Mostly here for the politics and football. Pretty woke, hate injustice and oppression. Still think Brexit was a stupid idea. #FBPE. #LFC and Eastleigh Spitfires. Season ticket holder at both.

Possibly unpopular opinion - Farage’s ‘listen love’ moment should have been a much bigger deal, if not career ending. Especially as he’s spent all summer lecturing us about cultures which have a ‘medieval attitude towards women’.

Starmer’s answer to Davey’s call for a new customs union with the EU?

“I don’t think that is the way forward.”

Labour is - quite blatantly - condemning Brexit while refusing to address its most harmful aspects: self-exclusion from the single market and a customs union.
The Tories can shout at me all they like, but the truth is their Brexit deal it is hurting our country and Labour won’t do anything about it.

Today I urged the Prime Minister to actually fix it.

We need to remove the cancer in the Oval Office to restore funding to children’s cancer research.
Pretty much all of the countries at the top of the happiness index have higher taxes, which pay for better social provision, & lower wealth inequality which reduces the numbers of people left behind. The very wealthy fear both those things, so pay politicians & media to convince people they're bad.

George Ryan, aged 23, can be seen at the base of Nelson's column on one of the plinths. He's the "African sailor" and had been pressed into service in Deptford in 1803.

So the RN was no bastion of liberal values. But history is far more interesting than those dullard nationalists will ever know.

Bravo @privateeyenews.bsky.social - a comprehensive report on how a regional mayor allowed 2 private businessmen to make up to potentially £1bn from Teesside - taxpayer has put in £650million

For…what?

It’s an absolute indictment on Government failures to investigate

Pleased to be part of this hugely significant legal challenge. The Boris Johnson Govt first suppressed the Russia report & then refused to act on it. As evidence mounts of Putin’s hybrid warfare, it’s vital that we can be confident in the robustness of our democratic systems

Nelson's Victory crew included a Brazilian and a Russian, 2 Indians, 2 Swiss, 2 Portuguese, 3 Danes and 3 Norwegian sailors. There were 3 Germans, 4 Italians, 6 Swedes, 7 Dutchmen, 9 West Indians and an African, as well as 21 Americans, 63 Irish, 64 Scots, 441 English.... oh, and 3 French men, too.
One day a journalist will ask him how to reduce a price more than 100% - and he will either say 'that's a nasty question' or try and answer the question and further confirm he's an idiot. I'm going for the second option.
President Trump, "I'm bringing prices down 600%, 700%, 900%, 200%"

He wouldn’t even condemn Israel’s killing of British aid workers.
The fact Starmer has spoken up more for some foreign football hooligans than British citizens captured in international waters a few weeks ago speaks volumes

The fact IDS is an idiot who doesn't check his own 'facts' does make him an easy target for ridicule.

Things Trump thinks America can afford:
- $20bn for Argentina
- $172m for Noem's private jets
- $500m to refurb the plane Qatar gifted him
- $250m to deface the Whitehouse and install a tacky ballroom

Things Trump thinks America can't afford:
- pretty much anything which helps ordinary Americans
Trump’s Argentina bailout once again puts Americans last

With the government paralyzed and Americans’ pocketbooks reeling, the White House is giving a $20 billion bailout to an ideological ally of Trump and Elon Musk.
