No one has done more damage to democracy in the USA/UK or Australia than Rupert Murdoch, for 50+ years he has pushed his poison.

King Charles will spend his 76th birthday opening two new hubs to provide support to food banks, schools and community centres. Paying inheritance tax might be more helpful. The likelihood is, he's probably charging them rent.

I remind everyone that we had over 1 million deaths during Covid The United States has 4% of the Worlds population We had 20% of the DEATHS The reason ? DONALD TRUMP and his unqualified and incompetent "czars"

The inheritance tax change on rural farms is a point of fairness rather than the amount of money it will raise. Why should millionaire landowners avoid tax that everyone else has to pay. It's closing a tax loophole and millionaire land owners don't like it - good #Newsnight

@CatLaw75 @RNLI I love the irony that all the “I’m never donating again” muppets have, in fact increased donations as they’ve never donated a penny, and they’ve motivated decent people to give more …

@toryboypierce @AngelaRayner There is no 'raise' - it is an automatic event that occurs every April and the cap has been maintained at 5% so there is no 'rise' over and above what would have occurred uder the previous Government . Another massive journalistic fail

@stokecity please can you use another site other than X(Twitter) as it is now too toxic and many have left. Can we get updates, goals, news etc from somewhere else, Threads maybe?

Numpties saying Farage would make a good PM? Apart from a damaging Brexit - what has he ever done well? Can’t keep a political party together - can’t work with others - a lazy MEP who didn’t bother attending meetings. Starts riots.

“I am trying to do well for him, he will always be with me." Ahead of the Potters' meeting with @MillwallFC, City's number one remembers his close friend and former teammate, Matija Sarkic.

1/13 Trump's Secret Administration: south african billionaire oligarchs, with backing from russia and china, have succeeded in seizing control over the United States, and the majority of Americans are totally indifferent! How dumb can they be?

The apparent election victory of Donald Trump, has consequences for the world, that I'm sure, very few people, have ever thought of. The world has just been sent, in an incredibly dangerous direction. 1/🧵

@stokecity Brilliant!

Back-to-back wins for the Potters.

Ed Davey sums up how many in the UK are feeling about the terrible outcome overnight. The UK must now get serious about reengaging with the EU on trade, defence and other issues.

Priti Patel has been made Shadow Foreign Secretary, which is a great excuse to remember that time Ian Hislop hilariously destroyed her argument in favour of the death penalty.

"When the last Ukrainian soldier falls, Putin will come for you." - First, russia came for the Chechens. But we didn't even know where that is. - Then russia came for the Georgians. But we pretended not to see it. - Then russia came for the Crimeans and Donbas. But we pretended it was their own fault. - Then russia came for all Ukrainians. And we still pretend russia will stop there. Putin's invasions of Chechnya (1999), Georgia (2008), Crimea (2014) and Ukraine (2022) all lead to the same conclusion: Someone else will be next. Will it be Moldova? The Baltics? Poland? Russia won't stop unless it is stopped. And the only way to stop russia is by standing with Ukraine. Otherwise, russia will come for us.

Badenoch is having to try to cobble together a cabinet from 121 hapless pricks. She’s picking through the political equivalent of the reduced section of the vegetable aisle. This is comedy gold. MARK FRANCOIS as Defence Sec? Mark fucking Francois?! I laughed out loud.

Kemi Badenoch's cheerleading of Donald Trump at PMQs shows the Conservatives are totally out of touch with our values We should be standing up for human rights, the rule of law and international security - not rolling out the red carpet for Trump.

So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere. And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time. When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime. What then? Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden? You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy. You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military. You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda. You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy. You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy. You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for. You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming. You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation. You just made women less safe and less free. You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now. You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket! You just ushered in Fascism. Because your cereal costs more. Congratulations.
