Just a pleb.

There are just enough selfish people in the world to make me despair for the future of mankind.

Trump says "drill baby, drill".

He won't be around to see the destruction, but in 50 years or so, large parts of the planet will be uninhabitable and terrible conflicts will result.

My son turns 21 on Monday, I just hope he has time to eke some pleasure out of life.

That's how bleak I feel rn.
Grotesque, as a descriptive term for an event, has surely never been more appropriately used than for this 'peace board' announcement.

I'm pleased to welcome Andrew Rosindell to Reform. With any luck most people will have forgotten he was a Tory MP, because he didn't come into Parliament for nearly two years while he was being investigated for sexual assault and rape.

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all.

They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America.

They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

Incredibly, no-one on Nigel Farage’s team has got round to deleting this post. It’s still live as Robert Jenrick gives his big defection speech.

🔴 Last week the Free Speech Union got a High Court writ to prevent the publication of a list of its donors

So we decided to investigate who *does* fund Toby Young's outfit

Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

When people called the takeover 'sportswashing,' there was an angry backlash from Newcastle fans and a promise to be 'critical friend' of Saudi. Four years on, just after the owner had more people executed than in any other year of his reign, the Supporters Trust is recruiting extras for Saudi Air.

remember when Scottie Scheffler got arrested in Louisville before the PGA Championship for an incident that was strikingly similar to Renee Good and yet everyone was pretty much in agreement that the cop was an overzealous baby?

This is how authoritarian regimes operate

Use the law, and the agencies of enforcement, against *anyone* who stands in your way

Partly to punish them, but mainly to make sure everyone else does what you want

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

I am delighted to welcome Nadhim Zahawi to Reform UK. He will bring useful experience, such as claiming £6,000 to heat his stables and avoiding £3.7m tax by hiding £27m offshore and threatening to sue anyone who asked about it.

No full backs OR wing-backs seems a bold move.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Western leadership has been sitting with their thumbs up their arses for years now watching the IDF destroy Gaza. Why the fuck are we expecting them to react differently to the US and Venezuela?

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

Reducing yourself to Trump's pathetic level of small minded, petty trolling and endless vengeances.

I'm totally here for it...please make it happen.

While Zelenskyy is meeting with trump... he had to maintain his composure with the lies spread by the felon about how russia is a good country. It is painful to watch how a true war hero has to swallow his words and maintain his composure.
