Putin's plan to end the war in Ukraine. Cartoon by Michael de Adder

I know who Nus Ghani MP is - not because we always agree - but because she’s been serving her constituency (as well as lewks) since 2015. Who the hell is Lucy White?! Ah, a quick google search reveals her as a rentagob for GB ‘news.’ I know which one is qualified to chair the budget debate.

Press: "What kind of concessions are the Russians going to have to make?" Trump "Their big concession is they stop fighting and they don't take any more land." Yeah. That's basically how surrendering works.

🚨WOW! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 47,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 50,000 tonight. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

New information here on how Trump has turned the Department of Justice—which is supposed to work on your behalf—into his own personal law firm, punishing his enemies and rewarding his friends. "Worse than Watergate" doesn't begin to cover it. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles https://theonion.com/trump-still-polling-well-with-working-class-american-pedophiles/

Trump is hurtling into lame duck territory. His ratings are off a cliff. It's his second term, and the next generation of Republicans are desperately distancing themselves from him, fearing wipeout. Nigel Farage, meanwhile, clearly hasn't noticed and thinks it's all going to be happy days ahead.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Your homework for this Friday night: 1) Read his answers out loud. 2) Tell me he's not out of his mind.

I honestly have no idea why people continue to report his big announcements when they always turn out to be bs.

If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.

It would appear that Putin now has his useful idiots on both ends of the British political spectrum. How very convenient for Russia that Farage and Sultana are doing Putin’s bidding.

I guess it's not surprising that in the land of the troll they're very good at trolling...

"When artificial intelligence is used to diagnose cancer or automate soul-crushing tasks that require vapid toiling, it makes us more human and should be celebrated. But when it sucks out the core process of advanced cognition, cutting-edge tools can become an existential peril." Excellent article.

The thing to understand about the language policing of the MAGA folks declaring angrily that (accurately) calling Trump a fascist is incitement is that this standard only goes one way. Their violent rhetoric is 'legitimate,' after all, because they don't view you as fully human anyway.

“Nigel Farage says….” has been the headline of the decade. Look at what he does, ffs. Look at his tax affairs. Look at his grifting. Look at his lies. Look at his prejudice. Look at his allies. Look at his manifesto. Look at his Brexit. He is the embodiment of personal greed and national failure.

Mistreating & abusing citizens is not morally more reprehensible than mistreating & abusing those deemed “illegal”...[but] if we turn a blind eye to such treatment on the grounds that “it’s only illegals being treated this way”, it will not remain “only illegals” observer.co.uk/news/columni...

To a large degree, the collapse of American power is driven by the stupidity of its leaders.
