"We have a proud tradition of liberty and freedom of speech in this country and we don’t need Trump’s Maga money meddling in our democracy.” @lisasmartmp.bsky.social is right. The UK doesn't need a flailing & failing Trump regime sowing division here too. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

US accused of meddling in British politics with $500,000 grant for ‘public education’ courses

Quick public service announcement. It’s not the PM’s job to arrest and prosecute racists. It’s also not necessary for the PM to tell you that “racists rioting and attempting to hurt innocent asylum seekers is wrong”. We should already know this. Ends.

It should be possible to buy high spec kitchen appliances where the higher price is due to better quality parts, higher reliability and a longer operating life, rather than a "smart" wifi connection that enables me to start the dishwasher when I'm overseas.

Pochin yet another Reform MP with no principles, as long as the money keeps coming they really don't care where it comes from. They all are corrupt traitors.

It’s the 88th anniversary today of this immensely enjoyable headline 🧵

The Guardian once asked me 'what one change would you make to achieve Black equality in Britain?' and it feels appropriate to share my answer again

I have enormous sympathy with people angry that the political vandalism of our prison system is forcing the (even earlier) release of prisoners. It is a scandal. But deciding who does and does not get released on the basis of the volume of public outcry at their crime is the road to madness.

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

Listening to my generation talk about the 90s the way the previous generation talked about the 70s is tiresome. No that wasnt 'back when movies were good' or 'music still meant something'. There's loads of great shit coming out now and there was loads of slop back then. You just miss being young.

My son was wearing a "Vote Reform" t-shirt and an "I love Nigel" baseball hat. He's been spat at, abused, slapped around the head and told he's a brainless twat. God knows what's going to happen to him once he gets out of the house...

As a local cllr, I felt quite insulted by the suggestion that all we do is ‘deal with parking & sorting out the bins’, suggesting that because we’re so trivial it’s OK to put up a convicted anti-Semite as a prospective cllr.

Here are the stupidest things Kemi Badenoch has said so far today inews.co.uk/opinion/kemi...

FFS we cannot keep doing this… A handful of the richest people hoovering up wealth from everyone else while quite literally making the planet unlivable At what point does someone grow a fucking spine and do something?!

And now, a little Vivaldi. Michel Tirabosco, a renowned pan flute player, collaborating with Raphaël Froissart. He is a professor at the Geneva Conservatory. Born with physical differences, he began playing the pan flute at 7 and has achieved international recognition for his skill. #streetmusic

Ladies and Gents... LBC Bias! Rachel Johnson: Israel has not been committing genocide. Gideon Falter: Israel has not been committing genocide. Me: Um actually, Israel... Rachel Johnson:*INTERRUPTS* Stop talking about Israel!

French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡

A lot of people today talking about an awful person who died but i want to make everyone aware of a good person who died: Northern Irish comedian Jimmy Cricket, who you should all look up if you don’t know. 10/10 all around wife guy, dad, granddad, and just a generally solid person

😂😂 I was invited on to their show this morning, only they pulled out. I would have been highlighting Reform in East Sussex County Council for starving kids. GMB said the news cycle had changed.

AI is turning out to be a bit shit and not worth all the disruption,cost,environmental damage etc another billionaires disastrous ideas put upon us with no consent. Just forced to use it while it rips the heart out of people. Who’d have thought it 🤔

Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him

Very obliging of #r4today to lead with Reform’s ‘plan’ to stop the boats using the Royal Navy, pretending it’ll be some great WWII-style escapade, rather than a hateful, costly, diplomatically incontinent mess. A total waste of everyone’s time as they’ll never be in power and it’s unworkable anyway.

The EU is about to ban 'video glasses' because they break invasion of privacy laws. The UK needs to ban them too.

Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine has it figured out. I couldn't agree more. Fuck fascism.

Nah it’s just that the far right are usually uncomfortable with accepting the facts about what they are. They don’t want to face the reality that they’re unbelievably thick, utterly racist, very ugly, deeply unfuckable, horribly lazy and extremely gullible.

In January, I stopped using X as a communication channel because the platform facilitated the creation of illegal and deeply harmful images by its AI tool, Grok. I am renewing my call for all governmental and parliamentary communications to stop using X. The platform continues to facilitate
