Once, just once, I would like to hear a politician say "Oh do fuck off" to a dumbass question from a right wing "journalist" about something like climate change or taxing tbe mega wealthy!

I wont be shedding any tears over "journalist" Rod Liddle's passing, that's for sure.

If this doesnt scare the living sh1t out of you youre either very wealthy or clueless! youtu.be/faBv-imG0Gw?...

Is this Gary Stevenson's last EVER interview?

"There are numerous accounts of journalists in Northern Ireland facing intimidation from masked men while covering anti-immigration riots, disclosed to the UK’s National Union of Journalists" www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

In a delightful twist of irony isn't it great how the humble lettuce has become synonymous with failed, shitty leadership both sides of the Pond? 🥬

Just a reminder that the world should have, but didnt, listen to the scientists. This article if from 18 years ago. www.theguardian.com/theguardian/...

James Lovelock: 'Enjoy life while you can: in 20 years global warming will hit the fan'

The climate science maverick believes catastrophe is inevitable, carbon offsetting is a joke and ethical living a scam. So what would he do, asks Decca Aitkenhead

£24 billion a year is not enough

I was asked yesterday what neoliberalism is. This is the answer:

‘No matter how bad, it is always fixable’: how Bea Elton cleans up the houses – and lives – of desperate people

‘No matter how bad, it is always fixable’: how Bea Elton cleans up the houses – and lives – of desperate people

She has built an unlikely career in mould, maggots and excrement, cleaning for those who most need it. It can take months building trust with a stranger, before she and her boyfriend go in and transform everything

Oh god 🤦‍♀️we've got days of "The winner of the England vs Argentina match gets the Falklands" shite! No, the Falklanders get the Falklands!

Farage is an international laughing stock! 😂

"On August 6th, Farage is going to have to actively prove to voters that he's better than a garage bin" US news are now making fun of Nigel Farage vs Count Binface in Clacton

Very much looking forward to the blue tents being parked on Farages front lawn for weeks on end!

The National Crime Agency have been "unable to identify the original source" of a £1m donation to a Reform fundraising vehicle. The NCA is now "seeking help from a foreign partner" in order to identify it www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Im not sure I'll make it through today without a shopping run for popcorn and Tena! 😆😂😭

Otto English@ottoenglish.bsky.social · 4w ago

I see attention seeking Lozza Fox has thrown the chips on his shoulder into the Clacton ring

Today I shall mostly be royally feasting on Farage's little stunt backfireing, putting him against no one serious in contending his own seat of Clacton, except Count Binface! Do what you were born to do Count Binface and take out the Fash-trash!

Hit the nail firmly on the head there! My bet its attention seeking, with a heavy amount of deflection or hes just going to talk shite about immigration.

Jonathan Pie@jonathanpienews.bsky.social · 4w ago

He's either: a) Not going anywhere and is just doing this for attention. b) Using the scrutiny of his finances as an excuse to retire, move to Dubai, and enjoy his millions in peace. Vote now.

I hate football, but I hate Trump even more! Well done to the Belgium team for putting the Orange baboon in his place! 🇧🇪 😆

Bet the guy down the road who always supports ABE and had his Mexico flag up yesterday is crying into his tea this morning 😆 That was a tough win England, at altitude in front of the home nation crowd. Well done! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Just a reminder that to be an independant nation free from the yoke of a tryannanical leader all you need to do is to gather together & declare "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, "etc..

I'm glad I'm not American!

'Affordable' housing that nobody can afford, a 'national living wage' that nobody can live on and 'regulators' powerless to stop privatised companies doing whatever they damn well like. The English language isn't coming out of this very well.

10 years ago today the people of the United Kingdom decided to collectively show the world how truely stupid they are! There are people I havent spoken to in a decade and until they fully apologise for wrecking my country I wont!

Neoliberalism eats another of its children!

Both the government and the Court of Appeal now treat protesters as terrorists and terrorists as protesters. It's hard to accept that a "Labour" government is imposing rightwing authoritarianism on the UK, but please read this column to see what's happening.+🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Belfast riots, Palestine Action protests. What is terrorism now – and why the hypocrisy? | George Monbiot

The right is obsessed with ‘two-tier policing’. This is indeed a two-tier government – but the real victims are progressives, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Appallingly callous and stupid people! The fact that they say they would preferentially choose a serial peodophile says all you need to know about Reform supporters puts potentially puts their leader Farage's admiration for Trump in a new light.

Billionaires pay about half as much in taxes as everyone else. Why? Better lobbyists. But history shows we can win this fight. Same arguments were made against income tax, democracy still prevailed. It can again. Excited to team up with @gabrielzucman.bsky.social to make sure it does.
