No I haven’t. And I stand by my opinion

I haven't wanted an England coach to go like this for so long. I can't stand him, both he and Key need to go ASAP! This 'no accountability, we only need tough men, let the captain go on the piss the night before a game, can't play test cricket properly' culture has got to go.

I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump.

There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British families’ energy bills through the roof.

Absolutely bang on by @jonathanliew.bsky.social

The Mail calls out racism on its back page, while promoting unsubstantiated, outright racism on its front page.

This. They're absolutely terrified of Polanski (when it's Farage we should all be terrified of) and I'm here for it

That's the way to do it. So good to see progressive politicians pushing back hard on Reform's messaging. Highly effective and so refreshing and Labour could learn a lot from Polanski in this regard. Take the attack to the Faragists - don't let them get away with it.

β€œFuck the billionaires who steal our lives, let’s stick together against them!” is a message a lot of us can get behind IMO

Labour a distant third and Matt Goodwin, pumped and humiliated, mutters something repellent about islamists then slithers away, back under his cunty little rock.

Greens now have 5 MPs.

Reform has 8 - but four of those are Tory defections who were not elected on a REF ticket..

Bet Jenrick and Braverman are feeling a little sick this morning.

anyone familiar with British politics will know that any news that isn't entirely negative will be closely followed by a sustained bombardment of misery that will make you want to fucking die. but currently it's Friday, it's payday, and the fascists have lost

FFS Gorton and Denton - don't let us down. And don't split the vote! Vote tactically, vote whichever way you have to, but don't let the evil of Reform win

Inside Horden, the County Durham town failed by politics In Horden, County Durham, Westminster slogans have long been left unmet as the population has plummeted.

This sort of framing of stories about 'left behind' places is getting very tired. How have they been 'failed' by politics? They are the product of political choices - which organisations like the BBC have often failed to explain to people.
