I read a lot of books and watch a lot of tv, talk about politics and admire beautiful art & photography. I post about all these things.
The people who made a mess of so many things over the course of 14 years whining on about how Britain is broken will never not be ridiculous.

They were voted out less than 2 years ago. It makes no sense to vote for these same people again because they've changed the shade of blue on their rosette.

Jeez, sorry, but that's pathetic & lazy.

Are we supposed to believe he spoke like this when he went to Brentwood School?

A selective, independent day and boarding school. Founded in 1557 the school has a Tudor schoolroom, a Victorian chapel and several Grade II listed buildings.

Reform, the party of the fake working class.

Love it. I'm so glad they stuck together. The faithfuls left didn't deserve it.❤️

Does he think we've forgotten about this? Because we haven't.

These unelected Peers can claim an allowance of £361 for every day they turn up. They do not have to vote, speak, or do any work beyond entering the building in order to be able to claim this money. They can also claim travel expenses.

Man of the people Nigel Farage pockets £91,200 from Direct Bullion.....which he somehow forgot to declare. I wonder how many of his constituents in Clacton can afford to buy from them? 🤔

Joani Reid & Kemi Badenoch happy to meet & defend Sandi Peggy in the last few days. Here's a reminder of the horrendous jokes she told (but apparently denies). It just goes to show that some people will ignore all kinds of horrid behaviour if the person they are defending hates trans people more.

The Heartland Institute is an American conservative and libertarian think tank founded in 1984. The Institute has been a leading voice in questioning the severity and human causes of climate change, arguing that it is not a crisis and may even be beneficial.

The poster deleted this shortly after.

This was a total waste of money, wasn't it?

Anas Sarwar can apologise all his likes, but this isn't just a 'mistake' or an 'admin error'. Someone in his party made up this whole quote & put it on a leaflet.

Claire Fleming told BBC Radio Scotland's Drivetime programme: "Not a single thing that is written there is anything I have ever said."

"Its no go, its not right, its dishonorable"

Farage seems to have changed his tune these days on MPs jumping ship to another party without having a by-election.

Right along on schedule, I'm afraid.

Someone should let Richard Tice know about the awful things his buddy/boss had allegedly said about Jewish people at Dulwich College. #reform

Hey #BBC, why are you giving airtime to this 'best pal' of Jeffrey Epstein? #BBCLauraK

Has Lammy seen the news in the last few days?

These 3 images were posted on the UK Labour Instagram account, calling them their 2026 Vision Boards.

Well, I guess we know which team they regard as the most important at the World Cup, huh?

Rhea Seehorn should have had more award recognition for Better Call Saul so it's great to see her winning for #Pluribus.

Surely it's incredibly odd that this op was run from Mar-a-lago? How on earth would that be deemed secure?
And how much is Trump charging the US taxpayers for doing so?
January 4, 2026 at 2:27 PM
There are a lot of US troops in Europe as of June 2025...just saying.
January 4, 2026 at 12:40 PM
What a load of bullshit from this Trump toady.

a) 'unorthodox' and 'contrary' are mealy mouthed words to use about such a serious issue.

b) Russia & China are more likely to be rubbing their hands together, saying if you can do this, why can't we?

In the Holyrood elections, Reform, aided by a huge donation from a Thai based businessman, are going to be spending a lot of money.

Nigel Farage knows nothing & cares even less about Scotland & neither, I'd presume does Christopher Harborne. I don't get why anyone would vote for them 🤷‍♀️.
