Comedian and actor on tour in 2025!!!! I don’t have much time for work as my whole day is spent on social media, laughing and crying.
A mate from London popped in to see my Edinburgh show last night. #namedrop #SadiqKhan #MayorOfLondon

I have so much sympathy for Rachel Reeves. Just doing my own tax bill makes me cry, I’d be far worse trying to deal with a whole country. If you’re human, hard maths should make you cry.

Just checking, can we call the USA an authoritarian state yet? Obviously, it will soon be time to call it a Fascist state. Those of you who used to moan about politics being boring, you really should have been happier when it was…

Surely it’s time for the rest of the world to bring in a travel ban on people from the USA. It’s a country infected by MAGAism and disinformation about the rest of the world. 😉 #Travelban #Trump www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Trump signs order banning citizens of 12 countries from entering the US
Nationals from countries including Afghanistan, Haiti and Sudan ‘fully’ restricted as those of seven other countries partially restricted

Just another reminder that this is what Nigel Farage and Reform wanted to be President of our most important ally. Well now they no longer act like an ally. They humiliate the rest of the world every day.
Trump: "These countries are calling us up. Kissing my ass."

Trump is learning what Truss learned before him: that the market is the last bastion of commonly-accepted truth, which all sides accept as empirically real open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

Any Trump voters starting to regret their decision in November? I know some Brexit voters that you might like to meet....

I’ve had a horrible thought… with America retreating into isolationism, it will become culturally less important worldwide. So speaking English will become less important. I’m going to have to go to night classes to brush up on my French, and start learning German and Chinese!!!

Quick reminder about all the traitors who gleefully went to the US to celebrate Trump's inauguration:
Nigel Farage
Liz Truss
Priti Patel
Boris Johnson
Suella Braverman
Laurence Fox
Who else?

While really frightening stuff is happening, Nigel Farage , who thrives on generating fear, is very quiet. I suppose, by cheering on Trump, his work is done. The world is so dangerous - not because of desperate people in boats - but because of rich populists spouting lies.

Brits disapprove of Donald Trump by *63%* to 22%. Yet this is the line being pushed by GB News... actionstorm.org/petitions/ma...

GB News does not speak for Britain - pass it on...

Only a straight white man could be a sexual predator and an obvious threat to democracy and still be elected US President. That’s the extent of our privilege. Embarrassed to be a straight white man today.
And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Can we please stop comparing what is happening now to the 1930s? As the fascist takeover is happening to what was our closest ally and the most powerful country in the world, this is much worse for the UK than the 1930s.

At last! A European leader responding with balls to the approach the US is taking. Tired of European leaders not reacting strongly to the humiliations delivered by Vance, Musk and the rest of Trump’s regime. We have to accept that America is no longer our friend.
Friedrich Merz, Germany's new chancellor: "The interference in the German elections by Elon Musk and Trump's Washington was no less radical and outrageous than that of Moscow." #GermanElections #CDU

The question is, whether or not we have enough good people who are willing to push back and to move together across lines of politics and religion and race and nation of origin and orientation—and to declare our interdependence from fascism.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Dear members of NATO, As the most powerful member of this alliance, the US, spends so much time verbally attacking and humiliating fellow allies, why don’t we ask if they still want to be a member? This will clarify the dangers we face and clarify for the American people where populism has got them.

My kids asked me what era we’re living in and I’m tempted to say ‘the pre-war era’.

Anyone else really tired of Americans telling us that they're the greatest country in the world when THAT is their President? Hush now. #Trump
