I'll never forget the line from Cameron where he ( reportedly ) said he wanted to be PM because he thought he'd be
"quite good at it"
Quite how we prevent this unwarranted entitlement is beyond me.

Racism is not justified by immigration levels or rising poverty, unemployment or crime.
It is not justified, period.
I see the rising wave of voices & arguments justifying the rising levels of racism as the most sinister political development in 2025 on the British landscape.

The Home Secretary explaining that the rise in racist violence is, actually, the natural response to higher levels of immigration is a state of affairs that can't exist without the government having largely decided that racist violence is, if not legitimate, at least understandable.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

WHEN will people realise that all of it - Brexit, Reform, the drive to leave the ECHR - is a Russian play? Bannon, Truss, Tufton Street, Farage, Robinson, ALL RUSSIAN CASH

I’m particularly angry today with all those people who attacked us for daring to challenge Laura Kuenssberg, implying we were misogynistic and unfair.
No.
She, together with Peston et al, played a key role in Boris Johnson’s ‘success’.

No Reform MPs attended Parliament today for the urgent question on Russia, because the Kremlin didn't think it was a good use of our time.

Hey I just want to remind everyone that even if vaccines did cause autism (they don’t), they also cause ALIVE CHILDREN, and if you don’t think an alive autistic child is something to celebrate, please fuck off into the sun forever
The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially.
Period.
This is an INTOLERABLE. UNPRECEDENTED. DANGEROUS. ATTACK. ON ALL OF US.

We talk about how astounded we are by Republicans are who can still support Trump. I'm astounded by the # of people who think a vote to release the Epstein files will amount to releasing the Epstein files. Like Trump really said "Aw shucks you win, release the files"

Utterly despicable so called ‘peace deal’ brokered by the US which would force Ukraine to give up lots in favour of Russia.
It’s pretty clear who is controlling the US envoys.

A network of Safe routes with fast ‘yes/no’ decisions, a positive message on immigration would take the small boats gangs out of business and be acceptable to the great majority. Instead we get a poor man’s Farage tribute act.

Stole this from FB. Makes sense to me.
So you mean to tell me the King of England stripped royal status, as well as military rank, and then exiled his own brother because of a Democratic hoax?
That’s weird.

There's a Russian disinformation network operating from Mastodon to push content into BlueSky, it's a few hundred active accounts (they also exist directly on BlueSky natively too).
It probably costs more to run than the value it provides to whoever runs it, tbh.
