England are laughably bad

The dog and cat people have discovered Bluesky then

Hot takes on a hot day with our 7th PM in 10 years. We are truly turning into Italy.

What this site needs is more journalists posting Wes Streeting’s resignation letter.

Wes Streeting - do these people have no self awareness?

I pity the poor council officers who are going to have to work with this ragtag army of racist sexist homophobic bigots.

Oopsie

Im so far from caring about Peter Mandelson and his vetting failure I’ve almost circled the globe and come back to it. No one really cares about this stuff. I mean we a have a psychopath in the White House and the Kremlin. Focus.

This article from the guy who campaigned for Brexit which has made us all materially worse off boils my urine. Opinion: Our national decline is even worse than the British public thinks - The Telegraph

He is stark raving mad. America has a choice to make - sadly I suspect it will fail us all

I’m not entirely sure that having the American Vice President turning up to support your election campaign is the big plus that the crazy Hungarian Putin puppet thought it might be.

Living costs are soaring, the current Prime Minister has historically poor ratings and yet Reform can only muster a four point lead, three years out from the general election. It's underpriced quite how beatable Farage really is

So this is what a post truth world looks like.

I have a dental appointment tomorrow at 2.30. My tooth hurts

Awful attempted gotcha interview with David Lammy on Radio 4 Today programme: terrible stuff from the interviewer. Got to stop listening to it again - it’s terrible.

Stay off SM the day after a by election. So many wrong hot takes.

A work of genius.

Too. Much. News.

Whatever is in the Epstein files it must be really really bad for Trump to start attacking the whole of the world

What on earth is “wintry mix”?

Trump: "We have a fool at the Federal Reserve. I mean, Biden reappointed him. It's too bad. You would have thought he wouldn't have done that." (Jerome Powell was appointed by Trump)

I for one am hugely surprised that Farage has turned out to be a massive racist. I mean - who knew?

The commander-in-chief is not ok. read @radiofreetom.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

He finally makes a valid point

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From

Watching this Trump presser - it’s real hide behind the sofa stuff. He’s basically nuts.

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

Too much news today.

Rep. Jamie Raskin tears into Nigel Farage as a "far-right pro-Putin politician" and a "Donald Trump sycophant and wannabe".

Reform MP says they will negotiate with the Taliban.

Cancelled my Tines subscription after a lot of years. The fawning round Farage has got too much. Tony Gallagher is wrecking the paper. Sad to see.

Have people always got weirdly obsessional about stuff and gone down rabbit holes and never come out but we just didn’t notice cos they didn’t plaster it all over the internet?

Right. Off to X to see what all the racist gammon make of the football result.

London is over

People are losing their shit about rock musicians and punks and rappers saying edgy political stuff - in 2025? WTAF has happened to the world?
