Monarchy and the Church have always been in it together, ever since Christianity was designated the state religion of the Roman Empire. Emperors knew how powerful the idea of “one god up there, one king down here” was.

I need this on a bumper sticker. ⛽️

This is like outlawing shark attacks in cornfields.

We were crucified nearby… how often can you say that?

Absolutely disgusting. The most powerful nation on earth killing the most vulnerable. And all to soften up an independent sovereign nation for a hostile military takeover, that will only happen to distract from a paedophile's crimes, and to put the latest version of the Mafia back in charge.

Left: That time Conservative Boris Johnson lost 5,000 messages from the early days of Covid - no backup Right: Labour’s Morgan McSweeney lost his messages to Peter Mandelson - no backup exists. Convenient amnesia strikes across the Conservatives and Labour when accountability is at stake

The irony is not lost on us.

I cannot believe that Rutte is saying this on behalf of NATO. In which case why is he still in post?

An air power expert explains why Iran is more powerful now than before the war Regime change via air power has a very, very poor track record.

Hard to be optimistic about anything at the moment, but there is one positive development I suppose. Donald Trump has made the strongest possible case for why countries must turn their back on fossil fuel. And they seem to be listening.

The argument over the design of Britain’s banknotes is absurd, and misses a much more important financial decision taken in Westminster that most politicians seem to have missed or ignored ✏️ Patience Wheatcroft

How to spot a racist: Lee Anderson is attacking brown people for praying in public, after defending the white men who tried to kill Muslims.

She's on fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️

Just imagine if these rags led with headlines like: • OIL GIANTS BANK RECORD PROFITS WHILE BRITAIN FREEZES • SUPERMARKETS RAMP UP PRICES AS EXECUTIVES POCKET MILLIONS • BILLIONAIRES BUY UP HOMES — FAMILIES PRICED OUT A girl can dream…

I was invited to appear on GBNews for PMQs Live this week. While the channel is not to my taste, I agreed to attend in the spirit of open debate. It also gave me a chance to challenge the channel on its pro-Reform party agenda. The discussion was in good spirits, though I think I touched a nerve.

Trump is so pathetic.

GB NEWS SCANDAL 🚨 Clean information is, in theory, as precious as clean water. We know what happened to water in this country. Is our national news going the same way? 🔍️ Read the full dossier of how GB News became Reform TV ✏️ @arusbridger.bsky.social

CNN’s Harry Enten: “John Fetterman's had a 108 pt drop in his net approval with PA Dems since 2023. His net rating is -40 pt net approval with them. His net popularity with his own party is worse than all senators who lost a primary this century. There's no historical analog to his unpopularity.”

I see Question Time has reached its inevitable endgame. It was bound to happen.

This is absolutely mad. Any school indulging in this sort of nonsense should be thoroughly ashamed. One of the books banned is David Mitchell's autobiography for goodness sake!

This is a deeply dangerous escalation by Starmer, taking us further into an illegal & unpopular war, and making us a target. When was the vote in parliament??

This is what happens when your country (or state) puts religion before education.

Taking care of business. We need to do this and move on.

YouGov releases results of new poll of YouGov staff From the new Private Eye, out now.

Democrats create jobs.

Way beyond military strategy & operations this checklist makes sense Like any critical situation though the emotional urge maybe to think it’s a unique crisis & you should throw out the rules, my learning from Critical Care in health is that in crises you lean into what you’ve learnt not panic away

March 8th: Witkoff: "We can take Russia at their word when they say they aren't helping Iran" March 12th: Trump: "Putin might be helping Iran a bit." March 20th: Putin offers to stop sharing intel with Iran if US cuts off Ukraine

Remember: It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

This is going to be the GOAT of didn’t age well takes

This should be put to a House of Commons vote.

Vietnam MK II.

I want to scream.

Of course they did because you can tell when a Reform politician is lying. Their lips move.

“Trump’s legacy will be summed up simply like this - he was the worst President in American history.” - Fred Wertheimer, attorney, lobbyist, activist

De Niro has it right. The American people can agree on some things after all.

We are always told Iran is the dangerous aggressor but the last time it invaded anywhere was in 1856. While Israel are invading 3 countries right now. And the USA are bombing, starving and imprisoning the leader of 3 different countries. Who is really the dangerous aggressor?

Labour needs to legislate fast to keep this kind of money out of UK politics. If not, Farage will buy himself a fascist state.

Just imagine if a Tory minister had used these words about the Jewish community…

So when he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you were cool with that? When he made fun of a handicapped reporter, you were cool with that? When he had a mob attack the capital to steal the election, you were cool with that? But now gas is expensive so you regret your vote? Yeah?

Marina Purkiss points out that anti Muslim remarks are considered ok but if they were anti Jewish remarks there would be uproar Point being, no form of discrimination is acceptable, and that it's dismissed because it's anti Muslim discrimination, that shows a shameful double standard in society

He warned us he would run our country like his businesses.

The national debt just hit a record $39 trillion. Rich Americans used to finance the government by paying taxes. Now, they finance the government by lending it money and collecting interest payments — profiting as the rest of us pay them back. It's a big switcheroo you need to understand.

Republicans will charge a woman who took a legal abortion pill to end her own pregnancy with murder, but they won't charge the ICE agents who cold-bloodedly murdered Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti for absolutely no reason whatsoever. www.cbsnews.com/news/georgia...
