Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

❗️❕❗️More and more Labour voices are calling for an end to the two-child benefit limit.
The 2025 Labour Party Conference must debate the two-child limit and vote to end it.
🗳️ In the Priorities Ballot, vote for 'Supporting Families' to secure a debate on the two-child limit.

Stella rinsing a TeamNigel representative - quoting the points @jdportes.bsky.social has been making about the factual accuracy of their numbers
Reform’s immigration plan falls apart on hard contact with evidence, economics and any form of engaged brain. Never be afraid to stand up for this country and its decency and future by giving them short shrift.

For a month Trump said he was personally paying for the ballroom. Now we learn he’s been shaking down corporations to pay for it who want something from the govt. Another corrupt scam between Trump and CEOs that he lied about. I doubt he pays a penny.

There is not one political party that is saying we should rejoin the EU now.
But
There is only one party that is aligning and moving closer to Europe.
The Labour Party.

My latest Yorkshire Bylines article - about the upland deserts that the potentially beautiful moorlands of Yorkshire have become, how this has happened, and why it is in 99.99% of our interests to do something about it.

Yorkshire’s inglorious moors and the lies of the land

It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.
