What a bunch of heartless, mindless amateurs. Scumbags, the lot of them.

NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

If you've seen the ugliest vehicle ever made, that was Elon. Those videos showing obscene data center pollution? Also Elon. If you've seen starving African kids being turned away from shuttered aid distribution centers, that was Elon. A car burning on the side of the road? You guessed it

Not to open oneself up to accusations of being right-wing, but a minimum wage of nearly £30,000 a year and a higher rate tax bracket of £50,000 does look a little off

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

Pensioner poverty has halved in the past 30 years, as the shadow work and pensions secretary Helen Whately claimed. But how much of this was down to the Conservatives? Almost all the fall she’s talking about happened under Labour.

fullfact.orgHow much of the fall in pensioner poverty is ‘thanks’ to the Conservatives? – Full FactConservative shadow minister Helen Whately claimed that the halving of pensioner poverty was “in no small part” thanks to her party. But most of that fall happened when Labour was in power.

All that said, credit where credit is due: Standing at the helm of a sinking Titanic impotently spinning its wheel left and right while petulantly whining at the panicking crew for not saluting you is a perfect metaphor for the Trump administration's current Iran policy.

This is just strange behavior, even from a dementia patient. Trump stops and waves. The camera zooms out to reveal that there’s nobody in the direction he’s waving. Apparently, he’s waving to the ghost of Lindsey Graham.

Yeah I don’t see how this isn’t a crisis at this point? You cannot have a private citizen running a full private foreign policy which runs against that of the United States like this

For those playing along at home: To give the appearance of action on the impacts of his humiliating blunder on the world stage, the President of the United States is making a humiliating blunder on the world stage by bailing the Russian president out of a humiliating blunder on the world stage.

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Police in Bristol said they asked organisers of a far-right protest in city centre to move it or reschedule, because the big Shine Night Walk big cancer charity 10K fundraising walk of 2,000 people - mainly women - was planned for Friday night. Police confirmed the group refused, so walk postponed.

"We charge you with genocide." Grim, inane and preposterous. One day these people will realise that words mean something and you shouldn't just string them together randomly to make yourself feel better.

Pro-Palestinian protesters gather outside City Hall to call out Mayor Zohran Mamdani for what they see as his betrayal of the movement. "Mayor Mamdani, you can't hide we charge you with genocide" was a chant that just rang out.

At a certain point you gotta be willing to just say these are basically crazy people that nothing you can do will make happy, man. Like I’m sorry but if you’re protesting Mamdani over this people should just ignore you.

Our war with Iran was *never* about them having a nuclear weapon. That has always been a lie. And how do we know this? North Korea has *lots* of nuclear weapons. And instead of bombing them, Trump is always singing the praises of its leader and how much he likes Trump. We are being conned.

Labour was polling a little over 30% when these articles were written. It is genuinely strange that the Conservative Party is not being subjected to the same obituaries by op-ed given its frequent sub-20% polling.
