Has Mike Johnson ever considered holding his daily presser an hour later to give him time to read a paper?

Q: What's your reaction to yesterday's purge of senior ICE officials? When is it time for Congress to do some oversight?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details of that yet. I just heard about that, literally I was walking in.

Can we please just fucking stop debating whether blatantly horrible racist things are racist or not? Everyone knows they’re racist, even the nasty arseholes who say them. If you need to fill your 24/7 channels, stick on some cartoons or something. People are getting hurt by this culture of evil.

Very thought-provoking. The primary information providers in the world are also the very few at the absolute top of the wealth chain. This affects how we communicate with each other. The top of the wealth chain used to be in banking, manufacturing, & transportation. What does this mean?

Good morning, friends. Our country is torn apart and our people will suffer.The party of pro-life has proven themselves to be nothing more than an evil cult of liars. I will fight for our children’s future until my last breath. Are you with me?

The amazing Prunella Scales, starring as Sybil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers. She is smoking a cigarette and holding a bonkbuster novel in her hand.

Spanish film idea. A woman sees her son wrongly imprisoned and immediately sets out to have him released. It's called Bye Juan, Get Juan Free.

The screening of Cathy Come Home in the 1960s should have seen off homelessness forever. It caused referberations.

But in the 1980s, Thatcher sold off oor Housing Stock & didn't let LAs use the receipts to replace them. She wanted to create more working class Tories

Here we are

Yes, a Reform government will be massively unpopular very quickly. But it will not matter. It will be too late.

JWexTheSpa @jwsidders.bsky.social · 5h

We now face the very real prospect of a party coming to government on 27% of the vote and then dismantling the flimsy firewalls protecting the UK's democracy to ensure it never loses power again. No ECHR, no independent judiciary or Electoral Commission, no broadcast impartiality rules etc etc.

The far-right and far-left united in believing Putin should be allowed to do what he wants. At least it makes sense for Reform. He is a fellow traveller. Sultana's appeasement is insane. Putin loathes - and would destroy - literally everything she claims to stand for.

There is always money for war, never for the poor.

Every penny spent on bombs, tanks and missiles is stolen from our homes, schools and hospitals.

We are not going to take it anymore.

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.

And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.

Here's Nick Griffin - British National Party leader in 2009 - complaining that the BBC Question Time audience he faced was "dominated by ethnic minorities."

He was criticised at the time by just about everyone.

Nowadays they'd be discussing what he meant on #R4today
