The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters. A.G
Reform is threatening Bangor University over a student society’s decision. The society isn’t Bangor University—but this is a neat preview of how a Reform government would work: public money for supporters only. Trump-style politics, UK edition.

Authoritarian reflex is already working just fine.👇

Starmer needs to acknowledge he didn’t win a huge mandate — the Tories collapsed, so Labour strolled in.
Corbyn actually lost with more votes.

What did McSweeney do next? Advise Labour into the lowest poll ratings in its history.

So spare us the tears over McSweeney’s resignation.
👇🙄

Call it a blind spot. Call it being way too close to my own neck to stop defending the indefensible.
Still, it’s toe-curling to watch Trump’s minions back him no matter what.

Watching Nora Lee Notzon Trump ally defends what no decent person would even attempt.👇😔

Yes, McSweeney should go. But what does that say about Starmer clinging to his job? If he won’t take responsibility for his own appointments, why should he stay? Accountability starts at the top—and that’s where it’s missing.

Trump’s past week:
Top name in the Epstein files.
Crypto deals with the Emirates.
Suing the IRS, the US Treasury and Trevor Noah.
Don Lemon arrested for turning up at protest.
The Kennedy Center closed to be rebranded as the DJ Trump Center.
Posting images like this.👇

Seriously — what will it take?
February 7, 2026 at 9:46 AM
Ah yes, the political vision of Reform supporters: an old man gawping at an AI-generated young girl serving an Australian beer, earnestly arguing this is the cure for Britain.

Churchill would be proud.

Baron Foulkes: Why stripped Mandelson of his peerage?
Why indeed when Mone and Lebedev are happily sipping champagne in the very same “club.”
🤔 wouldn’t the obvious solution be to strip all of them of their peerages?
Too radical? Or just inconvenient for people who benefit from the rot?
February 4, 2026 at 9:31 AM
Mandelson is now under investigation.

But the real scandal isn’t his judgement — it’s Keir Starmer’s.

What does it say about his leadership that he elevated the “Prince of Darkness” to US ambassador? If this passed Starmer’s due diligence, it’s a warning about the standards he’s willing to accept.

Julia Hartley-Brewer once again lobbing red meat at her brain-dead fan club.
Today’s hot take:
“Just give away your house!”
Says this while sneering at Billie Eilish—who’s already donated £11.5m to food equity and climate justice.
Eilish's view from her ivory tower is very clear.🤨

Matt Goodwin’s campaign: Britain First (checks notes… Israel First) and please vote for me so Starmer loses his job.

Hannah Spencer’s campaign: NHS, housing, transport, cost of living. Boring. Also known as reality.

This is just a snippet of a superb @zackpolanski.bsky.social interview.

Laura’s tired gotcha attempts went nowhere, while Polanski raised the bar with every answer.

We’ve waited a long time for a political leader with empathy, honesty, and clarity.
#bbclaurak asks @zackpolanski.bsky.social, doesn't opposing genocide stir up division?

Mystery solved, according to Laila no more debate needed.🙄
“I already debated you on the one policy Reform pretends to care about, so there’s no need for Nigel to debate again.”
Because once you’ve shouted about immigration, the UK is magically fixed. NHS, housing, cost of living? Tiny side quests.

After Carney and Macron, Starmer is now in China strengthening ties.

Right-wingers are furious—yet they’re fine with Trump trashing allies and turning the US into an unreliable partner.
Meanwhile, while Starmer’s in China, where’s Farage? Naturally, at a private party in Dubai.
January 29, 2026 at 9:10 AM
Llandudno was one of the big beneficiaries of EU funding.

Today, Farage — a man who helped drive Llandudno’s decline — turns up to warn you it’s on the edge of a cliff.

Yes, the arsonist is back, claiming that if you just vote for him, he’ll save the building he helped burn down.
January 28, 2026 at 8:06 AM
History’s already shown us: give power to a would-be dictator and everyone loses.

Want a preview of how that ends? Orwell put it perfectly:
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever.”

Look at the US.

Do we really want that here?
Look at the USA. Do you want the same style of state sponsored terrorism, censorship, hate and greed running controlling you? The US population is starting to wake up. Resist or live in tyranny

Stupid is as stupid does.

Brainless votes for Brexit — country wrecked.

Brainless votes for a known liar, Boris Johnson, who lied, lied again, trashed the place, then legged it.

And now you’re hell-bent on voting Reform?
Fool me once....Fool me three times you’ve proved it: 100% zero brain cells.
January 27, 2026 at 8:50 AM
I know I keep writing about this,but the level of delusion is staggering. How do so many people think Reform will 'save the country' when it’s led by defected Tories from the worst cabinet in UK history?It’s not change, just same failures,new logo,and people cheering like it’s a revival,not a rerun.
January 26, 2026 at 11:25 PM
Suella Braverman defecting to Reform.

Who saw that coming?

Everyone.

Reform is just the worst of the Tory cabinet in a new costume, wheeled out by Farage and sold as ‘change’.
So if you’re voting Reform, give your head a wobble — it’s the same people who wrecked the country, back for another go.
January 26, 2026 at 3:50 PM
Keir Starmer blocking Andy Burnham isn’t leadership — it’s cowardice.
He’s putting his own job, job that he's doing badly, ahead of the country and the party. Once again, no vision, just self-preservation.
If he carries on like this, he won’t stop Farage — he’ll hand him power.
January 26, 2026 at 9:51 AM
A Reform councillor openly backing ICE, the kind of masked squads critics around the world link to abductions and repression.
Aligning with authoritarian tactics should disqualify anyone from office. If this is what they cheer abroad, what will they normalise here if given power?👇
January 26, 2026 at 9:38 AM
What a snivelling display from the right wingers,so relieved by Trump’s limp walk-back that they’re tripping over themselves to thank him.
Saying the opposite of what you said yesterday isn’t an apology.
It sets nothing straight, acknowledges no NATO sacrifices, &there’s nothing honourable about it.

There’s literal video footage of Trump repeatedly mixing up Iceland with Greenland.
And yet Katherine Lewit, proudly channeling Trump’s unhinged chaos and insists “no, that’s not what he said.”
So every time you rewatch the clip, you’re forced to gaslight yourself like, wait… am I the crazy one?👇😳

Europe’s strategy of appeasing Trump has failed.
How much longer will the EU tolerate Trum's- my way or the high(tax)way approach?
When does compromise become capitulation?
Mark Carney gets it exactly right:
“Middle powers must act together — because if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.”
January 21, 2026 at 1:15 PM
Trump sent a note to Norway’s PM saying that since they didn’t give him the Nobel Peace Prize, he could now justify owning Greenland!? 🤯

That’s not diplomacy — that’s a tantrum.
Being held hostage by a sociopath isn’t strength or tough-guy cosplay; it’s just immature madness. 👇😳
