If this Labour government had even the scintilla of any political nous it would now be showing pictures of some of those the Conservatives and Reform claim they'll deport. From the famous sports players to the people who keep public services running.

I've never known anyone so fucked up as Trump. He's psychotic, infantile, cowardly and vindictive at the same time. The only parallels lie in history books, horror stories, and legends from the Bible or the Brothers Grimm: He's Caligula, Herod, Freddie Krueger and Rumpelstiltskin rolled into one.

Big corporate law firms such as those are so utterly shameless and devoid of any morality/ethics. They do a few pro bono hours for publicity and to try and ease their guilty conscious for all the shady dealings. I have worked at 2 on that list previously. So glad not to be in that sector anymore

Doubt anything will happen. Seems racism is not the crime it used to be. It's almost encouraged in most parts of the media and by a large section of the electorate/parliament. Sad times

Better he called her love than the alternative. He had to bite his lip not to call her the p word and tell her to go home.

Vile lying racist piece of shit. I can't believe how low we have sunk in recent years to even entertain the possibility of him as PM.

‘This is not harmless; it is a distortion of democracy by endlessly platforming Farage and granting him spectacle status. The press has manufactured legitimacy for a man and a party that has done almost nothing to earn it.’

I've had the pleasure of being interviewed by Mishal Husain three times. One of the most intelligent and accomplished people I've ever met.

Here's Nigel Farage trying to shut her down with the words "Listen, love ..." like it was still the 1970s. I'd say it was unbelievable, only it isn't.

Why is the Reform Party's Russian links not a major news story?

Hardeep Matharu @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social · 2d

Given how much the China spy case has dominated headlines, it really does beg the question: why is our political-media class so uninterested in Nathan Gill, his Russian bribes, his once close associate Nigel Farage, and Reform UK?

India doing what it does best, killing it's people. It must lead the world in avoidable deaths.

Shameless crooks running the country do not care for their people at all. Simply enrich themselves and their friends similar to the USA these days.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

It's telling that Vance's first instinct following the Politico leak was to tell his sons to be wary of what they write in group chats--to assume “some scumbag is going to leak it in an effort to try to cause you harm.”

His message here is basically--be racist; just don't get caught.

Vance said he planned to warn his children—“especially my boys”—to be cautious about what they share in group chats or online, advising them to assume “some scumbag is going to leak it in an effort to try to cause you harm or cause your family harm.”
