As a concession to the forthcoming apocalypse I have forgone the tie today

Fresh way to display the fastest hunk of Lego junk in the galaxy 🌌

The couple whose name is on the building surprised the first 100 visitors to walk through the doors of the new Obama Presidential Center on Friday by personally greeting them.

Being a train driver with many years experience, I’m aware of the scenarios that might’ve have caused the rail collision near Bedford today. However, I won’t be speculating. For those who are, especially those who don’t work on the railway, please stop. Your lack of detail is unedifying.

Tribute at the #WorldCup to the 168 innocent girls MURDERED by US forces under the command of #TrumpThePaedo.

This is disgraceful ⬇️

Tech billionaires are getting richer while we pay the price for the real-world harm their platforms cause. The "neutral host" loophole lets them off the hook for pushing dangerous content. MPs are demanding emergency laws to make them pay. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Sums up the latest English local elections. What a disgrace , and retreat into hatred and division. 🤦‍♂️. At least the Welsh and Scottish still make sensible choices. Scene from Father Ted, a truly wonderful series.

#JoshHolit is garbage and I’m sure Michelle Obama is not phased by nasty, sloppy, drunk who talks and vomits at the same time. Keep shining, Queen. The WORLD loves, respects admires and adores you. Michelle will be remembered most elegant First Lady of our generation. #SheShed #Pinks

The guys at West Norfolk IPMS always put on a good show and it's well worth a visit. (The weather is always good for this one too.) If I don't introduce myself @mattskillmodels.bsky.social it's because I am terrible at introducing myself.😁👍 #histscalemodels #scalemodels

RIP David Hockney. You thought outside the frame and taught the rest of us to gaze.

Yorkshire, indeed the world, has lost some of its colour today. Garrowby Hill, a Yorkshire landscape by David Hockney, 1998. So long, David.

Good to see Ant Middleton campaigning for Rob Kenyon in Makerfield. Who better to help push the message that Reform is on the side of local businesses than someone who lives in Dubai and is banned as a company director for dodging £1m in tax?

Cowards. Hiding behind a mask. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

A nation with solvable problems is recast as violent dystopia, close to civil war, and why? To smooth the path to power of some of the most terrifying politicians Britain has ever seen.😔 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

NEW: John Healey quits over defence funding. Devastating letter for the government and Keir Starmer: “You have been unable and the Treasury has been unwilling to commit the resources the nation needs to defend the country at this time of rising threats.”

FIFA is reportedly now seeing around 20,000 ticket cancellations per day, the highest rate ever recorded, due to US travel restrictions and security.

Russia has now lost four elections in a row: in Romania, Moldova, Hungary, and now Armenia. What's more, no one expected the margin in Armenia to be so large. This suggests that Armenians have lost faith in Russia and are distancing themselves from it.

Armenia : 1 Russia : 0 #Armenia 🇦🇲 has chosen #Europe 🇪🇺

Live updates on the Iran war. This an active conflict where live fire is being exchanged. Usually in the form of missiles, bombs, and drones. Attempts to persuade the public that there is otherwise another state of affairs are a form of market manipulation. #Iran #Lebanon #US #Peace

This cannot be repeated enough we already have the lowest pension in Europe.

Farage's attempt to politicise the horrific murder of Henry Nowak is a disgrace.

Enough said….

Do they still do Darwin Awards?

Imagine being an experienced council officer and suddenly finding yourself having to deal with this sort of moronic behaviour... www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-n...

Governor Walz Is Correct.......

Basically, what a tone-deaf Ivanka Trump is saying about her development project on Albania's environmentally protected beaches is: "Let them eat cake!"

“In this country, we have no ‘other people.’ We are American people, all of us.” This 1940s film warning against bigotry and fascism is more relevant now than ever.

Seventy made it to the breakfast club this morning for friendly banter, great company and as much food and drink as you could manage. Bonus was seeing a copy of a D-Day newspaper from 1944 👍

Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. Remember the sacrifices made that day have contributed to the life you have today. Lest we forget.

Was so in love with this beautiful soul once upon a time. May he rest eternally. news.sky.com/story/buffy-...

Welcome home, Warriors! The youngest Ukrainian Defender who returned home today is 27 years old, while the oldest is 62. Among those returning home today are a dad and son. They served in the same brigade defending Ukraine and were taken prisoner one day apart in 2022.

It’s started

37 years ago, on the 5th of June 1989, a still unidentified Chinese man blocked a column of tanks near Tiananmen Square a day after that square had been forcibly cleared by the Chinese government. Hundreds of pro-democracy demonstrators had been killed. #otd #history 🗃️

Quite the effort to hide his swollen ankles there

“Farage has gone as close as he can to what feels like incitement… ...before stepping back and saying, “I’m not suggesting you do anything. I'm just saying it would be normal to feel pure cold rage”. Farage has been likened to 'Tommy Robinson in a suit' - is there any truth in it?

A pastor spoke at the Southampton rally last night (before violence kicked off) - Chris Wickland. Senior pastor of the Living Word Church Network, Fareham Demanded the PM "bow the knee for a righteous man who died needlessly" Attacked "cultural Marxism" & called "progressive ideologies" a "cancer"

If you say "I support Palestine Action", they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on the news.
