Thoughts from a Labour MP: “We have to face up to the fact every single one of them is fucking useless. Andy’s strategy has been a disaster. Angela has bottled it. Ed clearly a hiding to nothing. Wes is AWOL. God knows what Catherine West is doing. I am not quite sure how we ended up here.”

"You cannot have 'Great Britain' and 'colonisation' in the same sentence, and not talk about slavery for 400 years - you idiot." Man United boss Jim Ratcliffe 'needs a history lesson', caller Boyowa tells @mrjamesob.bsky.social.

Trump has now deleted the post, with the White House now claiming, "A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down." Karoline Leavitt a few hours ago: "Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.”

Thinking of becoming a food influencer in 2026 😉 There’s a new little Korean place in Brentford where they butcher & fry a whole chicken for you. Magnificent! They only do ten a day but also offer tenders, wings etc. Anyway, it’s called Inyun, just by Kew Bridge & it’s absolutely fantastic.

It is very difficult to think of anything Trump has done this year that does not denigrate the USA’s staunchest allies and delight their once shared enemies, most obviously Vladimir Putin. And apart perhaps from Mark Carney, Western politicians are not rising to the unprecedented challenge he poses.

The Prime Minister must pick up the phone now to Donald Trump. We have 24 hours to stop Trump’s billion-dollar raid on British licence fee payers. We’ve written to the PM, calling on him to demand that Trump drop his ludicrous $1 billion lawsuit against the BBC.

‘The BBC don’t realise that these people want their destruction.’ Why are right-wing media outlets so 'exercised' by the editing of a Panorama documentary? James O’Brien has an idea.

‘At one point during cross examination, the prosecutor Peter Wright KC called Barton’s explanations “nonsense”, to which the former player responded by asking: “Are you calling me a nonce?” Wright in turn responded: “No, nonsense.”’

ICE now has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world and has increased spending on weapons. It's also engaging in a race to recruit 10,000 new agents who will eventually be out in American streets. Some will be vetted, but how many unqualified recruits will fall through the cracks?

Two lovers changing the world. #OneToOne: John & Yoko is a rare and immersive portrait of the artists' first year in NYC – a period of creative explosion and political activism for them. The HBO Original documentary premieres November 14 on @hbomax.

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

Strong speech from Badenoch. Well delivered. Sharp critique of government. Focussed on politically fertile territory on the economy. Eye catching policy which will get a lot of v positive press attention.

Birmingham, my home city, is a fantastic city, with fantastic people- a success story. It has its problems, like anywhere. But the obsession the online right has with it is as transparent as it gets.

Just look at King Charles as President Trump calls him a ‘Great King.’ The sheer joy in his face shows how a great friendship is developing between him & the President. With Melania dressing up as a lamp stand to win a bet, I’d say this Presidential trip has been a great success!

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

'The second Donald Trump boards Air Force One with his much coveted photo with the King, I suspect it's going to be open season on the UK.' @simonmarksfsn.bsky.social picks apart the thread running between Peter Mandelson, Charlie Kirk, and Nigel Farage - a week away from the state visit.

That Bezos-Sanchez wedding looks about as much fun as a skiing holiday in the Netherlands. A bunch of not very interesting people cosplaying "movie stars of the 1960s on location in Venice." For THREE DAYS What the hell did they all talk about?

Today—after the war was supposed to be over, due to the alleged destruction of Iran’s nuclear program—Israel has bombed Shahid Beheshti University (a war crime) and a landmark in Tehran’s Palestine Square (a war crime) and launched the worst bombing of Tehran yet. Israel is out of fucking control.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

This all comes down to policy choices. Do we want a nation with policies rooted in cruelty and punishment? Or do we want a nation with policies rooted in kindness and compassion? This is the choice before us.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

He’s got away with untold crimes, lies & offences. He’s achieved the highest office in the land. Twice. He’s lining his pockets on an industrial scale & persecuting his enemies for fun. But he’s still a miserable, bitter, humourless & furious man. Because deep inside, he knows *exactly* who he is.
