Labour, Geordie exile, X-exile - and so glad to be here.
Because Donald Trump is a narcissist, and reality does not depend on such trivial things as facts, but himself. He literally believes he is the final arbiter of truth. And people still support this malignant tumor of a human.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 13h agoIt's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
“Trump..really doesn’t understand that he doesn’t get to make that true by decree.” Like Hitler in 1945.

Oxford Clarion@oxfordclarion.bsky.social · yesterdayLeaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.
You choose: A) Republicans funding Trump's deadly Forever War B) Democrats fighting for healthcare to keep Americans alive You can't have both #BlueWaveIn90Days
“The Reflecting Pool mess is different from other Trump obsessions because it reveals just how immune to evidence and logic his beliefs have become, even when a trusted lieutenant wheels an entire box of supporting evidence into the Oval Office.”
The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · 12h agoTrump’s outburst over the Reflecting Pool is a sign of dangerous dysfunction in the Oval Office, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/OMivBxpl

The war in Iran has shown that Trump’s inability to perceive reality has become truly dangerous. Iran is a disaster, but Trump’s irrationality could create other, even more perilous situations. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

“Reform repaid Tice loan on same day £1mn donated by mother of Farage aide Cottrell” But where did the Cottrells get the money from? ReFUK & Cottrells unwilling to come clean on that one. Only reason I can think of is that it would be incriminating #ReFUKCorruption archive.ph/2026.08.05-1...

Idiots out in force already on Facebook and X banging on about "migrants" and how Sadiq Khan's London "isn't safe"... even as they entirely ignore the nature of this very worrying incident
The majority of local councils budgets and your Council Tax is spent on Adult (Pensioners) Social Care and Children in Care These are both privatised and now cost 2-5x more per person to produce massive profits that go to foreign based billionaires This is why there is no money
1. Trump: Strait of Hormuz will be open tomorrow. Or we’ll hit them like the world has never seen before. We’ll decapitate them. 2. Trump: They’re phoning us begging for a deal. *they aren’t* The Strait will be open very soon. Jarv: Just alternate 1 and 2 for 5 months and that’s Trumps messaging.

The banks pay £5bn a year less tax than in 2022 because of Rishi Sunak's bank tax cut which has never been reversed.
Our North Sea is all but empty, it has a 10-year future – BP knows this as well as anyone. The 'higher value opportunities elsewhere' is an admission of this. BP think it's game over - having had decades of benefit from the Casino Capitalism of global oil and gas market pricing.
The record temperatures, wildfires and drought we have seen in the UK & Europe is climate change in action. There is hope. It has been a record year for renewable energy generation, all new homes will have solar panels from next year. But we must accelerate the transition to clean & green energy.
Reminder that the Tories believe any non-British person who commits more than a minor parking or traffic offence should be automatically deported. They “believe in second chances”, apparently, but only for literal Nazis.

Stop worrying about 2028, if we don't show up and VOTE them out in November, it won't matter.
You have got to be a complete idiot or cynically politically self interested not to know that people like Bonehill-Paine who claim to be combating antisemitism are merely using Jews to attack Muslims.
Mark Wallace@wallaceme.bsky.social · 18h agoConservativeHome has always been a critical friend of the Conservative Party, and a place for all of its wings and views to debate and discuss. So in addition to the above editorial, Bonehill-Paine is also in today’s Comment section making his own case conservativehome.com/2026/08/05/j...

Jesus expressly instructed this “Christian pastor” to feed the hungry. He did not, however, say one thing about LGBTQ people. Honestly, I have jewelry and houseplants that are better Christians than many Christians.
