CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

Utterly horrifying. Urgent changes to the law are required. This simply cannot continue to happen. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I've recently joined @greenparty.org.uk and I think this is a great ad. But I couldn't resist the urge to add the theme from The Professionals.

‘strong #transatlantic relations’ update 😉 bsky.app/profile/tand...

Evidence that Britain is presided over and ruled by idiots: #1639

Stop. Hen harriers are close to functionally extinct in England, because driven grouse shooting estates ruthlessly exterminate them because they predate the red grouse that toffs and traders will pay £35k a day to mow down with shotguns. Carry on.

Do you even lift bro?

“everyone is scared to be politically correct”* *Apparently.

Just 139 days to the start of the FIFA World Cup 👀

Vance on Jan. 8: "You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy's protected by absolute immunity." Vance today: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd."

Vances Announce They Are Expecting Another Child To Be Abducted In Minneapolis

"Terrible little boy… One of the worst in fact…"

Wonder what it’ll take for Nigel Farage to disown Donald Trump?

A happy loving couple comfortable in their own skin, comfortable with each other. You'd love them as neighbours. Compare and contrast the family photos of Trump. Awkward, cold with more focus on the surrounding gold tat.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

it's bizarre to see both CNN and CNBC run with chyrons reporting that Trump said he won't "use force" to take Greenland, when the comments in question were clearly a threat to take Greenland by force. How naive are we at this point?

Every day we all have to think about one of the most irredeemable cunts in the history of the world. What’s he doing? What’s he said now? How will it affect your life? What will be left once he’s finished smashing it all up? It’s unconscionable

After concluding a rambling hour-long speech declaring his intent to annex another country, pushing anti-democratic conspiracy theories and venting about the disloyalty of his federal reserve chairman, the audience at the World Economic Forum rose to their feet and gave Trump a standing ovation

Carney at Davos: "And this aphorism of Thucydides is presented as inevitable, as the natural logic of international relations reasserting itself." Trump at Davos:

What a fucking cunt.

how far is Davos from Dignitas

Hey, could y’all stop laughing along with his jokes. Just for once? Just even for one day?

Hmm…breaching standards rules, having a literal traitor in his party, not doing constituency surgeries, flying off to USA at the drop of a hat, stating he admires Putin, welcoming Try dross he used to criticise as awful. It’s almost as if Nigel Farage is a grifting shit with no ethics whatsoever.

“Oh, come on. Let’s not blame the media.” So said Jeremy Paxman, in his response to the assertion that so many British people ‘cordially dislike’ the European Union because so much of the media had hold them that “it’s a bit like the Bubonic Plague”.

A prominent Royal Society fellow helped out with this

If there is a WW3 US v Europe and we do end up taking the American side, Europe will invade and presumably defeat us pretty quickly and then we're back in Europe again. I mean it's not ideal but it IS a solution to Brexit – might lose some Reformers fighting on the beaches in the process too…

Ok, this made me chuckle. 58% of Swiss say: “I would like neutrality to be interpreted in such a way that Switzerland can join a defence alliance such as NATO if the threat increases.” Which is a hilarious question & position as joining NATO is the end of neutrality.

In other news, the Guardian is now running scam ads. This is what happens when you choose to data harvest your readers with surveillance adtech & run shitty programmatic ads…a literal fake BBC news report (starring @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com) embedded into an actual news report

If the President dies in office can you just leave work in the middle of the day? Like it hasn’t happened since JFK, what’s the protocol here

🚨WOW! The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party now has almost 75,000 signatures! Let’s get it to the 100,000 needed! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Wonder who to be the fall guy’s gonna be?

Given the long history of destruction of almost all of Ireland’s natural woodlands by British occupying forces, it’s moot whether describing the ‘Light British Tan’ sections of these monstrosities as “woodgrain” is an even greater affront to the Irish. sneakernews.com/2025/12/16/n...

Oh wow, that press pool. Just sitting there. Laughing along with it all. Like it’s just another day out, basking in the crepuscular rays cast down from the ‘leader of the free world and the most powerful man in earth’. Like we’re all supposed to find it funny somehow… Sheesh….

Trump: “We’re not doing the economy right. We *COULD* do the economy right. But we’re not. We’re not doing it right.”

“Flood the zone with sh*t” ~Steve Bannon

Qu'ils mangent de la brioche.

“globalisation has failed the USA” says the Trade Secretary of the country with the 10th highest GDP per capita* in the world. *one place above above Denmark, in 11th

I like how the "whisper it quietly" formulation has become a code for "I know this isn't true but I need to fill this space".

Apt that the WEF should highlight the very top risks in orange reports.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Glo...

BBC editorial guidelines: "Due to time-zones and working hours, actions taken by the US government are chiefly an embarrassment for the UK government until the DC bureau opens fully at 1400 GMT (0900 EST)."

Realising that I’ve become so used to equating NORAD with that part of every year devoted to ‘peace, love and goodwill to all men’, that I’d almost forgotten its true mission.

Olympics’ own website has this Denmark v USA match listed for Feb 17th. But Wikipedia listing it under Feb 12th for some reason… www.olympics.com/en/milano-co...

That’s this year’s Valentine’s evening plans sorted! 🇩🇰 🇩🇰🇩🇰 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
