BREAKING: The Senedd has given its consent to Westminster's assisted dying bill. If the Senedd had blocked it, there would have been a constitutional headache for those backing the bill. Several MSs raised concerns, but were defeated.

Breaking MS NOW: Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available. Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

Défendre le Canada, c’est bâtir le Canada. La Stratégie industrielle de défense va permettre de créer des emplois, d’attirer de nouveaux investissements et de fournir à nos femmes et hommes en uniforme tout ce dont ils ont besoin pour défendre notre pays.

The work of defending Canada is the work of building Canada. The Defence Industrial Strategy will create good jobs, attract new investment, and make sure our women and men in uniform have everything they need to defend our country.

So then... here's some good news!

Sen. Kelly: "I'm going to be sitting there in the House to make a point to this president who…tried to indict me and send me to jail for something I said that he didn't like…I will be sitting there to make sure that he knows that so far he has failed."

2026 State of the Union

They are doing a great job at alienating what I thought were supposed to be likely Deform voters. Yesterday's cruel and unworkable immigration nonsense and now this - www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

State of the Onion might be an attractive alternative ? Best of luck anyone having to watch POTUS.

Dear President Zelenskyy, it is clear that the future of a democratic and prosperous Ukraine is in the EU. You have made a lot of progress in your reform efforts under the toughest of circumstances. Now, Ukraine must keep pushing forward.

Reform: There's too much state interference. Also Reform: We will force you to marry, stop you getting divorced, make you have babies, dictate your religious beliefs, control your sexuality, penalise you if you are disabled and deport you if you don't look right. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

'Who are all these wankers?', I ask myself, not realising I've strayed onto the Discover tab by accident. It's like walking into the wrong pub and not realising it until you've ordered a pint.

Going after Russia shadow tanker fleet decimates Moscow’s war chest. We must also flip the script in peace talks, away from pressure on Ukraine, to what Russia must to do for lasting peace in Europe. (2/2)

Four years into its war in Ukraine, Russia is not winning. By any measure, Moscow’s invasion is a total strategic failure. Within the Coalition of the Willing, we are clear that the fastest way to end the war is to increase support for Ukraine and intensify pressure on Russia. (1/2)

I respect the office of the President of the United States, but it is clear that Donald Trump does not. I refuse to be used as a prop in his theatrics, and so I will not attend tonight's State of the Union.

Russia has caused four years of suffering, violence and loss for Ukraine. Ukraine is ready for a just peace. Putin refuses to negotiate seriously. 🇩🇪 stands with 🇺🇦 as largest donor, providing military, civilian, financial and humanitarian support - for as long as it takes.

Four years ago Russia began it's full scale invasion of Ukraine. They expected it to fall in days. They were wrong. Long live Ukraine.

There's a point in this where he is clearly trying to argue that married women should not have finances independent of their husbands and also that they shouldn't be allowed to get divorced and you do basically realise this is a war against all of modernity, but particularly women.

Sounds like incitement to riot to me.

What is Kruger predicting here? “The only chance of unity for our country is Reform. If we don’t win, or if we win and then make a mess of it, I do fear for our country.”

We just visited an energy infrastructure site damaged by Russian missile strikes. We know Russia is using the freezing cold as a weapon of war. We are helping Ukraine resist and fight back.

What IS IT with these destructive ideas ? www.theguardian.com/environment/... Is it deliberate perversity, or are there other factors ? It's surely not worth this effort just to own the Libs ? Maybe it's all part of trying to appeal as 'different' and non woke.

Tonight, the colours of Ukraine are illuminating our headquarters. They stand as a reminder of the courage and resilience of its people, and the enduring pain of a war that continues, after four years. Our commitment to a just and lasting peace is unwavering. #StandWithUkraine

La première université dirigée par des Inuits au Canada va changer la donne pour le Nord.

Everybody understands that diplomacy is preferable to war. Yet after a year of talks, we still do not even have ceasefire. It is not Ukraine that is the obstacle to peace, Russia is. We must flip the script to what Russia must do to meet the basic conditions for a just and lasted peace.

UK Deportation Comm!nd - blo*dy load of "clacton"

GB Railfreight seem determined to use as many typefaces for their big GBRf logotypes on the sides of their locomotives as possible…

I didn't have the heart to explain to Zia Yusuf that a made up title doesn't become real just because you order a podium with it written on.

NEWS: The gold medal–winning U.S. Women’s Hockey Team has declined an invitation to attend Trump’s State of the Union. This comes after Trump was heard telling the men’s team he’d begrudgingly invite the women’s champions or risk impeachment.

If this policy doesn't expose Deform as a load of destructive and xenophobic "clactons" then nothing will. We've no need to wait for their derivative policies on tariffs and for the 10 Downing Street Ballroom.

OK here we are again. Throwing fuel on the imaginary flames. Exactly how many churches have been converted into Mosques ! fullfact.org/online/churc...

"Leo has called for 'deep reflection' about the way migrants are being treated under the Trump administration. "The Vatican refuted reports that he might travel to the US for July 4th celebrations, stating: 'The pope will not go to the United States in 2026'..." www.reuters.com/world/pope-l...

I know 'who' Deform are creating this policy framework for, and it isn't for the 99.9% in the UK, the vast majority of whom recognise the value, contribution and importance of immigration. This policy should sink them without trace having witnessed the chaos, cruelty and indiscriminate US actions.

NEWS: Former ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson has been ARRESTED in the UK after police searched two of his homes as part of an investigation into alleged misconduct in public office tied to the Epstein probe.

Latest nonsense from the 'happening' Met Office Exactly how useful is this ? Professionslism gone down the pan

Schrödinger’s champagne, poisoned and not poisoned until someone takes a sip.😆😆 Such a perfect meme. Love it. 🤣

Ah, very nice! An obscure Sofonisba Anguissola painting pops up in North Carolina: mymodernmet.com/lost-sofonis...

Zia’s parents were immigrants from Sri Lanka who came to the UK in the early 1980s and worked for the NHS. His father is a doctor; his mother is a nurse. Will he be deporting today’s migrant NHS workers, and how does he live with his revolting hypocrisy? Just asking questions…

Also tying in nicely with #MosaicMonday! The beautiful entrance mosaic bearing the name Crysede still survives at the former Penzance shop in Queen’s Square — a small but significant reminder of the town’s design heritage. @romanpalace.bsky.social

I love this – our vision is really taking shape in Devon. With the help of the Woodland Trust we’ve got kids planting thousands of trees - Oaks, Willows, Aspens, all under the expert guidance of Britain’s leading ecologist Chris Packham. www.ecotalk.co.uk

I have been denied entry to the SIS Building, Porton Down & GCHQ by the UK government.

I think you should go a bit easier on Fartage, I mean, who amongst us hadn't confused "Clacton" with "Chagos Islands"? They both begin with "C" so cut the poor guy some slack ffs
