Whatever the truth of the Musk/Trump theatricals over Starlink, we should pause to think about the fact that key defence systems are controlled by a psychopathic megalomaniac and a white-supremacist egomaniac.

I love it when the Daily Mail threatens me with a good time. "Most Left-wing speech by a PM since 1970s" "National Care Service" "Closer ties with EU" "voting reform that could lock Right out of power"

I hope when his columnist pals eulogise about his greatest hits they remember to include all his "you know what's brilliant? Noncing" work

He also wrote this 23 years ago and somehow his career remained unaffected www.theguardian.com/society/2003...

This happened in the county where I grew up, and I can think of no better articulation of why I full with rage thinking of the white supremacist garbage that pervades the area to this day.

Robert Jenrick has a meltdown on #C4News He refuses to accept that there are parliamentary rules that Nigel Farage may have broken And insists the only people who can judge Nigel Farage are the people of Clacton 😅 - Whatever you do, please don't share this humiliating clip

Just how much better/healthier/more confident/more united/more informed would our country be if absolutely no one gave a shit what the Daily Mail has to say about anything?

The absolute lack of understanding of how tech works by Government ministers is embarrassing and frankly, in 2026 100% unacceptable and inexcusable. Barking.

Jess Phillips says that tech companies are all "lying" and that they know "exactly how old" every user is. (The proof, according to Phillips? She gets menopause ads and her children don't.)

“The design choices that have led to this environment are the same choices that the government courts when it tries to partner with these tech companies.” The naked truth about press coverage of Keir Starmer's nude ban plan - @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/brokenbo...

The govt cannot stop bad actors exploiting tragedy for political gain, but perhaps it can stop pretending this is a regretful but ultimately unavoidable part of modern life. Ban X. It has no place in a modern, functioning democracy. @theleaduk.bsky.social national.thelead.uk/p/belfast-at...

The world intelligence agencies have a two week window to leak the complete Epstein Files. It’s actually a very prudent and economical act of national defense. We can’t keep letting him put us through this.

Today I will mostly be trying to bribe people with cheap petrol, in the hope that they will forget that I have been cheering on the orange idiot whose war is pushing up fuel prices.

The Social Media giants need to be accountable. Banning SM for kids under 16 simply lets those corporations off the hook and those kids who want to, will not only get round it - but do so surreptitiously and in my opinion that's far more dangerous.

Make this go viral. Labour MP Louise Haigh.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

This is the point where the anti-Reeves stories tip into madness. Criticise her performance all you like but what the hell is this?

A former junior champion said Reeves did not hold the official British girls’ under-14 title, and critics ask broader questions about her CV and career claims ⬇️

Lib Dem leader Edward Davey calls for a national investigation into Russian political interference in British politics: "Given Reform won't, he must. So will he know launch a national investigation into Russian infiltration into our politics?" Starmer: "Reform is riddled with pro-Putin propaganda"
