Contempt for the Conmen

BREAKING: Pirro has dismissed the case against Davey Hearn for vandalizing the reflecting pool, saying that there's no way vandals could have caused the damage.

The good news is that people really love the audiobook version of Notorious. The even better news is that as of today, it's an absolute flipping bargain! www.audible.co.uk/pd/Notorious...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social No to a leadership challenge. The biggest problem Labour faces right now is not the messaging and attacks from Reform and right-wing media, it’s how they handle it. They must push back harder and communicate better.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Collectively, the media and its commentators hold Starmer to a much higher standard than Farage. So they are predisposed to heavily amplify every single one of Starmer’s indiscretions. Whereas Farage has form and this donation (sadly) holds reduced shock value.

So NOTORIOUS is out in paperback on May 7th. And though it's no best selling Matt Goodwin ... I hope you will avail yourself of a copy. Or even several copies. 1/2

“To me it seems H!tler has won. He’s changed us J€ws from being compassionate and caring…into this vicious, Genocidal, nationalist nation,” —Miriam Margolyes, an 84-year-old Jewish Australian-British actor publicly condemns Israelis

@mrjamesob.bsky.social A genuine screen grab from The Guardian website the other day typifies the madness of the king.

Finding BBC and #r4today analysis of Trump’s insults of Starmer to be bizarre. Why are we even considering what Trump said? It’s meaningless. Genuinely. Not even Trump knows what he means. The story is - Starmer stood firm and acted in the national interest. Trump threw some toys out of his pram.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I’d bet a fiver that Farage, renowned WW2 fantasist, fed the Trump administration this latest Churchill line.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I’ve no doubt who prefers Trump’s very latest take on Starmer - the right-wing media. The likes of whom largely ignored Starmer’s recent successes with Trump. Plus Mordaunt demonstrates her CLEAR misunderstanding of the current situation with her sound bite this morning.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

This is Trump's Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick. He just called millions of seniors worried about their Social Security benefits "fraudsters." His old company was forced to pay $6 million for violating federal laws. REPOST if you think Howard Lutnick is the fraud!

Guys, I think I found the file about Trump.

Hahaha. This is not gonna work.

🚨: After 48 years of travel, NASA 's Voyager 1 is nearing one light-day from Earth, almost 16 billion miles away. A proud milestone for humanity, and a humbling reminder of how small we are in an infinite universe.

Make this go viral. Labour MP Louise Haigh.

"Quiet, piggy!"

I'm no art critic but the very reaction to it suggests the artist has hit the mark. Shame it's going.

Labour concocts more ugly measures to punish asylum seekers and the right immediately demands worse… howling to leave the ECHR. This scapegoating of migrants must stop. It is failure - morally and practically. “Either we all have human rights or none of us do.” app.independent.co.uk/edition/uk.c...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I have a sinking feeling this nonsense about paracetamol also feels adjacent to misogyny. In two strokes it accuses women of not ‘toughing out’ the pain of giving birth, and then places the blame solely on women if their child is autistic. Dreadful.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social So we have the British Ambassador to the United States corroborating that his letter in the birthday book is real. And yet Trump calls the book a hoax. In a sane world, both cannot be true.

The people who brought you Brexit on a promise of ‘control’ now threaten civil unrest and frothing racism as govt policy… For love of god can we just stop listening to anything they have to say. They represent nothing but inadequacy and failure. Surely our country can do better than this.

Can someone please explain why it is that too many politicians only seem to want the votes of the prejudiced and the ignorant? To the extent that they are actively repelling anyone capable of rational thought and decency. Why the pathetic need to appease the bigot vote, at everyone else’s expense?

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Cut through all the noise. STAY. ON. EPSTEIN.

Totally agree — except it’s BIGGER than Watergate.

27 different named women accused him of sex assault, he’s on video with Epstein where they are grossly leering at young women, Miss Teen USA contestants said he came in dressing room when they were naked, he bragged on the Access Hollywood tape about grabbing women. It’s obvious.

Trump is ironically promising to give us Mexican Coke

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I love how you keep the spirit of Tony Hancock alive 😅

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Trump blew up the Iranian deal because it had Obama’s signature on it. He is this petty.

This 👇 is exactly what’s going on right now.

It’s bloody ridiculous. And a total abdication of the media’s responsibility to scrutinise and inform. Instead, they grab for headlines, sensationalise and give out free passes like smarties to a ‘party’ fronted by grifting liars, with a joke manifesto and a track record of taking the piss.

TRUMP IS TO BLAME FOR BOULDER TERROR ATTACK. If you are going to seize people off the streets, seize the dangerous threats, not women and kids who can't fight back against cowardly ICE Gestapo This is on Trump GET THE ALL-NEW TUESDAY COUNTDOWN PODCAST: tinyurl.com/2yxpkbb3

YouTube is the perfect place for “Katie Unleashed.” We’ll talk about the law, politics, and culture. You’ll hear from trusted, familiar voices. And you’ll hear from new voices with fresh takes. It’s time we realize WE are the cavalry we’ve been waiting for. Let’s rock and roll, folks.

Why would Walmart have to “eat” the tariffs? Didn’t he say the other countries pay the tariffs?

What an insane position to have gotten himself into www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

In two important ways Labour empowered Nigel Farage and Faragism this week. Both were strategic mistakes. We’ve seen this story before. New writing from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

help us, e. coli, you’re our only hope

To call RFK Jr a dangerous idiot… is not even scratching the surface 🤦‍♂️

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Trump took 100% away and then gave back only 50%. This particular detail makes it hard to celebrate this trade deal. Brexit benefit? Hardly.

Less than a week ago he attended the funeral of Pope Frances- a beloved Pope. Its painful and offensive and infuriating .
