Making everyday count
Trump meant to say, "But I don't like it when somebody goes into a protest and he's got a very powerful, fully loaded camera with 256gb loaded up with data”.

If ever a picture was an oxymoron, perhaps two oxymorons.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Listening to the lad from Birmingham, not a bad idea boycotting the World Cup. Probably not workable but fans in Europe could definitely decide not to go and that would have the same effect of financially damaging the US and make Trump look a failure for his behaviour.

So Trump is now threatening to take military action against his own people. Bet he won’t solve that one in a day.

So Trump says to Iran- ‘Help is on its way’. To Minnesota- ‘The day of reckoning and retribution is coming’. Not sure anyone in America voted for this!

Rather than do his f*cking job or go to parliament, Farage will do a podcast during PMQs because he thinks he’ll have no right of reply in PMQs, despite politicians always asking questions. Always disingenuous grifting clown.

@edconway.bsky.social you should be watching BBC coverage pre Budget and post leak. Pretty positive for consumers. Maybe lose the negative stuff and turn over to it, I did, it’s what the public wants to hear.

Don’t remember your emphasis on big in Liz Truss’s budget and that was huge and full of jeopardy! @bethrigby.bsky.social

When I think of Boris Johnson I just think of two numbers - 23,000 & 350.

How can you do a u-turn when a decision hasn’t been made yet? Total non-story, Westminster bollocks stuff.
Top story my arse.

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job.

To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

A big win for people more outraged by a silly edit at the BBC than by a man impeached by Congress for literally inciting an insurrection being back in the White House. Pathetic.
🔴 Breaking I Davie faced mounting criticism that a Panorama documentary misled viewers by editing a speech by Donald Trump

Trump is all over the news this morning for the enormous help and favour he is granting Hungary whilst his own people go hungry! No SNAP benefits but benefits for Putin. Make Who Great Again (MWGA)

@edconway.bsky.social Hi Ed, watching your energy cost chart for industry this morning, what impact re other countries do our costs have that make us so high, ie privatised companies here with shareholders to consider? France I understand is state run.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social James please upload Mark the Lawyer’s call just now to video. He summed up everything that is wrong with the racism rhetoric from Trump and why the country shouldn’t give up.

This guy Trump may also claim to be a golf aficionado, however he probably thinks Tiger Woods was a place invented by Rudyard Kipling!
Trump on hostages in Gaza: "You even see it with Germany, where people would be let into a house and live in an attic in secret."
