"'Our operations are lawful, targeted and focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community,' Bovino said..." Again, Liam is **five**. Five years old.

you don’t usually see a shot/chaser in one post but i applaud the efficiency

China has the largest installed wind capacity in the world.

Carney at Davos: "And this aphorism of Thucydides is presented as inevitable, as the natural logic of international relations reasserting itself." Trump at Davos:

DUTCH WARN TULIP BOOM COULD FALTER WITHOUT WIDER ADOPTION

The UK was better off in the EU and Europe was better off with the UK in it. All of this Trump driven chaos underlines that and you can practically hear Putin rubbing his hands in Moscow. WE have deliberately weakened ourselves, our security and our region for absolutely no good purpose at all.

Norway and Denmark need to pull out of the Olympics to send a message to the rest of the world…

11th January 2026 Vs 18th January 2026

Just saw it noted that 100% of the world’s Ozempic supply comes from Denmark, as does a somewhat smaller percentage of the world’s insulin. Almost as if it’s really quite a small world!

This man should be President.

Leonardo DiCaprio has stopped using Wikipedia.

actually it's called Reform because they're trying to re-form the Conservative party but in the tent next door

Republican South Carolina state Rep. RJ May sentenced to 17.5 years in federal prison today. 5 counts of distributing child sex abuse material. He shared hundreds of images of kids, including pictures of adults raping seven-year-olds. Moms of Liberty had named him its Legislator of the Year.

🔴 Last week the Free Speech Union got a High Court writ to prevent the publication of a list of its donors So we decided to investigate who *does* fund Toby Young's outfit Wanna see? 🫣 New on Democracy for Sale: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/who-funds-...

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.

Nadhim Zahawi MP: In Farage’s Britain, it would be legal to discriminate against me on the grounds of race conservativehome.com/2015/03/23/n...

Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

Frey on Noem: "That was some wild and crazy stuff. It sounds like she doesn't believe a single word she's saying right now. And I don't know if Donald Trump was drinking a glass of water if she'd actually be able to speak."

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

man, fuck the Telegraph www.telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/2...

I think it's very important that Rupert Lowe's "Million Nonce March" gets widespread media coverage. Critical to amplify diverse voices.

Fucking hell. The cherry on top of this hideous confection of race-baiting brutality is, of course, immigration agents targeting Native Americans. Say it slowly: Native Americans. This isn't about immigration. It isn't even about immigrants. It's all raw white supremacy.

Oh for fuck's sake. #ofcom

Disgraceful article by BBC News. It's abundantly clear from the videos what happened. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Make it viral.

I think this is the best analysis of the state of British media I have read for years and yet it is also ostensibly a work of satirical fiction. From the enchanted keyboard of @roberthutton.co.uk thecritic.co.uk/bring-back-d...

Jesus Christ these dumb bloodthirsty freaks

If you missed this question to Nigel Farage from The Critic's Rob Hutton – and it was over an hour into the press conference – then it was a particularly good one. The answer was... vague.

I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom. This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.

Happy new year! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

My 2025 audit: 1. I was wrong about Starmer - I thought there was more there than there is; his failure to kick back hard against racists, bigots and xenophobes has been a huge failure, morally and politically. 2. I was absolutely right about how the second Trump presidency would play out.

it's crazy that 500 years ago, you would see the ruler of your country maybe once in your life and hear whispers that they're the Sun God, but now with social media, you get to see on a daily basis that they're the most unhinged, idiotic, and unhappy person you know

Appalling comments by the leader of the opposition. The scapegoating of immigrants has to stop. Now.

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” - 1984, George Orwell

You are Elon Musk. You are the world’s richest man. You have wealth the emperors of the old worlds never dreamed of. Every good, every experience the world has to offers is open to you. You spend your days of limitless access reading and sharing the thoughts of a man named cumlasagna1.

just wept through the "gay marriage is now legal in the US!" episode of Modern Family and god, fuck, how grim that we so recently lived through times when it felt like things were getting better and would maybe just keep getting better and everything's just so fucking grim and ominous now, agh

This is deranged even by Trump standards. And that is saying something.

I don’t usually like sharing Question Time clips, because it’s a dreadful shitshow of a TV programme that needs putting out to pasture, but just occasionally …

Farage's memory being 'fluid' again.

I've written about the Farage antisemitism allegations - and my dismay at the behaviour of some who, now that the accused is more to their political liking, seem keen to sweep this all under the carpet. www.jewishnews.co.uk/farages-scho...

Here is Pete Hegseth, on several occasions in 2016, lauding the military "ethos" that means they will refuse to follow unlawful orders - which he reckons is treason, now that they are his orders - because "there have to be consequences for abject war crimes". Deserves to go viral.

Intensely funny because it seems like the vast majority of people at that event were convinced it was fully autonomous and Musk has repeatedly recently claimed they're not tele-operated www.reddit.com/r/robotics/c...

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE HYPHENS

Ilhan Omar rose from a single parent immigrant family where her dad drove a taxi to her current position. Trump is the kid of a racist wealthy slum landlord who headed multiple failed businesses. One of these people is the example of failed ambition and it's not her. What a racist piece of shit.

Admiral Holsey is to this serial murder in the Caribbean as Hugh Thompson was to the butchery at My Lai -- that is to say a great American and a lone, solitary credit to its armed forces in a moment when a great and unremovable stain was put upon the honor of the entire American military.

As Jonathan Gullis joins Reform UK, it's only fair to remind people of this. All forgotten, is it, Dickie? ~AA
