This is the default configuration of Samsung TV. GB News has bought prime spot.

What this meant was that racist chat entered my front room yesterday ("foreign NHS workers can't speak English").at 6.30pm with my six year old listening.

How can Ofcom just sit back and let this happen?

Nigel Farage regrets running 'bankrupt' Worcestershire Council The Reform UK leader says he wishes the party

“Farage has said he wishes the party "hadn't bothered" to take minority control of Worcestershire County Council, because of its financial problems”

V much summing up his approach to power.
Grifting and gobshiting - yes please.
Hard work and responsibility - god no.

Nigel Farage wants to ban same sex marriage, and unban handguns.

He thinks he lives in the USA.

‘One of’? Which earlier ones could challenge it for the title?

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

There really should be a ‘reverse ferret’ emoji by now. How does one go about asking the clever IT chaps to create it?

Meanwhile, in Vermont…

People are getting gassed for protesting ICE. Yep, that’s still going on. America sure is great, isn’t it?

Er folks, I think you’re both fundamentally on the same side on this but somehow your exchange has fallen down a rabbit hole. Perhaps take a pause and recalibrate?

If Trump takes more sanctions off Russia, he is never putting them back on.

This might be exactly what he has been waiting to do all along.

He consistently sides with Russia over allies.

The man is a real traitor

QUINTANILLA: Do we think the Russians have shared intel about US military assets, and if so, why would we be giving waivers on oil sanctions?

WITKOFF: I can tell you that on the call with POTUS, the Russians said they have not been sharing. That's what they said. We can take them at their word.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

His war drove up the price of oil just in time for Bessent to wave sanctions on Russia so their war machine is funded bigly. There's nothing quite like making sure an enemy has $ to use against you.

Richard Tice also says Reform would help the US and Israel “in any way they saw appropriate.”
Amazing how quickly “sovereignty” turns into obedience.

So that’s Reform’s version of “Britain first,” apparently.👇

This is due to Liz Truss as Energy Secretary…she allowed our Centrica storage site to be shut down.

Everything she touches.

And to be fair to Ed Miliband, once closed, surveying in detail & re-opening storage again is not quick I am told.

Maybe we should be clearer. Jobs aren’t at risk from AI. They’re at risk from amoral shitbag short term spec capitalists using AI against a weakly unionised workforce and broken government.

New Employment Rights Act ‘a huge boost for women in the workplace’ Government says new rights for parental leave and sick pay will increase equality and economic growth

The Guardian has a positive article about Labour today on the benefits of the Employment Rights Act 2025, much of which comes into force next month.

Please read the article and share it widely, to let the Guardian know this is more the sort of content we want!

You will not convince me that this is not a plan to terrorize Americans.

The regime wants terrorism on US soil to cancel the election.

This from the Daily Mail is quite something

The one tabloid that has done more damage to cultural cohesion, attacked diversity, migration, Islam, than any other, yet here they are praising the diversity of Dubai

It’s the psychology that makes a difference 🙄

This is almost exactly what I said would happen on yesterday’s show. The conflicting & contradictory reasons given for the war, coupled with client journalists & pusillanimous politicians on both sides of the Atlantic, will enable him to claim ‘success’ when nothing remotely successful has happened.

He’s not fucking around. He 100% will do anything to steal the midterms along with the 2028 election, where he FULY intends on running for a 3rd term. This man is terrifying.
