Typical BBCR4 crap on PM. Asks Voxpop “What are you looking out for in the budget tomorrow” Punter “tax cuts” Why are they not following up with “which services do you anticipate to see cut to pay for it?”

The Week in Trump

Russ Jones@russincheshire.bsky.social

Trump has imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court, and while his kids "negotiate" a Ukrainian peace deal, he's paying Putin to breach sanctions. Hegseth is live-streaming an execution by firing squad, and gave the UFC a binding contract to train the US military in hand to hand combat.

BBC has Trump arse licker Sarah Elliot on today. This is the woman who’s husband was Chief Exec of Vote Leave which funnelled American money in. An atrocious woman.

I’ve done 28 hours crossing the channel on a small boat on my own, and I can tell you it’s scary. I had the luxury of a stove and oven, a toilet, navigation equipment, VHF radio, and a YM qualification, but it’s still a challenge. I would have wanted to spend 30 hours on an inflatable.

I’m guessing the football season must have started, as I’m seeing random posts about something called var, and coy(c) all weekend. These people must assume I’m watching these men kicking the ball around, but I couldn’t be any less interested, so I’ve unfollowed a few. No doubt more soon.

Shadow chancellor Andrew Griffith says he would inherit a terrible economy if Tories win in 2028. That would be the party which left £2.7trillion government debt which swallows 10% of all the tax we pay just to make the interest payments. #r4today

Hey, Americans, I was called for my AAA this morning. We all get one around the age of 65. I received an appointment by text from the NHS a couple of weeks ago. I went this morning and was there for 20 minutes. 18mm. All good. Went home. No payment required.

Nick Robinson demeans himself asking questions which make out that he can’t understand the difference between millions of workers donating to politics and an individual donation. #R4today

The video starts with a Luton box van disgorging a contingent of paramilitaries dressed, in effect, in identical uniform with balaclava ski masks. NB. The "cpayne.com" on the box van back is actually "jcpayne.com", a commercial vehicle bodybuilders based in Aldridge, West Midlands. Nothing more.

As the CIA Director has left Moscow, I can only conclude his visit signals that US intelligence perceives the threat that Russia is seriously preparing for an armed confrontation with a NATO member to be substantial. We are perilously close to Article 5 territory now.

I’m sure I just heard a Tory on BBC Any Questions accuse Burnham of ‘running out of other people’s money they way he’s spending’ - the same party which raised government debt from £900b to £2.7t over 14 years, the interest on which uses 10% of all the tax we pay.

Kasatonov in the Great Belt once more. Again the flag is up. Photo: Henrik B. Knudsen www.facebook.com/groups/15255... Flag was not up in Fehmeren Belt, as far as I can tell mu.social/profile/kiel...

I hear dopey Helen Whately has a new cruel policy to put right something the Tories created, with Thatcher, and presided over for 14 years and did nothing about - because it’s all the fault of Labour who inherited these problems two years ago.

Channel 5 now. Care home owners spending £millions extending their multi £million home. Maybe the government should look at the cost of care homes if such huge wealth comes from them.

Maybe our economy would see growth if fewer people were employed to write shite about why the economy isn’t growing, and produce something of value instead. The lengths to which some people will go to avoid working for the country never ceases to amaze me.

WATO interviewing a raving lunatic from Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’. What an arsehole. Basically, Palestinians are to become Jews. Worth listening to on Sounds.

Here's a man who'd too stubborn or daft to listen to the content of a podcast he's openly arguing about from the position of ignorance.

Here’s a man that hopes I get nuked to death because I don’t think disability benefits should be cut to fund war. The sensibles are back in the room, guys!

They've actually got people commenting on things they haven't listened to and thus telling lies.

They’ve actually got people believing Russian tanks will be here soon 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣

“FIFA has launched an investigation” “The Whitehouse has launched an investigation” “The IDF has launched an investigation” Narrator: the investigations were never concluded.
