Imagine coming up with a proposal so stupid, so unworkable, so thoughtless, that it makes Robert Jenrick look sane by comparison. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Being compared to Enoch Powell and endorsed by Tommy Robinson - I wonder if this is how Starmer was hoping things would go

The United States has recorded its highest annual measles cases in 33 years. The milestone marks a public health reversal in defeating a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease as the anti-vaccine movement gains strength.

Gary Lineker: "This is the mistake the BBC makes. The BBC tries to appease the people that hate the BBC, rather than worrying about the people that love the BBC."

I’m sure Matt Goodwin will be along shortly to tell us all whether LNER Customer Service Host Samir Zitouni counts as British or not. news.sky.com/story/train-...

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

EU Fisheries Ministers have ignored science again. 2026 Baltic quotas breach the #CommonFisheriesPolicy and the multiannual plan for the Baltic, risking collapse of herring, sprat & cod. Short-term profits are being prioritised over long-term sustainability. ⤵️

Lots of people are asking me if I’ve voted yet! So, yes I have. But I also wanted to take some time to remember my former colleague Kerry Jenkins & why this by election is taking place.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Rachel Reeves risks damaging the environment and removing local planning decisions to improve financial forecasts in order to save her budget

29 cases have gone to the ECHR since 1980. 16 were upheld in the government's favour meaning only 13 people were allowed to stay in that time ( David Gaulke, The Times) So why do they want to quit it! It removes the everyday rights of all of us with no recourse to law.

It's why any workable ID Card proposal can't avoid the need to provide citizens with a physical document that everyone can afford

I’m old enough to remember when Conservative Party leaders believed in law and order.

Sad to say, #sophiefromromania, the squirrel won’t climb back down

Have you ever heard a Shahed drone? Ukrainians do every day and night: the sickening moped-like buzz circling above, the fear of waiting for the final explosion. The Harmoniia Orchestra created an overture imitating a Russian Shahed attack, capturing the sound of terror. 🎥Harmoniia Orchestra

Clown moment from Michael Gove, "If we had a Tory Mayor in London rather than Sadiq Khan, we would not have the tube misery people are experiencing." Gove forgets there were 20 tube strikes during the time Boris Johnson was the Conservative Mayor of London. (H/T @implausibleblog.bsky.social)

They droned a second boat. We’re still going to Gaza. Pressure the Irish government any way you can to support the flotilla and sanction the country attacking us

Imagine waking up in the morning and finding a paper telling you: “Leave your home .leave your city.leave your memories.leave everything that belongs to you.” An entire city with its history, its streets, the voices of its children, 🔗 tinyurl.com/3sem5b4p

It's well known that Bowheads live to be 200+ years old but here's a bonkers thing that we didn't realize until we had Nick on the pod - that means a whale alive today could potentially have been alive before whaling started AND they lived through the decades of whaling & the century of recovery🤯

He's EXTREMELY tetchy.

TAPPER: Hepatitis A, whooping cough, & chickenpox cases are rising in Florida. Before you made this decision to lift vaccine mandates, did your dept do any analysis of how many new cases there will be? LADAPO: Absolutely not T: You didn't even do a projection? L: It's an issue of right & wrong

And with no vaccinations

As @greenparty.org.uk has always said, the #BadgerCull is unscientific, unjustified, inhumane and disastrous for the #Biodiversity on these battered islands protectthewild.substack.com/p/over-23000...

An asymmetry of what’s acceptable between the major parties is already developing. Just as it has in the US. Primarily driven by media and social media coverage.

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do to stop my simpleminded nephew from destroying your country."

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

In a functioning democracy with a decent press, these would be wall-to-wall headlines: Fury as Farage Urges U.S. to Punish Britain Farage Accused of Undermining UK Sovereignty But no... "The stamp duty receipt that ended Angela Rayner’s career" FML

Tonight, my 77-year-old mother ripped this flag off a dual carriageway bridge near Birmingham. Note the swastika. My dad's dad died fighting the Nazis.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

It would be humiliating if Kim Jong Un’s armoured train to China breaks down and he has to take the armoured bus replacement service.
