Trump looks at his cards. So much winning.

Doubt I'm the first to this, but could we get the Straits of Hormuz renamed to the Straits of Trump? He likes his name on things, after all. And we wouldn't want to forget him when he's gone, this could be part of his legacy.

All they have is negging and pickup artist techniques. Diplomacy by incel forum.

Trump be like...

“I am less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.” -Stephen Jay Gould This is also true of all of the talented young people stuck in their parents' house in the burbs.

Two of the journalists assassinated in South Lebanon this morning by Israel were Lebanese correspondents Ali Shoeib and Fatima Ftouni. They become the 252nd and 253rd journalists killed by Israel in the last two years. Unprecedented. (📸 Cradle Media)

Where there’s life, there’s hope.

a “geoeconomic cluster munition” is that good

Hmmm

The media's obsequious silence is duly noted.

Mike Flynn took the Fifth in relation to his role in the Cambridge Analytica scandal as investigated by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and now taxpayers will be fleeced to enrich him for having been necessarily investigated.

Trump's touch carries the stench of death. His allies across Europe are getting hammered in the shadow of Iran: Spain, France, Slovenia, Italy. Suddenly the European far-right looks vulnerable inews.co.uk/opinion/sten...

In spite of the recent announcement, the RefUK crypto donation page is still functioning. 🙄 pay.radom.com/donate/afa9f...

We already knew this

Take it from me as a former financial crime compliance officer, you don’t act in this way unless you’ve got something to hide. We urgently need to improve the safeguards in our politics from foreign interference and manipulation 👇🏻

When Trump dies, the world should roar in triumph. Erase his name and image, seize his fortune, obliterate his empire, return it to the oppressed, and crush every hate group he empowered, let this be a global reckoning and celebration of justice.

As I've written previously, we cannot tie a 21st-century technology to a 20th-century energy supply. Doing so is a route to disaster www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...

Why is this only happening now? It should have been done decades ago. They won't pass it, they'll never give up the money they make while in office.

My policies for the new normal: 1. build renewables and infrastructure as if we're in a war. 2. secure democracy with proper limits on funding. 3. regulate/tax big tech like the media companies they are. 4. invest in public health. 5. actually fight financial crime.

Watching Trump teeter on the edge of blowing up the world economy because of a combination of hubris, strategic incoherence, mendacity and outright stupidity, might be the most extraordinarily depressing thing I have observed in my entire life, or read about in any other period.

This problem -- the RW takeover of media -- is like fucking Voldemort or something. He Who Cannot Be Named. People seem to think they'll burst into flame if they discuss it. It's baffling. I've accepted that I'm going to live & die without ever understanding why this is.

... of that last half-century, upstream of virtually any other problem that you can identify, and yet in mainsteam political discourse we *never talk about it*. It's the biggest, most salient political fact of all, just sitting there, looming, and no one fucking speaks it aloud.

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

fuck your desert island disc, I want to know your Guantanamo bay song. what song would the government use to torture you at a Black Site

The offshore bonanza fuelling Reform UK continues, according to Electoral Commission data for the last quarter of 2025. Full story in the new Private Eye, out now.

Would be surprised if this new voter data-hoovering exercise from Reform didn't end up with a healthy digital ad budget behind it in due course. www.nigelcutmybills.com

Who needs "allies" when everything he says is "all lies"?

Sadly he has had to resign from the Taxpayers Alliance

Note: The Halfway Post is a satire site. Polling shows 52% of Americans believe Trump started this war to distract from the Epstein files. The sentiment IS real and pervasive.

Baffled as to why people still think 'they're my guys' bsky.app/profile/d-mo...

If you want to start a war putting our sons and daughters, the world order and the American economy in danger, you sure as hell better have a goal, a plan, and a strategy. youtube.com/shorts/eW24U...

I think if you are a UK MP wherever you live & for however long, you should pay UK tax. MPs avoiding tax is extreme hypocrisy.

Shameless is the new thin.

As Tories attack Starmer for the state of the military let’s have a look at David Cameron’s 2010 Strategic Defence Review. The Tories wanted a 10-20% cut in the defence budget and it ended up with a 8% reduction.

This isn’t a hallucination, Michael Gove. You’ve never explained the millions you disbursed to buddies with your crony Covid Contracts. Cashing in on the worst public health crisis in a century should disbar people from public life permanently. www.bylinesupplement.com/p/we-need-to...

They should make a tear-jerking movie of our Issy's travails as she survives, alone, under shot and shell with only the VAT on school fees to live on. I suggest: Dickless In Dubai

What is it good for?

Absolutely insupportable. Labour have a massive majority. It’s a hugely popular issue. To fail to act would be a dereliction of historic proportions, and utterly inexplicable.

Truly the Fyre Festival of strategic campaigns.

What do you think Allister...

Just realised Dubai is the earthbound version of Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B.

It also highlights the downsides of all these much-hyped tax-free libertarian techbro magic cities for the elite that lie outside the state while you let the rest of the world fall into squalor and misery; your gold plated luxury penthouse condo can be destroyed by a cheap drone at any time.

Our thoughts about the Daily Mail.

My precious.

The Green Party spent between £63,000 and £84,000 on Meta ads to help them win the Denton and Gorton by-election. 113 ads in total, loads of different creatives. Estimated reach of 6-7.25m impressions. They absolutely bombarded the seat with ads.

Is Allister Heath ok?
