#politicslive Richard Holden should be sacked or resign on the strength of this appearance here. Simple as.

#politicslive to the usual gatekeepers holding Labour to a higher standard than any other party. We don't live in a sixth form debating society. Realpolitik says Russian, China and Trumps America are all threats. And we have to deal with them as best we can.

#politicslive Holden needs a drugs test. Aggressive, a unjustified sense of superiority, talking a mile a minute. Not coherent. Think we all know what that usually indicates.

😁 I love it.

#politicslive thus far this Tory attack line on the spying case is a complete nothing burger. It's not like a waitress in debt has suddenly bought an £800k house. Or Russian oligarchs buying tennis games with Tory ministers.

#PMQs Badenoch asking why people are laughing. She's probably been asking this question all her life. She doesn't get it.
Hopeless.

Can't upset Farage's big money backers. The UK's media is largely made up of vain right-wing blowhards. Unfortunately, there are enough people with a serf like mindset to keep doffing caps and consuming whatever crap the media puts out.

Vote Reform to protect you from make-believe enemies.
Using fantasy economics.
All the while making you poorer while lining their own pockets and robbing you of basic human rights.
The true cost of fascism isn't just economic.
Look at America.

Tice already lives in the desert in Dubai and will happily make the entire earth one to satisfy his greed for money and power.

Still trotting her out then? More Thatcher than Jesus that one.

Pete @countzerorepeat.bsky.social · 10h

UK media. Ask Labour about the Chinese, don't ask Farage about Russian bribes, or mysterious bankrolling of Leave. If you do minimise it, laugh it off. Repeat the process for Russian money swilling through the Tory party.
The majority of the British media stinks.
It's as bent as a corkscrew.

Woke up looking for a decent news provider then remembered I live on Normal Island formerly known as the UK.
The media narrative is that Labour is to blame for everything. You mustn't ask about what preceded the Labour government.

#AlexJones I'm disappointed Alex Jones is trending without being dead.
This piece of shit is yet another deplorable human being that Musk platforms and supports.

Pete @countzerorepeat.bsky.social · 1d

Oh yes. Fuck ICE, fuck anyone who supports them.

Musk is grooming Tommeh ten names to lead an even more extreme version of Reform.

Fascinating to see that some of those pretending to be outraged because I see Palestinian lives have the same value as Israeli lives haven't said anything about the hostages being freed. No joy, no celebration. Almost as if the outrage was performative.

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

That New York Times story lots of people are sharing today about Farage's ties to US anti-abortion groups was first reported by @mc00.bsky.social on Byline Times a year ago bylinetimes.com/2024/11/29/n...

God bless the hostages. Giving thanks for their release and mourning those who were murdered in custody.

Morning. Have a look at the #r4today thread Kev. Fox News in all but name. And we have to pay for it.
