If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

On average during 2025 one pub a day closed in England and Wales - domtristram.substack.com/p/what-2025s...

I don't know who to credit this image to, but anyway, they got the price wrong. That 2/9d should read £122 million

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill. Farage is still silent. It’s deafening. #ReformRussianBribes

Who better to represent the interests of the working man than Danny Kruger, he being an old Etonian son of a wealthy property developer & Dame Prue Leith, as well as having been political secretary to old Etonian Boris Johnson. He’ll smash the metropolitan elite in no time.

As a migrant to this country, I’d like to issue a formal apology for the pothole on your road. It was selfish of me to move here, personally prise up the tarmac, and weaken the A-roads with my foreign footsteps. I promise to do better - perhaps next week I’ll only destroy a minor B-road.

This is one of those things where your best hope of survival is the Home Office and HMRC fighting to the death over who gets to prosecute you first and hardest.
