Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him

Left: Jacob Rees-Mogg criticises Andy Burnham, "The hope he changes stuff is not enough, you need substance, you need to explain explain what you're going to do" Right: Boris Johnson, "We didn't have a plan for what to do next, because we didn't think it was our job to have a plan"

Just back from Barts hospital for bi-annual not dead yet check. Staff are absolutely brilliant and I’m lucky to live so close as they have patents from all over the country. Big up to the NHS 💙

The next PM could - and in my view should - properly stick it to Trump (as Meloni has just done); announce a plan to undo Brexit; put immigration to bed for at least one electoral cycle; take their government off Twitter; unequivocally condemn Netanyahu & resurrect Leveson 2… A boy can dream.

#Melania Your husband was gleeful about the deaths of #RobertMueller & #RobReiner, he yells at & demeans female reporters on a weekly basis, he encouraged a mob to endanger the life of his former Vice President. And on and on. . . So, #Melania, America is asking you to kindly f*ck all the way off.

Nigel Farage has been accused by multiple people he grew up with of extreme antisemitic comments and behaviour. Yet he's allowed to present himself as a champion of Jewish people. Meanwhile, our only Jewish leader, Zack Polanski, is smeared - because he opposes genocide.

The Epstein crisis is escalating. Reports say Ghislaine Maxwell may be seeking a pardon as lawmakers demand answers from the DOJ over missing files and unanswered subpoenas. This isn't going away.

The people of Iran aren’t free. Iran can now charge tolls. The nuclear material sits EXACTLY where it did, in the same amount, since June. The regime is still in place with a younger ayatollah. Iran still was launching missiles, now with more money to rebuild. Period

Martha Scargill reposted

Money will be made by Iran, since your deal just allowed them to charge $2 million per ship to pass through—a fee that never existed prior to the war.

He is insane. And this is an open declaration of intended genocide. If any other world leader said this, there would be sanctions and an arrest warrant, not just for him, but for his whole regime.

You can still be shocked can't you, even after years of this shit. That sentence chilled me to my bones. To see an American president say that. To see him boast about it.

Dear people of the UK, when you go to vote on May 7th, just before you write the X in the box, count to 10 & think about what's happening in America. A quick recap below: Sadly there will be those who will vote for this unwittingly down South, But the Scottish should almost certainly reject this.

So high on the racism, misogyny & climate change denial that they can *never* admit their man is all the things the people with ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ said he was.

Just my opinion, but there should be a constitutional remedy for when the President of the United States addresses the nation and everything he says is either pure lunacy, an unhinged claim or a blatant fabrication. Just like the 25th amendment, but real.

This is an excellent summary of current circumstances Kyle Kulinski: “A sundowning president with Alzheimer’s who’s a malignant narcissist is dragging us into WWIII, committing war crimes on a daily basis and crashing the global economy, and nobody is actually grabbing the steering wheel.”

Headline: 'Kemi will cut £200 off bills by drilling in North Sea'. Actual quote: 'I'm not saying it's going to go onto your bills'. @mrjamesob.bsky.social wants to know what's going on with the 'drill baby drill' brigade.

Martha Scargill reposted

But calling for it anyway, however ignorantly, will make a direct difference to what climate change denying donors pay politicians. So there’s that.

Kemi Badenoch admits that her plan to expand drilling in the North Sea, whilst scrapping Net Zero plans, probably won't make a direct difference to what people pay. "The drilling isn't going to go directly onto people's bills" she tells the BBC

In the EU, healthcare is a public service, not a consumer product. Your right to see a doctor is tied to where you live, not how much you earn. The average annual healthcare spend per person is €870 68.4% rate their health as ‘very good’ or ‘good’ 🇪🇺 European Commission

If you get a dollar bill with a Trump signature, black it out with a Sharpie. He prefers his name redacted.

There are a whole bunch of reasons to turn out for #nokings tomorrow but here are maybe the top two: 1) huge turnout is a signal to republicans edging away from Trump and puts steel in Dem spines. 2) least we can do to honor bravery of Minnesotans who turned the tide
