Jeff Bezos needs to choose: be a Trump puppet or courageous newspaper owner https://t.co/rhCer44pw5

.@KamalaHarris will be a president for all Americans. She actually cares about making your lives better. Donald Trump only thinks about himself.

I want you to remember this: if someone doesn’t respect you, they should not represent you. That’s not what you need in your life. And we don’t need Donald Trump leading our country for another four years.

Here's our last parody song about the #USElection2024. It's called "Bohemian Trumpsody" (based on the inimitable @QueenWillRock but with only six voices & no overdubs) & we've self-trolled in it as 'libtards' already, just to save folks time who might be offended 🎶🗳️🤞

My first opportunity to ask Vladimir Putin a question since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It came at the end of the BRICS summit in Kazan. Producer @LizaShuvalova

Liz Truss blames Clement Attlee for Britain’s ‘woke’ culture.
Hadn’t seen that coming

All of those complicit in the Grenfell horror should be sentenced to at least ten years of hard labour on construction sites building homes for the country's poor.
They should be fined heavily so that they pay for the new homes too.

People should stop worrying about a return to the EU resulting in mass immigration from the EU.
Very few EU nationals would want to come here to live or work.
#Brexit has made it very clear that Britain does not welcome people.

Just Elon Musk quote tweeting the co-leader of far-right party, Britain First, who is sharing a fake Telegraph headline

Utterly dystopian

What you are witnessing in Britain today is the direct result of…shamelessly blaming migrants/foreigners for crime, crumbling high steets and austerity, for which they are not to blame. As those doing blaming well know.

[Jessica Simor KC @JMPSimor]

An MP labels violent criminals “concerned British citizens” and fans the flames of an already horrifically dangerous situation. If this is not a criminal offence, it should be. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

Steve Reed, "Rwanda was a gimmick.. We were told going into the general election they spent £400 million to send four volunteers to Rwanda.. When Yvette Cooper is appointed Home Secretary, she goes into the department and finds out they have actually spent £700 million"

"My question to Conservative MPs is, did you know and were you involved in this cover up? Or did you not know, in which case they should be grateful that Rachel Reeves is now exposing the full extent of this catastrophic inheritance from the previous Conservative government"

[Private Eye Magazine @PrivateEyeNews]

Dozens of local councillors became MPs for the first time on 4 July and there is no legal impediment to an MP continuing as a councillor, but it is generally not seen as possible to do both jobs properly at the same time.

This posed no problem for the former Tory MP for Mansfield, Ben Bradley, who managed to combine the roles of MP and county council leader until 4 July, when he lost his seat and £91,346 salary.

Happily he can still rely on the annual £55,233 he gets for being leader of Nottinghamshire county council. Over the last three years he has claimed a total of almost £440,000 from the public purse for being in two places at once.

This is one of the worst Commons performances I have ever seen: Badenoch dripping with condescension towards a working-class woman who dared to have ambition.

Badenoch has neither warmth nor charisma. If this is the best her party can do, their oblivion will be richly deserved
