2010-2024: Tory PMs attended every single G20 RW pundits: [radio silence] 🐭🤐 2024 & 2025: Keir Starmer rightly represents Britain on world stage at both G20s RW pundits: 😡😤🤯
Keir Starmer’s 11,000-mile round trip to the G20 in South Africa is his third foreign trip this month — and the 42nd in the 17 months he’s been in power. ‘Starmer to visit Britain’ will soon be a worthy headline!

When you’re assessing our current PM, take note of the cretinous, vapid charlatans who preceded him and the equally second rate tobacco-stained pub bore who wants to succeed him. When we are governed by those only interested in their self-advancement, you get this. Never again.

Nazis famously set up official routes for refugees and allowed them to work when here. This man is an absolute moron.
Zack Polanski has spoken of his fury towards the UK Government following an announcement of asylum reforms, comparing the plans to Nazi Germany 🗣️ 'We have seen this with Nazi Germany. We are seeing it in 2025'

I know this isn't the main point but I find it genuinely wild that Boris Johnson appointed an Attorney General who doesn't have even the most basic understanding of defamation law.

People need to listen to Dan on this. He has predicted 5 of the last zero Keir Starmer downfalls.
It isn't possible to overstate the level of political danger Keir Starmer is now facing. May's elections are suddenly a very, very long way off.

The gaming industry has found a new side mission: improving mental health and improving cognitive function. Can health care professionals unlock the therapeutic possibilities of the console? https://t.co/gt7LD584pl

A few reminders of what Trump said in the lead up to Jan 6th December 19th: “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” December 26th: “We will never give up. We will never concede.” December 27th: “Just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me

To paraphrase Marx: Corbynmania always repeats itself, first as history, thereafter as farce.

America’s exceptionalism is slightly overstated but New York City’s, if anything, is undersold, especially by people who don’t live here and would never want to. Bill Buckley and Norman Mailer both ran for mayor four years apart from each other; Mailer with Jimmy Breslin on a
Scott Jennings: This is a terrible night for the national Democratic image. Mamdani is an avowed socialist. He’s the leader of their party.

The Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 is a UK law that requires public authorities in England and Wales to consider economic, social, and environmental well-being when commissioning services. It was legislated under the Conservatives in 2012.
So much for Labour’s promise to be ruthless in the pursuit of growth. Mad Ed Miliband’s tender process for the UK’s planned new fleet of nuclear reactors has descended into farce with bidders required to show a ‘higher-than-usual’ commitment to ‘social value’. Companies were

Last year I was the first Western journalist to embed with 🇺🇦 special forces striking hundreds of km inside Russia. (Re-upped link in reply). That was just the beginning. This week they killed a Russian officer near Tambukan - 400 miles from the front. No Russian soldier is

Waiting for @martinbeckford to take down his article and apologise for being simply wrong. And for @thetimes to learn that copy and pasting a @DailyMail smear is a bad idea if you care about truth
Totally untrue garbage from @thetimes & @DailyMail today - smear dressed up as journalism. Some facts: - There is no “£900 desk” - my constituency office has Ikea desks/chairs - we significantly underspent the new MPs allowance to set up an office https://t.co/NuTwLinxHJ

The left is very anti colonialism and imperialism, but only against the west. Russian genocide and colonialism gets a pass. 🤷🏿♀️ And she thinks the “Putin is a dictator, blah blah” absolves her apologia for leaving Ukraine without defense against Russia. What a moral fraud
"Putin is a dictator, a gangster, and there are war crimes that have been committed, but Zelenskyy isn't a friend of the working class either." @zarahsultana says all efforts need to be put in to ending the war in Ukraine, not pumping money into arms manufacturers.

You really couldn't make this up. Your Party are now desperately trying to persuade Mr #ItWasAScam he hasn't been scammed.

Braverman deleted this tweet which made me wonder who that previous prisoner was. His name was Junead Ahmed. He was a conman mistakenly released in 2023. She was Home Secretary at the time. Oh. https://t.co/hgeAHYYHxk

I admit being somewhat biased here, but he’s getting paid thousands of pounds a week for columns that are basically “this is the detergent I would use to clean up the vomit I left on your kitchen floor”, fgs
