I need some of the people insisting that attacks on Jews worldwide are the fault of Israel to explain the absence of attacks on Russians worldwide.

The National Archives should set the bar a little higher for their law research assistants if u ask me…

This is very very illegal in France. If the government doesn’t do anything about this then we might go ahead and say American companies are above the law.

‘Thanks so much for joining us on what I know is a very busy day for you. Tell me, what is your vision for the BBC as the corporation’s new director-general?’

“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

There are no words for Sudan-- the "blood bath" conclusion marks the complete failure of the international community. This is a horrific situation & like so many other wars, I doubt there will be justice for these survivors & their families.

Elon take Tolkien’s name out of your filthy mouth challenge

The current line taken by some Conservatives is "We will rip up ILR, something no govt has ever done before, but citizenship is different". Not reassuring. Precedents matter. "We don't abide by rules previously agreed" is the precedent.Once that's set, reassurances on other rules carry little weight

"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral." I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

Faragist parties have always hit a ceiling of support at 30% – that’s about as well as the Brexit Party or UKIP ever did, albeit in EU elections. Reform hasn’t broken through that, it’s just done it in Westminster polling as the vote share of the big two has collapsed. That may be significant.

What if Sarkozy was like ‘I’m already going to prison, might as well live a little’ and then robbed the Louvre

🙃

Can you explain this gap in your CV? Yes, actually that was the time when darkness took me and I strayed out of thought and time and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell

Am wondering if all of those suddenly deciding they’re against communities living “parallel lives” might reconsider their support of religious schools? Or indeed private ones?

Utterly despicable.

Bomb proof doors. Barbed wire. Coordinating with police. Community security service. Drilling congregants about the security protocol. Withholding the details of events publicly for security reasons. Always being on high alert. The list goes on. And it’s still not enough. What more can we do?

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like they’re a complete failure when they’re ill 🤒

🚨 BREAKING: The former leader of Reform UK in Wales, Nathan Gill, has pleaded guilty to #bribery, admitting he received corrupt payments as a Brexit Party MEP in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.

I realise the audience for this would just be "me, and also maybe other foreigners" but I would love to read something on why Brits, who are happy to live in a country where their every movement outside is filmed by CCTV, hate the idea of having ID cards, something plenty of countries happily have

The sheer hypocrisy of this. You have to "show your papers" to vote in a general election. I have to "show my papers" to examine a PhD thesis. I can't sing evensong down the road without "showing my papers". The Mail backed all these Tory changes. But suddenly Labour is turning us into Stasiland

Damn was it Mads Mikklesen

Damn right I’m eating the carp xx what do u think they’re for??

Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart. Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point. Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

The funny part is that none of these people support any real effort to have people retrain in STEM subjects

I'm old enough to remember US libertarians condemning the UK for much less than what he is now proposing. It was six months ago!

Gonna be savaged for this bc Bluesky, but I have a healthy social life and still don’t think only ever communicating with coworkers through a screen is as productive or enjoyable as working together irl. I just want to be able to ask questions or discuss something quickly without having to do admin

[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that

Doing a massive pile of dishes after making an elaborate meal: 🫡😌🧽🫧 Washing the ~2 cups I left around the flat during the week: 😭😠😤😵‍💫

Lets see you at 21 (ish)

There was a Tolkien round on the pub quiz, we’re so back

Co-signed times a thousand. “Other people have no interiority” is, fundamentally, a deeply evil belief to hold which will lead you exclusively to terrible places

Funny they don't seem so bothered by Jenrick's three homes (including a grade 1 listed manor) plus his forth home in his constituency rented at taxpayer expense. Wonder why.

Oh no, young people are behaving in a vaguely positive manner, it must be performative. We better take them down a notch or two

You guys are not thinking big enough about this! We can sell ads for aliens on the outside of the sphere for drop shipped stuff, like a four-dimensional Labubu or a Stanley cup for dark matter!

Munich, if Chamberlain had a barely disguised hard-on for Hitler.

Been a while since I posted a mirror selfie x

Smh, can’t men have hobbies any more

Adrian Bliss hitting the nail on the head - that stare into the camera at the end, chef kiss 👌 “Making Art In 2026”

behold: a woman

Luv 2 read about man made horrors beyond my comprehension

I am going to be a massive humorless asshole about woo-woo shit, no matter how seemingly harmless, for the rest of my life due to this. astrology, homeopathic medicine, etc etc it's all bullshit and it's not fucking harmless. there are people who will die due to this who would have otherwise lived.

Got to show the bf around Budapest 🥰

Honestly, we need to start seeing algorithm regulation the same way that we see advertising regulation. We won't let McDonalds put a Big Mac advert on the tube because that's too powerful a platform but YouTube and TikTok using algorithms that push really awful politics to people is apparently fine?

Obligatory airport pint

A huge perk of being mostly into authors who are already dead is that you’re not going to one day stumble on their social media posts and find out they’re dumb as rocks

It’s striking how many people on the left take it as axiomatic that support for democracy as a principle must mean a commitment to maximalist internal democracy, without considering the idea that the latter can make you *less* representative of society or even the communities you hope to represent

Cut off the UK's RAF Cyprus airbase being used for logistics supply flights to Israel until they let food and humanitarian aid in under the previous tried and tested UN system. Stop enabling a regime using famine as a weapon of war.

What is it with left wingers and hanging on to thoroughly discredited leaders. Could they just, you know, not?
