Why is it Customer Service depts at every company I ever ring are ‘experiencing higher than expected customer demand and so waiting times are longer than usual’? Is it that their expectations are incredibly low or that they’ve sacked all the humans who used to answer the phones to increase profits?

Here is an interesting video presenting a detailed look at Nigel Farage’s past, including allegations of racism, financial controversies and far-right connections.

Farage currently on Sunday morning tv having his tummy tickled by Laura Kuenssberg. Why does any the BBC insist on giving this lying grifter a platform to peddle his dishonesty. Interview him, by all means, but for goodness sake hold him to account. Jamie Raskin showed this weasel for what he is.

Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has said she no longer identifies as a caring human being and has not thought about anybody else’s wellbeing since the early 2000s.

Yet again! Imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth by Trump’s client right wing media if Biden had been speaking to the world’s media and forgot the name of the PM of a key ally? The MAGA cult members would have been foaming at the mouth! Hypocritical double standards doesn’t quite do it justice.

There’s a surprise? Poor bloke, sacked for doing something Putin didn’t like, then shoots himself! Most likely shot himself in the back whilst clumsily tripping and falling from a high window? I suppose it’s cheaper than arranging another plane crash?

So much seems to be going dreadfully wrong in the States today and nobody seems able to stop it. Age old standards of decency and empathy have been thrown out, in order to line the pockets and empower a select, corrupt few. It’s an absolute tragedy of our times, and it’s not over yet! 😩

Imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth by Trump’s client right wing media if Biden had dropped his papers and then quoted the wrong trade agreement partner? The MAGA cult members would have been foaming at the mouth! Hypocritical double standards doesn’t quite do it justice.

Just watching party hopping windbag Lee Anderson on BBC Politics Live. I’d forgotten what a totally useless blowhard he is. Interrupting other guests, trotting out tired dog whistles; ‘we capitulated to Europe’, ‘we need a strong leader’, ‘immigration’. But he and Reform offer absolutely nothing!

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

No mention of the cause of the fire? A sad reflection of the times, but my first thought wasn’t for the passengers travelling today, it was ‘Is this Putin?’

Every new picture of devastation in Ukraine, and every new Russian statement crowing about being able to cause more suffering for their victims, makes me sick to my stomach. Trump’s appalling administration has made the latest round of destruction possible. They have Ukrainian blood on their hands.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House.

Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality.

This Bluesky place is very different to Twitter? I’ve been here a few weeks now, and I haven’t been contacted by any scantily clad nymphettes looking for a soul mate? I must have lost my allure.
