A humanitarian? A fucking humanitarian? According to Witkoff, the skillset of a humanitarian includes mass murder, kidnapping of children, mass incarceration, torture and every war crime under sun.

So for clarity: Zelenskyy doesn’t know what he’s talking about and nothing happened with Starlink…but also the US had nothing to do with the thing that didn’t happen? Got it.

Unfortunately I can’t hear stringed questions anymore without my head going here

Katie Phang on Blanche: What are you trying to hide? Who are you protecting? This is the permissive culture that is created, that is then buttressed by conduct by people like the AG to protect perpetrators, co-conspirators, enablers of crimes. Crimes against children, crimes against women.

So I guess the question is why the US is linked with Russian vessels? Because that’s who the Ukrainians are targeting.

⚡️ US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said vessels linked to the United States have repeatedly been targeted by Ukraine in recent months and that this cannot be allowed to continue.

Yes, the #Lanterns show is very limited because of its budget but “the ring only has battery for a few constructs at a time” is a lazy criticism. As everyone knows that #HalJordan is *obviously* flying around Rushville all night and, in true Jordan fashion, forgetting to charge his ring.

Local politics, even in a city like London, doesn’t really feel like Lammy’s wheelhouse. He’s more of a “big picture” politician or however you want to phrase it: national campaigns, PLP communications, diplomacy and geopolitics I mean, his stint in the London Assembly lasted less than a month

🚨 NEW: David Lammy is reportedly preparing to stand for London Mayor in 2028 [@Kumail_Jaffer]

“It’s entrapment” would be a solid argument for Reform if they were targeted by law enforcement and not journalists…for the second time in less than five years. Maybe it ceases to be entrapment when you’re just repeatedly doing naughty things

In the run up to the Midterms, here’s a wild idea: Remember Joe Biden? The guy with sever metastatic bone cancer? Could we maybe consider leaving him alone moving forward?

Wild how now all the major news outlets are giving air to the idea that the immigration debate may be causing division Y’know, when the government strategy is shown to be having an effect?

Sam Freedman@samfr.bsky.social

New immigration stats show that the numbers of asylum seekers in hotels is down to 16k - falling 50% in a year. Small boat crossings down 23% in the year to June. Numbers waiting for initial decision down from almost 180k to 40k.

Look, you can have whatever take you want on his political stances but the mere suggestion that Gavin Newsom doesn't have one of the most undeniably good looking face cards in the game? LUDICIOUS. Get your head looked at.

It was good of them to leave this in the opening paragraph so we knew not to read any further. Like, if you can't get the most basic of analogies right where the media is concerned, why should readers listen to your view?

Initially I thought: “surely they wouldn’t lie about such an easily verifiable claim” And then I remembered who we’re talking about here

Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social

Farage: " I am damned if I am going to stand on a stage, having won a resounding victory... and be demeaned and humiliated by nobodies," Reform UK made a differemt claim that Essex police advised him not to attend due to a "ctedible threat". [Nb, this claim not yet confitmed by Essex police]

THIS. It is this simple. A law was passed by congress and everyday this administration lives in violation and contempt of it. Yet, for some reason, @katiephang.bsky.social is the only major voice breaking through. When this is all done, she will go down as one of the US’s greatest legal champions

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Phang: Each and every day after December 19th, 2025 has been a violation of the Epstein files transparency act. Now, to compound the problem for Blanche and the DOJ, you have violations of court orders.

I love this world where our entire political system is apparently being directed by a comedic alien This whole timeline is a Doctor Who plot

🚨 BREAKING: Nigel Farage says he has won "far more" votes in the Clacton by-election than he did in 2024 "In doing so, we have beaten the candidate for the uniparty: Count Binface"

Given the recent cyberattack on the Department of Education, I think a serious conversation around the lack of cybersecurity infrastructure in the UK needs to be had. Y’know, like one that’s not “Fatima’s next job…”, etc. If we’re talking about defence of the nation then let’s talk about it.

1. The People of Aberdeen are not “dancing in the streets” for @andyburnham.bsky.social 2. We aren’t moving the wind farms. 3. We. Don’t. Own. The. Oil. Fields. Jackdaw and Rosebank are jointly owned by Equinor and Shell—not the British government. We will pay exactly what we’ve been paying
