@paulusthewoodgnome.bsky.socialReposted by @westcountryvoices.bsky.socialRobert Jenrick, Shadow Chancellor for Reform UK, proposes extrajudicial killing as a solution to the small boats issue. "Deploy the Royal Marines into the Channel. If they need to use lethal force then they'll be able to do so. I think the problem would come to an end within a matter of days."

@russincheshire.bsky.socialReposted by @westcountryvoices.bsky.socialImposter syndrome is when you forget Mark Francois (Spud-u-Hate) Gavin Williamson (a lifetime collection of blunders with the teeth of a starved horse) Priti Patel (the Shetland Pony of the Apocalypse) and Desmond Swayne (the reanimated corpse of Alvin Stardust) are still members of parliament.
@fife4europe.bsky.socialReposted by @westcountryvoices.bsky.socialFormer MI6 chief Sir Richard Moore confirming hostile state active measures targeted the 2016 referendum lays bare our democratic vulnerability. Dismissing foreign subversion because it's uncomfortable to admit endangers national security. Why ignore state interference? 🤔 #FBPE

@robertscotthorton.bsky.socialReposted by @westcountryvoices.bsky.socialThe backstory: Ukrainian drones struck a Yandex supercomputer facility in Vladimir, taking it out. Suddenly, bot activity in US social media fell by 49%, confirming suspicions that this was the site of a massive Russian influence operation targeting US social media—mostly targeting MAGA.

@aurorablogspot.bsky.socialReposted by @westcountryvoices.bsky.socialAmerica is a plutocracy, and that causes huge social problems. If billionaires are in power: - they restrict free speech - minimum wages remain low - the rich abuse their money to influence politics - people die b/c healthcare is too expensive. - the media are manipulated. - X shows how that works.

@monkemma.bsky.socialReposted by @westcountryvoices.bsky.social🧵 Matt Goodwin demanded to be fact-checked live on air when he claimed the UK spent "£100 million PER YEAR on family planning and condoms in Pakistan". He then 'corrected' himself to £74.3 million, saying it was based on a "major news story from October 2025" He was, of course, still wrong... 1/30
@dorianlynskey.bsky.socialReposted by @westcountryvoices.bsky.socialI've just been reading Albert Speer's Inside the Third Reich for a thing and Trump definitely resembles late-stage Hitler: surrounded by sycophants, rejecting all criticism, denying facts about the war he's losing, making mad declarations, seeing enemies everywhere. Not great
