Give me one good reason why Putin was given a red carpet reception with all the trimmings, yet Zelenskyy and European leaders aren’t even met by the President on arrival, let alone any trimmings. You can’t, there isn’t one, Trump idolises Putin, everything he does is at Putin’s behest. Traitor.

Hamas says it accepts proposal for Gaza ceasefire and release of hostages

It's not the most important thing at the moment, but I'm so embarrassed for America. To have world leaders concern themselves with symbols of placation for an overgrown manchild. To have the leader of a country fighting for its life thinking about what he wears to the White House.

Something so gross about that US journalist commenting on Zelenskyy’s suit, something that made me so uncomfortable. Children were murdered by Russia last night. And the way they are treating Zelenskyy, it doesn’t feel right.

The painfully stupid and needy Donald is trying to spin all the European leaders coming with Zelensky as somehow an honor. It is an honor to Zelensky. And a disgrace for Trump. They are there because they thought Trump treated Zelensky shamefully last time. And they don't trust him.

"Are the six wars you've settled in the room with us right now?"

Consider how chilling this is… Israel decided that killing the last remaining Al Jazeera journalists on the ground in Gaza Was better for its international reputation than allowing them to document what’s about to unfold Please read my piece on the link below...

Love it!

Zelenskyy: I told my colleagues – POTUS and EU – that Putin has no intention of making peace; he wants to occupy our country. We all truly understand this. Putin will not be able to deceive anyone. We need continued pressure for sake of peace – through not only US sanctions, but also EU ones More ⬇️

If he flies with one, dines with one and parties with one for years, he’s probably one himself.

'Honest Bob' Jenrick, a politician obviously & deliberately embracing xenophobia, does some weapons grade xenophobia & the BBC *apologises* for a Thought For The Day contributor calling it xenophobic. Licence fee payers need to know who makes these decisions & why. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

quite right, the last thing you expect to find in religion is a cry for compassion & a stand against those who demonise others

Today, the Chancellor has written in the Guardian. "In our first year Labour fixed the foundations – now we must build a stronger economy for a renewed Britain" "Labour is reversing a decade of stagnation and we’re making progress on wages, jobs and trade. But there is more to do"

Every day, politicians and the right wing media whip up hatred and fear of migrants. None of them say this is wrong. None of them make the positive case for immigration. None of them tell the truth. And then, today, someone did speak out, and the sodding BBC sodding apologised for them. I give up.

Trump: You know, grass has a lifetime like people have a lifetime, and the lifetime of this grass has long been gone. When you look at the parks where the grass is all tired, exhausted. We're going to redo the grass with the finest grasses. I know a lot about grass. Is he on grass?

People often don’t believe me when I tell them that even the Sun & the Mail greeted an interview I conducted with Nigel Farage, at his request, by condemning the obvious racism he displayed. I remain amazed that other interviewers still struggle to expose him. I won’t get another chance.

More real-time fact checking of the Liar in Chief please!

Because Portugal is in the EU and the signatory state of the Dublin Agreement, you bloody idiot from Dubai. #ukpolitics

It’s amazing that Washington DC can achieve its lowest crime rate in 30 years when 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is experiencing its highest crime rate in history.

NEW: Governor Newsom will be holding a press conference and rally at 11:30 AM PT tomorrow in Los Angeles regarding redistricting. The announcement is chef's kiss.

NEW: Gavin Newsom announces a "HISTORIC" event this Thursday

Who is paying for this and why won't anyone tell us? Because you know... if we're not told it's tempting as hell to think it's the British taxpayers

Listening to this again and remembering everything he was saying is so true - we need more Ken Robinsons fighting for a briad education! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

"Republicans Aren’t Gunning for 5 House Seats. They’re Aiming to Steal 42" Texas is just the start, writes Peter Rothpletz for Zeteo. The MAGA right’s newest scheme involves a three-pronged strategy to lock Democrats out of political power, perhaps forever. Read/share/subscribe:

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Another triumph well done Marsh family!

Schools do this kind of thing and then we wonder why attendance is such an issue. If we're going to make teaching virtual (and/or AI generated), logically young people don't need to physically be in school either. 🤷‍♀️ schoolsweek.co.uk/trust-has-no...

“If it (Twitter) was a child we’d have to refer it to prevent.” Yup

Former UK PM Gordon Brown urges Reeves to hike gambling taxes. Quite right too. Too many industries are free-riders, don't bear the cost of their pollution - gambling, processed food, tobacco, airlines, fossil fuels. They expect public purse to bear the social cost, shareholders take profits.

That’s exactly what he’s doing. So tacky. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad. All it’s missing is a shuffleboard court and a bingo caller.

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

I haven’t seen this for a long time Chris! Can you repost the 1000 years blog so I can refresh myself on what we all said! Hoping you are well & happy as I am!

For the 1st time in its 116-year history, the NAACP won’t invite a sitting U.S. president to its national convention. NAACP President Derrick Johnson called it “a waste of time to give a platform to fascism.” Well done! Every organization should follow suit. FDT

Not funny, but true: All tyrants eventually fall. But after that happens, the people and institutions that bowed down to them will never regain their reputations.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (sound) DAY 28 JULY 2025 THESE HORRIBLE TIMES 8 YEARS AGO TODAY Senator John McCain saved the Affordable Care Act Millions of Lives were saved by his "thumbs down" I thank him, he was my Senator here in AZ A republican but DECENT Sad that Lisa Murkowski failed us

Trump is making Mexico 🇲🇽 and Canada 🇨🇦 great again? Canada and Mexico are creating a new trade route, the Northern Corridor, that bypasses the United States entirely. This move is projected to cost the U.S. economy $125 billion while adding billions to the economies of Canada and Mexico.

It’s insane that we live in a country where folks can walk around in the street with an AR-15.
