This is some 'Black Mirror' shit.

Israel’s plan to strike Iran would put American lives at risk, Rubio said. Rather than confronting Israel, the U.S. joined their war.

This piece is disturbing because it reads like a press release that had to include a bit of journalism in it. There’s virtually no critical analysis of the danger of what’s happening. The only mention of the word “law” is a UN quote.

🔴Nigel Farage’s Long History of Crying ‘Fraud’ Whenever His Party Loses Elections The Reform UK leader has a long record of blaming his own party’s election defeats on “cheating” by ethnic minorities, yet no evidence of it can ever be found, reports @josiahmortimer.bsky.social

Just a reminder, as some question religious influence in UK politics. There are only two major countries in the world that guarantee clergy to hold seats in parliament. The United Kingdom and Iran. The UK automatically seats 26 Bishops in the House Of Lords.

You can just say things.

Yesterday, the magnificent Allister Heath headline generator demonstrated how thin the line between parody & reality can be. Today, Dick Littlejohn uses his Daily Mail column to explain that he 'knows' how much better 'things' were 25 years ago, because he has been watching old episodes of The Bill.

BADENOCH "Yes we lost spectacularly badly, and these kind of results will be what my party can expect more of under my leadership." #GortonAndDenton

STARMER “Yes, this is bad result for the government. That is why I am taking decisive action and I have sacked Peter Mandelson again.”

Anyway, as I understand it, having 5 MPs gets you unlimited coverage on Sky and a reserved seat on Question Time, I hope Polanski has sorted a rota out

Riley Gaines just lost this race, too.

END THE PATRIARCHY....... 👇

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

A year since his legal victory — and after six judges recused themselves — Glossip is asking a new trial judge to release him from jail.

Trump spent the last 8 months saying that "the nuclear threat of Iran was totally obliterated" by Operation Midnight Hammer which "set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons for many years to come." Were they lying then or are they lying now?

oh come on

Our latest story on Labour Together and its smearing of journalists being repeated numerous times in the House of Parliament today Starmer has now asked his ethics advisor to examine the conduct of Cabinet Office minister Josh Simons

Darren Jones keeps saying that Labour Together is a 'separate' organisation from Labour This really doesn't tally with reality at all. LT ran Starmer's leadership campaign; his government is populated by LT people; LT gave £2.5 million to Labour ahead of 2024 general election....

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good. Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies. So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

*30%* ffs. I wonder what that figure would be by now if our media weren’t still almost exclusively populated by intellectually indolent wankers too pompous to admit that they never had the first idea what they were encouraging everyone else to vote for. (With a side of plums who deployed ‘balance’.)

A fucken letter of reprimand? Seriously? Arrest and deport the immigrant!

If I were any of the victims that survived or the families of the ones that didn't? I would take Sam Altman & company to the fucking cleaners. I'm talking suing the company for so much money that his great-grandchildren would be paying my family line in installments.

Kleptocracy only lifts the biggliest boats.

Palantir's most recent scandal, covertly working with Topham Guerin to discredit the work of Good Law Project, is just the latest in a career littered with this kind of activity, beginning with the "Team Themis" scandal in 2011. They've been doing this for decades. goodlawproject.org/how-palantir...

Buckingham Palace has a long and ruthless tradition of distancing itself from scandal. Nothing matters to the Firm more than the perpetuation of the Firm itself. Be wary of stories that seek to put Charles and Co in a good light because a lot of it is nothing more than crisis and PR management.

Two men accused of roughly the same offence, leaking sensitive documents from a position of responsibility. One arrested, taken from his home, spent his birthday in a police station. The other free to pursue a luxury lifestyle around London. Shows you who has real power.

🚨 In opposition the Labour party strongly supported mandating swift bricks in new homes. Last November - in a move which shocked and left conservationists aghast - the Labour government used a three-line whip to vote down a House of Lords amendment to make the bricks mandatory for new buildings

Braverman told her Reform audience that “we’ll repeal the Equality Act”: Remember when Holocaust survivor, Joan Salter, asked her to apologise for calling asylum seekers a swarm and invasion?Braverman refused - she told Joan who she was - she believed her - so should we. youtu.be/krpxl7hUQVE?...

Allegations of glyphosate spraying by Israel over south Lebanon demand careful assessment of environmental and human health impacts. The Government should provide clarity on its assessment and whether it has talked with Israel on this issue. #EnvironmentalJustice #InternationalLaw

If yes, please share and take action in 5 seconds: protectthewild.org.uk/endhuntingnow/

Last year the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC) gave the Met Police war crimes unit a complaint against 10 Britons serving in the IDF. We've revealed there are over 2,000. PILC says our findings show “the issue is far deeper than we could ever believe.” www.declassifieduk.org/over-2000-br...

Exclusive -- The UK government has awarded a £10m contract to a firm overseen by Bezalel Smotrich, the Israeli finance minister who is sanctioned by Britain. Smotrich said last week that Israel is “burying the idea of a Palestinian state". www.declassifieduk.org/uk-awarded-c...

Genocidal Israel has used US thermal weapons to “evaporate” almost 3,000 Palestinians, an investigation reveals. The BDS movement calls for an end to global Israeli-US impunity through meaningful accountability measures now. Boycott. Divest. Sanction.

Energy giants generated over £125bn profits on their UK operations since 2020. Some of the highest prices in the world. Destroying industry fuelling inflation creating poverty. 120,000 people a year die in fuel poverty, Govts appease corporations. None curbs profiteering.

🚨When we go to hospital, it’s rarely for something easy. But patients and their families are being immediately met with fees just to park their cars. And these charges are going up! I’ve just signed the petition to Scrap hospital parking charges now act.38degrees.org.uk/act/parking-...

“Aides said [Trump] talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that prompted Chief of Staff John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter.” —Miles Taylor, who worked for the first Trump Administration.

This NYT column by @polgreen.bsky.social is the truest thing I've ever seen about the REAL reason public trust in the media collapsed
