We go live now to Donald Trump's Nobel Prize application letter

It is a shame this heavily Washington-influenced Politico hit job doesn't mention the *reason* Sanchez opposes the spending He's the only 🇪🇺leader calling out Trump's extortion for what it is, and calling for independent European defence Obviously the 🇺🇸military-industrial complex doesn't like that

#BBCNews - Baroness Mone-linked PPE firm misses deadline to pay £122m www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

ICE agents kidnapped a US citizen in Chicago because she didn’t “look” American to them. She even had her US passport on her. 🤬

MacCALLUM: Margaret Thatcher said socialism is great until you run out of other people's money MAMDANI: Well, what Andrew Cuomo said is that if you have $957m you give it to Elon Musk in tax credits

Saw it tonight. A total masterpiece. Go and watch it. That's all. ;-)

Genuinely excited when Origin Story cover my A level history syllabus, which was a barnstorming course with only 5 pupils and a marvellous teacher. It was The Drefus Affair episode that got me subscribing, and now our specialist topic! Excellent stuff. #17again

“Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will.” - Joseph Goebbels

All the right-wing trolls on Twitter are pushing the same lie, what are the chances? (The women, children and men over 50 were returned alive in previous hostage releases.)

“Israel forbade people from celebrating the prisoners’ release on Monday, firing teargas at family members and journalists waiting near Ofer prison.” Some Palestinians have been held prisoner with little food for decades but it was this detail that really got me. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog. www.cbsnews.com/video/some-n...

Trump greets the delegate from UAE, which put $2 billion into Trump’s crypto company: “They got a lot of cash. Unlimited cash.”

The final guest to arrive at Trump's peace summit is Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Oh wait no, it's actually... FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

About to give evidence to the House of Lords sub-committee on the new proposed criminal offence of failing to disclose tax avoidance schemes. It’s something I called for. But I now think there’s a better way. More to follow.

Chic gestapo dissapearing us citizens for doing so now

It’s infuriating that so mediocre and crude a power as Russia is running rings round European democracies and that they have so many willing collaborators.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Funny how I only ever hear stories about the EU entry scheme, not the UK equivalent...

BBC asking Bridget Phillipson at length about rising antisemitism in the UK (which actually fell last year according to new figures, albeit still very high) but not at all about rising Islamophobia, which is up by 19% year-on-year

Morning walk 🌳💙🌞 #walking #nature #sky #beautifulday

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Michael Wolff: I've seen the pictures of Trump with Epstein's girls. Here's what's in them.

Hi, I’d like to order a custom hoodie in a camo pattern of Christmas colors and then I’d like a big Punisher skull with Trump hair sticking out from under a Santa hat. And this is VERY IMPORTANT, on the arm I want a patch that says K$H and “FIGHT WITH KASH” underneath. My name is Kash. Yes I’ll hold

The @BFI London Film Fest is underway. Three weeks of amazing art & entertainment created by brilliant filmmakers from all over the world. So let’s take a moment to celebrate the work of the wonderful onstage live translators who do a mind-boggling great job. 🙌 #LFF

Here’s an Apple Music version of my Golden Age of Hip Hop playlist for anyone using that platform. Thanks to @stach.uk

#BBCQT Always bring the receipts.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Anyone else remember that old SNL sketch in which Jon Lovitz is playing Michael Dukakis and Dana Carvey is playing George H.W. Bush and they're debating and in mid-debate Dukakis turns to the camera and says, "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy"? Yeah, *that*

My racist stalker "John Smith" is back.

A new FT analysis has revealed that the majority of all houses in England are in the wrong council tax band, with many homeowners paying too much or too little. You may well be one of them! Modest homes are often paying more than mansions.

www.bbc.com/news/article... I read the essay. There isn't a single study quoted to support the view that family life is being damaged by screentime. Also no mention of the use of technology for maintaining relationships over long distances or for people who find person interactions difficult. (1)

Sign of the times? Orpington Conservative Club has a new sign outside. It is navy blue with gold writing and says 'private members club' with a list of facilities include Sky Sports. Nowhere does it say Conservative, and the only indication is if you know the tree is that of the Conservative Party.

The Deputy Chair of the Reform group on Cornwall Council, Rowland O’Connor, has quit the party, ITV West Country reports. O’Connor says his views on how to help local people “increasingly diverged from those of the party”.

“You’re banned, you can’t chant that, you’re nicked for holding a sign, you’re kids are poorer, you’re colder, you have to have an ID card and the racists have legitimate concerns in our island of strangers… now vote for us or Farage wins.”

I'm attending a NATO conference today and someone has done the funniest thing possible with the name of their wi-fi network

BARRY LYNDON (1974) continues to show from a 35mm print throughout October, November and December at the PCC. Stanley Kubrick's painterly masterpiece keeps hypnotising and enrapturing our audiences with every show. It cannot be missed. Grab your tickets now. 🎟️ : tinyurl.com/bazzapcc

But at least Ofcom's going after the real troublemakers... right? Right?? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A point about Jenrick's comments that may be missed as are so obnoxious. Handsworth, the place he talks of is majority "BAME" (the term in the stats, soz). But is a mix! It's around a 25% split of Indian/Pakistani background. 10% Bangladeshi, 10% white, 10% Afro-Caribbean.

Imagine this happening in the UK and not having to sigh 'what do their parents do?' every time you hear about a new band. Wouldn't it be great to hear music from somebody who isn't directly related to the Lord Admiral Wythenshawe Bloodfeast MP, the Butcher of Bangalore?

🚨Leaked Israeli documents reveal the British army’s 77th brigade held secret exchanges with the IDF. The 77th brigade specialises in psychological operations including online propaganda activities. www.declassifieduk.org/uk-psycholog...

Here’s this week’s cartoon for @sport.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/football/pic...

I hear keir starmer has "legitimate concerns about the ECHR" now. Has anyone tried switching the UK off and back on again?
