Trying to make sense of this crazy world one Trawl at a time! Trump silences the press so the press silence Trump. Europe prepares for war and Vance begs for ‘more time’ 👀 Link below 👇

Ed Sheeran’s support acts dropping out one by one in solidarity with Macklemore is reminding me of when the Match of the Day presenters all stood with Gary Lineker. Same energy ! ❤️

Imagine the good you could do with £72 million pounds. Now imagine what Reform will do with it. Shocking and depressing AF that two Labour Prime Ministers have allowed this to happen. The short sightedness is unforgivable

I’m at the point where I cannot understand anyone not seeing that Farage is a total grifter. But then I could never understand how people found Johnson ‘funny’. And plenty of people still think Trump isn’t a corrupt narcissist. Weird.

Thames Water lose around 635 million litres of clean, treated water a day through leakages in their pipes. Thames Water are also recommending shorter showers …

It remains hilarious that his cult will still insist, to this day, that Donald Trump is an "expert deal maker."

The bit where he talked about all his financial security was particularly funny. Creaming off the EU and crypto billionaires.

Imagine you support a football team but they miss a penalty or do something crap. Do you pretend you loved it? Or do you say what you saw but still want them to do well. Also - I’m not actually a supporter of any one team.

It was a post that I happened to think was ill advised. That’s it. In the same way you’re criticising me now for something you don’t agree with. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23
Telegraph headiline:

"Heatwave hysterics wouldn't have lasted a day in 1976", overlaid with a bold “MONK DEBUNKED” stamp.

Still, all the billionaires who don’t give a stuff about climate change, have air con. So that’s nice for them

I'm so scared by prospect of a Farage govt. There can't be another change of leader. AB is literally now the last chance of seeing that off. So we'd better hope he's up to the job!

Strange day. Some of the criticism levelled at Starmer was fair (Gaza) much of it however was a symptom of our billionaire owned right wing press. That said, he never managed to convey what he stood for & took terrible advice at the beginning. But he's worth 1000 Johnsons or Truss' &...

So after spending almost the entire campaign talking about Rupert Lowe and whether or not he would "gift" Makerfield to Labour, most of the British press completely missed the actual story of a massive Andy Burnham win

Got to love British election declarations. A Prime Minister-in-waiting launching his bid for the leadership of the country from between a man with a bin on his head and a man in a fox costume.
