One of the many, many beautiful London's that right-wing dickheads don't know about, because deeply uncool racist wankers aren't invited.

It's hard to exaggerate how important London now is to Labour.
'Senior Labour politicians across London have warned the govt not to take progressive voters for granted, with concerns the party faces an "earthquake" in May after a surge in support for the Greens.' www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Screencap of Al-Jazeera headline: 'Peace "within reach" as Iran agrees no nuclear material stockpile. Oman's Foreign Minister says most recent indirect talks between US, Iran really advanced, substantially' and diplomacy must be allowed to do its work. Oman's Foreign Affairs Minister Badr bin Hamad A Busaidi gives a thumbs-up in Geneva.' (28 Feb 2026)
The world one week ago. ⤵️
The possibility of a deal meant Israel saw its window of opportunity to attack a weakened Iran as in danger of closing. So it told the US it was going to strike and Trump immediately fell in line. Now here we are, once again, mired in a world of blood, bodies and bullshit.
Yes, he's not perfect but he has proven himself to be an able representative for London – especially, on the world stage. At home, it's been more difficult with hostile Conservative governments that openly hated both him and London. His survival is a testament to his political nous.
➡️ @whitehouse-47.bsky.social hasn't posted this over here but it has over 'there'. More proof, if it were needed, that this Trump administration is populated by soulless fiends who give thanks to Christ even though their every action tells us he would be beaten up by ICE and deported in a heartbeat.
Oh, FFS!
For five minutes, I allowed myself the thought that a change of ownership might result in the Telegraph ceasing to be one of the most toxic climate change denying propaganda sheets in the Western world – but it seems not. 🫤

Screencap of FT article: Axel Springer buys Telegraph in £570m deal. German media group scuppers proposed acquisition of UK newspaper company by Daily Mail owner
"Don't tell them, Pike!" 😂
'Media group Axel Springer has agreed to buy the Telegraph for £575m. The prospect of the “Torygraph” having German owners will send shockwaves through the ranks of Conservative power brokers in Westminster.'

Boss move.
'Sadiq Khan has sent Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei an invitation to move to London after the AI giant’s spat with President Trump. The mayor of London praised the company over its "steadfastness" after it refused to give the US military access to its tools.'

So much for checks and balances.

I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump.
There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British families’ energy bills through the roof.
The Allister Heath generator on steroids.
'By convening its international executives and establishing the mission of becoming the leading provider of AI-empowered media in the free world, Axel Springer underscores its ambition to shape the future of media.'

I really don't miss having to cover the Telegraph takeover story, the world's most tedious media saga.
But this is INTRIGUING: @danielthomasldn.bsky.social says the Daily Mail deal to buy the Telegraph might collapse and Axel Springer might end up in control.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men.

I think she was mesmerised by someone speaking fluent facts.
Excellent summary by George Monbiot. If you're not aware of this history, can I recommend the comprehensive series @empirepoduk.bsky.social
If only...
Screencap of tweet quoting War Secretary, Pete Hegseth, giving the sort of speech that previously would have been the tedious preserve of some drug-addled street preacher. "All the nations represented in this room are the offspring of Western civilization. Our nations are and always will be united by our heritage, history, and geography in this New World. We share the same interests and because of this. we face an essential test. Whether our nations will be and remain Western nations with distinct characteristics. Christian nations under God."
What the hell is wrong with these people??? White supremacist freaks...
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
If George's appearance on last night's #bbcqt doesn't garner him more invitations onto the show, then it really isn't about the quality of the contribution that a guest makes.

God's track record of being on the right side is piss poor, tbh.
Excellent.
'Tesla sales dropped 37% in February from a year earlier, as the automaker stayed under pressure from booming demand for EVs from Chinese competitors such as BYD whose sales soared 83%, according to SMMT data.'

Yes, Mail, Telegraph, Sun, Express... We should definitely be in lockstep with the Christian warmongerers. What could possibly go wrong when you have the only supreme being who is 'possibly' greater than Donald Trump on your side?

They have mad Mullahs. We have mad Christian evangelicals.
