Hardly squares with the christian morality they profess to have. The lack of consideration Jenrick and his type have for anyone else's ethics or morality is staggering. Whatever happened to that basic rule of leadership, don't expect anyone to do anything you're not prepared to do yourself?

This is where we are at. The U.S. was the only one to oppose… 😡 #Pinks

Putin claims NATO provoked Russia by expanding eastward. In reality, the former victims of Russian imperialism turned westward. They rushed to join NATO because they sought security against Russia. NATO does not pose a threat to Russia. NATO offers protection against Russia.

£72 million buys lots of leaflets making sure you never think to #BlameMillionairesNotMigrants or demand the government #TaxTheRich to end poverty, homelessness ... "Reform are part of the establishment and not a party for the working class – it's not a level playing field" via The UK Against Hate

How will this country hope to halt its decline, let alone move forward, while we accept the promotion of hatred for profit? The grift isn't to protect jobs, women or children. It's to line select people's pockets, boost their egos and distract poor people who are being ripped off.

Yeah, that's the leader you want... so engrossed in himself that in important conversations he's given the appearance of attention while approving things he's not understood... ...or he could just be lying to everyone to protect himself.

It took 5 minutes to figure out this bullshit, mainstream media is still pretending it’s an organic protest group — 0 work done by anyone. Where the fuck is MI5? Scotland Yard? This should have been shut down right out of the gate.

So proud of their views, and so believing that they have popular support, they have to mask up to express those views! Views like this, behaviour like this, is as dangerous to this country as stage four cancer is to a human body. If you don't understand that, you're not paying enough attention.

It's impossible to overstate how amazing this was when it first aired... ...and to paraphrase from Shakespeare... "Age cannot wither them, nor custom stale their infinite variety" #TheMuppetShow

BBC News (at least as far as politics is concerned) seems to have given up on balance and has joined the ranks of organisations dedicated to division rather than unity. They are so timid, so afraid of the anger of people who will only ever hate them, that they have given up on the rest of us.

I'm so grateful to everyone in Clacton for re-electing me. As a thankyou, we are going to abolish Personal Independence Payments, which will be fantastic for the 10,000 disabled people who live in my constituency.

So grateful is Nigel Farage to the people of Clacton for being a prop in his little ego-trip that his first response to re-election was to scrap a payment that goes to more than 10% of his working age constituents. 🙄 When will the penny drop for his 'supporters' that he doesn't care about them?

Farage is all image and perception, a triumph of vibes over substance. Standing on a stage with a satirical candidate who has taken a big chunk out of his credibility would do more damage than a parliamentary inquiry. That's his ultimate fear... becoming the punchline!

That intensity of opposition mattered less under Starmer as the left were more divided, but if Burnham is able to unite the left and win over some Reform waverers Farage’s challenge becomes harder. It also allows Tories to make argument Reform will always be blocked and only they can win on right.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

I guess we’ve finally found a bank the British government won’t rescue.

I regret to inform you that we have reached the “Broadmoor is a holiday camp” stage of right-wing discourse.

I can’t take Andy Burnham as PM seriously. Someone democratically elected is persuaded to stand down so that he can become an MP. Not democratic imo. It’s very much taking advantage of a loop hole & obviously there were back room negotiations. And then, just like that he is PM! Madness!

Reform UK's Zia Yusuf is currently delivering a speech accusing his party's critics of using language that will put his colleagues' lives at risk. In other news, here's Zia Yusuf two months ago

Welcome to Day 539 of "Donald Trump runs a protection racket" 🤷

If I were Nigel Farage, I’d dip into that £5 million crypto gift just to fund a video that can compete with this! 🤣 HILARIOUS ⬇️

In politics, we’re torn between ideals and practicalities, aspirations and realities, the world as we want it, and as we find it But one day a manifesto comes along that reconciles both in every pledge. A rare moment of clarity and hope

Basically any match the USMNT wins from here on in at this World Cup will now be open to some degree of suspicion. The World Cup, and FIFA specifically, is even more tainted than it was before... and I didn't think that was possible!

Honestly don't know if the poster is being thick or sarcastic... 🤔

Trump has just thanked FIFA for allowing USA to play 13 players against Belgium .

But Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp said Labour "should be putting illegal immigrants on a plane home rather than messing around with military camps and hotels". How many more times Philp? Asylum Seekers and Illegal Immigrants are NOT the same thing!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Watch as a shadow causes Tesla self-driving v14.3.4 to swerve onto the wrong side of the road, forcing the driver to disengage! Elon Musk’s defective software should be banned from public roads.

Says the most professional of professional politicians. Leader of not 1, not 2 but 3 political parities and before that he was a Tory. Stood 8 times for parliament and served 5 terms in the European Parliament. Farage is the establishment. Never let him tell you otherwise.

I’m not a proportional representation nut but it is worth noting today that the only prime minister recently to last a full electoral term headed a two party coalition government Objectively, the first-past-the-post gives you stability and strong government argument has gone out the window

In a twist that will surprise nobody, Andy Burnham was markedly less enthusiastic about political coronations when it was the Tories indulging in them (this from when Sunak came in).

This sums up the immigration debate neatly in a way you won't hear it spelled out in the British media. A media which seems to have given up on any commitment to educate many years ago.

Just listening to @jonsopel1.bsky.social on @thenewsagents.co.uk and HORRIFIED at his buying into the notion that changing PMs frequently should be normalised!! @thenewsagents.co.uk has had more time than Keir Starmer but with this drivel passing for analysis I think I'll change my podcast habits.🤬

So, Carla Lockhart of the DUP thinks responsibility for Belfast violence sits with the govt approach to migration. Not people who perpetrated the violence, because she needs THEM to vote for her party. Not Ulster politicians either. Funny how "pretend politicians" always find someone ELSE to blame!

ICYMI there’s a radio drama series by @juliansimpson.bsky.social adapting Lovecraft novels into present-day true-crime/conspiracy podcasts, starting with the case of CDW. It’s pretty good; they’re fundraising for Call of Cthulhu now: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lov... www.backerkit.com/c/projects/j...

Best head to the BOOKSHOP. Research beckons. ❤️

It has now been 10 weeks and three days since Nigel Farage last turned up to vote in the House of Commons

Dave, Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Titch.

My off air politics were too much for BBC - they never played a part in how I presented the Infinite Monkey Cage but I was told they damaged the BBC’s “journalistic integrity” - I was not a BBC journalist - now look at Robbie Gibb’s utterly acceptable career flipping between BBC journalism & Tories

So, nothing new about @greenparty.org.uk after all. Who give a crap about there being two parties or twenty? It's all just political bubble nonsense? BBC News - Polanski says two-party politics 'dead' after election gains for Greens www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
