My 2026 predictions:
Keir Starmer will either resign or be forced out.
The full Epstein secrets will be leaked.
Mass protests against AI will begin.
The AI bubble will burst.
There will be three hurricanes.
JD Vance will split up with his wife.

WATCH: Farage asked by @skynews whether it was a mistake not to declare gifts provided by crypto tycoon George Cottrell, who had been convicted of wire fraud in the US, ahead of becoming an MP

[Marl Karx @BareLeft]

Don't think I've ever seen Farage this rattled, which says two things IMO:

1.) He's never faced any real scrutiny in the press

2.) Something worse is going to come out

🚨 BREAKING: ‘Unbiased' @GMB presenter Ed Balls set for Labour return under Andy Burnham.

The UK’s welfare bill is lower than it was 15 years ago as a proportion of national income.

But mainstream media keep pushing the idea that it needs to be slashed so we can spend more on “defence”.

When economist Jonathan Portes was asked on Sky News where the welfare bill could be cut – he called out the broadcaster for asking a "nonsense" question.

The idea that welfare spending is out of control “is just wrong," he said.

This is quite wild from the Labour Party....

Donald Trump: I want a threesome with my sons

[Novara Media @novaramedia]

How about this for false equivalence?

Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Singh tried to compare trade unions that donate to the Labour party through the membership of its workers to cryptocurrency billionaires who donate enormous sums to politicians like Nigel Farage.

But economist @FaizaShaheen pointed out that the two are not the same. She added that the Reform leader has “spent more time representing the interests of billionaires than he has for working class people”.

A £5 million "unconditional gift" from a crypto billionaire.

A promise to launch a crypto revolution in Britain.

Yeah, nothing to see here from Nigel "nine-jobs, five-houses" Farage. 👀

Apparently there's no money in politics...
£5 mil... pocket change?

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

The Labour Government's craven attempt to suck up to Trump has devastating consequences.

The UK has agreed to pay 25% more for new medicines - and thousands of lives could be lost as a result.

End the so-called 'special relationship' and build bridges with our allies.

AOC: I think young people overall feel a tremendous amount of betrayal about the world that we’ve been left with.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Hospital roofs replaced by rockets and guns.

Buried in the smallprint - Starmer's defence plan means slashing funding for hospitals to pay for bullets and bombs.

Will @andyburnham go along with this?

"Public control isn't public ownership"

Yep & as Kevin also points out, public ownership is actually popular

If Burnham planned to nationalise something he'd be shouting it from the rooftops. But as his choice of language demonstrates, he isn't planning to nationalise anything

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

They’ve chosen someone who looks like and a charity sector CEO who has no visible social media presence.

Genuinely intrigued how they’ll do.

The UK is Palantir’s second-largest market by revenue.

@EricLDaugh Why does he happily open factories in China then?

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

After 25 years…

Tremendous location for a vape shop! Put some charity shop clothes bins outside and we’re ready to go!

The doomloop continues to turn

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Just awful to see senior Labour politicians, whose government has helped arm Israel's genocide in Gaza, now expressing sympathy for the victims they played their part in creating.

This is gaslighting.
