@OOVelma @ZackPolanski Parody?

@ZackPolanski you make my skin crawl and so do the greens per say 🤮

"Zack Polanski, by contrast, seems far more aware of the current political mood in the country, and is pitching to make the Green Party far bolder and more proactive in calling out inequality and combating the far-right head on." #BackZack sussexbylines.co.uk/politics/zack-…

It's difficult to escape the conclusion that HS2 was deliberately designed to steal as much money as possible from taxpayers. The high speed rail lobby colluded with crooked officials and politicians to rip off the public. inews.co.uk/news/hs2-farce… #HS2

There is a point at which wealth gives you too much power to shape politics, just as there is a point above which the lifestyles of the super-rich cause extreme harm to the environment @dhnnjyn explains why we need an "extreme wealth line" in @guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@RpsAgainstTrump Or National Socialism?

Trump responds to Walmart’s price hikes over his tariffs by saying they should “eat the tariffs” and not raise prices, since they “made billions of dollars” last year. “I’ll be watching,” he posted on Truth Social. Telling private companies what they can charge? Sounds a lot like communism.

There are currently seven wounded people in hospitals following a Russian drone strike on an ordinary passenger bus. The victims have suffered burns, fractures, and blast injuries. All of them are receiving the necessary medical assistance. Tragically, nine people were killed. All the details are being verified. According to preliminary reports, the Russians killed a family: father, mother, and daughter died in the attack. My condolences to all the families and loved ones. All the deceased were civilians. And the Russians could not have failed to understand what kind of vehicle they were targeting. This was a deliberate killing of civilians. Yesterday, as on any other day of this war, there was an opportunity to cease fire. Ukraine has long been offering this — a full and unconditional ceasefire in order to save lives. Russia retains nothing but the ability to continue killing. Pressure must be exerted on Russia to stop the killings. Without tougher sanctions, without stronger pressure, Russia will not seek real diplomacy. Yesterday in Istanbul, everyone saw a weak and unprepared Russian delegation without a meaningful mandate. This must change. Real steps are needed to end the war. We are expecting strong sanctions against Russia from the United States, from Europe, and from all our partners. Diplomacy must start working. I thank everyone around the world who is truly helping — not with words, but with strength. Peace is essential.

🔴The Founding Myth of Morgan McSweeney Why reports of Keir Starmer's chief adviser's supposed campaigning genius do not appear to match up with the facts adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-founding…

Bravo ⁦⁦@RichardBurgon⁩ !! & thanks for standing up for constituents against fossil fuel companies & flying lobby! MP to launch bill to target superyachts, private jets and fossil fuel producers | Tax and spending | The Guardian theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

@ScotsBrit @MothinAli "Our culture is being destroyed". You ain't got no culture mate!

Apparently, the UK is now an island of strangers. Keir Starmer needs to spend some time in our communities, they maybe diverse, but they are a true community! #islandofstrangers #enochpowell #kierstarmer

Disgraceful interview by David Mencer on @BBCr4today right now Appalling , gut wrenching propaganda as children starve. I despair at the depths humanity can sink to. Shocking that this man was once a Director of Labour Friends of Israel Well done @bbcnickrobinson for trying to hold him to account.

@joni_askola Typical Musk. Over-promising and under-delivering. A lot like his Teslas. "Like driving a laptop on wheels".

1/11 Most deserved failure of the decade? As expected, Elon Musk’s DOGE failed miserably—and his lies won’t save him from the humiliation. Unfortunately, others will bear the consequences

@SciTechgovuk But we all know you ignore any responses other than those by your funders and lobbyists.

AI is helping speed up government consultations by analysing and grouping feedback 📈 This means we can get your thoughts and feedback faster, whilst cutting expensive third-party consultation costs.

@GreenJennyJones So the implication from his reply is that the only belief he has is that a long-serving, honourable politician 'talks rubbish'. Who on Earth elected a charlatan like him?

Cheap jibe from Starmer.

84-year-old Lyudmila Vasilyeva from Russian St Petersburg went on a solitary protest in her city. She held a poster saying, "People, let's stop the war! We are responsible for peace on planet Earth." For that, she was summoned to the police station and an administrative protocol was drawn against her for "discrediting the Russian army." Lyudmila Vasilyeva has repeatedly participated in protests, including anti-war ones. She was detained several times at rallies in 2022. In 2024, she tried to run for governor of St. Petersburg but failed to collect the required number of signatures.

@RichardGCorbett So he's p*ssing off the wrong block!

Analysis of electoral trends confirms that swing voters increasingly switch WITHIN two blocks (of right/nationalist & of left/liberal), not between them. => Labour risks losing voters to LibDems/Greens/nats much more than to the Tories/Reform. academic.oup.com/pa/advance-art…

@reformexposed Maybe "Greater Lincolnshire" means it's taken over Yorkshire?

Fun fact: Reform UK’s Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, Andrea Jenkyns still lives in Yorkshire, despite saying she would move if elected.

@atrupar He's not wrong there!

he thinks American voters are really dumb

@LBC 0

Keir Starmer is asked if there's 'any belief he holds that lasts longer than a week.' Rate his comeback out of 10...

@PippaCrerar Utter drivel from Starmer.

Keir Starmer challenged by Plaid Cymru for leaning to right on migration with “island of strangers” rhetoric - asking if any of his beliefs survive a week in No 10. “Yes, the belief that she talks rubbish,” he responds. “I want to lead a country where we pull together and walk into the future as neighbours and as communities, not as strangers. “But the loss of control of migration by the last government put all of that on risk, and that's why we're fixing the system…” #PMQs
