You know nothing about those professions. Ask medical staff working in A&E, or Ambulance drivers, drug workers & homeless shelters how many knife brandishing individuals with mental health issues they’ve had to talk down and disarm. Without acting like thuggish boot boys

So it is your opinion and it’s bollocks Many people work in professions where they have to deal with some very difficult individuals. NHS, Mental Health, Addiction, Homelessness… and none of them kick the shit out of somebody after they have been tasered.

What metric/criteria did you use to come to the conclusion ‘it’s the toughest job in the world’? What other jobs/countries did you measure it against? We don’t criticise them because we think we know better, we criticise them because we expect professionalism from the police.

I wonder how Rowley, Starmer and all those defenders of police brutality will justify this behaviour

Q: In your letter to Congress, you said the hostilities in Iran have concluded. How can you say that given the naval blockade? TRUMP: Well, it's a very friendly blockade

Career change? "I used to be the worst person in the worst band in the world. But now I'm doing it all on my own."

The Israeli-supported military offensive led to the ethnic cleansing of the entire Armenian Christian population, more than 100,000 people, and the end of an ancient Christian community. Today, Azerbaijani authorities are destroying churches in the territory.

We *must* decentralize the arts. Right now, a creator's entire career can be shut down instantly because a bot logs a fraudulent copyright claim or uploads an unauthorized AI version of their art, and then a bot at Amazon/Youtube/etc. decides it's more efficient to ban the creator than adjudicate.

This is why Cymru needs to vote for Plaid Cymru next Thurs, especially the people of Newport. Tories, Labour and Reform will do nothing to help Cymru’s people, they’ll make things worse. youtu.be/ytqYIVUpPx8?...

Meanwhile we meander through a Senedd election with Unionists delivering their “too small, too poor, too dim” tropes. The Lib Dems in particular are going full on apocalyptic. The Welsh people are literally being patronised by a party that thinks pointing at potholes is a political act.

Every vote counts latest YouGov poll has Plaid Cymru and Reform neck and neck. Only a vote for Plaid Cymru can stop Reform. Labour, Greens, Conservatives and Lib Dems out of the race for Senedd elections winner.

Oh he may be the messiah for Labour in England but never forget he hates Scotland for not voting Labour and will hate Wales when Labour lose control next week #VotePlaid for Wales

More than 100 Senedd election candidates have signed a ‘Pledge for Palestine’, backing calls for a boycott, divestment and sanctions on Israel

Voters in Wales are going to elect a left-wing government which is more than can be said for a lot of countries at the moment.

Plaid Cymru remain the clear favourites with bookmakers to win the most seats in next week’s Senedd election, as recent polling suggests a closely fought contest

Top officials from the largest trade union in Wales have stopped short of advising their members to vote Labour in next week’s Senedd election and said instead that their priority is to stop Reform UK getting into government ✍️Martin Shipton

4/4 ...It's vital that as many people turn out to vote next week as possible, and vote for hope, tolerance, kindness and a better future for Wales. #plaidcymru #partyofwales #vote #pleidleisiwch #senedd

3/4 ...I'd love to have regional representation that's as conscientious after the Senedd elections next week. So I'll be voting for @plaidcymru.bsky.social and I hope you'll vote for them too. #plaidcymru #partyofwales #vote #pleidleisiwch #senedd

2/4 ...and I was grateful for the opportunity to tell her how glad I was to live somewhere that has someone caring and principled representing us in Westminster. Unlike other MPs one could mention... #plaidcymru #partyofwales #vote #pleidleisiwch #senedd

1/4 Roedd hi'n wych i gyfarfod fi AS i, Liz Saville Roberts yn Nolgellau heddiw. It was great to meet my MP Liz Saville Roberts in Dolgellau today. I was gardening in town and she took the time to come and say hello... #plaidcymru #partyofwales #vote #pleidleisiwch #senedd

Plaid Cymru Gwyr Abertawe Swansea Gower, race for the Senedd elections, it's a two horse race Plaid Cymru to stand up for Wales or Reform a party of chaos, division, hate.

Yesterday in Hastings, in the wake of antisemitic attacks in Golders Green, I faced Nazi salutes. Today the Prime Minister uses his office to attack the only Jewish party leader to score political points.

Stooges say calling Trump a fascist and comparing him to Hitler "fuel[s] violence." But Trump is a fascist; and far from fueling violence, examining the similarities between the failed Hitler State and the failing Trump Regime is essential to the work of preserving our democracy, as I discuss in PN.

The use of Bloody Sunday footage in a video posted online by Kemi Badenoch is “disgusting” and “disgraceful”, a Northern Irish MP has said

Love the new Banksy sculpture It depicts Nigel Fartage carrying ruZZian flag trying to bring a soviet sun to UK

New research from Finland's basic income experiment proves that simply trusting people with money—not just the money itself—significantly improves mental health. www.scottsantens.com/finland-gave...

The president of Ireland’s sister has been kidnapped by the IDF in Greek waters. I mean we talk about rogue countries. Israel is off it’s trolley.

The Trump administration is arguing that the war in Iran has already ended because of the ceasefire that began in early April – an interpretation that would allow the White House to avoid the need to seek congressional approval

Call me alarmist if you want, but between raising the terror alert level and specifically calling out Polanski on the same day, it does kind of feel like the state is painting a massive target on anyone remotely progressive.

Here’s this week’s Better Offline monologue. 70%-80% of all AI compute goes to OpenAI and Anthropic, creating an illusion of demand that is going to waste hundreds of billions of dollars. This is a very important monologue for you to hear. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline

This has turned out to be right, hasn't it? It's the end of the road. The confluence of protests over genocide, the Iran War & upcoming shortages, the seasonal knuckledragger rioting over migrants, the wilful hariki of the govt. Somebody needs to pay, & it ain't ever the fuckers who should.

The state of British politics. A crypto-billionaire based in Thailand gives £12 million to Reform UK and £5 million to Farage personally, and we are supposed to believe that he did so entirely out of the kindness of his cold dead heart, expecting nothing in return.

Historians will note this is exactly what millions of Americans wanted, no matter the consequences: to retaliate against the country for electing a Black President by putting a huge racist in the White House who would constantly refer to every Black person he doesn't like as "low IQ."

SPOILER ALERT: Farage authorised this poster. It is inspired by a Nazi propaganda film. It is both racist and designed to hurt people. Farage has not changed. Racism has defined Farage's whole career. Without his racism, he'd be no one. #FarageOut

Tomorrow's front page 📰 'Scotland gets nothing out of being in the Union,' says George Monbiot

Labour has been promising to abolish it since their inception. Never had any intention of doing so. It’s always been b*llocks

Labour returns 26 hereditary peers to the House of Lords. Starmer gives life peerages to 15 Tory hereditary peers, 2 Labour & 9 crossbenchers. That promise to abolish the Lords, which was later watered down to reforming it is working out REALLY well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Dear England and Westminster, why can't you try this instead of simply saying No? What is there to lose?

You mistake anger & abhorrence of the expanding Genocide & war crimes in Gaza by Israel & allies as antisemitism. Perhaps you could consider whether the reaction of decent people to the illegal & systematic mass slaughter of Muslim people is a heartfelt rejection of Islamophobia. Not antisemitism.

Nigel Farage has been accused by multiple people he grew up with of extreme antisemitic comments and behaviour. Yet he's allowed to present himself as a champion of Jewish people. Meanwhile, our only Jewish leader, Zack Polanski, is smeared - because he opposes genocide.
