CAROL VORDERMAN has just dropped a video on Instagram publicly calling for Robert Kenyon to apologise and calls him a "creep".
She goes on to to say he doesn't deserve to be in Parliament or Reform.
I personally think he thoroughly deserves Reform as they do him.

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

Reform-led Durham council cut off funding to the annual Pride celebrations.

So trade unions launched a fundraiser to save it, eventually raising more money than was cut.

Which means this year's Pride will be bigger than ever.

In the 1980s, the LGBT+ community raised thousands of pounds to help striking miners and their families.

When we stick up for each other, we can achieve anything.

If you don't think we're burning up our planet, you're an idiot

... and that goes for US Presidents and other populists telling people to "drill baby, drill"

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

The White House wonders why Europe won’t rally behind America in Iran. Maybe start by asking why your Vice President is flying to Budapest to have a warm chat with Viktor Orban, the man running a Russian influence operation from inside NATO’s borders.

While Europe has been bleeding money and weapons to stop Russian aggression, Hungary has been blocking NATO decisions, sheltering Russian intelligence, and doing Moscow’s diplomatic dirty work at every turn. Orban isn’t America’s friend. He’s Putin’s man in Brussels.

And JD Vance calls him a “good friend.”
Europe is supposed to line up behind a war that had no plan for day two, no strategy for the Strait of Hormuz, and no consultation with allies beyond Israel. A war that has already sent oil past $100 a barrel and left one of America’s most powerful warships reportedly retreating toward the Indian Ocean.

You don’t get to lecture Europe about loyalty while embracing the man working to destroy the alliance from within, and then demand backup for a war you started without asking anyone.

Maybe stupid people will finally stop electing fucking populists before the whole world goes up in flames

Oh wait, it just has ...

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Nigel Farage cheered on Trump’s illegal war on Iran that is sending petrol prices and energy bills through the roof. Now he says he wants to cut your energy bills.

This is just his latest con. Just like Brexit, he peddles lies then leaves the British people to pick up the tab.

A massively consequential investigation by Alan Rusbridger into GB News: how "one political party in Britain has effectively ended up with its own television station". Raises deep questions about hi-jacking of British media/political culture:

Farage hates this video of him revealing his plans to sell off the NHS.

It would be a shame if it went viral again... 🫢

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

President Trump was right in 2020:

"We've spent $8 trillion in the Middle East and we're not fixing our roads in this country? How stupid. How stupid is it? And we're not fixing our tunnels, our bridges, our hospitals, our schools? It's crazy."

Stop making excuses

Well done #France

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Nigel Farage has kindly asked we stop sharing this video of him talking about why we should privatise the NHS 💙

You know what to do!

[Alex Taylor @AlexTaylorNews]

Trump lies, same old, same old, about humiliating Macron into doubling medicine prices in France👇

I live in France. Medicine costs are the same as a year ago

... and btw, no one goes 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭 paying medical bills here, compared to half a million US families each year

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

The salient point now is not Trump's dementia, but the Republicans' cowardice

They'd rather ruin America's reputation for decades than risk losing their jobs

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

TRUMP: “One thing I’ve noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses and the worse that country is doing.

China makes almost all of the windmills. And yet, I haven’t been able to find any wind farms in China.”

FACT: China has by far the largest installed wind power capacity in the world — more than any other country.

Hey @grok, who are the top 10 disinformation spreaders on X?
