BREAKING: UK announces that it will halt sharing information with the United States on drug smuggling operations in the Caribbean after US strikes on cartel boats. They don’t want us to defend our nation from drug-smuggling terrorists. The UK loves coddling criminals and

@lukejcr The entertainment shows aren’t the issue, Luke. They’re great. No one is arguing about David Attenborough or Gavin & Stacey. The concern is when the news division edits political content in a way that shifts public perception. That’s not a small “oops”. That’s state-funded

@OliverRyanUK “Jealous of the BBC” is a wild take. People don’t lose trust because they’re jealous. They lose trust because the BBC selectively edited a presidential speech on Jan 6th to change what was said. That’s not journalism. That’s storytelling. If you want the public to “defend the

@Ofcom The BBC was caught selectively editing Trump’s Jan 6th speech in a way that changed its meaning. That’s not a small mistake. That’s trust-breaking. Yet Ofcom’s first instinct is to issue a glowing tribute and call the BBC “strong and valued”. No accountability. No recognition of

@lukejcr Respect isn’t just standing in silence once a year. Respect is how you lead, all year round. People aren’t mocking the day. They’re mocking the politicians who show up for the cameras, while ignoring veterans the other 364 days. When families are choosing between heating and

@SenSanders The U.S. doesn’t have “the worst” healthcare — it has the most expensive, with outcomes that don’t match the cost. The real problem isn’t access. It’s pricing opacity, insurance monopolies, and profit built into every layer of the system. Medicare for All as proposed doesn’t

@GovKathyHochul You don’t get to cause a cost-of-living crisis and then blame someone else for the hunger that follows. Groceries didn’t become unaffordable because of Trump. They became unaffordable because of your inflation, your energy policy, your taxes, and your lockdown-era economic

@DougWahl1 He’s not “taking over for Trump.” A state governor doesn’t speak on behalf of the United States at international summits. That’s literally what the federal government and State Department exist for. When you start acting like you’re conducting foreign policy without federal

@LibDems @Nigel_Farage “Most trusted on the economy” from the party that: • Tripled tuition fees after promising not to • Backed austerity then pretended it didn’t happen • Went from “abolish the House of Lords” to handing out peerages • And can’t win a majority in a local parish hall without a

@AyoubKhanMP You talk about ending “top-down politics,” but all we’ve seen from you is deeper division along religious and cultural lines. Birmingham doesn’t need more sectarian politics. It needs unity, shared values, and leaders who speak for everyone, not just one community. You’re not

@SaraForTexLege You’re running for the Texas House, yet this is the tone you think wins people over? Disagreement isn’t “slavery.” It isn’t “incubators.” And it definitely isn’t “you SUCK.” Most people support both: • Women’s bodily autonomy • AND protecting life when it becomes viable Acting

@LibDems You had your shot at “decent, tolerant and caring.” We got tuition fees betrayal, endless U-turns, and backroom deals propping up austerity. If your idea of “standing up for Britain” is telling working people they’re wrong for wanting secure borders, affordable energy and a bit

@GovKathyHochul This is wild spin. It wasn’t Republicans who cut food budgets. It was your inflation, your energy policy, your tax hikes, and your cost of living crisis that made groceries unaffordable in the first place. You don’t “fight to feed families.” You just take more money from

@LBC @ChrisGPackham Comparing climate policy debates to a world war is exactly why so many people have switched off. If this is an emergency, why are world leaders still flying private jets to climate conferences, burning more CO2 in a week than most families do in a year? The public isn’t the
