Wangs on - normally about politics - on telly and on The Trawl podcast. Pics are on insta @jemmaforte
There’s a man on the train, talking to someone on speakerphone. Because obviously the whole carriage care about his arrangements 🙄 And this is why @countbinface.bsky.social should be taken seriously
I am enjoying the fact nothing’s been leaked. Makes a change
It remains hilarious that his cult will still insist, to this day, that Donald Trump is an "expert deal maker."

'the most attacked politician in modern times'
Steve B@stevebasnett.bsky.social · last yr.Jo Cox, assassinated on this day 9 years ago. These powerful and beautiful words delivered by Jo in her maiden speech to the House of Commons have stayed with me and others since: "We have more in common than that which divides us." Thank you, Jo. For everything. xx (more details in ALT text)
Is the establishment everyone on the planet who doesn’t suck up to him?
The bit where he talked about all his financial security was particularly funny. Creaming off the EU and crypto billionaires.
Was this Farage ‘control the narrative’ speech, written by Bannon? It’s all so ludicrous
England won, Farage is on the ropes - things are looking up
Going to do our darndest (is that a word?) to make this a great night out 💕

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23
Still, all the billionaires who don’t give a stuff about climate change, have air con. So that’s nice for them

Strange day. Some of the criticism levelled at Starmer was fair (Gaza) much of it however was a symptom of our billionaire owned right wing press. That said, he never managed to convey what he stood for & took terrible advice at the beginning. But he's worth 1000 Johnsons or Truss' &...
Hearing @jemmaforte.bsky.social say ‘we will get some sensible views a bit later but first here is someone quite pompous saying something a bit mad’ on the latest ep of @thetrawl.bsky.social really makes me wish she presented the news 😂 open.spotify.com/episode/3i3u...

So after spending almost the entire campaign talking about Rupert Lowe and whether or not he would "gift" Makerfield to Labour, most of the British press completely missed the actual story of a massive Andy Burnham win
Britain Elects@britainelects.com · 2mo ago✅ BURNHAM IN Makerfield by-election result: LAB: 54.8% (+9.6) REF: 34.5% (+2.7) RST: 6.8% (+6.8) CON: 2.2% (-8.7) GRN: 0.7% (-3.7) LDEM: 0.4% (-6.4)
Got to love British election declarations. A Prime Minister-in-waiting launching his bid for the leadership of the country from between a man with a bin on his head and a man in a fox costume.
Sarah Pochin is such a fanny. Not a very eloquent observation but utterly true. I mean - is this what it’s come to?
Trying to figure out how the hell much a trillion is with @marina-purkiss.bsky.social
First day of free swimming at Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool goes well
Why is there so much stupid about? Here, Sarah Pochin is asking questions about special forces (a no no in Parliament cos… National security) while, in the States, hydrogen peroxide is being poured into a reflecting pool cos the Emporer of America is displeased by the colour of the water. Bizarre
