My most hardline view remains that anyone who eats stinking takeaway food on a train should never be allowed to travel on one again.

A President who supports Andrew Tate and insults President Zelensky is clearly a statesman of impeccable integrity and judgement.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend.

I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

The most frustrating thing about continuing failure to skewer Farage is that his grasp of detail is non-existent. It’s why he gets petulant when exposed to even mildly decent questions. Interviewers just need to zone in on one element of the bullshit & interrogate it until his ignorance is exposed.
Farage on #r4today decrying the increase in costs & red tape since Brexit & calling for Brexit to be “done properly”.
No longer part of the customs union/single market -both of which simplified bureacracy- the costs & red tape on trade have ofc ballooned.
Why was this not put to him directly?

I mean it’s sort of amazing that the incoming US President has basically said he’s going to declare war on Denmark, annex Canada and rename bits of the globe to his liking and broadcast news is just rolling with it like he’s delivered a sombre and thoughtful policy announcement. Absolute insanity.

Ok so Trump won again, Musk is buying up democracy, media is overdosing on Farage and Tory sour grapes…
BUT
We kicked the Tories out, the right is split, Brexit hovers over the shredder, Trump and Musk will trip up over their monstrous egos and we moved to Bluesky.

There’s always hope.
Cheers all🎄🥂

Chatting to my brother and he made the point that the same people who say ‘I don’t do politics’ are also almost always those who proceed to have the most strongly held and worst-take political opinions you’ve ever heard in your deymed life. A strong argument for political education imo.

America is now essentially the poshed-up Christian version of Afghanistan. Almost identical policies and beliefs. Forced readings of the holy book, women’s rights rolled back, restrictions on education, enforced conformity.

Nigel Farage isn't the answer to our problems, Britain. He is the cause of them.

Until my country can work that very simple puzzle out we are doomed.

“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans.
