And then launch into a scathing attack on the prize itself and how it’s so over, judged by losers and nobody takes any notice of it anymore…before announcing his own ‘hot’ new peace prize and announce himself the inaugural winner 🤷‍♂️

This is how you take the fight to Reform.

Well played.

Always bring the receipts.

Happy birthday to my friend and colleague Nigel Farage aka Mr Brexit.

Too perfect.

Simply cannot wait for the inevitable meltdown.

Trump has been snubbed for the Nobel Prize in favour of someone who actually deserves it…I’m guessing he will not take it well 🤷‍♂️

That’s all they have..that’s literally it.

Their answer to anything is immigration.

They fall to bits when faced with the most basic of truths..every single time.

BladeoftheSun @bladeofthes.bsky.social · 18h

Audience member rips apart Zia Yusuf's obsession with immigration, all the problems are due to austerity.

He challenges Yusuf to speak about other issues.

Yusuf lasts less than 2 seconds, all he and Reform have is, "Immigrants bad!"

Hear hear.

BladeoftheSun @bladeofthes.bsky.social · 19h

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear.

Like I said..this is very very good.

Labour could learn a few lessons..although I think it’s too late for them now.

Starmer has infested the Labour Party we once knew with a right wing cancer that had wiped almost all of the good that the party once represented out.

Time for a change..a new left.

Zack Polanski,
"The only way to be morally consistent is to condemn what happened on Oct 7th and to condemn the genocide in Palestine"

"As a Jewish man I feel the genocide very very deeply"

This is good.

This is very very good.

Polanskis got them rattled..and he’s handling their bullshit brilliantly.

He’s got something going here..and it’s massively needed.

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

Colour me shocked.

Trump knows this too…peace president, don’t make me laugh.

Anonymous @youranoncentral.bsky.social · 19h

As a show of sincere commitment to Trump’s so called “Gaza Peace Deal,” Israel is continuing to bomb civilians through out the night.

Shaun Brennan @shaunbrennan82.bsky.social · 19h

Interesting how this England midfield will develop before the next World Cup:
Rice will obviously start but by next year Anderson and Wharton could well play themselves into it..and Cole Palmer has to be in the plans if he can stay fit, Rodgers too.
Could Bellinghams starting place be a doubt?

Shaun Brennan @shaunbrennan82.bsky.social · 20h

Oh this is absolutely glorious.

The greatest anti Tory article you could ever imagine..and it’s from the Mail.

Labour in their wildest dreams could not come up with a greater smear of their rivals.

Sensational stuff 😂😂😂

The photography in this article really feels like The Times are deliberately setting these people up for ridicule. (You can read it without visiting The Times here archive.ph/KZZC1)

An article from The Times: "Meet the young Tories dreaming of a bright blue future". Featuring bizarre portraits of Charles Amos, Rhys Benjamin and Daniel Campbell.

Shaun Brennan @shaunbrennan82.bsky.social · 20h

Outstanding 👏

Done more for the demise of the Tory Party in 1 article than years of Labour propaganda ever could.

Sensational 😂😂😂😂

Jesus..just when you thought these scumbags couldn’t possibly sink any lower up turns Jenrick trying again to out Farage Farage himself.

How low this country has sunk.

The shame.

Adam Schwarz @adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 21h

They lionised a woman for calling for hotels full of asylum seekers to be set on fire. Now they're lionising a man who set fire to a Quran in public.

The far-right, whether it's Reform UK or Conservatives, are championing the cause of those who will violently tear our society apart.

Reprehensible.

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.

Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device.

The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled

A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.

Bang on the money.

This is no peace deal, not by a long shot.

The Scales ⚖️ @shakethescales.bsky.social · 21h

Palestinians agreed, as Israel stands on their neck with a loaded gun pointed at their face, Trump gurning in the background, that all hostages will be released in exchange for Israel withdrawing from less than half of the Gaza Strip. This is not negotiation; it is holding an entire people hostage.

It’s happening.

Make no mistake..they will invoke the insurrection act, and it will be their reichstag moment.

Civil war is upon America.

Jay Kuo @nycjayjay.bsky.social · 21h

There’s a lot of talk about “insurrection” coming from the White House, which has led many to predict that they are considering invoking the Insurrection Act. What plans are afoot, and what would that look like if it happened? My write-up in the replies.

That he used his brother to try and maintain an image of a ‘good man’ for so long is what’s truly disgusting.
Shown his true colours the past few years..they always do.
Cowards to a man.

Shaun Brennan @shaunbrennan82.bsky.social · 21h

I know mate, it’s sad but you’re right they’ve always been there but only now are they bold enough to show themselves under this banner of ‘patriotism’ fuelled by the likes of cunts like Farage and Robinson.
I listen to them daily in work and it’s exhausting
Yeah mate one gobshite that, utter coward
