Brilliant. @mortenmorland.bsky.social

Congratulations!

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage threatens a Sky News journalist who asks about his undeclared gifts from convicted criminal George Cottrell "You harass my family anymore, there will be serious consequences"

Heard you call Trump Orangemandias on The Bunker. Brilliant! “My name is Orangemandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!”😂

Things you couldn’t make up:

Good point. But that might make Orangemandias angry

Yes this is stunning - I don’t suppose there are any clues what might be behind the red card suspension of a US player? …. Couldn’t FIFA just have given away another fake gold peace prize or something less embarrassing?

Given the latest news does Danny Kruger now think ReformUK needs to … “change their business model?” And possibly their Dear Leader?

Just came across this picture of my pal Joby from Denmark earlier in the week. Every Danish seaside picture looks like a detective having an episode 4 crisis of confidence after the case becomes personal.

I so want the Chicago Pope to excommunicate him. Just 86 his ass, Leo. You’re South Side, you know what to do.

Thank you @jowolff.bsky.social

I’m not sure how pregnancy testing would work. Would it be before or after check-in? Do they put something in the water cooler at FOX….?

Really interesting thread - thank you @monkemma.bsky.social

What does “systemic failure” mean in a democracy? (Clue: it goes beyond having 7 prime ministers in ten years ….)

-From Quarks to Quasars 1/ Fired government scientists just launched a new site to keep climate data public.The site is called Climate.us & it was created by former staffers behind Climate.gov, the NOAA-run website long used by many for trusted climate information."

Advice for Life from Mel Brooks - (thanks @scientits.bsky.social )

Speechless.

I’m not sure this is the vote winning gambit Mr Johnson thinks it is. “I run the protection programme.”

The Ukrainians use of drones has changed the modern battlefield. Could it also change the course of the war with Russia? Worth a listen.

Worth a read:

Just realised this will be my son’s fifth prime minister and he’s 6.

Yes … It’s a clue that some newspapers appear unable to understand

Trump might be moving closer to an agreement with Iran, but what does it mean for the US and Israel's relationship? @gavinesler.bsky.social discusses with Stephen A. Cook from the Council on Foreign Relations ➡️ linktr.ee/drillpod

The Hummingbird Hawk-Moths are back in the garden :-)

Yes. Being in the EU made the border in Ireland still in existence on a map and yet of almost no significance in real life. It was Schroedinger’s border. And then the Brexit lunatics took hold.

Brilliant!

“Mandatory Insurance” sound like something a gangster would call protection money.

Worth a read about our dis-United Kingdom and the lasting impact of Brexit www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Another triumph for Trump

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

Thinking of the women of Iran, enduring so much www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

Interesting take on news “values”

National Rejoin March 🙌

They're dumping slimy, green peroxide water from the Reflecting Pool back into the Potomac. #dc @popville.bsky.social

Oh … and there is this - Trump’s “Retreaty of Versailles “

Yes

Makerfield is - of course - hugely important, and perhaps Nigel Farage may be encouraged to fade away & spend more time with his £5 million "personal security" £££ & other donations - but today's biggest news is this: the real cost of Brexit to all of us. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

No words.

"War is a long struggle" he says. Putin's full scale war in Ukraine has taken longer than the USSR took to defeat Nazi Germany. It's also lasted longer than the First World War

But … but … wasn’t it £5million for security … ???? Surely this cant be right? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Er….

For an on-the-ground insight into the race riots in Northern Ireland I’ve been speaking with @amanda.ie - worth a listen:

The tide has turned on Britain’s Brexit shambles. The exaggerations, wishful thinking and also lies of the Brexit Bunch have translated into our politics but public opinion has changed. The Starmer government has an opportunity to be bold, call out failure and push hard for a reset. Will they?

Today, we're in Westminster Chapel for our packed event 'The UK's Future in Europe', and to launch our new branding. Couldn't make it to London? We'll be updating this thread throughout the day with highlights: make sure to check it out to keep up to date with the future of UK-EU relations.

Anyone seeing a pattern here?

I seem to remember Dan Quayle confused Iran with Iraq

You mean he invaded Pepperoni…?

If you want to know why the British political system is fundamentally broken - here is one example.

For goodness sake can no one in the White House find a map?
