The irony of Burnham saying he wants to eliminate Labour factionalism. Think I was just a bit sick in my mouth.

Poor Canada. Not only having to deal with the forest fires, but also having a huge, obnoxious neighbour who brings down the property values.

Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.

The dignity, the integrity and the class, that Keir Starmer oozes, even at the end, makes Burnham look like the opportunistic little chancer that he is. He will be found out very soon. I look at all those Lab MP's applauding the PM today and I realise 95% of them are absolute fools. What a waste...

A few hundred Prince William County neighbors spent years fighting the largest data center ever proposed—23 million square feet next to the Manassas battlefield. This week the last developer standing gave up. Big Tech had billions; the neighbors won anyway.

For years Hungary's state TV fed the country propaganda every night. This week the channel went dark and signed off apologizing for years of lies. What made it happen? Voters threw the liars out. That's what one election can do.

ICE agents weren't wearing body cameras when they killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. The three men who were with him are reportedly being detained separately and getting pressured to self-deport — while refuting ICE’s story. What is ICE trying to cover up?

The stupidity and arrogance of Louise Haigh smugly stating she has been working with Burnham to undermine Starmer for a year work shames her and the new PM. And we all thought only the right was working to undermine this Labour government?

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

The sheer injustice in Houston is sickening. Lorenzo was just going to work to support his family when his life was stolen by ICE. Seeing his father on his knees, consumed by raw, agonizing grief, is a heartbreaking reminder of the human cost of systemic violence. He deserves justice.

Scum. 'Rupert Lowe told Joe Rogan, the world’s most popular podcaster, handguns were banned "because there was a murder up in Dunblane". Rogan asks: "One murder?" Lowe replies: "One murder." 16 children aged 5 & 6 and their teacher were killed by Thomas Hamilton.'

The CEO of Exelon, the largest utility in the US, says Americans could face major nationwide blackouts next year due to an energy supply shortfall and rise in data centers which are putting a strain on the energy grid. This is what happens when you give fascists full power.

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.
