@AntiEVidiots @cellah26bsky @bmay It was a direct quote. I posted it at the time. I just can’t remember who said it. She used it in PMQs.

@mgtruth @cellah26bsky @bmay Possibly. She doesn’t seem to have an ounce of originality or integrity in her body. A political opportunist that will say anything to get in power.

This is a car crash. It’s astounding how utterly pathetic the Tories have become on foreign and defence policy in the last decade. Completely unthinkable this person would be in charge at a time like this.

The Donald Trump supporters that have stayed by side through thick and thin, from pedophilia allegations to him being very visibly insane and attempting to blow up whatever remains of US democracy, are now beginning to take a moral stance against him on grounds of oil prices.

@cellah26bsky @bmay Is Wes Streeting the highest ranked politician to appear on QT for a very long time? Used to be cabinet ministers and forced the opposition to send their brightest and best. Is that Helen? 😬

@mgtruth @bmay Unbelievably bad... mind the Helen Whately interview on CH4 gives it a good run for its money for total incoherence

I forgot about this stupid shit but imagine if they poured $80 billion into feeding the hungry instead of this failed cartoon universe that nobody wanted

“Responsibility dissolves in the noise. Every side deflects blame. Meanwhile, ordinary people stand in the middle, absorbing the consequences. For now, life is measured in small intervals: between explosions, between cups of tea, between messages confirming that another loved one has made it through another night.”

Katherine MacBean (founder of the People's Health Alliance) has shared a video quoting Nazi propaganda about a Jewish "worldwide conspiracy" controlling governments and the media. 😳 And she's far from alone. Many covid conspiracy theorists seem oddly drawn to Nazi Germany... 🧵

@cellah26bsky She hasn’t a clue.

@mgtruth I wouldn't show my face for a week 🙈😂😂😂

Listening to her is like listening to a toddler trying to explain why they should have sweets instead of their dinner... but, but, but 🙈

@cellah26bsky Dear goodness 🤦‍♀️

Two weeks apart (this is now an Economist genre)

@AntiEVidiots @cellah26bsky @bmay That was a direct quote from someone. Was it Hegseth? I can’t remember now.

@cellah26bsky @bmay @mgtruth Yes, but she gets to trot out the arrows and archer analogy a few more times. 🙄

@cellah26bsky @bmay I missed that one!

This is the way. Any sustainable & efficacious route to peace & equality for ALL will require many moments like this. There is too little visibility- never mind outrage- about daily injustice visited on Palestinians. Every effort to change that should be welcomed and incentivised

This is a very powerful editorial from Jewish News. Those willing to weaponise hatred towards Muslims will not stop with Muslims. jewishnews.co.uk/voice-of-the-j…

@fobakesbadly It’s like asking SYL to consult with the criminal board on contempt of court.

And they wonder why Catholics won't join?

@cellah26bsky @bmay Isn’t an awful interview?

@bmay @mgtruth Good grief... its hard to believe, but she actually makes it worse every time she opens her mouth.... somebody make her stop

Trump bingo.

I’m a true believer in the principal of the BBC. But the BBC in Belfast needs called out. Not individual presenters but overall strategy which I believe is to deliberately destabilise government here to create news. Each week BBCNI has min 13 “political” shows plus podcasts(1/ 3)

A father of a U.S. service member killed in the Iran war publicly contradicted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s claim that grieving families urged the administration to “finish the job.” According to NBC News, Hegseth told reporters that in private meetings with six Gold Star families he heard a consistent message of support for continuing the war effort. But at least one father said that was not true and that he never told Hegseth anything of the sort. 🇺🇸 What the NBC reporting establishes: - Hegseth’s claim: He said “family after family” expressed support for pressing on with the war, describing messages delivered “through tears, through hugs, through strength.” - The father’s rebuttal: He told NBC News he did not tell Hegseth to “finish” the job and did not endorse the administration’s framing of the meeting. - Why this matters: The administration has repeatedly invoked Gold Star families to justify continued escalation, with President Trump making similar claims earlier in the month. The contradiction raises questions about how the administration is using—or overstating—family sentiments to bolster public support for the war. 🔍 Broader context: - Other outlets have reported Trump and his allies saying that families of fallen troops urged them to “finish the job,” but those accounts come from the administration and sympathetic media, not from the families themselves. - NBC’s reporting is the first documented instance of a family member directly disputing that narrative.
