I bet Starmer and Charlie boy are so pleased they gave Trump the Royal treatment a few months ago.

'Hegseth initially dismissed the reporting as fabricated, he later confirmed the basic facts during a cabinet meeting this week, saying he acted in the “fog of war”' "Fog of war"? Doesn't he just sit in a briefing room thousands of miles away from the action? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

That FIFA would give a made up Peace Prize to a man whose Defence Secretary thinks it's funny to murder people and who continues to give Netanyahu anything he needs to murder more people and who take the aggressors side vs. Ukraine tells you what a craven, corrupt organisation they are.

Coming to a Reform area near you soon! And all over the country from 2029! This is what you voted for. Enjoy your flags while the country goes to crap. BBC News - Reform UK council's £75,000 flags project begins - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s time.

Much as I'd love to see the grin wiped off this individuals face can anyone tell me how this might work out in practical terms?

Every time you think Trump or one of his underlings are the absolute worst they prove themselves to be absolutely worser. Hegseth, promoted way, way, waaaaaay beyond his abilities because of his fealty to Trump, of course runs away crying as soon as he's called to account. Utterly pathetic.

Two more Conservative MP rejects hop over to Reform UK. Jonathan Gullis and Lia Nici. More and more, Reform UK looks simply as if the Tories ran off stage, then came back on two minutes lates, wearing a comedy moustache-and-glasses disguise. ~AA uk.news.yahoo.com/former-tory-...

Absolutely hilarious. Frankly if you bought a Trump phone you deserve what you (don't) get. Trump Mobile phone customers left waiting after months of delay share.google/TpoQXGoSzYX2...

Today's 70% fall in net migration to 205,000 was not one of the six stories in BBC ten o'clock news. Ta massive assymetry in whether rises in immigration and falls in immigration are considered newsworthy by broadcasters Down by 140k isn't thought to be. Up by 140k undoubtedly would be.

Here's hoping...

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

As always, Reform UK promises to fix the problems of neoliberalism with more neoliberalism.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Brexit was stupid and wrong but Reeves tinkering is ALL she can do, not because of Brexit, but because she's wedded to an economic orthodoxy that has failed to deliver for decades.

Another ludicrous "bothsiding" article from BBC News. These people are not Christians, "Christian Nationalism" is an oxymoron and Tommy Robinson has not read his bible. BBC News - Tommy Robinson supporters are turning to Christianity, leaving the Church in a dilemma www.bbc.com/news/article...

A completely pointless and performative vote, and 86 Democrats join in. Laughable. 86 Democrats Condemn Socialism as Zohran Mamdani Meets With Trump | The New Republic newrepublic.com/post/203531/...

The links between the Trump crime syndicate and the Saudis should be front page news. Back in the "good old days" even Republicans used to be concerned about them. Now, of course, nothing. Rubio should be especially ashamed. www.theguardian.com/world/2018/d...

Anyone who thinks the "Epstein files", whatever they are, is going to damage Trump is, I'm afraid, going to be disappointed. Again.

I love the optimism of liberal organisations who think pointing out logical inconsistencies between Farage and the Easily Confused will somehow make them go...

Like critical race theory, “gender ideology” is both a bogeyman for the right and a backlash to social progress. The right’s gripe isn’t just that trans people exist, but that their existence is tearing down the old world—of good men and obedient women—and unleashing a new, godless age of chaos.

5 months after making a huge song and dance about his massive flags and his huge pole Trump doesn't even notice his beloved flag in the floor behind him. Such a details guy...

🤞🤞🤞

If Trump is saying this now it's because he knows he's in the clear. Nothing new will be in these docs (about him) and his supporters are already fine with his relationship with Epstein. Trump calls on House Republicans to vote to release Epstein files www.bbc.com/news/article...

I look at the gov't right now and I keep thinking back to a piece by @iandunt.bsky.social years ago, about how he got lost in the jungle and - I paraphrase - was so scared of stopping, accepting he was lost, and recalibrating, that he kept walking, kept making decisions that got him more lost.

Can't these two crazy kids make it work?

It's way past time more of the world's supposed leaders started standing up to Trump. I have zero confidence they will.

This is how Trump, a venal, vindictive convicted sexual predator, treats countries who suck up to him with Royal visits and concessions. The BBC, and Starmer, need to grow a pair and stand up to him. Trump says he will take legal action against BBC over Panorama edit www.bbc.com/news/article...

Absolutely shocking disregard for everything by greedy criminals AND a graphic illustration of how wasteful our society is. This 150m long, 6m high dump was made in a month. Kidlington fly-tipping: Criminals dump mountain of waste in field - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Everyone getting mad at the New York Times for sitting on or suppressing mountains of evidence about Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump need to realize that they had a lot on their plate with trying to keep the country afraid of trans kids and Palestinians

I'm no fan of Starmer but ffs, "worst ever"? People have very short memories I suppose.

Donald Trump is not going to sue the BBC for $1 billion The real story today is both Reform/Farage and the Conservatives/Badenoch talking today about radically changing the BBC This is the real agenda

Trump has, once again, got everything he wanted but it's not enough. The BBC have capitulated, but he still wants to bankrupt them, because he's a vindictive, venal, vile individual.

As usual capitalism is determined to punish those worse off for its failings. Work harder, for less. How else can the rich stay rich? Thousands take to Lisbon streets over proposed labour laws www.bbc.com/news/article...

I am reading Dominic Dromgoole's rip-roaring account of taking Hamlet around the world and this line stood out to me. Britain's Royal family are, like most (all?) families of course, dysfunctional and have been for centuries. Yet somehow they persist on trying to present themselves as anything but.

Very poor that the Guardian has published this tosh. Coogan is clearly "misremembering" what happened when R3 was found with regard to Langley (she was everywhere!) and ignoring the earlier work by academics which established the (probable) location of the body. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Once again, if this had been Biden, Fux News would have lost their minds...

Immediately triggered into memories of huge, tatty book with a hundred post it notes stuck in it in a desperate attempt to "learn it" in secondary school. Then I went into higher ed and the first book on the list was Clarissa...

The Telegraph really is pathetic. Unless, of course, they're running a "50,000 ways Trump misled everybody about everything" article tomorrow? You know, for balance?
