That would have paid a few nurses, ambulance medics, teachers, rail workers, and helped to reduce energy bills. Pity all that money went instead to hedge funds and investment bankers who shorted our economy.

Brexit has done more economic damage than feared. Evidence suggests the economic cost is twice the 4% impact assumed by the OBR. Farage, Johnson, Gove...they sold a pack of lies, called the Remain campaign "Project Fear"? It wasn't fear. It was the truth. Brexit is a disaster.

@RpsAgainstTrump @GIGACHAD2021 What the hell is he talking about?

Trump: I seem to have great support. CNN came out with a poll today that I'm at 100%. They said they have never seen a poll like that. The CNN poll said I'm at 100%.

Funding for populist-right ‘media-political complex’ exceeded £170m in 5 years. Handful of billionaires, often resident abroad, funding the push to the right. Organisations such as GB News used to push billionaire interests through right-wing ideologues. theguardian.com/media/2026/mar…

MPs urge UK government to halt contract giving Palantir FCA data access Awarding US spy-tech company deal involving sensitive financial data is ‘huge error of judgment’, Liberal Democrats say theguardian.com/technology/202…

Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.

@Billbrowder Perhaps we can ask Mr Johnson, who awarded him the peerage despite the serious concerns raised by our intelligence services. @BorisJohnson any comment? We'll wait.

Lord Lebedev of Siberia apparently has the lowest attendance record in the House of Lords of all peers. Makes you wonder why he wanted to be a Lord in the first place. Very strange. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

And thus, the nickname MattGPT was born

NEW: The Trump administration has asked the US Supreme Court to block demands for records and testimony about the DOGE project led last year by billionaire Elon Musk bloomberg.com/news/articles/… Petition: assets.bwbx.io/documents/user…

NEW: DOGE is again appealing to the Supreme Court after lower courts ruled that CREW is entitled to discovery. Rather than comply, DOGE is using an obvious delay tactic to keep the public in the dark about the full extent of its reckless operation. citizensforethics.org/news/press-rel…

Let me get this straight. The leading Senate Republican walked into the White House Sunday with a bipartisan deal to end the TSA nightmare. Fund everything except ICE now, get TSA agents paid today, handle ICE separately. Senate Republicans and Democrats said yes. Trump said no. Why? Because Trump is holding TSA workers’ paychecks hostage to try and force Congress to pass the SAVE Act, a voter suppression bill that would knock millions of eligible Americans off the voter rolls. He wants to make it harder for Americans to vote. Like a petulant child flipping the board when he’s losing, Trump torched a bipartisan deal his own Senate leader handed him on a silver platter. His tantrum continues as he unleashes ICE agents into airports. Agents with zero screening training, zero TSA authority, and a good chance of making everything worse. Democrats have been ready to fund TSA from day one. What we refuse to do is write a blank check for an ICE agency that gunned down two American citizens in Minneapolis and still demands the ability to kick down doors without a judge’s approval while hiding behind masks. We will not pass the SAVE Act either. Call it what it is: the SAVE REPUBLICANS Act. Non-citizen voting is already illegal. It was illegal yesterday. It will be illegal tomorrow. This bill solves nothing except the Republican party’s losing electoral math. Fund TSA. Reform ICE. End this today. Trump is the one standing in the way.

NEW: A fresh lawsuit from veteran Voice of America journalists alleges @KariLake put propaganda on the network's broadcasts. My story for NPR: npr.org/2026/03/23/nx-…

5 minutes before Trump’s announcement: * $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip. * $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold. More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close. Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!

@RpsAgainstTrump It's been their plan all along. ICE are now Trump's stormtroopers.

Steve Bannon: “We can use this, ICE helping at airports, as a test run, a test case, to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterms. Mike Davis: “I think we should have ICE agents at the polling places” Saying the quiet part out loud.

Who agrees that the Jeffery Epstein survivors should release a list of names themselves? 🤚🏽 “We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors.”

@marceelias I hope yore right @marceelias but the signs seem to suggest that SCOTUS is about to make the a huge call against mail-in ballots, which is one of the many reasons Trump packed the court with right wingers. It will be a bad day for democracy if they do.

Here is what you need to know about the SAVE Act: 1. It started as a stunt to protect Mike Johnson's speakership. 2. It has become a massive voter suppression bill. 3. It won't pass. 4. When it fails Trump will escalate. 5. We will fight and win. democracydocket.com/opinion/the-sa…

BREAKING: Republican Senator Kennedy just blamed Trump the government shutdown! "The Democrats have offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted Cruz and I said, ‘OK let’s accept their offer…’ Senator Thune submitted that to President Trump. As is his right, [Trump] said ‘No! No deals with the Democrats.’ It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week but the President said ‘no deal.’” This is the DONALD TRUMP SHUTDOWN! Even Republicans are acknowledging it.

Why has @Ofcom allowed GB News to become the broadcasting arm of Reform UK? Chris Banatvala literally wrote the rules when he was i/c standards at Ofcom. He's on @mediaconfpod this week with @lionelbarber and me to discuss what's going on prospectmagazine.co.uk/podcasts/media…

This is a must listen on Ofcom turning a blind eye to GB News effective takeover by Reform UK: @arusbridger and I talk to the man who drafted and enforced Ofcom’s first broadcasting code. He has choice words podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/med…

@BuzzPatterson Funny you don't seem to be bothered about the content of the evidence against Trump though. Why is that?

I hope Trump sues this little shit into oblivion.
