“These men came here…to storm these beaches…not to gain anything for ourselves, not to fulfill any ambitions that America had for conquest, but just to preserve freedom, systems of self-government in the world.” ~Eisenhower to Walter Cronkite, “D-Day + Twenty Years,” 1964. Image: Eisenhower NHS.

With exactly 1 month to go so far we have sold 6 tickets. Now I'm not expecting this to rival Salute or anything but as we need 20 people to cover the cost of hiring the shop before we get into the fundraising area I'd really appreciate it if this could be shared around a bit. Thanks! #SpreadTheLard

my grandad was at Normandy (RMC) and eventually made the papers reverse Private Ryan-style after him and three brothers *all* made it home safely

No clip has ever captured the essence of born again Christians quite like this

If one of my party's recent prime ministers had redecorated the Number 10 flat in a way that ended up involving TWO separate inquiries and a Wikipedia page, I would simply not have put out a press release confirming that the current prime minister had spent less than the allowance he was given.

It may seem like nerdy detail that the increasing weight of cars is worsening potholes, but it matters. The car makers push to sell wider and heavier cars is increasing road maintenance costs and that affects us all. Not to mention worse crash outcomes and less space to pass (wider) parked cars.

Yesterday saw an overdue return of O Group to the table. We played (in 6mm) the first scenario from the Normandy book; 6th Royal Scottish Fusiliers (Ben and I) were to assault St Manvieu in the early stages of Op Epsom against the 26th PzGrenadiers (@andycrow.bsky.social). #spreadthelard #wargaming

It's only worth going back to the Moon if it makes us look properly again at Earth, and appreciate how beautiful, precious and fragile what we have here is. The most famous images from Apollo aren't about the Moon - they're pictures of Earth. We need to stop taking our home for granted.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

NBC: Under intl law, hitting civilian infrastructure is prohibited. Why is POTUS threatening war crimes? LEAVITT: POTUS has made it quite clear to the Iranian regime their best move is to make a deal or else N: Which objectives would destroying a desalination plant help? LEAVITT: Haley, go ahead

So, pull up a chair, and let's look at where we are three weeks into the sh-tshow that is Trump's Iran war. TL:DR it's not great, but it's not catastrophic (yet) either and there's an opportunity here. 1/n

"Organisation that I've already brought into jeopardy through my prior reckless conduct will be in jeopardy if members don't bail me out of my latest round of reckless conduct"

It is beyond unfair and traitorous that Trump keeps attacking the country helping the US while defending the one helping Iran kill American soldiers. He sides with Russia like a traitor

“Farage has said he wishes the party "hadn't bothered" to take minority control of Worcestershire County Council, because of its financial problems” V much summing up his approach to power. Grifting and gobshiting - yes please. Hard work and responsibility - god no. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Their military is destroyed...except for the drones, mines, close range missiles Oh and btw we need a multi-international force to escort and secure the Strait.

“Dear Diary, Super excited to say that I’ll be serving my Clacton constituents today by flying to Mar-a-Lago to meet Donald Trump and to undermine the UK government. God I love being a patriot!”

“To all influencers and other tax exiles in Dubai, the tax authorities wish you a safe return to France”

So proud to call Keir Starmer our PM right now. Speaking to the media this afternoon he called out Trumps disgusting rewriting of history over how the UK & European countries came (& died) to support the US after 9-11. "I consider President Trump's remarks to be insulting, and frankly appauling."

Vance on Jan. 8: "You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy's protected by absolute immunity." Vance today: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd."

The Belgian prime minister at Davos with an interesting analysis from a European perspective.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

How it started/how it's going

Worth every second

Nigel Farage has welcomed TWO known fraudsters into Reform UK in less than a week! Robert Jenrick ADMITTED to unlawfully helping a Tory donor avoid paying £45M to a council. Nadhim Zahawi had to pay £5M to HMRC for not paying his taxes! IT'S A GANG!

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU." "Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

For those of us not in the cult, this is what we hear when anyone from the Trump administration speaks. For the people in the back, this is satire and so well done…

Specifically, a protest song about how the sons of the rich were able to avoid fighting, like fighting-age Donald Trump who got four deferments for being in college and another for bone spurs.

RIP irony

Well, happy anniversary to one of the finest of festive exchanges

On this day in 1813, the Battle of Chateauguay was fought near present-day Ormstown, Quebec. A combined force of 1,530 British, Canadian and Mohawk repelled 2,600 Americans who were attempting to invade Lower Canada.

"You can't buy new miniatures until you've finished what you've already got!" Nonsense. I would surely die. #Nerdlings

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

“The Times today reveals that eight Reform UK councils have indicated that they will raise council tax after struggling to find huge cuts in public spending.” Imagine Reform running the country.
