How’s that for taking back control? www.nursingtimes.net/workforce/lo...

Ukraine has now moved to tit-for-tat responses to the Kremlin. Every attack on Kyiv is met with a still more devastating assault on Moscow. The difference: Moscow is trying to terrorize civilians, Ukraine is striking only military targets. www.thetimes.com/world/russia...

NEW INFO HAS REVEALED that the 28-year-old Mexican man killed while running from ICE last week was just visiting on short tourist visa—and already had a plane ticket to go home. newrepublic.com/post/213277/...

$100 to any reporter who asks him, "so you're saying Capitol Police should've shot dead everyone who breached the Capitol on January 6?"

Because appointing someone who was fined £100 for not reporting that she found the phone she thought was stolen is so much more serious than choosing as your right hand man someone who was imprisoned after being charged with money laundering, blackmail and extortion.

Burnham’s Day 1 as Prime Minister: A Homeless Shelter, a Palace and Downing Street www.nytimes.com/2026/07/20/w... Didn’t see anything about this in UK press, even the Guardian

My statement on the United States administration’s intention to impose new tariffs on Canadian goods:

Very good news, especially when it comes to defence. At least Healey knows what is needed. Plus avoiding factionalism by having neither Miliband nor Mahmood as chancellor.

A very good first discussion with @andyburnham.bsky.social. We are both committed to bringing the EU and the UK closer and closer. Together, we will work towards a successful Summit that delivers for our businesses, our young people and our shared security.

“But farming!”. Why not do both as these farmers do? Kominek sees agrivoltaics as a solution for cash-strapped, struggling farmers. His array, which cost $2m to set up, generates 2 gigawatt hours a year, which he sells to a local utility.

No one wants to hear about the 2020 election anymore, we want to hear about when the Epstein files are going to have some accountability.

Lee Anderson once got his mate to pretend he didn't know him in a failed attempt to trick a journalist. Just let that sink in.

Epstein survivors testifying at Blanche’s confirmation hearing while over 1,200 former DOJ staff oppose his nomination. The scrutiny is intense — and nothing about this is normal. Tell your Senators to reject him before the committee vote.

"My message to the people of the UK is that I'll train the new guy but you're going to have to stick with one of them eventually."

This is an amazing discovery...and wait until you read about how American pharma company Eli Lilly charges $300 for a vial of insulin that costs $5 to manufacture.

Just awful

substack.com/@hrnews1/not... Not a cure yet, but a very hopeful breakthrough. There needs to be a lot more research and clinical trials. This research began in the U.S. It sucks that they’ve defunded Science huh?

Seems important

Absolutely

Investigators acknowledged they have no proof as to what is causing the cyclosporiasis outbreak that has sickened an estimated 7,000 people.

Ludicrous and embarrassing that in 2026, a leader of a democratic country has to go and bow before a hereditary monarch and ask permission to form a government.

Electoral Reform Society: "Andy Burnham’s entry into Downing Street today means that for the first time in modern history we have a prime minister who is openly committed to proportional representation."

Hard to believe, but maybe, just maybe, trump is lying, again.

Amazing how many people are finally spotting the media makes up crap up unnamed sources. I'm struggling to be polite.

Pretty cool that the UK had both its first Hindu prime minister and now its first Catholic prime minister in the last four years and neither was treated as a particularly big deal.

Ed Miliband and Shabana Mahmood both walking up to No10 at the same time. The new PM is keeping us guessing til the very end!

For months, Senate Republicans said Jack Smith "spied" on Congress and broke the law. A judge just unsealed the files. Inside: routine phone records—that a call happened, when, how long. No message content at all. They lied. Here's the proof:

Worth remembering that the Kremlin spent months calling reports of North Korean troops ‘fake news’ and a ‘Western fabrication’.

But unfortunately, he woke up in time to embarrass himself and the United States on the world stage.

American politician playbook. When you're losing big, pull the communism card. This has been done for decades.

Canadian plane dropping water on the Los Angeles forest fire. Neighbors helping neighbors. We are sorry your current leader is a monster.

😂😂

We're less than a decade away from turning into a third world country. The sort of country where corrupt politicians are bought for £5 million and have all their expenses paid by convicted criminals.

Ed Miliband as foreign secretary is actually a very good idea - and should ensure climate crisis isn't lost amidst Ukraine, Iran, Gaza and other conflicts BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cg... Healey appointed chancellor and Miliband becomes foreign secretary as Burnham picks cabinet - BBC News

DJ Trump IS the MOST corrupt President in ALL of U.S. History. Period. Not even debatable anymore.

Louise Haigh to be first secretary of state as well as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, just to make clear the importance of her role supporting Burnham from No. 10.

Burnham’s right: the cost‑of‑living crisis is hitting people & families hard. There’s a simple way to start fixing it - repair our broken relationship with Europe. Burnham should scrap Labour’s Brexit red lines, urgently negotiate a new customs union & re-join the single market.

The sound you can hear is a thousand keyboards tapping across sell side research teams as people google “John Healey fiscal policy views”.

Brilliant appointments by Andy Burnham.How the media speculation was so wrong!The media have failed & proved themselves failures again.The govt is accountable to the electorate not to the media so long may secrecy continue.The media.if this were politicians would be demanding their own resignations!

Andy Burnham makes former Defence Secretary John Healey his Chancellor, contrary to the many earlier briefings that it would be Shabana Mahmood. Healey was previously a Treasury minister under Gordon Brown

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

I like to think he's done this to make political journalists look stupid, and honestly I admire it.

Airbus is putting its data beyond America's reach. They will run on Scaleway, a French provider, instead. A US law lets American authorities request data held by US firms, including data stored in servers outside the country. Europe is slowly trying to lean less on American technology.

And it did happen during Covid

I know it's not the biggest news of the day, but I just spotted this... One of Keir Starmer's last acts in Govt is this: Laying legislation that will legalise 'plug-in solar' (aka balcony solar) panels in Britain It means plug-in solar panels do not (legally) have to be wired in by an electrician.

Bev would be a brilliant mayor. She has been an excellent leader

I will build a better, fairer and greener Greater Manchester 🌳

The Farage show is tediously self-pitying. Even if his idiotic by-election stunt distracts temporarily from scrutiny of his dodgy finances, his inability to accept and make amends for the significant role he himself plays in the toxification of our politics will not. (Letters in The Times)

It's fascinating to watch commentators who sat completely silently for a decade as the Conservative Government changed its leader four times in a row mid-term, now suddenly discover such a keen interest in the concepts of 'mandates' and 'legitimacy'
