Some of you may have been under the impression that it exists to help reconstruct Gaza. But the word “Gaza” does not appear in the group’s proposed charter, which is basically a monument to the Man Who Will Never Ever Win a Nobel Prize. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

Got mine!

Listen 👇

Crime boss demands $1billion to join his syndicate. Dictators queue up to join, I wonder why? Is it because they want to invest in peace in Gaza or perhaps there is another motive.

I disagree on a couple of specifics here. One is that I think the current reset exhausts the slow and steady reset model. The EU doesn't want to keep doing this. Second is that Swiss style is an option now that model is updated, but that would require a major UK effort. On CU / SM I agree.

I cannot see this resolving in a ceasefire but would be very happy to be proved wrong.

Capitalism really isn’t working for most of us is it?

Farage is hoovering up Tory retreads so will have a problem keeping up the insurgent act. However most folks who might vote for him won’t be up on the detail. I wonder if there will be any complaints from Clacton re their absent MP?

news.sky.com/story/trump-... Trump is the most ignorant, crass and unpleasant man. He never bothers to find out the facts and casually insults everyone. His narcism and inflated ego means he’s not qualified for any role in public service but of course for him the notion of public service is alien.

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Filed my tax return last week. Wondering what the HMRC would have done if I'd neglected to declare £380,000 on account of the fact that "I don't do computers." #Farage

bsky.app/profile/zete... Wow, swap Puerto Rico for Greenland, it’s getting crazier!

"Economists at LSE found 16,400 firms stopped exporting goods to the EU." Brexit is punishing the small businesses driving the British economy and employment. https://lordslibrary.parliament.uk/uk-eu-relations-proposals-for-customs-union-and-connections-with-the-eu-single-market/#heading-1

Excellent blog post from Chris. I offer an additional thought. If Trump did try to take Greenland by force I doubt the US military would take part causing a constitutional crisis. The US military leaders have wealth of geo-political and historic knowledge and would appreciate the consequences.

Someone sent this to me earlier. It's a genuine Farage quote from 2015 and boy does that not say it all about the defender of British culture.

Trump sold the oil from a seized Venezuelan tanker for $500,000,000.. Where is the money? He deposited it in a bank in Qatar where Congress can't get to it. He stole the oil from Venezuela, but he stole the money from America. Why has Congress not impeached and imprisoned him for his crimes?

America has two major parties: One party exists to serve the demented whims of our Nazi Pedophile Mad King. One party isn’t sure whether to fund his lawless goons who are shooting legal observers in the face. We need to end the two party system.

Nigel Farage's pitch to lead the UK into a bright new tomorrow includes his claim that he doesn't know how to use a computer.

Ossoff: "POTUS called for this man [Mark Kelly] to be hanged. A combat veteran, naval aviator, astronaut, senator. He demanded his execution bc he stated a principle enshrined in uniform code of military justice. If we become numb to that we lose sight of how extraordinary our obligations are."

⚡️On Jan. 22, Russia stepped up drone reconnaissance over Kyiv and the surrounding region. Monitoring channels report intensified voice communications on combat frequencies among strategic aviation units — a sign Moscow may be preparing another massive strike in the coming hours or days.

“We do not have any known linkage between flu vaccine and voice disorders like this,” says the medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases about new claims from RFK, Jr.

How long before Russian mothers rebel against their sons being sent to the meat grinder?

London Muslim’s mayoral candidate for Reform UK, Cunningham, declares an all-out war on crime - but not white-collar crime. Three of her firms were forcibly struck off for missing paperwork. Yet Farage calls her a ‘successful entrepreneur.’” #ukpolitics

Sorry to do this to everyone. #Earworm

Disease prevention by vaccine is one of the great triumphs of science yet these idiots want to destroy it on the alter of personal freedom. People will die as a consequence.

On Isherwood posts: Cabaret is a great film and an outstanding play, but to get a real feel about early 1930s read the Isherwood source material: the Berlin stories and diaries. Like Zone of Interest the menace and horror is what you can sense off-page/off-screen. And it was written at the time.

“There’s only one issue left…” Russia wants all of Ukraine Shouldn’t take long to sort out Trump will give it to him!

#ukrainianview OBJECTIVE: KILL MORE THAN THEY CAN RECRUIT The Ukrainian military is intending to employ drones on such a scale that they can average 50,000 Russian military deaths a month. 600,000 a year. It’s a bleak and ruthless target as we enter year five of the fight for freedom. Yet it has

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot That’s murder

Credit @sophiep25397.bsky.social on Twitter Farage lied when he said he was too ill to appear for the BBC interview on Sunday. The Heartland Institute, whose party he attended instead, doesn't believe in tobacco harms, climate change and seeks the dismantling of the NHS. Be warned. If you care

I’m not a nationalistic flag waver but I’m proud of one thing, the English language. Across the globe it helps people communicate by using a common tongue. This doesn’t take away from the culture expressed by all other languages or the need for English speakers to learn them.

So Trump has pardoned the Jan 6th rioters. Employed them in a government program ICE with YOUR tax dollars and has now set them back on you all with absolutely no consequences even if they shoot innocent people. 🧐 America citizens are still not protesting enough.

Feverishly raking it in from media deals, gold bullion brand promotion, X and other dodgy work that has nothing to do with his MP duties. Farage is a pisstaking grifter who has made us all worse off so he can get richer. And that’s all he’ll ever do. (Extract from Times and Libdem report on Brexit)

The BBC has gone beyond both-sidesism, and frequently now presents only Trump's account of events (This isn't the only recent example)

substack.com/@brunnowalla... Bloody hell this is amazing, I hope it’s not AI!

Farage and Badenoch have done some shabby stuff but priming Trump about the Chagos Islands to embarrass Starmer and trash NATO is the shabbiest.

24% of people who voted Labour at the last general election now plan to vote Green or Lib Dem. 0% of those who voted Reform at the last election now plan to vote Labour.
