“Oh he needs a kick up the arse him!” - This Scottish lady giving her thoughts on Johnson wins the vox pop of the day! 😂 #Channel4News

This platform has become such a toxic mess, so I’m moving to Bluesky, and I would encourage all decent & reasonable people to do the same… 🙏

News flash: On Tuesday night, regardless of what the vote tallies say, Trump will declare victory.  He will claim the only reason he may lose is “vote stealing.” Undermining the legitimacy of an election is how demagogues destroy faith in democracy. Kamala for President.

I’ve actually witnessed people on here confidently stating that Jeremy Clarkson, a 64 year old man and ex smoker who smoked 40 cigarettes a day for 43 years, had to have heart surgery because he’s had the Covid vaccination. Never underestimate the stupidity on this website.

@SW_Help Yet again I try and get to work to find my train cancelled. Your service is a disgrace, and you should be nationalised… 👎🤬

@SW_Help Your service is an embarrassment & a disgrace. You really know how to ruin people’s journeys…

@bt_uk Router going down continually & no engineer appointment for four days?? Absolute rubbish customer service 👎🤬

@WordsWFriends Is there something wrong with the app as I can’t currently claim rewards or play power-ups?…😫

I’m a doctor originally from Afghanistan who is now proudly serving people of all backgrounds in NHS. Despite the fear of violence against my faith & background, I won't be intimated. UK is my home & I will continue to help anyone who needs it. We shouldn't give in to racism.

“Not to have control of our water is insane” - 3 cheers for Stephen Fry on #bbclaurak. Taking our broken water system away from reckless profiteers & putting back into public hands is vital step. But the enforcement regime is broken too - it needs more resources & sharper teeth

My uncle is panicking. He’s running against a strong Black woman—and a former prosecutor—who isn’t afraid to call him out or mock him. His whole campaign strategy was based around attacking Joe Biden—his age, his infirmity, his cognitive decline. It was all projection, of course, but because Pres. Biden is old and has slowed down in the last four years, and because he doesn’t shout or bully, Donald was able to make the attacks stick thanks, in large part, to his foot soldiers in the corporate media.

A courageous and selfless decision. The President did what he’s done for the last four years - he listened to the American people and put the country’s interests ahead of his own. The exact opposite of Donald Trump.

A great decision by Joe Biden. He has many things he should be justly proud of - particularly in his economic record. All eyes now on the Democrats to find a great future President. An incredibly important decision and the correct one. 🙏

Best news!! Now the Democrats have a chance of winning as Biden was never going to get re-elected…Trump will be furious!! 🤣🎉

@Aiannucci US reporters ask such softball questions that when questioned by a former Newsnight journalist they simply crumble and resort to questioning the mental stability of the interviewer. The broadly spineless US political media is one reason why lunatics like Lake have flourished…

Another example of the joyless trance-like seizure they go into when challenged.

Since Britain last went to the polls * Partygate * Boris Johnson lying to Parliament * Mishandling of the pandemic * Matt Hancock and his aide * PPE failures * VIP lanes * Gavin Williamson * Nadine Dorries as Culture Secretary * Suella Braverman’s “invasion” * Braverman’s TWO stints as Home Secretary * Culture wars * Wooing the hard right * Lee Anderson as deputy chairman * Dominic Raab’s holiday during the withdrawal from Afghanistan * Jacob Rees-Mogg’s Brexit benefits * Sunak’s Rwanda shambles * Enshrining in law Rwanda as a ‘safe country’ * Sunak’s five pledges * Sunak’s D-Day fiasco * Sunak calling the election in the rain * NHS waiting lists at record high * GP appointments in disarray * Sewage crisis exposed * Liz Truss imperilling the economy * Rampant inflation * Cost of living crisis * Millions struggling to pays the bills * Foodbanks * Recession * High taxes with breaking public services * Creaking defence * 3 Prime Ministers * 4 Chancellors * 5 Home Secretaries

6 Chancellors in 6 years. 6 Health Secretaries in 5. 9 Education Secretaries in 9. If they were a Head Teacher, their school would be in Special Measures. If they ran a branch of a bank, they’d be under arrest. A disgraceful rabble unfit for office: take them away!

When you watched Johnson lie every fucking day, you had no power. When you found out the Tories gave billions to their mates, you had no power. When your mortgage increased because of that useless twat Truss, you had no power. Tomorrow you have power. Use it #GeneralElection
