He started it. He fucked it all up. He lied & lied & lied & lied about it. He made them stronger. He made us weaker. He surrendered. He lost. And then he gave them billions & billions & billions. MAGA, MAGA.

So turns out the threats to Starmer’s house were from Russians. Guess who visits Russia and takes coin from them… Yaxley Lennon is an unpatriotic fraud and a grifter

BREAKING: United States becomes the first country in history to pay $300 billion to a country they defeated 50 times in one war.

I love that he's just in the queue like an ordinary punter but also in classic Gordon dress down holiday - a formal shirt and trousers

Of course, I am happy that the Strait of Hormuz will soon be open. That's a good outcome for the entire global economy. But the Strait was opened before the war. We did not need a war to keep it open.

Many of those "foreign nationals" will have kids who were born in this country. I've yet to hear from Matt and his party where they stand on making children (British children!) homeless, and threatening to deport their parents.

HE STARTED THE WAR, you stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid motherfucker.

Roy Hattersley was a giant of the Labour movement. Through decades of service, including as deputy leader and a minister, he never lost his belief in a more equal Britain. My thoughts are with his wife Maggie and his family.

Very sad. Labour through and through, a fine mind and gifted writer, a loyal and hard working deputy to Neil at a vital time in Labour history, and a critical friend to New Labour. Sheffield Wednesday to the very end! RIP Roy

83% of British people are white 87% of MPs are white 92% of Police officers are white 94% of the House of Lords are white 85% of Britains richest families are white The notion that Britain experiences systemic anti-white racism is absurd It’s a far-right conspiracy

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

Yep, all you need to do is inherit your dad’s emerald mine, anyone can do it.

🚨 BREAKING: Manchester United legend Lou Macari has been awarded an MBE in the King’s Birthday Honours. The former United striker has been recognised for his outstanding work with the Macari Foundation, which has helped tackle homelessness in Stoke-on-Trent over the past decade. A fantastic honour for a true footballing great 👏

I must confess to being a bit emotional this morning at the news of a knighthood for Kevin Sinfield. I’ve always called him ‘Sir Kev’ and it’s hard to think of a man more deserving. He showed us all what it is to be a friend. What it means to step up when people need you and he did it all for his mate ❤️ After he carried Rob across the line in the Leeds marathon someone sent me this poem anonymously and I kept it on my phone. They called it ‘Arise Sir Kev’… When shadows gathered, and hearts would break Kev knew it was time to take… One step, another, through wind and rain, Carrying hope, despite the pain. He never stopped, mile after mile, Driven by loyalty, strength… a smile. For Rob, his friend, he aim was true Showing us all, what friendship can do. Not measured in trophies, applause, or fame… But turning up, again and again. And in every mile he chose to run, He showed us how friendship is truly done.

So a man who served time for assault on two police officers including a female is one of your heroes - says it all

RT @Hepworthclare: Ha! Astonishing isn't it ? Senior Tories now heaping praise on Healey & Carns , lauding them as principled heroes. Yep.…

This is the kind of thing that was said about the Jews in the 1930s. It is not hyperbolic to say that degrading an entire culture leads us to a very dark place. Reform are playing with fire right now trying to stop themselves being outflanked by the extremists of Restore.

Badenoch chasing Farage; Farage chasing Lowe; Lowe chasing Robinson. All chasing one another in a downward, self-defeating and ugly spiral.
