The US and multiple countries have what’s called A DEMOCRACY. America came into existence to escape a king. Why would we want another and one as completely ignorant to the people’s needs as this incompetent idiot? He’s in it for the grift and destruction. To hand us over to his rich oligarchs.

Garcia: "Some of the other photos that we did not put out today are incredibly disturbing"

Wonderfully funny man who brought joy to millions of people. How many human beings can claim that? RIP #stanleybaxter

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

I recommend the 6 part Irish Cities in Crisis, esp the last ep that acts as a summary but also a discussion on priorities. Great suggestions & examples of what works elsewhere. A key is to transition to cities as places to live in, not to just shop in. shows.acast.com/irish-cities... #Speirgorm

So Nigel Farage, who claims to be standing up for ordinary working people, has taken hundreds of thousands of pounds so far this year for a handful of hours as a "brand ambassador" for a gold bullion company, while facilitating a £9m donation from a crypto millionaire bylinetimes.com/2025/12/11/n...

Trumplethinskin creates his own version of reality & then expects us to believe it as if we don't have eyes, ears or functioning brains. #SAD 🤣

1. We've had a huge response to the launch of the Earth Rover Program, above all from small farmers, especially in Africa. Farmers all over the world are highly attuned to the need for a better understanding of soil, and have immediately seen the potential. 🧵 1/10 www.earthroverprogram.org

So it seems there will be no peerage this year for Vaughan Gething. Perhaps the reaction put Keir Starmer off? However Kemi Badenoch did nominate former Sec of State for Wales John Redwood. Here he is in 1993 miming the Welsh national anthem he totally knows the words to...

Letters in the Times - expressing disgust at anti-immigrant racism and the “Trump doctrine”- a meddling, authoritarian plan to undermine European democracies in order to have us all at the mercy of his USA or Putin’s Russia. For all our sakes and futures, that *must* not happen.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

That's because you're in Dubai.

If Trump would do the right thing he wouldn’t have to spend every last minute of his days back tracking hiding his corruption.

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy. Enough to power 23 million homes! U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

It looks like a furious duck wearing a scarf.

Agree 💯......

🇺🇸 "Trump wants to end the war, and that’s a fact. Yes, he has his own vision", - Zelensky 🇪🇺 "Europeans all say differently. There are pro-Russian Europeans, but also those who believe in America." 🇺🇦 Zelensky noted that everyone wants the war to end, but for Ukraine the key thing is how it ends.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

I turned off the news for 1 day to give myself a break, and came back to this. wtf is going on now?

Farage's protégés, colleagues & close friends. Not sure shouting "Bernard Manning" like a closing time drunk will help much here.

The saddest part of the FIFA ‘peace prize’ was how excited Senile Satan got over a fake award.

This story more than any other disgusts me. Yinka was a little 9 year old boy Farage was a swaggering bully aged 17 We all knew those bullies at school and in this case teenager Farage was a racist bully too

Spot on, Mr. Rather. 🎯 💯
