Americans who think "post-Brexit chaos" brought down Starmer just as it brought down the others should consider that they are missing the class cues and idiosyncrasies in his manner of speech that we don't. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4ub...

What Trump needs to say to Putin about the kompromat

if the general price level is up nearly 20% since 2016, and I'd say that it is, and those things aren't, then IN REAL TERMS, those things are 20% cheaper.

2/ 'Combat Reserve' writes: "We'll all be going home, it's just not entirely clear in what condition. The Vostok group's officer ranks are depleted, a leg was blown off—he went home. If he's lucky, he'll get a mortgage or a certificate."

Reform and Restore would be nowhere if the Tory party conference hadn't stopped having barnstorming speeches by people like Tebbit.

Andy here is explaining a fundamental truth about British politics. But continuity remain never internalised Reagan’s saying, “When you’re explaining, you’re losing.” And that is a significant factor in how we ended up here in the first place.

So the two Labour factions were "abolish the State with Marxist-Leninism, and abolish the British State in favour of a federal Europe." We'd have no national govt either way. bsky.app/profile/cool...

You guys were posting "well at least Iran doesn't kill queer people like Israel does" so yeah, rebutting that kinda requires me to make an obvious point. Iran DOES kill queer people. It DOES target queer people, and denies basic human rights. It should be the easiest thing in the world to condemn

Russia is like buses. You wait for a coup and then 10 come along at once.

"ordinary" Russians are riddled with post-truth evil nationalism. The people living and holidaying in Crimea think they own it. Putin's popularity went up when it was seized. We can't be friends with Russia until the Soviet generation is totally gone. There is no widespread opposition now.

if Nato has to trigger an article because of Russian mischief making, all eyes will be on Turkey. If Ankara doesn't fully support Nato collective defence in word and deed, then they won't be able to mediate between Russia and Ukraine at all. That leaves only China as a neutral power.

the Trump admin has achieved something amazing on Ukraine. now NEITHER side trusts the US at all.

*SUPREME COURT REJECTS TRUMP APPEAL OF CARROLL SEX-ABUSE VERDICT

War postponed until Friday evening again.

Donald Trump is a 34 count convicted felon. Trump is a failed businessman with 6 bankruptcies, including 3 casinos, where 'The House Always Wins'. Trump is a carnival barker conman, a reality TV show huckster. The National Mall Reflecting Pool is a perfect metaphor for Trump's failed presidency!

the so-called Boomer Remover was oversold. they are still here.

x.com/mark_slapins.... Russia's army of paid trolls and influencers are flooding the internet, insisting everything in Moscow is 'fine' and a coup is not happening. That tells me something. It means that Putin is very scared right now. He knows what he's done. And he knows what's coming next.

People think I am asking for cruelty or sadism from the govt, in terms to stopping the growth of the social care, social security, and NHS budget. I am not asking the govt to enjoy it. I am asking it to stop caring. I am asking for callousness because they recognize there are bigger priorities.

Iran is out, robbing us of the USA v Iran final that would have settled everything. #WorldCup

Burnham is reasonably inferred to be against the encroachment of an ultra-conservative religion that never went through a reformation, and the socially liberal Labour membership is offended by that. bsky.app/profile/prot...

Trump fires dozens of Tomahawk missiles at Irah as Tehran declares "ceasefire" meaningless: Oh Yeah. Deal imminent. Iran responds to a second day of US strikes by firing at Gulf states and Jordan 3 Indian sailors killed in US strike on oil tanker in Gulf of Oman, minister says

People need some history reminders: Labour 2004: opens door to unlimited EU migration. 2007: fails to regulate banks so the entire banking system nearly collapsed. 2009: expenses scandal. 2014: a senior Labour figure admits "we really fucked up that Scotland referendum".

3 hours after Trump was ordered to release the unredacted Epstein files we are back to bombing Iran. Just another coincidence.

Didn't Hegseth recently rename his department to the Department of Strained Ceasefires?

Best I can find for now. (Moscow Times reporting it) www.yahoo.com/news/world/a...

Who, Mira Marković? More like partner in crime - she had her own political party, the Yugoslav Left (JUL), that piggybacked onto Milošević's one (SPS), but she managed to run off to Moscow, and died there, also unconvicted of crimes.

Ukraine is ready to fulfill Minsk agreements NOW🤷‍♂️😏

Our president put Welcome, but be good! President DJT on the new American Passport that he put his stupid picture on! This man put welcome on our passports! Really? Everyday he shows how dumbbb he is

Putin was too scared to do full mobilization before, and now he's left it too late. Most young people still in Russia know that Russia is losing and that they will die once conscripted, and this will only confirm it to everyone. Once the order is given, mass civil disorder looms.

You can absolutely return them even if they do qualify. The UK needs to start ignoring "international law", because by definition law CAN'T be international. The UN is not a government.

We have that problem because the ports of Calais and Dunkirk were made secure enough to stop that route working. I've used both of them a lot since 2013 and those physical changes happened well before Brexit. They also placed platoons of Gendarmerie at Le Havre & Ouistreham.

Omsk refinery you say? Oh, no I am thinking of Tomsk.

"The Americans can't get the slime out of their capital's monument pool and will arrest you for touching it," sounds like the sort of lie they'd tell us in the Soviet Union so we'd stop bitching about bread lines.

Probably true, but there's no point being shackled to a corpse. I'm not persuaded voters give a monkey's about the manifesto, as long as you get the economy going and public services improving - and show some tangible progress on stopping the boats and closing the hotels.

The sealed train has arrived at the Euston Station.

In 2024, 73.7% of votes cast made no difference to the result, either going to candidates who weren't elected or candidates who already had enough votes to win.

English people never really minded him being PM. they MINDED him becoming it and them handing billions in English taxpayer money over to Nicola Sturgeon as a quid pro quo.

Average 2026 weekend. On again off again.

The small number of Christians saying "you need God in your life" and worse in every set of comments under a video that features trans people never realize that they are the Nazis.

An indispensable witness, no? www.gov.uk/government/c...

Remind you of anyone? Trump would be a very bad king.

Can't help noticing we're debating whether he should have said it, and whether he should have walked it back, rather than whether it's true. The answer is: politically, it doesn't matter. If people FEEL it's an island of strangers, that's a political problem, regardless of whether people say it.

Last night's drone strike turned the Slavyansk oil refinery into a giant bonfire, with smoke covering much of Russia's Krasnodar region. Russian air defenses failed to protect a refinery supplying fuel to occupied Crimea. With fuel shortages already mounting, it's a pretty bad look.

Putin, results 😂😂😂😂😂

watching Vlad's streams now. It was nice when "Irish Freddie Mercury" apologized on behalf of the whole country last night.

a subset of streamers I watch. All lovely people
