This is a positive move, but only if Labour does more than rearranging the deckchairs. The fiscal straightjacket needs to be changed. A serious (and fast) review of spending and taxation. And building regs, which hold back housing and pressure everybody 🧵

While Boris Johnson was mayor of London there were 72,000 knife attacks, 16,000 gun crime offences, and at least 62,000 racially motivated violent crimes. But apparently, those didn't count.

It's almost as though becoming a professional cunt was a poor lifestyle choice.

Yes, he should.

Hochul: "I’m working with the Legislature to change New York’s redistricting process so we can fight back against Washington’s attempts to rig our democracy." This is the way

Years ago I was at a party on the Isle of White, and watched a luxury cruise liner drift into view. A woman asked if I'd ever been on it. "Ha! No." "Oh, you must, it's not like other cruises." It never occurred to her that people exist who can't afford a £30k cruise.

I’m sorry, what now? I’m not paying my mortgage monthly because I’m being “trendy” - I literally have no other options. It’s not as though I have a few hundred grand just sitting around in an account and actively deciding not to pay off my mortgage because I love paying interest. Fuck’s sake.

The Telegraph did a deep dive into Ed Miliband, they got in contact to ask me what I thought of the energy secretary. Me and Ed don’t always agree, that’s natural, but there’s no doubt he’s getting stuff done and the country is better off having him. www.msn.com/en-gb/news/o...

Librarians are amazing. You can ask them about a book you think might have been a dream, but you’re pretty sure you read when you were eleven and the cover was blue…and they’ll find it! 💙📚

NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK "Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

I have just submitted a complaint about this. It's easy. You should do it.

Trump yesterday: Iran better sign a deal by Tuesday or I’m blowing up power plants and bridges! Trump today: I’m in no rush to make a deal. Time is on my side.

Well, at least the BBC is covering this.

A convicted felon as President of the United States talking about removing criminals is the very definition of hypocrisy.

Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states. DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand. My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases. DOJ is now 0-5. My firm is 5-0. Lesson: When we fight we win.

Good! Hopefully, Traitor Trump flees to Russia or Israel to avoid being taxed. 🖕😄🖕

The Hungarian people wisely refused to listen to these grifting scumbags.

Britain could adopt single market rules without MPs’ vote as part of UK-EU reset www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

I watched that cringe-filled moment. On behalf of the people who share this rock with you, we’re sorry that HE had to be a part of any of your historic journey.

No country in the world needs regime change as much as the United States does

To cap off his first 100 days in office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani walked the full 6 miles home from New York City Hall last night — greeting New Yorkers along the way. 🍎

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

This needs doing - not just to win voters, as the first line of the article says - but to bring some fairness to the private rented sector - it’s a Wild West right now. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

This is absolutely fantastic. ht: @maddenifico.bsky.social

Currently £0.99. Next week, back to £3.99. So get a wriggle on! Also — a favour — if you've read my books, please take 2 minutes to add a review for each one on Amazon. No writer except for Richard Osmond has a marketing budget, and he doesn't even need one. Reviews are a HUGE help. Thanks.

He is insane. And this is an open declaration of intended genocide. If any other world leader said this, there would be sanctions and an arrest warrant, not just for him, but for his whole regime.

JD Vance flies to Hungary to interfere with the election, while complaining that people who haven't flown to Hungary to interfere with the election are interfering with the election. I doubt he'd know where to feed himself if it wasn't for his mouth flapping all day long. www.theguardian.com/uk

I love dogs;)

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

“How lucky is the United States that everytime they look for democracy in other countries they find oil instead”- Spain Deputy Gabriel Rufián

Very interesting report this - at 2 degrees of climate warming we’ll be paying the equivalent of an oil war every year - Reform and the Tories need to pay attention - avoiding the worst effects of the climate crisis is in our vital national interest. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

FYI... This is what it looks like when a civilian target is hit. Do we really want to be the one hitting it?

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

How on earth can the trip planned by King Charles possibly go ahead with Trump making statements like this?

Legendary actor Brian Cox is helping to expose the Guga hunt - a sickening practice happening in northern Scotland where Gannet seabird chicks are killed for tradition.

Dan Rather represents an era when journalism wasn't as polarized into political groups. I miss those days. 😭
