@adam_luxon Instead of infighting Labour should tackle the orchestrated media campaign to discredit & destabilise the party and correct the misperception that Labour has in two years delivered nothing. A new leader will suffer the same relentless negative publicity as Starmer from day one.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

Preston Harp, the estranged brother of WH aide Natalie Harp, has called Trump a national embarrassment - I lost count, but I believe it's the one-millionth time Trump has publicly been called that. Who is Natalie Harp? The 34-yr-old blond who is with Trump constantly, and is alleged to be with him everywhere, and I do mean everywhere.
This has been my gossip post for the day. Now back to behaviorism, sarcasm, and news ...

[Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra]

Marjorie Taylor Greene says she now strongly suspects that President Trump is in the unreleased Epstein files in compromising and disturbing material.

"Given his behavior and how hard he's fought to stop the files."

"I think one could come to that conclusion."

[The Prince and Princess of Wales @KensingtonRoyal]

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people in this country hear the words no one wants to hear. What follows is a path that tests every part of who we are: physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. The challenges ripple outwards, touching families, friendships, work and the quiet moments we spend alone with our thoughts.

Cancer doesn’t just affect the body. It changes how you think and feel and profoundly affects every aspect of life. I know this personally, and that the journey through and beyond treatment requires more than medicine alone.

I have taken on the National Three Peaks Challenge, not simply as a physical endeavour but as a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis and to give something back. The Royal Marsden is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life changing for so many people.

Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare. Every individual is different, and ensuring there is a whole person approach to care enables those living through cancer to manage the deeply personal challenge of diagnosis. Holistic therapies complement clinical pathways and support patients’ ability to maintain their wellbeing, resilience and quality of life during an exceptionally difficult time.  

We have an opportunity to reshape what the future of holistic cancer care looks like, enabling more people, nationwide, to access the kind of personalised support that can help make a meaningful difference during and after medical treatment.

This challenge will support the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, helping to transform access to, and understanding of, holistic care that will enhance recovery and healing for patients across the UK.

Healing, whether personal or collective, is not just about fixing what is wrong. It is about finding balance in how we live. Between effort and acceptance, between control and trust, between thinking and simply being. Because in the end, bravery isn’t just about pushing forward. It is about knowing how to stay grounded, connected and present, no matter the terrain, or landscape you are walking through.

Together, we can stand alongside everyone navigating life with cancer, ensuring no one faces this disease feeling unseen or unsupported.

Please know you are not alone.

You're going to hear a lot of dumbass theories and see a lot of dumbass stuff about why Starmer 'failed': boring, couldn't 'tell a story', no fun, not left or right enough.
Ignore. None of these criticisms have anything like sufficient explanatory power for what's happened. 1/2

[Elizabeth Bangs. No accountability? No democracy. @ElizabethBangs]

We've been played.
Starmer has been hounded out because he DIDN'T fail. Success. That was his awful sin.
MPs simply caved in the face of his unpopularity. They didn't investigate, interrogate, support. They panicked. So Musk won, the media won, the dumbasses won.
The people lost.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

OMG, this "Great American State Fair" with its negligible crowds and masturbatory attendees is SUCH a humiliation for Trump.
Allow me to present an important behavioral distinction explaining why that is:
Trump CANNOT feel shame and DOES not feel guilt. It's not that he won't, it's that he CAN'T. But humiliation is distinct from shame and guilt.
While shame and guilt stem from SELF-EVALUATION -which Trump doesn't engage in - humiliation arises from the perception of being devalued or degraded BY OTHERS.
It also involves a public or social component and the failure of the Great American State Fair at this ludicrous a level, is VERY public, and thus, very humiliating for Trump and his overblown sense of self.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Disgusting story of a sickening rape gang. Yet it’s receiving hardly any attention from those who’ve led (rightful) outrage over the grooming rape gang scandal. I wonder why?

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

👏 @piersmorgan on fine form, calls it straight:

“Brexit has been a pretty well unmitigated disaster.”

It triggered the political chaos that’s given us seven Prime Ministers in ten years

He pins primary responsibility on Nigel Farage, the “snake oil salesman” who sold impossible promises.

Morgan’s advice for @andyburnham.

Call a referendum to rejoin the EU. He believes it would be a landslide because the country now knows the truth

[Covie @covie_93]

Getting arrested for masturbating while dressed as Uncle Sam at trump's state fair to celebrate America is the most MAGA thing ever.

[Sara Connick @SaraWaterer]

@OperaSocialist It’s a puzzle…

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

How do you fuck up the 250th this badly?
It’s such an easy win. An average Summer day on the Mall is a hundred times more full. You have to work to make it this empty.

This regime is such a bizarre tragicomedy.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Trump is bombing Iran again because Katie Phang won her Epstein transparency lawsuit against the Trump DOJ

[Narinder Kaur @narindertweets]

Extraordinary allegations from @benhabib6 !!
Ben Habib alleges that Nigel Farage & Boris Johnson were paid £1m each by Christopher Harborne to essentially rig the election in favour of Johnson. He also claims the undeclared £5m "gift" Farage received in 2024 from Harborne was payment for Farage to take over as party leader of Reform UK and stand in Clacton.

[Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

Hi @Nigel_Farage, about your donor…

The one you speak to monthly.

Christopher Harborne, who holds a significant stake in Tether.

Investigations, including by the National Crime Agency (NCA) have highlighted that Tether has been utilized to exchange funds for criminal and state-backed networks, including assisting Russia in its conflict against Ukraine.

He also profits from Rumble, the video platform that refused to ban Russian state media after the invasion, and has since hosted a Kremlin-backed influence operation exposed by the US Department of Justice.

After everything with Nathan Gill, after your speeches in the European Parliament blaming NATO, not Putin, this doesn’t look good.

How much Reform UK money is Russian?

[Mark Cockerton @CockertonMark]

If you think it’s acceptable for someone who owns a U.K. political party to take a £5 million bribe to act in the interests of a crypto billionaire, try to hide it and then when they get caught refuse to answer questions about it, you need to give your head a really good shake.

NOTE to Lucy Powell.
Labour's Deputy Leader
You can try to persuade as much as you like- by gaslighting during an interview with the light of false sincerity in your eyes #bbclaurak
The fact is.
Burnham as PM, will always be viewed through the murky prisim of how he got there.

[Lola Ashton @LolaAshton5]

@bchaz4 And his attack on Rachel Reeves and the handbag. It took the weasel 5 months and it achieved nothing. Yet any Reform scandal, he's nowhere to be seen.

[chasb @bchaz4]

Good morning people how about we all mount a sustained attack on Chris Mason in the same way he attacked Kier Starmer.
We make his tenure at the BBC impossible.
At least we can justify our claims of bias and incompetence.

[Anne @Anniepop2027]

Woman “in glasses”

“We need to let elected Prime Minister’s, also elected as leader as well, the time to deliver their policies over their whole term”

And there it is ..,

In a nutshell.

You say to Starmer you’ve got 5 years to deliver and oust him after 2

No.

@LBC

[Bob Morgan 🇬🇧🇺🇦 💙 @Bbmorg]

Farage says he wasn’t in politics when he took a secret £5m bung. He actually owned a political party and was one of the most prolific politicians of the last 30 years.
