To be fair it’s going to be very funny when these clowns invent AGI and the super intelligent machine tells everyone to get offline, avoid processed food, stroll in the woods, seek community, eschew racism, pay high marginal rates of tax and ignore the ravings of deranged billionaires.

The Trump administration's foreign policy strategy attacks allies including the UK & has been enthusiastically greeted by the Kremlin. Last month, the USA announced a 'peace deal' the Kremlin had written.

And in the UK, the media is full of people still wibbling about 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'.

But we'll welcome former Tories Jonathan Gullis, Danny Kruger, Lee Anderson, Nadine Dorries, Ann Widdecombe, Lucy Allen, Jake Berry - the former chair of the Tories, for God's sake - Andrea Jenkyns, Maria Caufield, Lia Nici ... 20 of them so far.

They should never be forgiven. Except those ones.

“Labour are total bastards. They’ve caused all the problems of the past 2000 years.

Just paraphrasing UK media, including BBC

Does anyone remember this kind of coverage of Tories, when, for 14 yrs, they were lying through their teeth, directing untold billions of public money to their friends etc?

The British press poses a genuine and profound threat to our democracy and our shared prosperity. They howl out their right wing, wealth-protecting agenda and want Farage as PM. We will all pay a very high price for their selfish greed and their utter indifference to social inequality.

Can’t remember budget ‘case studies’ ever being quite so funny. Especially in newspapers that recently anointed Liz Truss a fiscal genius.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

The Brexit "news" never is @nick1webb.bsky.social

Brexit choices were always
1/ Trying to take back (border) control, meaning greater rocketing prices for far less choice & empty shelves
OR
2/ Giving up all semblance of control meaning
unilaterally advantaging the EU (their exporters) & smugglers

Nigel Farage is already observing a boycott of the BBC that began in Aug 2013.

And another from May 2019.

And another from May 2024. And June 2024. And July 2024. Busy year for boycotts!

And one from July 2025.

But this time, I'm sure he's telling the truth.

The more I think about, the more I realise that the attack on the BBC really is terribly thinly veiled - and listening to @newsagents.bsky.social’s episode today, you can see just how dangerous things are right now.

A very good episode from the people who know the BBC best.

UK pensioners account for 44% of all taxpayers facing HMRC bill for interest earned on savings.

Personal allowance frozen since 2021. More pensioners caught in tax and poverty trap, recieve unexpected tax bills.

Phoning HMRC for help is a nightmare.
Half of taxpayers facing HMRC interest bills are pensioners
Pensioners account for almost half (44 per cent) of all taxpayers facing an HMRC bill for interest earned on their cash savings, according to a freedom of information request by AJ Bell.

‘The threat couldn’t be more urgent and imminent. Yet here we are, still putting our head in the sand.’

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social says it’s ‘peculiar’ that the case of Farage ally Nathan Gill admitting to making pro-Russia speeches for cash isn’t being followed more closely.

Our media lets us down badly :

Labours accomplishments - rarely mentioned

Nigel Farage’s house - dropped/ignored

Nathan Gill’s admission of working for Russia - zilch

Russia/Iran funding Reform/Farage - silence

Instead they spread lies on the Budget/MPs/anything to discredit Labour

Why????
