I knew he wouldn't be able to let that lie. He's pathetic.

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥

Can everyone please stop excusing the US president by saying that he has dementia.

He's always been like this. It's not dementia. He's a deluded, arrogant, nepo baby, chock full of Dunning Kruger degrees of self-belief and deep rooted stupidity and rich and influential enough to get away with it

If you think Benjamin Netanyahu wouldn’t prioritise naked self-interest over the security of the entire world, you really haven’t been paying attention.

Daily Mail front page regurgitating Badenoch’s claim that appointing Mandelson USA ambassador makes Starmer ‘unfit to govern’.

And the co-host of Peter Mandelson’s drinks reception before last year’s White House Correspondents Dinner was…

Free speech is alive and well in Dubai, providing you tweet what you're told. 😂

No, we should send him. Trump will have changed his tune by then and it will be exquisite watching the usual shills losing their heads.

Screen shot from Paul Embery’s X account: Respect to this police officer. Confronted by radicals demanding the arrest of a Christian preacher on the grounds that Whitechapel "is a Muslim area" she was calm and professional and gave them short shrift. Let's see more of this from the police. Has a video of a woman police officer talking to a group of Muslim men

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too!

The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression.

Nobody chooses to get born into monarchy, and for many royals it's miserable. A true gilded cage. Over and above the overwhelming case for a republic on democratic and constitutional grounds, there's that

Andrew, however, is the very worst product of the system. Grasping, entitled, nasty, stupid.

Mandelson’s Fifth Column The British government’s business department exists to undermine democracy.

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.”
This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵

He's stupid. Properly stupid. Power, entitlement and wealth have blinkered people to it.

Has the UK ever had any influence over the USA?

Screen shot from the show Andor. Someone says to Mon Mothma “They [meaning the Empire] don’t even bother to lie badly anymore.” Mon replies “I suppose that’s the final humiliation.”

This one is resonating today. #Andor

I was looking at #PureCremation plans earlier this week. 🤦

Wholesale UK Electricity is 35% cheaper than the same period in 2024, Gas is 28% cheaper.

What about YOUR bills?

On a purely factual point, Trevor Phillips’s column in the Times misrepresents our reporting in casting doubts on claims that there were more boys called Patel than Smith at Dulwich in 1980 (we did not report 1976 as the year it occurred). 1980 roll shows 13 Patels and 12 Smiths.

Trevor is another useful idiot.

Farage had to come out hiding early because Tice tried to defend him earlier & libelled the target of Farage’s vicious anti-semitism. Rarely have two people deserved each other more.

The magic money sword: Why money works like honours YouTube video by Richard J Murphy

Most people in the UK still believe in the power of royalty. And we accept that a knighthood is created from nothing with a tap of the King’s sword. Yet many refuse to accept that the government creates money in exactly the same way: by tapping a few keys on a keyboard. youtu.be/Nt-_qzKRI2Y?...

I wonder if she believes the same about the state pension for the wealthy.

Sad twats. How wank is your life to be doing this.

Thatcher sold BP to her mates for £7.2bn.

It has since made £430bn in profit.

There has never been a more bent deal.

It's incredible that people think living in a hotel with none of the usual amenities available is some sort of luxury.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Tbf, it kept working for the Tories for over a decade. Mind you, the media never really pushed back on them like they are doing now.

Welcome to the United Kingdom! 🇬🇧

Never before in U.S. History has a President been acknowledged by another country in this unique way! 🇺🇸

At Windsor Castle, in London & all across the land, people are United! ✊

They all want to see the #EPSTEIN_PedoFiles, ASAP! 👀

There are people who used to take this guy seriously. 🤦

How are you so easily manipulated?

Clearly not.

🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.
