Refugee from Twitter, arrived aboard a small boat. On the beach in the East Riding of Yorkshire and ready to hoist the sail and clear off out at the first sign of trouble. Not many harbours of refuge since Brexit - where to go?
In brief, it's looking like the choice for next UN Secretary General is coming down to a coterie of feeble-minded men versus a selection of extraordinary women.

Some of these right wing knobheads have suggested that they’ve been contacted by RNLI lifeboat volunteers claiming that they are being told that they don’t want to be involved in rescuing migrants. I don’t fvcking believe that for a second, do you? These masked up babies will say anything… #RNLI
More evidence that he can no longer distinguish between his fantasies and the real world.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoTrump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."
I do hope Meghan Markle is strong enough to withstand the shitstorm she’s come back to. I’m baffled by the hatred towards her and can only conclude that, yet again, it’s racism at the core of it.
This is what a racist looks like. Nathan Cofnas, who falsely accused Jason Arday of plagiarism. He has been described as academically limited and a right wing bigot.
FIFA is threatening to punish Iran for not coming to the world cup in the United States, which just bombed them to bits and this is the same FIFA that gave the president of the country that bombed them a peace prize???? I wish England weren’t going.
Not for the first time, I’m wishing our politicians would sometimes be brave enough to say about some topical issue (otters on banknotes) - “oh I don’t care, I’ve got more important things to worry about, put the tellytubbies on for all I care”

Gordon Brown demands a full UK police investigation into Epstein’s enablers in Britain and calls for Andrew to be interviewed by police over Epstein flights from Stansted. 👏👏👏
The sea arrives, blue and muscular, as if it could lift the whole world into its mouth. Across the bay the cliffs glow, and the last sunlight clings to them like a hand that refuses to let go. I stand where the water thins to glass, and my heart breaks open in the salt air. #photography #poetry
Jeffrey Epstein survivors speak out #SuperBowl #SuperBowl2026 #SuperBowlXL "I was 14" "I was 16" "I was 16" "17" "14" "There are about a thousand of us" "It's time to bring the secrets out of the shadows" "It's time to shine a light into the darkness" "Release all of the Epstein files"
The party's Westminster leader Stephen Flynn has this afternoon reported the Labour peer to the Metropolitan Police to investigate whether there is sufficient evidence of criminality in his actions as a UK government minister and in his long-standing relationship with Epstein. www.thenational.scot
This should not only test the duration of winter, but of political leadership as well. Oh, you want to determine when the seasons change -and- retain the presidency/title of prime minister/head of your party? TO THE CAVE-

Revelations Lead Mandelson to Leave Labour. Now Starmer Must Follow - Dorset Eye
In the end, it was a scandal too far, even for Peter Mandelson. The latest Epstein revelations have finally forced one of Labour’s most controversial figures to resign from the party he once claimed t...

Does Starmer think Mandelson resigning will make us all forget his elevation as Labour Lord & top Britain's ambassador, when being a corrupt politician & close friend of paedophile & sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was widely known, not least to security services which advise on such appointments
And for those people who want to vote for #ReformUK Inc., that is who Farage admires (along with Putin). Why would anybody want to vote for a man or his party who does so however much you think #UK politics is bust? And if that’s you in #Scotland, wtaf is wrong with you??

If Andrea Jenkyns represents the calibre of Reform party politicians - marvellous! I very much look forward to hearing more.
Mark Hale just wrote a fucking novel!@ver-bat-man.eurosky.social · 8mo ago@marina-purkiss.bsky.social giving the Reform Party UK ltd what for. Andrea "The Finger" Jenkyns cannot process the idea that her idol might be neck-deep in the swamp that he promised QAnon he'd clear. Thank you, Marina.
worth remembering that Starmer ousted Corbyn for being a KGB stooge
Peter Jukes@peterjukes.bsky.social · 8mo agoI really can’t keep up with this. It’s like every vague suspicion of oligarch, finance and tech power come together - with Russian influence. Yes, you’re not imagining. Only Mandelson, Lebedev, Milner and Epstein and L’Affaire Russe
www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Has Mandelson's avarice finally caught up with him, or will he bounce back yet again? Either way, it's further evidence of Starmer's appalling lack of judgement and political nous.
Mandelson resigns from Labour to prevent ‘further embarrassment’ over Epstein links
Departure from party follows release of documents in US appearing to show Jeffrey Epstein sent former US ambassador $75,000

Look at those pictures of Mandelson together with Epstein. I think it looks very much as though poor Mandy was head over heels in love.
I am enjoying how many liabilities Farage has accepted. This blithering halfwit being just one.
Marina Purkiss@marina-purkiss.bsky.social · 8mo agoMe: “What about the fact that Trump was found guilty in a civil court for sexual abuse…was that not enough for you to withdraw your support?” Now listen to the response from Andrea Jenkyns of the Reform Party…
"Norris is now sitting as an independent MP but has not attended the House of Commons since his arrest. He is still able to vote by proxy." How is this bloke still an MP?
Suspended Labour MP Dan Norris accused of more sexual offences

Trump sued the BBC for editing one of his speeches. It makes you wonder why he's not suing people for directly, openly stating that he's a rapist and a paedophile.
As business secretary Peter Mandelson conspired with leading US bank to end tax on bankers' bonuses. He told Epstein that JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon should “threaten” chancellor Alistair Darling over the tax. A year later, Mandy was seeking work with JPMorgan. Top journalism by @pickardje.bsky.social
