How it started....... How it's going..... (a work in progress)

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

Former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger on Brexit: “Putin would have been absolutely delighted by our decision.”

“So would Xi. France has effectively eclipsed us. Brexit has marginalised us.” Most striking of all: “Just nobody mentions the UK.”

Very sad that Sir Alex Younger, chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, born on July 4, 1963, died of pancreatic cancer on June 2, 2026, aged 62

Black men have a much higher risk of getting prostate cancer. It's unwise to test white men at the same rate due to false positives leading to overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment. Could you please, for one fucking day, give it a rest?

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Why did the BBC describe rioters in Southampton last night as ‘protestors’. They weren’t protestors, they were rioters. Where has the BBC's objectivity gone? Why can't they tell the truth?

[Mark Cockerton @CockertonMark]

You boy! Are the riots working or are they still talking about that £5 million?

[JmRoyle #LFC #YNWA #BLM #RejoinEU @MyArrse]

Where was the Farage and Tommy Robinson rage and riots when this person was stabbed to death.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Sarah Everard was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a WHITE Police Officer.

Nigel Farage called for calm.

But when he can use racism he calls for Cold, Hard, Rage.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Ofcom claims there is no consensus to ban Nigel Farage from Presenting on GB News.

Lets show them one.

[Alan Lester @aljhlester]

This is Nigel Farage at his worst and Keir Starmer at his best. The difference between darkness and light, night and day. Farage is a hate-mongering, mob-rousing monster who should be allowed nowhere near government.

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

Nigel Farage's work over the last 11 weeks broken down:

- Parliamentary votes registered (including on immigration): 0

- Violent racial divisions stoked: 1

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

I'm confident nobody will share this.

[Simon Harris @SimonHarrisMBD]

This really is Two-Tier Britain. Those who know how to respect a grieving family’s wishes, and those who don’t.

There are now two more female Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers out in the world! What a joy it’s been to share this patch of woodland with these incredible birds for the last 11 days. Thanks to @lesserspotnet for the guidance. The clearing feels very quiet now! #HantsBirds #NewForest

An awful human

[Damian Low @DamianLow3]

So despite Henry's dad making it clear that they "do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension”, Farage uses his death in an emergency address to create division for his own gain.

An awful politician.

[@drsimoncook.bsky.social @DrSimonCook1]

That is because they are grifting bigots

[The London Economic @LondonEconomic]

Henry Nowak's grieving family called for his death not to be used to 'create further hatred, division and tension' - the likes of Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe ignored them.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

I've never been at a medical conference where the results have been greeted with a standing ovation

Tremendous breakthrough in pancreatic cancer treatment

Through science

Hard work, rigorous research, clinical trials.

Science

Not the quack pseudoscience of social media

You know what to do ‼️

Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached.

[Olena Rohoza @OlenaRohoza]

🇺🇸🧐“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…”

Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share.

This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating:

“Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.

A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.

A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.

A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.

A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.

You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth.
More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea.

In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything.
They’re simply too poor to afford bail.

Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening.

Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.

Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends.

Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years.

Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.

And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster.

And you call Greenland badly governed?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment.

‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’

When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?

Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.

Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.

Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years.

And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess.

You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy.

So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan.

The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.

And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”
