My problem with the “he wouldn’t actually do it” and “institutional checks would step in to stop him” arguments regarding any of Trump’s unhinged threats is that we are in this position precisely because, at every prior stage, he did do it and nobody stepped in to stop him.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Latest Trump message to Iran: “Open the Fuckin’ Straight you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.” This is a waterway the President has said is largely unimportant to the United States. In a war which was won weeks ago.

Welcome to new Reform candidate, Derek Bullock. The Tories kicked him out twice for being racist, including a post saying "Shoot the P***s on the spot". But in Reform we view that less as a problem and more as a basic qualification. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/03/30/sho…

Marco Rubio 2 days ago: “Imagine if Iran funded the well-being of its people, rather than its military” Trump today: “We can’t fund daycare or Medicaid, we need more money for our military” Sometimes the jokes write themselves.

Let me walk you through what happened one hour before Trump announced the five day moratorium on Iran strikes. $1.5 billion in notional S&P E-mini futures contracts. Four to six times normal activity. One hour before the announcement. Simultaneously, $192 million in crude oil futures purchased at the same time. They made between $300 and $400 million dollars off those trades. Trump claimed he spoke to an Iranian official to negotiate the moratorium. The Iranians said that person doesn't exist and the conversation never happened. This is not the first time. It has happened multiple times. He says something. The trade goes on. He says another thing. The market moves. But whatever you call it — they are laughing at you and they are laughing at me while they do it. Hunter Biden sold a painting and Washington lost its mind. These people are making hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars trading on information that only exists inside the most powerful office in the world. I think we are dramatically underreporting how much money is actually being made here. This isn't politics anymore. This is a financial operation running out of the White House.

Former PMs can claim up to £115,000 p.a to cover office/secretarial costs arising from their position in public life. Truss claimed £23,310 between resignation in Nov ‘22 & March ‘23. In ‘24/25, she claimed £97,152. Is she using our taxes to spout lies about the UK in the USA?
Damian Low@DamianLow3

Just a former Prime Minister spouting lies about her own country in the USA for money. Taking money to undermine her own country’s reputation abroad when she still has privileges paid by the UK taxpayer is outrageous. Plastic patriot.

Good illustration of why class and race are a double hurdle: A 35-year old Black TV personality, seemingly fluent only in 'road', and displaying a similar grasp of affairs to Skinner, wouldn't be platformed on Question Time. Except as Dizzee Rascal on Newsnight style parody.
BBC Question Time@bbcquestiontime

“People should be able to… enjoy a pint of beer, take their kids to the football, but they can’t” Businessman and TV personality Tom Skinner says people have “no money” despite working “every hour”, and Labour are “smacking” businesses when they need “more support” #bbcqt

That’s nonsense because many of the people who get what he calls welfare do in fact Work. And much of this total is paid to pensioners in return for their national insurance and they would certainly not consider it welfare. But it’s fake statistics like these that can influence peoples beliefs.
Matthew Elliott@matthew_elliott

The Government will collect £331bn in income tax this year, and spend £333bn on welfare. In other words, we now spend more on people not working than we raise from those who do. And the cost? Debt per person has risen from £11.5k in 2000 (inflation adjusted) to over £41k today.

I would love to be a fly on the wall watching #watfordfc fans in their own work environment. Would be great to see how they'd react to customers telling them they are absolutely shit at their job, or having their manager call them out on front of colleagues & customers 1/2

Far-right lads scream “Free Iranian women! No forced veils! Let them wear what they want!” Then Green MP Hannah Spencer wears what *she* damn well wants in Parliament: Them: 😡🔥 "DISGRACE! BAN THAT OUTFIT!" “Protecting women & girls” until the woman has her own brain and wardrobe. Peak fucknuggetry 🤡🤷‍♀️
