"I said it's quite bold of Nigel Farage to go to the US to side with Donald Trump against his own country. What did I say Roy?" "You said he's a treacherous self-serving sack of shit"

“Dear Diary, Super excited to say that I’ll be serving my Clacton constituents today by flying to Mar-a-Lago to meet Donald Trump and to undermine the UK government. God I love being a patriot!”

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

I’m surprised I haven’t seen this today. THE Spitfire flypast. A firm favourite of all Spitfire fanboys. I’ve fortunate to hear an explanation of the events from Ray Hanna’s daughter. youtu.be/4iOoiEbtf2w?...

If these people are found to be working for a foreign power, Keir Starmer will be personally responsible. Whereas when a senior Reform colleague is jailed for ten years for taking bribes from Russia, that is nothing to do with me.

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes: Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

Everyone knows about the massive influence that "Blue Monday" from New Order had upon dance music, but let me offer a contrary take. "New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)" from Simple Minds which came out in 1982, before Blue Monday, deserves its rightful place in EDM history. youtu.be/GWAC4UeWGd0?...

“The fact that this Latino man was upset about Black people moving into his neighborhood and then threatened to call Trump on the Black family is absolutely infuriating and nuts. It shows the insidiousness of racism. (cont.) www.theroot.com/latino-man-t...

Truly, truly, truly disgusting. Keep this Trumpist race baiting out of British politics.

To be fair, this is a small account doing some engagement farming, but this is good advice and worth a share.

Today’s poem is called ‘How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail’.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it. Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

Last year I wrote a short film, two screenplays and three sitcom scripts. Are there any production companies out there who’d like to read any of them? Let me know. Thanks!

On 27/28 February 1942 the British executed Operation BITING, raiding a radar installation at Bruneval to gain insights into German radar technology. In is one of the forgotten little episodes of the desert war, they tried the same thing in December 1941 at Benina, but seem to have failed.

For All Mankind - Season 5 (March 27, AppleTV): 🚨NEW TRAILER🚨 This upcoming season is set in alt-2012. On Mars, Happy Valley is starting to look more and more like an Expanse colony, I love it. In fact, For All Mankind is now looking a lot like a prequel to The Expanse, and I'M HERE FOR THAT. 😁

I wonder what Adam Curtis is making of things, these days. I saw on his last series that he's even given up narrating. Poor guy must be exhausted... But he definitely should make a sequel to HyperNormalisation at least www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

That’s highly unusual, is it not? www.france24.com/fr/info-en-c...

I might not tell people I’ve won he lottery, but there would be signs!

This is one of the most heart-breaking & important articles I have ever read - from someone whose voices are so rarely heard, a teenaged girl. If you want to understand online misogyny in all its devastating impact, please read this shattering piece. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Blohm & Voss Bv 222 (1940) was originally designed as a transatlantic passenger airliner. However, with the outbreak of war the Luftwaffe quickly saw its potential as a transport and, later, for long range maritime patrols. Never in full production, 13 were completed. 📷 Revell #NavalHistory 🧵1/8

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

Don't you hate it when fighting age men flee their own country, leaving their families behind, then expect other people to give them a handout.

The MATRA R.130 was a Mach 2 supersonic ramjet interceptor concept. It was developed by MATRA starting in 1946. The main wings were retracted to reduce aerodynamic drag, and to switch to high-speed flight configuration, the fuselage had to pivot 90°, while the cockpit remained horizontal.

The maximum possible size of PDF file could in theory cover an area of 56,045 sq miles or 145,161 km. This is an area slightly larger than New York state or Greece. Or the same as the area of Europe shown below: brilliantmaps.com/max-pdf-s...

How the fuck is Corey Lewandowski in any position to fire a Coast Guard pilot? What is his title? What is his job? What is his official position in the US government? If you are Kristi Noem’s boyfriend you get to fire Coast Guard officers?

The stark contrast is set to raise a simple but incendiary question: who is truly paying for Britain? Racist POS Ratcliffe, or people coming here from all over the world helping to build Britain? #UKNews

If Reform were smart, they wouldn't be reform.

It is June 1983, you have just been elected to Parliament and appointed a Minister in the MOD. Your staff provide you with an induction briefing pack, including a section on Counter Terrorism. This is the actual brief Ministers had on the role of the SAS & SBS in CT operations.

In the past I’ve mentioned the oil tanks that were bombed during the FAA attack on Taranto in Nov 41 and the historian consensus seems to be it was insignificant, but I’d still like to know what quantity of fuel was destroyed and what the Regia Marina could do with that quantity in operations…

The Bannon/Farage/Johnson plot to topple May looks pretty damning by November 2018, but starts that summer when Johnson resigns. 15 July Bannon goes on Farage’s LBC show to lambast May. Epstein texts: “Good work on LBC”. Next day he tells Epstein he’s in “London with Boris”

I decided to write a movie for Jason Statham in which ICE invades the small midwestern town of Tinyville and EX-DELTA FORCE SAS NAVY SEAL SHERIFF MASON MCKILLCHAIN must choose between the law and revenge, but not for long.

Just a reminder there are now 4x as many people actively seeking jobs as there are jobs available. The highest ratio ever and it is only going up. How are people going to work these jobs that don't exist?

Have a read of this. Great scoop, obviously, but it’s also an absolute masterclass in how to report on these jokers. Plenty of London-based hacks could learn a lot from Martin Shipton here. If they actually wanted to… nation.cymru/news/the-new...
