It’s the utter stupidity of the people who say/support such idiocy that depress me, particularly bearing in mind the last Tory government made one of them some kind of ‘tsar’ (what does that actually mean?) and the Labour government hasn’t effectively purged the DFE of this type of bilge yet.

'You can't enjoy books unless you're already good at reading.' Come and watch our 2 year olds deeply engrossed in turning the pages of a picture book they can't yet read. Or just listen to an audio book. 🤷‍♀️

EXCL: Reform UK have been processing cryptocurrency donations through Poland, under a 'lax' regulatory regime which previously housed a Cambodian crime syndicate sanctioned by the US Treasury for laundering $4 billion in illicit funds (inc. proceeds from North Korean state-sponsored cyber heists)

Fiona Bruce, "Should the Prime Minister Keir Starmer resign over Mandelson?" Kay Burley, "No, of course he shouldn't" "He's a bit busy trying to keep us out of WWIII"

Read the thread. This is all becoming surreal. Part of me hoped it was parody but it doesn't seem to be

Lots of people questioning whether the King should visit the United States. I think he definitely should; to recolonise it.

Thankfully, no other president ever needed to.

You can judge a family by the company it keeps.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

This is what happens when one of the stupidest people in history is in charge of your government.

We shouldn't mix up the end point of learning with the process of getting to that end point. Children don't develop a wide vocabulary because they've been direct instructed in words. They learn language through conversation and experiences. Focusing everything towards memorisation is a mistake.

Lots of food for thought here. It made me think, in a world of Trump, Farage, Netanyahu, Le Pen, Orban et al, of the line from the Eagles song: ‘there are no more new frontiers, we have got to make it here.’ Whether or not we live in a free world 5, 10 years hence is up to all of us, right now.

As an afterthought, I also don’t think that we’ve maybe thought hard enough (thru a 21C lens) about a emotionally delicate 19YO being enticed into marrying a much older man, whose affections were elsewhere, for breeding purposes, leading to a series of consequences that eventually led to her death.

This is gobsmacking, and totally missing from British mainstream news media. @thenewsagents.co.uk @lewisgoodall.com you are probably our only hope on this investigation-anything in the pipeline?

Just as a point of interest - how many people reading this previously knew about the UK WWII debt that was fully paid off, with interest, 60 years later?

He should be in the stocks at the entrance of Clacton Fun Park across from the Wetherspoons, so his constituents can finally see what they voted for.

‘But it’s not just about the most powerful people in the world. It’s about the people who are the most powerful in your neighbourhood, your school… if people can join the dots between, say, Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, Jimmy Savile, the Rotherham & Rochdale gangs, they might stop it when they see it’

Meanwhile an MP sitting in our Parliament cavorts across the world in this manner in an attempt to bring down his nation’s democratically elected government. Very dangerous times.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD… Can we STOP with this ‘special relationship’ BS And also…can we wake up to the treachery of our right wing press?!

Excellent advice!

Positive result for #Norris1 and #ItsJaaaarv #AustralianGP. Another year, another engineering challenge. Elbows up! #Formula1

This International Women’s Day, we remember the sacrifices made by Sophie Scholl and the White Rose, as a statement against fascism kentandsurreybylines.co.uk/society/heri...

Rescue puppy Finn came to live with us in his forever home today. He’s just 6 months old and is settling in very quickly!

He decimated education then moved on to do more

NOPE

Pretty funny that Michael Gove is dunking on me now he’s editor of the Spectator to promote its ‘bias-free’ reporting when as a politician he wouldn’t answer any of my press inquiries on the massive Brexit fraud he oversaw as Vote Leave’s co-convener

93 million Iranians may also have opinions.

Wouldn’t that be perfect.

Best commentary yet on the ‘special relationship.’ If we don’t abide by international law, we have nothing. Quite so. And especial 👏 to @lewisgoodall.com -every word.

I’ve had enough of war mongering toxicity on our news channels from leaders of foreign nations. I’d prefer to see more factual reports on the ongoing situation & less extended coverage of propaganda. By all means bullet point the basic content against the verified factual analysis. But that’s it.

Saw it last night - excellent. As for Churchill jab, it is as wrong as it is pathetic. Churchill went to Roosevelt for help not the opposite. And face it current President is no Roosevelt nor is his wife Eleanor Roosevelt

Why Trump is in power, there is no special relationship. There are people who bow to him, and those that don't. Do we want Starmer to bow to Trump?

There is no special relationship with the USA. There is a relationship that has had its ups & downs but was generally good for both. It was a good, positive (if unequal) thing. It's not any more. It has not been mutual since Blair cow towed to Bush over Iraq. The relationship now is almost toxic.

Exactly so. Starmer has sharply risen in my estimation on this particular issue.

This is insane. Trying to convince these young people to embrace becoming cannon fodder. www.rawstory.com/military-267...

This is shocking. I have no idea of the guilt or innocence of the defendant but it becomes more and more obvious she did not have a fair trial. We used to be rightfully proud of the history of British justice - this brings shame upon it.

V.good @thenewsagents.co.uk today. I’d no idea DT’s interference in foreign nations had run to this extent. I agree with Starmer - we have copious evidence that this type of war cannot be won from the air alone - unless it involves decimating the civilian population. I am dreading what comes next.

Board of Peace - Season 1

Oh well that’s all right then. No harm done. 🫣 And now he’s looking to pass blame. So predictable. 🤯

Government deals with Palantir stink, and stank long before the Peter Mandelson scandal. The government must pivot away from companies like Palantir.

Yes, that’s how I described Britain’s Boris Johnson in 2020. Coercive control and gaslighting. It’s a populist ploy. yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/bor...

Watch what happens in the British by-election today. I am hoping that British people have (in general) also come to that conclusion by now, but we will see…

No Canadian in their right state of mind would look at the dumpster fire happening in the United States and think let’s try that here. Maple MAGA people are off their rockers.

Agreed. One monarch, one palace, one set of offices, one heir. All educated to work like normal people. If this had been so with Charles he’d have been retired at point of inheritance. All other lands and properties to be returned to the nation. No President Blair or Johnson though, please.

There is a rumour that Charles begged his mother not to give Andrew the trade envoy role because she didn’t (as the mother) fully grasp what Andrew was *like,* and that she dismissed it as brother-rivalry stuff. If it is true, I can only imagine the incandescent rage that KCIII is experiencing now…

A lot of water gone under this bridge since I wrote this less than a month ago. I still think there is a hidden opportunity for him here: to testify on *everything.* Then he will at least be remembered for one positive action. @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

You have to ask the question why a woman from a friendly nation who has committed no crime & would fly straight home is imprisoned & moved around a country (that she keeps asking to leave) for six weeks. My guess is that a lot of people are making a lot of money, taken in taxes from the US public.
