Oh.

I have complete faith that Lord Mandelson can bounce back from this episode and that he has the fight in him to resign in disgrace at least one more time.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Most of Epstein’s victims were either too frightened to come forward, or silenced through legal threats. Oh, and here’s a senior British politician giving Epstein tips on how to silence them

Ok, let’s do this🙄 We’ll start with an explainer covering: 🕒What is a 15-minute city 🏫What on Earth is going on with Oxford 👽Where the conspiracy theories have come from And then we’ll look at the Telegraph article 🧵 1/25

The director of Melania movie

That's a couple of guys who'll be phoning in sick on Monday. I hope they'll manage ok without them at the rocket science laboratory.

Minnesota based Independent Journalist GEORGIA FORT has been arrested for filming a protest of the church pastor that works as an ICE manager. SPREAD THE WORD! Georgia has been doing outstanding reporting from ground zero!

Rachel Reeves: "It is not right that people who don't go to university bear the cost for others to." I don't use local leisure centres and I don't drive, so will I be made exempt for taxation that pays for all that stuff? Or is it only education we'll be going after

I liked it better when tech entrepreneurs looked like this.

Is it *still* January?

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally." In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

Can't believe I forgot to celebrate Justin Webb Day yesterday. Must have been distracted by all that normality in America

I think at this point the UK has accepted Paddington as the Death Bear, collector of souls. So, I think as a nation we should start smearing marmalade on the eyes of the dead and whisper “fare for the crossing”. It’ll feel weird now but, in three of four generations, no one will question it.

Looks like we're gonna need a bigger petrol station

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

13/ If an American opposes what ICE is doing but not enough to vote in the primaries or general against a candidate who cheerleads for it then whether it's fair to say "this is not who we are" it's definitely fair to point out that "this is who we are willing to be".

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

Fascist bastards.

One thing that's under-appreciated is how brilliant Claudia's reading of the game is. She has to decide who goes first, and therefore who will have the last vote, at the round table, and so many times her choice leads to the maximum drama when it comes to the final reveal. #TheTraitors

Stephen could have betrayed Rachel for fifty grand but he valued his dignity and his honour more highly than that. In these dark and vicious days we should shout his name from the rooftops. #TheTraitors

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Danish PM in Chequers today

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

L'Arrivée d'un Train Avec des Grands Naturels en Gare de La Ciotat

I am old enough to remember Putin saying as late as 18 February 2022 - less than a week before the invasion - that Russia had no intention to use military force against Ukraine.

Quisling

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans. When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

Every day we all have to think about one of the most irredeemable cunts in the history of the world. What’s he doing? What’s he said now? How will it affect your life? What will be left once he’s finished smashing it all up? It’s unconscionable

It's somewhat reassuring to see that Orban has joined Trump's Board of Peace, alongside Lukashenko and Netanyahu. They might have won the occasional battle but in over 1,100 years of history, Hungary has been on the losing side in every war it's ever fought.

OFFS

Unless Trump is stopped, the USA and Russia will have signed their own version of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact before the year is out.

He's completely mad.

“If you don’t want it, I can give it to my friend in Washington.”

"The trouble with London is there's too many immigrants now" London was literally founded by immigrants, two thousand years ago.

When are people going to be held accountable for the nonsense slop and puff they emit.

A real shame if this photo went viral again today.

Incredible piece of Search Engine Optimisation

"And we now have María on the line who would like to swap a Nobel Peace Prize for the presidency of Venezuela..."

The woman at the hot drinks counter did that think of making a heart shape in the froth on my hot chocolate, but then I held the cup in my left hand and it just made me think of Buster Gonad. @vizcomic.bsky.social
