The Guardian: “Net migration down by three-quarters, the biggest fall in NHS waiting lists for 17 years, knife crime cut by 10%, the economy growing the fastest in the G7, rising wages, energy bills and petrol prices held down, the biggest sustained rise in defence spending since the cold war, a massive expansion of free childcare …
If Keir Starmer did tub-thumping lists of Labour’s achievements in the style of Gordon Brown, he would not actually have a shortage of things to talk about.”
During the two years of Labour government, following fourteen years of Tory mismanagement, there have actually been significant improvements in Britain. Why does the Tory media not report them?

[Joshua Silver @eyejosh]

Please repost if you agree that it would be extremely unwise for Labour to remove Keir Starmer right now

If, like me, you are sick of the BBC covering up for Reform UK's shortcomings and corruption, please repost. The BBC are NOT impartial!!!

Nigel Farage secretly trousered £5 million in cash, and he didn’t want you to know.

Since the media have barely covered it, let's make it go viral 👇

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been formally nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2026.

Retweet if you believe Zelenskyy deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

So the Tories who hollowed out our armed forces over 14 years are furious that Labour hasn’t rebuilt them fast enough and refuse to accept any responsibility whatsoever for the state of affairs.

Have I got that right?

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

okay I guess I have to talk about Péter Magyar here.
Let me just start with saying, in a very unladylike way, that you guys seem to have zero clue what happened in Hungary in the last two years, you completely miss the point, and you're a disappointing bunch.
Let's go.

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

Lets show them one.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Today is Palm Sunday, marking the beginning of Holy Week as we approach Easter.

Today's procession across Trafalgar Square to St Martin-in-the-Fields is a powerful retelling of the story of Jesus’s arrival in Jerusalem.

[Fraser Nelson @FraserNelson]

Bishop of Willesden on the Iftar : "The public iftar in Trafalgar Square was not an act of cultural imposition, nor a signal of division. It was, rather, a moment of hospitality: an invitation to share in the breaking of the fast during Ramadan, extended by one community to the wider public. It was open, generous and peaceful. It reflected something profoundly British; the instinct to gather, to mark significant moments together, and to make space in our common life for the traditions that shape our neighbours.

"To suggest that such an event is somehow threatening risks misunderstanding both the nature of religious expression and the character of our national life. Religious freedom in this country has never meant the privatisation of belief. It has meant the opposite: the right of individuals and communities to live out their faith openly, visibly and without fear. That principle applies as much to Muslims observing Ramadan as it does to Christians celebrating Easter, Jews marking Passover, Hindus celebrating Diwali, or Sikhs observing Vaisakhi." https://t.co/zksAk3tqhv

Trump's allies wrote a plan to dismantle public services, strip women of their rights, and hand power to a tiny group of extremely wealthy men. Farage is their man in Britain.

Trump is utterly disgusting. Surely we cannot be far from the time when King Charles refuses to be involved in Trump’s attempts to use a significant 🇺🇸 anniversary for his own ends. Just take today - for a US President to say “I’m glad he’s dead” of a man who has devoted his life to public service is beyond vile. And his endorsement of Orban (farewell any notion of not interfering in other countries’ politics) puts him in the Putin camp once more, furthering the risk to Ukraine. Add in the endless insults of @Keir_Starmer and I really think the time has come for the 👑 to follow the Pope in being otherwise engaged .

Anyone on benefits in this country. Pause for a second.

There is a reason those benefits exist. Because life broke somewhere. Illness. Disability. Caring. Redundancy. Wages that do not cover rent anymore. That is reality not failure.

Now listen to what Reform are actually saying. Not dog whistles. Not rumours. Out loud.

They want to charge you for things you do not currently pay for. They want austerity back. They want to tighten. Cut. Squeeze. Again. Even lower wages. Did you miss that bit?

Many people on benefits already use food banks. Many already sit in the dark watching the meter tick down. Many already skip meals. That is now. Before Reform touch anything.

So picture it. Same life. Same bills. Same stress. Then extra charges on top. Less support. More punishment dressed up as discipline.

How are you meant to survive that. Honestly.

This is not theoretical. They are not hiding it. They are proud of it.

Things are bad right now. Reform are openly promising to make them worse for you.

So the question is simple.

Are you okay with that.

Are you genuinely okay voting for people who are telling you they will take more from you when you already have nothing left.

I struggle to understand it. Then I stop pretending.

Because if you are choosing this anyway it means something else comes first. Anger. Blame. Racism. Someone to point at while your own plate gets emptier.

If that is the choice then own it. Say it. Do not pretend this is about helping ordinary people.

They are screaming what they want to do to you. Loud. Proud. No shame.

And still some of you cheer.

That is not being ignored.

That is choosing your own harm.

The media has convinced you that Keir Starmer is the worst Prime Minister in history. They're lying to you.

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.
