If he has nothing to hide he doesn’t need a House vote. He can just release everything.

"People like you voted for Bill Clinton, you stood by Bill Clinton"

Ma'am, I was 7 years old the last time Bill Clinton was on a ballot.

My only feelings on him were I'd get mad when I'd come home to watch Days of Our Lives and my mom would tell me it'd been preempted by his sex scandal again.

Also big important redistricting in Huntsville? That set a SCOTUS precedent? Dismiss red states at your peril and understand who you’re abandoning when you do
I worked for both the House Dems in the AL state legislature and the Black caucus and those people worked harder with less than any blue state Dems I worked with

Just in the past 3 days, I happened to speak to an academic, a US politician and a former Biden official who had all received death threats and severe harassment from the MAGA movement. It's now a common experience. I am sorry MTG has to live through the same thing, but she can't be surprised
MTG: “.. “I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. .. The man I supported and helped get elected.”

To be fair if you asked me which story has a bigger effect on my day-to-day life….. 😂

The most telling thing here is that he doesn’t even consider Democratic representatives and senators legitimate enough to count. He just acts like they don’t exist

Yeah, those twists felt a little self indulgent because they were all orchestrated by the producers lol

I wanted to see plot twists the housemates created, like talking in code or Caroline nominating Zelah. Stir that pot. Get messy

I also fancy Richard's brother #bbuk
November 14, 2025 at 11:12 PM
Richard winning has me in tears. I'm turning 40 next year and my life is in shambles. It's nice to know that there are still adventures to have #bbuk

"Goodnight, Richard" - awww that's so sweet! #bbuk
November 14, 2025 at 10:21 PM
This is so true! ITV2 skews soooooo young haha. It says something about this generation that someone as sweet and kind and wholesome wins #bbuk
The least ITV2 demographic winner ever. Amazing. #bbuk

#bbuk awww bless him, well deserved win after everything he had to deal with for weeks on end. He's so sweet, I love him

Genuinely surprised by my reaction, but when Richard was announced as the winner I actually started clapping in my living room #bbuk
November 14, 2025 at 10:07 PM
I won't be mad either way, but a Richard win at this point would be satisfying #bbuk
November 14, 2025 at 10:05 PM
I genuinely don't know who is going to win #bbuk
November 14, 2025 at 9:54 PM
So with Cameron at fourth, I imagine Jenny will take third and then Elsa and Richard fight it out for a win. If I were a betting man I'd say Richard wins but honestly I don't want to underestimate Elsa's appeal and TikTok fanbase #bbuk

Emily love, you are NOT the villain of the series. Caroline claimed that "honour" early and often. Sorry babes #bbuk
November 14, 2025 at 9:29 PM
Well done Emily. She's taking the boos in stride, playing up the panto it all is. Not a bad lass really, just a Tory #bbuk
November 14, 2025 at 9:16 PM
Well, I'm glad Tate didn't win. And I'm glad Emily didn't come sixth. I do think a lot of the response to her has been unfair

But you know, I still don't care who wins. I just care who loses lol

Queen Teja is the rightful winner and we all know it #bbuk
November 14, 2025 at 9:14 PM
It's weird because out of all of them I like Emily the best personally - she reminds me of a lot of my political friends in London, well the posh Tory ones anyway lol - but for political reasons I just can't back her to win, not given how political this series has been #bbuk

Sunk cost: I've come this far, I might as well see the series through even if I really don't care who wins #bbuk
