I was eight at the time of the Aberfan disaster and recall the story on the news and when our headmaster addressed us the following morning, not appreciating the culpability of the Coal Board and the shoddiness of the Gvt response. Salute to the fallen and to the bravery of the survivors #aberfan

Really not sure what the Greens are playing at getting a spokesman defending the party's recent motion on Zionism to accuse a Jewish journalist of being anti-semitic, a deeply unhelpful spectacle #politicslive~

Trump says Canada is “destroying itself” and claims millions are coming in “unchecked and unvetted.” No evidence. Canada has actually REDUCED immigration intake. Trump should worry about his own country. Canada will decide Canada’s future. 🇨🇦 #USDemocracy #RisingBlue #ElbowsUp #CanadaStrong

Unfortunately??? Fact is this is -- directly or indirectly -- a loss for him and his corrupt family. And just like he has with Iran, Russia invaded sovereign Ukrainian territory. Excoriate THAT!! #FDJT

We have identified a Russian product we'd like removed from our government.

Can't get a moment's peace on this bloody planet.

With him in the White House, we are an unserious nation, a nation our friends and allies around the world rightly despise and, as long as he’s in the White House, want nothing to do with.

Congrats to Argentina for getting through the ritual hand-slapping without fouling anyone

After Zia Yusuf accuses critics of endangering Reform politicians with violent language, he is read a list of quotes where he called Reform's opponents "lunatics who deserve extinction", "sick arsonists" and "traitors" who will face a "reckoning". He says these are in "a totally different category"

Farage to resign at two o'clock this afternoon? After the wonderful football results yesterday that would make for a very joyful couple of days

The head of the referees association should threaten to boycott the USA Belgium game tonight after Trump's attack of the integrity of the official who sent off Balogun

The Conservatives are for "the super rich" says Robert Jenrick, whose own campaigns have been funded by a billionaire Israeli mining heir and a firm controlled by a sanctioned oligarch

Just noting that when Sarah Everard was kidnapped and murdered by a police officer and a vigil held for her on Clapham Common, Farage urged people not to attack men or the police.

Amongst all the crap espoused by Blair yesterday he didn't addresss his old quote of "My project will be complete when the Labour party learns to love Peter Mandelson."

One way of getting rid of him I suppose

Wes Streeting would be the final nail in Labour's coffin. More neoliberalism, more privatisation, more austerity, more grovelling to economic power, when we desperately want change.

There is only ONE way to Make America Healthy Again

i hope the white house sends vance to campaign for Reform in britain

Three hours after Donald Trump's threat that “a whole civilisation will die tonight” in Iran, and Nigel Farage has been more openly critical of this than Downing Street or anyone else in the UK government.

Didn't expect the brilliant punch line

Caroline Lucas "This is an illegal reckless war waged by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu." #BBCqt

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

Rest in peace Country Joe, with a song never more apt

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump: "Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

BREAKING NEWS A major dispute has reportedly erupted between the Pentagon and Trump over the Iran attack, with numerous generals reportedly on the verge of resigning. -Washington Post

As Nigel Farage is now so concerned about the influence of "foreign-born voters" can he finally explain why a Kazakhstan-born billionaire appears to be bankrolling his own political party?

Exc: Matt Goodwin rails against the elites but is paid to fly around the world to speak with them. The Reform candidate says he's “not part of establishment”, but has given talks at the London Stock Exchange, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan Asset Management and Google www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Game changing?

And about time too

Starmer sounding like a broken man when even the awful Badenoch runs rings round him at PMQs

Blair's comment in 1996 of 'My project will be complete when the Labour Party learns to love Peter Mandelson' looking ever more tawdry

www.notus.org/2026-electio...

He hasn't even addressed the subject yet, possibly still awaiting instructions from Washington and Moscow

12:30 and Farage is the only major party leader not yet to comment (or criticise) Trump over his attack on UK's role in Afghanistan

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Say what you will about Hitler, at least he knew which countries he was invading.

"Starmer’s speech confirms what I speculated here: that Britain will be weakest link in Europe’s attempts to stand up to Trump over Greenland" Sadly true. You need a spine to stand up to the orange dictator - and Starmer doesn't have one www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

A reminder that when Robert Jenrick was running for Conservative party leader he accepted £25,000 from a firm controlled by a sanctioned Oligarch. He should fit in well bylinetimes.com/2024/10/17/r...

The World Cup should not be held in the United States.

Spot the difference: Iraq vs. Venezuela

As the losses pile up for President Trump it must be tough for him not to be able to turn to his best friend in the world, Jeffrey Epstein.
