Farage forgets that the receipts are everywhere This should be enough to trigger the investigation of the Bannon / Epstein connections to Brexit and of course emails exist verifying those connections already

I could get on board with a lot of this. Would probably keep the Elizabeth and Victoria towers too, but my heresey is that the gothic revival bit of the Palace is mostly Not a Good Building

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Sometimes democracy survives just because a penguin had a shovel and boundaries.

A LAND VALUE TAX WOULD SOLVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry could not help it)

You can call it Storm Benjamin if you like but Storm BP would be better.

Then fix it.

Colbert's reaction to Jimmy Kimmel's suspension is pure satirical gold. www.youtube.com/shorts/csBWo...

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

Ed Davey, "Elon Musk has applied to sell energy in this country" "When someone is calling for the overthrow of a democratically elected government, we should take that seriously" "I don't think Elon Musk is a fit and proper person for us to do business with"

Jacqui Smith called Musk's comments "dangerous and wrong" & "wholly unacceptable" on calling for violence. After a wobbly weekend, the pressure to notice what was said and to respond has got the government to an important baseline

If any American is wondering why your tourism numbers are down this year, this may help to explain it.

Ghislaine Maxwell planting fake Trump letters in books decades ahead of schedule makes her less of a socialite and more of a Bond villain with a serious time machine.

Pres Trump gave Vladimir Putin until today to come to the negotiating table with Pres Zelenskiy. He hasn’t. Trump says he’s ’very disappointed’, but doesn’t seem to be planning to take any action to persuade him to talk peace…

Reform councils are thinking about legal action over asylum hotels but can't find a councillor who'll stick around long enough to see it through.

Deeply shocked by Israel’s deliberate killing of the Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, his colleague Mohammed Qreiqeh and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa. Israel has now killed at least 186 journalists in this war.

Ha ha ha. Tr**p imposes his deadline tariffs and he still thinks they're paid by the exporting country. Not one of his tame gimps has the bottle to tell him he's wrong, probably because they're stupid cowards. US inflation is gonna go bigly.

Tax Havens are a con they shouldn't exist, you shouldn't be allowed to say properties in the UK are actually in a tax haven in the Cayman Islands and then dodge all the tax earned on them. But you can, and it is costing you a fortune.

In today’s Russian papers: a new nuclear submarine, “car manufacturing down 30%...car market in one of its worst crises”, plus a warning that “political rehabilitation” of dictator Joseph Stalin leads to “rehabilitation of Stalin’s methods and practices.” #ReadingRussia

Wishing my American friends independence from their new king.

As a young reporter in Northern Ireland I twice saw kids squirming on the ground in agony after being shot in the knees by the IRA. The memory still haunts me. Kneecap should be free to sing whatever they want - but why do they choose to celebrate such a vicious form of torture?

Here's my submission to the Met Office name our storms competition. Let them know your choices at this link: www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...

I decided to become a journalist aged fifteen after reading ‘1984’ and being appalled at the thought that governments could rewrite history. Orwell knew the USSR did it. Now China pretends the Tiananmen massacre didn’t happen. It did. I was there, and saw it for myself.

First, a statue of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin appears in the Moscow Metro. Then a Kremlin adviser says that “from a legal standpoint the USSR still exists.” In Russia the past hangs over the present. My report from Moscow.

In recent days Moscow and Pyongyang finally confirmed that North Korea had sent troops to fight for Russia against Ukraine (in Russia’s Kursk region). Time to recall what Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko told me last October when I raised the issue.

An inspiring and emotional heart-felt and very personal testimony, beautifully written by Allison Becker, Liverpool and Brazil goal keeper. You'll never walk alone. www.theplayerstribune.com/alisson-beck...

Nice solution. There's a startup in the usa that connects your house to a public charging pole outside. The house owner gets a fee if someone else uses it and just pays his own tariff when he uses it.

Shopping at Walmart will soon feel like viewing a minimalist art exhibit on failed trade policy.

It it too early to call?

A Chinese Daoist maxim from the third century BC: ‘Govern a great empire as you would cook a small fish’ — i.e. don’t keep poking it and stirring it up.

The insiders seem to have had a 20min warning before the public

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

For World Piano Day I play the Irish ballad The Rose of Tralee.

One piece of misinfo we need to address is the claim that there are ‘vulnerabilities’ in Signal. This isn’t accurate. Reporting on a Pentagon advisory memo appears to be at the heart of the misunderstanding: npr.org/2025/03/25/n.... 2/

Don’t stop trying

For St David’s Day we present our latest Channel 4 News/BBC News long-distance musical collaboration. Ciaran Jenkins (cello) is in Glasgow and I’m in Moscow (on the piano). Together we play Myfanwy. @c4ciaran.bsky.social

So the US kleptocrats aren't going to be given Ukraine's minerals for nothing. That's not a surprise. A people that chose in 2014 not to remain vassals of Putin choose not to become vassals of the convicted felon currently in the White House.

Donald Trump is saying if Ukraine hadn't dressed so provocatively Russia wouldn't have invaded her.
