I couldn’t agree more. Any chance of nationwide pro EU marches being organised @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social ? 🙂

Pro-Europeans really need to get their act together if they're going to sieze the opportunity which is being presented here. Press and broadcasters reverting right back to their previous position from 2016, with zero update.

@samiraahmeduk.bsky.social The Farage love-in at BBC News is, yet again, all over social media and BBC News' reputation sinks further every day. That's what they want, isn't it? Drive the rational away, shrink the audience and justify the cuts.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Nothing very Great or truly British about ReFuk and its money.

Merry Christmas, as in the other place.@hellobluesky5694.bsky.social

The Independent. 'True scale of Reform UK’s donations from overseas donors revealed 80 per cent of the money received by Reform UK from donations in the year 2025-26 has come from individuals or companies who have been based abroad in the past two years'

Is that £77,760,000 A DAY or is my maths off?

New Economics Foundation@neweconomics.bsky.social

HSBC made £900 every SECOND over the last three months. The case for taxing these bumper profits to support people with the cost of living crisis is overwhelming. Great to see our analysis featured in @mirror.co.uk 👇 www.mirror.co.uk/money/hsbc-b...

Farage tying himself in angry knots here ... as he refuses to answer the basic question: Is it racist to call Kemi Badenoch a "Nigerian scammer"?

Wasn’t it Deloitte that helped the Abramovich tax evasion scam?

Prem Sikka@premnsikka.bsky.social

CEO of scandal-ridden Deloitte gets 45% pay rise to £7.1m, 1,360 jobs cut. CEO pay = 93 times median employee pay. Firm doesn't pay employer NIC on profits shared by partners, worth £150,000 for £1m profit shared. £899m shared. 108 govt contracts in 2026, worth £650m. Friends in high places.

Replying to @iandunt.bsky.social

Oh ffs. MPs must stop romanticising this absolute horseshit. Brexiters promised a land of milk and honey and delivered contaminated water and broken biscuits. We don’t want it. And we mustn’t be tied to failure and lies just because politicians want to cover up the utter mess they’ve made.

Why are the people who accuse those talking about reversing Brexit of "living in the past" never asked about their own plans to rip up an international agreement that was first signed by the UK some 75 years ago?

It's a good job Suella Braverman claimed £45,000 for water bills on her parliamentary expenses. If she had failed to declare a ten quid overpayment on Universal Credit, she'd have been in serious trouble then.

The BBC needs to provide an explanation for this.

Reform Party UK Exposed@reformexposed.bsky.social

Yeah, this is getting absurd. Zero scrutiny. BBC News broadcasts Reform UK speeches in full without interruptions www.thenational.scot/news/2667178...

What genius on Sky News thought it was a good idea to have Truss on this morning ..still in full denial that the disaster was anything to do with her…

Reform thankfully slipping down the polls. But be aware with all those donations a major push to win votes is coming. If you don’t want Reform the only way out is #independence #areyouyesyet #yes #snp #indy #indyref

Bolsonaro has refused to concede defeat because of course he has. Always the same with these fashy dickheads. They accuse their opponents of cheating because their cheating didn't work this time. Every accusation is a confession. Always.

Farage threatened 70 million Turks coming here during brexit. Jenrick now threatening 240 million on their way. That's right wing inflation for you. #bbclaurak

Andy Burnham "Since Brexit our economy is weaker, our control of immigration is weaker and we need to have an honest conversation about that". Nigel Farage "only Reform will be able to control immigration". The latter received £5million for relentlessly campaigning for Brexit. Never forget that.

Doesn’t matter how you voted if you were front and centre in a Brexit government, actively overseeing the shrinking of our economy, our influence and our opportunities, while you rolled around in the trough. We’ll be disregarding everything you now say, thanks.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

First Orban, now Vučić. Both fundamentally undone by rank corruption of their regimes. Which is so often the reality of the authoritarian right in power. Really worth paying heed to in Western Europe right now

Wow. Vučić has conceded Serbian election. Massive moment for the entire Balkans
