The Trump/Republican agenda, in a headline. www.cnn.com/2026/10/27/e...

True 😂 Israel could say that a hospital got blown up by a dragon and the British press would run with it.” Frankie Boyle

Trump is campaigning for the midterms with a mix of racism and lies, mostly targeting Michigan Democrat candidate Abdul Al-Sayed. But will his "jihadist" scaremongering still work with voters, despite none of it being true? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

ONE WEEK OUT — and Democrats have the wind at their backs. Both parties now expect a Democratic House. The Senate is still a knife fight. The stunning part: Dems now think they could lose as few as ONE House incumbent. But momentum means nothing if we stay home. Vote early. Donate. Volunteer. 💙

New in PN: Living in the long, stupid shadow of the Big Lie "Elections where Trump — or any other Republican — wins are fine, but elections where Republicans lose are corrupt. The only solution, of course, is to let the DOJ intervene both before and after any elections that Trump has fixated on."

FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

Can we please make him pay for lying? It's the only way this nonsense stops.

The president ‘commits five impeachable offences before breakfast’, party figures say — but are wary of a third failure to remove him and may target Pete Hegseth instead

Saw something about how there are loads of rightwingers in favour of free movement who don't seem to realise that'll mean EU citizens living and working here and I'm not sure they mind. The racism that's now apparently mainstream and acceptable abhors Muslims and anyone with the wrong skin colour.

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Jenrick has set out how Reform would maximise our “Brexit freedoms”. And this is their list. This is the very best they can come up with. “Re-legalise imperial units” It’s truly pathetic that this is the pinnacle of their Brexit fever dream. And that anyone would still back this ruinous idiocy…

Thank you to the hundreds of devoted supporters who were there to cheer me on at the press conference today.

Can't wait to read Liz Truss's new book.

Tonight we are witnessing a profound moral contradiction with an Israeli government facing credible allegations of genocide, being treated as a legitimate democratic partner by Western governments and endorsed by the USA for reelection.

It’s a fact that 70,000 were killed including 20,000 children. Probably more. What message are we giving our children? What world are we building? And why is this not the biggest talking point of the day?

Republican campaigns and PACs have spent nearly $3 million at President Trump’s businesses since he returned to office, according to a Post analysis. Spending at Mar-a-Lago has more than tripled compared with the same period of his first term.

This will go down as one of the most incredible screwups in recent campaign history, and it happened because brain-fried Republicans like Ramaswamy can't imagine that voters don't actually want politicians to be gigantic assholes. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/vivek-rama...

Private equity buys UK fertility clinics. PE already controls social care, hospitals, GP surgeries, dentistry, child fostering. Usual business model. High debt, quality of care declines, prices increase, high profits. When things go wrong, NHS has to step in, PE doesn't pay.

Me: "You've said 'because of the war' maybe 7 times..." Ex-Trump adviser: "Because it spiked prices..." Me: "But you're treating the war like it's a natural disaster... like it fell from the sky. The war was started by your guy, deliberately, a war of choice." Full: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLJV...

Elon Musk is dumping half a billion dollars into Republican races. Why? Because Democrats in Congress won’t be a rubber stamp for Donald Trump and will actually fight to lower costs.

People saying Trump has no health care plan are wrong. This is it 👇🏽

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

Monstrous beyond all reckoning. The US is using remote sensing *designed for humanitarian purposes* for the opposite purpose, potentially drowning civilians en masse. Trump hates Somalis. His troops appear to be exploiting the weather to help slaughter them. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Musk didn't just lie on his paperwork, he actively violated his student visa by opening two businesses and dropping out. One of his business ventures was an illegal underground casino. Send him back to Africa.
