Entertaining to see 'progressive' Americans immediately suggest (even jokingly) leveraging superpower military status to reverse a football decision they disagree with. Then finding to their horror the next day, that's exactly who they are, that's what their country always was.

I see we're showing how civilisationally superior we are by doing inburnings again.

Am I supposed to feel sympathy for Fisk or Venessa? I do not. Let him have everything dear to him torn away in as agonizing a way as possible.

Good news from Hungary: Magyar seems openly pro Ukraine now (his party voted against eu funding in Feb, so I was worried...) 'We cannot ask any country to give up its territory,' Magyar says on Ukraine | Euronews share.google/ZxpBHMYIB57G...

My based son walked into a Tesla dealership and unironically ordered a BYD.

Pretty sure US can re-open the strait of Hormuz by stopping the bombing and withdrawing their navy and telling Israel to do the same. Same as Russia can achieve peace in Ukraine by withdrawing their army and stopping the attacks.

Remarkable that the guy who spends his whole political career remote working away from Clacton, should insist people should end remote working. Look forward to seeing him in his constituency office every week....

BBC radio 4 toady Tom Lubbock saying trump's approval was normal for second term presidents and the same as Obama and Bush? And that he was an extraordinary president in so many ways?

I don't know why Newsome thinks he's winning voters speaking out against European leaders. They *are* united Vs Trump on Greenland. And he's lying if he thinks this was predictable a year ago. This bit wasn't in the campaign speeches.

Giving strong War Photographer vibes here. Great photo, great courage.

I for one am astonished that Robert "Loyalty" Jenrick turned out to be the snivelling little weasel he looks like at first glance.

I hear Finland is just sending one guy, too...

NOW look what the Nobel Peace Committee made him do...

The kind of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put.

@itvx.com People who pay for your AdFree service do not want any interruptions to their programmes. Adverts for your own TV shows are still adverts and interrupt viewing pleasure.

Would fit as a tweet from Elon Musk, Tommy Robinson or a headline in the Telegraph. Equates legal refugee status with illegal migrants. I just don't recognise this Labour party. I don't know what voter base they think they're catering to. Or what their principles are.

Labour making 80% of public messaging about increasingly tough immigration policy, most of which was not in manifesto, is its own kind of breaking of the manifesto pledges.

I see the President Paedophile Accomplice is only newsworthy for a day. But President Hurty Feelings over an inaccurate edit will run for days and days.

Prediction: the people who supported sex offender, election denier, seditious conspiracy, classified document concealer, disabled mocker, veteran hater, faithless bible ignoramus, anti Vax, racist Trump: those people won't move their dial one percentage point for pedo Trump.

I wish the UK would run a few more headlines linking immigration and crime. Sometimes I go 4 or 6 hours without a fresh story. ///S

This is really a shameful thing, if it turns out the "second attacker" was misidentified as an attacker because of his skin colour, for instance.

This is the most explicit "didn't think they'd eat my face" article. He's still really enjoying Trump and the military brutalising people he doesn't like... trans people, Palestinians, free speech of the left, immigrants... It's just that now he sees his own people further down the list.

Previously, I was against the new ballroom, but he clearly needs a space to practice dancing.

Looks like Trump's "Middle East peace deal" didn't quite last a full Scaramucci.

BBC framing this as Zelenskyy's failure rather than Trump's capitulation to Russia again again again. Very odd sense of who made the decision here.

And let's not forget his Russophile peace-making in Ukraine... If they only give Putin everything, they'll have peace.

Three of the five main political parties in the UK seem to have espoused the attitudes of early 1980s Millwall fans...

Which headteacher did Radio 4 Today choose to platform? Birbalsingh, the most right wing of them all. Of course. And did they bring a balancing voice? No. So we had no discussion of the govt bill, just some character assassination of Philipson and lies about Gove not being top-down in policy.

I love Autumn. Pies and Roasts. Yum.

The Telegraph most be laughing up their sleeve as Starmer concedes yet more ground to Reform's agenda... Sure, here buddy, have our front page and a length of rope to go with it!

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.

Yesterday: lib Dems should put forward policies not rely on gimmicks Today (Lib Dem Conference begins): Farage's latest insane anti migrants policy is headline news. Zero coverage of Lib Dems.

Going to take my family into Soho today to celebrate the capital being tolerant and inclusive and multi cultural again after yesterday's hijacking by fascists.

The absolute stink the republicans threw up about a totally legitimate FBI raid, warrant, badges on Trump after months of notice, with nuclear secrets in an unsecured bathroom. Compare SCOTUS shredding 4th amendment rights in the face of warrantless ICE raids by masked, badgeless thugs.

The Trump birthday letter isn't a sketch in the shape of a woman's body. It's a young girl's body. That's as damning to me as anything in the message. #epstein

85% of comments on every YouTube short re immigration: "Why don't they stop in the first safe country?" Like it's the best gotcha ever, and no one ever thought to ask it till they burped it up. My reply: Why don't you look it up, you halfwit? It's not hard to find out the reasons. Google it FFS.

If Starmer were working hand in glove with Farage, he would not be acting any differently. BBC News - More than 425 arrested at rally against Palestine Action ban in London www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Blueberry error affects Claude AI as well as Chat-gpt 5. (And apparently Google Gemini. Could this be done programmer's joke?!) But unlike gpt5, Claude sees it's error when you point it out. But that is such a weird hallucination!

The dumb way for an author to use #AI is to ask it to write the book for you. But here are some ways I've found it very useful. realdavemorris.substack.com/p/the-tirele...

Silvertown tunnel.... Suddenly rendered bike friendly by Critical Mass.

The only downside to watching Daredevil Born Again, an otherwise outstanding Marvel TV show with great writing and acting, is this: Kingpin seems way less alarming as an antagonist than Trump. The tyranny seems so trivial compared to what's happening in real life in the US.

It's time to repost this Easter masterpiece

Rwanda was abhorrent, but this guy is wrong to overlook: -it involved refugees not citizens -they did have due process -the govt obeyed the courts -the voters disliked it and voted them out ***Pretty massive differences***

So many Americans stumble into tourist traps in London, get terrible overpriced food, then have opinions. This one writes for the NYT, no less. Whatever suits your 1970s stereotypes, I guess...

I'm sure we're all enjoying the peace that started on day 1 of the trump presidency.

This is the best thing I've read all week.

There are going to be a lot of talented Americans our UK universities should really open their doors to. Solves our funding crisis and brain drain in one swoop.
