc). Truly the shittiest people.
Or that he owns 4 homes including this one his girlfriend bought him in Clacton, which sits empty 99% of the time - yet blames immigrants for the housing crisis

Little known fact: if nobody will pay £850,000 for your house, it's not worth £850,000.
Wife and husband. The link.
If the media spent just 1% of the time trying to destroy starmer on reporting the Tice scandal, he would be gone by now. Ditto farage. Allowing then to exist by no standard of accountability will ruin the country
Last week we were told either Starmer must have known and was lying or should have known Mandeslson failed vetting and must resign
This week Robbins told us Mandelson didn't fail vetting and that Starmer not only didn't know, but wasn't allowed to know the result, but Starmer must resign anyway
Telegraph newspaper editorial on Mandelson's appointment in December 2024 versus editorial today
He killed over 160 young girls at a school and threatened to end their entire civilization out of respect and admiration
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
Reminds me of listening to Through the Night on LBC many moons ago.
A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".
Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.
Johnson overrode advice about appointing the son of a KGB officer into the Lords.
Nothing from the media. Not a whisper.
Starmer doesn’t override advice
Media storm and a hounding of epic proportions.
Trump and his sons have enriched themselves by over 4 Billion dollars since he came into office
This is by FAR the most corrupt administration ever
It’s very hard not to give up…
The media outlets that we should be able to trust to hold power to account are in the pockets of power. They undermine our democracy every day.
I despair, I really do.
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.

Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
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
Tax Dodge Tice: "If anybody from any other party had been in that situation and tried to dodge paying tax.. if she (Angela Rayner) had any integrity, and moral decency, given her position... she would offer her resignation." #UKPolitics
If Bluesky is good for anything it should be for telling each other about creative stuff made by imaginative humans.
