To all those in America, who may not quit understand how Trumps words about the allied soldiers who fought in Afghanistan impact the world. I suggest you listen to the @mrjamesob.bsky.social radio show from yesterday. This is so powerful and should hit home for everyone.

Trump sincerely believes Norway stole “his” Nobel Peace Prize.

That isn’t a joke. It’s the key to understanding his second presidency.

We have to drop the self-delusion, over-intellectualisation and listen to him. America is no longer Europe’s ally.

America is no longer Europe's ally. Stop bleating about NATO. It's already gone.

Jess Phillips showing Kemi Badenoch's unerring ability to be the on the wrong side of every moral argument.
"Kemi Badenoch has to use people like me to give her any kind of relevance," @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social tells @lewisgoodall.com, responding to Badenoch's criticism of her handling of violence against women & girls.

"She should probably apologise to the girls who might have been raped."

Woke upto another desperately disappointing england performance. A failure to prioritise red ball cricket. My suggestion is root and branch reform. 7 county sides playing each other twice in the 4 day game theough the summer ( may and august). Similar to Sheffield shield with strong regional leagues

James Cleverly on #bbcwao smug as ever. Wouldn't it be nice if he owned the cock up that is Brexit. Rather than sneering at Labour who are trying to repair the damage.

Priti Patel. Inarticulate, incoherent and a bit dim on #bbcpm. Regurgitating right wing crap from her recent trip to see her MAGA mates. Pretends she's a patriot.. she's the opposite.

The important debate about cancer on #bbctoday has launched into a sycophanti love in by Jonathan dimbleby on the king. The king wrote a script encouraging cancer checkout.. thats literally all. We need huge investment into cancer detection and protection is the king to help on this ??

Corrupt leader of corrupt organization that has nothing to do with peace makes up fake prize to suck up to corrupt narcissist and fascist after he unsuccessfully and ridiculously tried to coerce the real peace prize people to give him the real prize he could never, ever win.

Pathetic all around.

Mel Strides argument that we should keep the triple lock for pensioners but throw kids in poverty under the bus was laughable. Not sure he believed it himself. @mattchorley.bsky.social

The papers goung full on againat Rachel Reeves budget. I actually think there is much to like. And yes i will be worse off. But child poverty is a scourge of our society.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Badenoch has the unfailing ability to be on the wrong side of every argument. Waiting for her to send good wishes ro the aussies in the Ashes

At what point are torys like Jeremy Hunt and James Cleverly going to say enough is enough and tell Badenoch, Jendrick and Philps to sling their hook.

@samfr.bsky.social unpopular opinion but behind the headlines government and particularly local govt.just getting on and delivering decent solid services to the public.

Aphra Brandreth having an absolute mare on BBC Question time having to justify Kemi Badenoch's latest mad policy announcement. Almost feel sorry for Aphra. So out of her depth.
October 3, 2025 at 7:44 PM
I know you should be open minded to a range of political views but 30 seconds of odious Robert Jendrick on BBC Radio 4 today was more than enough. At least Reform dont hide their racism behind a veneer of decency.
