Trump: I’m going to do this stupid and terrible thing. Media/People: He cannot possibly mean it. Trump does stupid and terrible thing. M/P: Oh. Trump: I’m going to do this stupid and terrible thing. M/P: He cannot possibly mean it *this* time. Repeat indefinitely.

i can't believe i have to side with the home office

A rather important debunking of some shoddy Guardian research on crime statistics.

UK WILL REFUSE US REQUESTS TO USE BRITISH BASES FOR STRIKES ON IRANIAN BRIDGES OR POWER PLANTS; UK OFFICIALS SAY THESE ARE CIVILIAN TARGETS & COULD CONSTITUTE WAR CRIMES - THE I PAPER

It does not feel very Christian of me to be asking myself whether I’d rather someone die to bring an end to the harm he’s causing or live so that he can finally go to prison. But here I am.

Prediction markets tracking the likelihood that Donald Trump could be removed from office under the 25th Amendment saw a steady climb this weekend, reflecting heightened public speculation as the Iran war intensifies and the president's recent statements draw widespread scrutiny.

Well done Americans

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

I feel much more anger towards the British pundits & politicians who failed to understand the depravity & derangement of Donald Trump than I do the ones who failed to understand the idiocy of Brexit. But it doesn’t really matter because they’re exactly the same bloody people.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Explains why my bill is so much lower than average.

Two things can be true at the same time: employees should not have to deal with theft (personal safety is more important) and dismissing someone who worked for you for 17 years for a single incident is unreasonable. I hope Walker's bosses see sense and give him his job back.

I see ‘Bluesky is dying’ season is coming earlier this year.

1/ News of the destruction of yet another US aircraft on the ground is being met with incredulity by Russian Air Force pilots. They ask if the United States has learned nothing from Russia's own very costly experiences. ⬇️

Just 4 weeks exactly until our domestic season begins! We hope.

What strikes me here is the failure to understand that a lot of energy providers are not upstream oil and gas suppliers, so they're passing on their own costs to consumers rather than engaging in "reckless profiteering"

Just seen the most male thing ever: a man is out jogging with two women. One of the women trips and falls and the man turns to help, but pauses his Garmin before doing so.

*stares in actual government policy* Yes, thats us as the second best performing nation globally on climate. We were in 17th when the govt took over.

Guaranteed win at the next election then.

I love 'Tump is the only elephant in the world who walks around with his own China shop.'

He's repeatedly insulted our country, our leaders and our military, is pushing up our prices and threatening our national security, yet the self-proclaimed 'patriotic' right-wing press still finds a way to put themselves on his side

People who visit\live in a country with a draconian regime get upset when it starts acting like one. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Charming people.

Privatisation strikes again.

*Turns on the laptop. Looks at the Web and realises that it's weak joke day again.*

“Show me the most British policy” “NHS for dogs” “No that’s too British”

If Trump went shopping with an adult he'd be rolling around the supermarket floor throwing a tantrum.

So much for it being too expensive to drive. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

New Brexit metaphor just dropped.

Was about to set off for a walk so checked the BBC Weather App. 0% chance of rain. No prizes for guessing what happened. About as reliable as it's news.

Agreed. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articl...

I’m delighted when any politician from any party joins a march against hatred and tyranny. Even happier when they are content simply to be in the crowd, rather than on stage with the microphone.

Seems like a decent place but from the description of the 'pie' it's a stew with a pastry lid. #NotaPie www.theguardian.com/food/2026/ma...

Again, the allegation here has to be left unsaid because the moment you spell it out it makes no sense – to affect the result here the claim needs to be that Gorton and Denton was full of Muslim women who wanted to vote Reform, but were coerced by their husbands into voting Green instead.

European allies say Russia is helping Iran more than the U.S. has publicly acknowledged, sources say. www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-...

French news vs UK news:

On the one hand, we should always welcome unreserved & apparently sincere apologies like this. As opposed to the mealy-mouthed whinings of, say, Jim Ratcliffe. On the other, this doesn’t explain how they ended up rolling out the red carpet for a human skid mark. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

So it turns out the real scandal of the Gorton and Denton by-election was the willingness of media organisations to collude in Nigel Farage's attempt to undermine the result of a free and fair election www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/how-the-bb...

Another one for Norwich supporters

This is an excellent piece. That ‘lanyard class’ remark annoyed me at the time. An out-of-touch lord not realising that many of his ‘beloved working class’ people wear lanyards.

Labour Defence Minister Al Carns schools BBC journo muppets for doing their jobs. “I’m not going to discuss the details of someone’s phone when I’ve got two wars on… This is gutter politics — I’m not interested. #UKPolitics

Okay, he is actually quite good here.

Imagine threatening to invade and annex NATO allies, then getting pissy when they won't help you in a mad war you started against someone else, which has nothing to do with NATO anyway
