Happy St Patrick’s Day from Shaun and the flock! ☘️ #HappyStPatricksDay #LuckOfTheIrish #StPatricksDay

Jeez. I thought I had seen everything but this! It’s almost impossible to believe it has actually just been posted by the White House. They’ve just presented the horrors of war as some kind of sick video game. Shameful, disgraceful and utterly horrific.

Barron Trump buys $50 million worth of oil stocks two days before Trump started the war in Iran. - He bought before the bombs fell - He bought before Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz - He bought before 20% of global oil supply was choked - He bought before crude oil prices reached levels not seen since 2008 This is insider trading and highly illegal.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

West Northamptonshire Council scraps blue badge car parking for the disabled to save £54,000. The future for the country if they ever get in power. Kiss goodbye to the NHS and welfare state. @Nigel_Farage @reformparty_uk @TiceRichard @LeeAndersonMP_ @RobertJenrick @ZiaYusufUK

While everyone is freaking out about the Green win in the by-election, I noted that the combined Green & Labour vote was easily double of that of the votes for the rest. Proof our country isn't the right wing hellscape you'd expect from media coverage.

@sharrond62 Nigel Farage has just cost the councils who requested a delay until next year MILLIONS when they have to re-run the council elections. £64m that should have been spent on its constituents.

Four days to get entries in.

Blaming Starmer for not fixing 14 years of carnage that included, lest we forget, Brexit, Johnson wrecking everything he touched and the glory days of Truss in 19 months is like blaming a medic for not immediately curing someone who’s been dragged through a radioactive wasteland.

NEW: Reform UK says it would re-impose the two-child benefit cap - scrapped by Labour - for most families to fund £3bn support package for pubs.

JD Vance calling Tammy Duckworth “Forest Gump” because she demanded answers from Rubio is disgraceful. She lost her legs serving this country. He chose sneers over substance. That is not leadership, it’s a tantrum from power that hates scrutiny. Full Reply: Vance didn’t just “get spicy” online. He took aim at a double-amputee combat veteran and sitting senator for doing her job: pressing the Secretary of State for clear answers in a public hearing. That “Forest Gump vs Isaac Newton” line is contempt, not commentary. And it’s revealing. When the questions get sharp, this administration reaches for insults. When oversight gets uncomfortable, they try to humiliate the person asking. That is how weak arguments protect themselves. If Rubio’s facts are so solid, he can stand on them without the vice president tossing cheap shots at a wounded veteran. Vance should apologize, and then do the adult part of governing: defend the policy with clarity, or admit they do not have a clean answer.

Happy Birthday to The Shipping Forecast. Saving lives for 102 years.

The change in a calendar means nothing, but god I hope 2026 is the year we start pushing back at fascism before it destroys us all.

@StevenSaul Happy New Year to you, too, Steve! And to all at BBC News 🙂

I think 2025 takes the award for fastest year ever. Not quite sure where it’s gone. Thanks for your support and for watching North West Tonight. Always appreciated, never taken for granted. Happy New Year.

@forwardnotback Merry Christmas!
