Motability does not help you buy a car, #R4Today - it helps eligible people lease a vehicle. I pay a hefty deposit on my son’s wheelchair-adapted van, plus monthly payments from his disability benefits. Without it, he would be literally trapped in my house. Motability is essential.

Just done my own research: it confirmed that RFK Jr is a total moron.

Heidi Alexander quoted here claiming that American driverless taxis will bring jobs to the UK. Er, how does that pan out for London cabbies, Heidi?

Sitting on my rooftop terrace in Atrani. A cruise ship moors up outside Amalfi. My Facebook feed shows me the exact same ship. How the hell does the algorithm know that?

Oh come on. The police surrounded the place? While the burglar was still there? Don’t be absurd. Even just turning up would be amazing, the stuff of nostalgia. So is this story from the US? Surely not - it doesn’t say they shot him dead.

This sounds like a desperate plan drawn up on the back of a beer mat during a lock-in by a pair of posh-boy SPADs fresh out of private school. Absolutely ridiculous.

Ahem. I beg to differ. Tarzan is spot on in his comparison. And the reaction from Reform is exactly what you’d expect from an organisation that’s spouting the hate and division that spread across Europe in the 30s…

What’s going on, #bbcnews, #r4today, #bbcwato? Jenrick’s talking complete bollocks. His video of his ‘no white faces’ trip to Birmingham shows nothing of the sort. In fact, it’s stuffed with more white folks than non-white folks! Open the window and check if it’s raining, etc…

Thomas Penny @thomaswpenny.bsky.social · 12d

Aside from Jenrick assuming you can tell how "integrated" someone is by the colour of their skin, the video he made in Handsworth does feature white faces.
Why tell such an easily checked lie?

It’s terrible. Everywhere I go, the only thing people are talking about is brown. It’s like the war in Ukraine, the genocide in Gaza, and the madness raging in Trump’s shrivelled brain have just disappeared. It’s all ‘brown this’, ‘brown that’… shocking.

The frog-faced fuckwit Farage is right: Reform’s policies are not racist. They’re racist AND xenophobic.

I saw this in Nottingham, where it’s set and where the real incident happened. It’s a gripping, inventive, and heartbreaking watch, one that runs through your mind long after you’ve left the theatre. You guys are lucky to have it - go see.

American-themed? Are they in the shape of guns and burgers?

jonnythatcher.bsky.social @jonnythatcher.bsky.social · 23d

‘The police come knocking if you think the wrong thing’? Eh? Really? Nope. They don’t have mind reading abilities. Yes, they can read yer socials but that’s different. Knowing your thoughts is sci-fi, not an actual thing. It certainly shouldn’t be presented as fact in a DM headline.

Yeah, but the tariff money you’ve ‘made’ has come from the pockets of American consumers and importers. You guys are so dumb!

Guys, you can’t take anything that Trump says other than the ramblings of a mad moron. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. And tomorrow he’ll say something different. #Newsnight
