We all knew something like this had happened: Corbyn working with Tory Brexiters to back the Withdrawal Agreement, on a three line whip, with no amendments. ... But to see it here in black and white still makes me furious! #LexitLiars 😡

"I despair of his 'be all things to all men' approach." Steve Coogan tells Andrew Marr he believes Keir Starmer is a 'decent man', but warns that his eagerness to please everyone will inevitably 'bite him on the bum' eventually.

President Biden warned in his farewell address that an oligarchy is taking shape in the U.S. As President-elect Trump returns to the White House, billionaires and multimillionaires are flocking to the city where power has been more important than money, but is now deeply intertwined with it.

Every single poll and survey shows a large majority regretting Brexit and wanting to rejoin the SM, CU and/or the EU as a whole. I fail to see why we should be bullied by a right wing media, minority of the population and cowardly government. I want a government with balls not excuses.

Someone at Amazon has a twisted sense of humour. They've added 'Civil War' to Amazon Prime Video just in time for Trump's inauguration. Let's hope it remains fiction.

Tulip Siddiq is just prolonging the inevitable - if Labour wants to look different to what came before they should act now. It isn’t tenable for her to be in post whilst all this is investigated, and if it were a Tory Labour would be screaming for her departure. She can’t do her job properly. Lead.

The Tulsa Race Massacre was not committed by an uncontrolled mob but was the result of “a coordinated, military-style attack” by white citizens, the Justice Department said in a report. It was the first time the U.S. government has given an official account of the 1921 massacre of Black residents.

The Justice Department’s conclusion follows an investigation of the 1921 atrocity in Oklahoma in which up to 300 Black residents were killed.
