One hand washes the other

Kristi Noem must resign now.

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets. So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

Having stand named in his honour was “almost like a fairy tale” says emotional Pat Stanton An emotional Pat Stanton described having a stand named in his honour as “almost like a fairy tale.”  The Hibs legend delivered the match ball ahead of Wednesday night’s game against Rot-Weiss Essen and was…

Incontrovertible evidence, now, of *police* investigating families supporting their kids with gender affirming healthcare in the UK. For trying to do the best for your child, following best practice in most of the world, here you get a visit from the police. Thank you, Wes Streeting.

The Tories keep banging on about "disability benefit fraud" like 2000s TV presenters. The fraud rate for PIP is non-existent: 0.2%.

"That little girl that we saw.. paralysed from the waist down, who was brushing her teeth when there was an air strike on the shelter she was staying in. As she hit the ground she was still conscious & watched her friend die in front of her" James Elder from UNICEF on #GMB

Zoe Gardner: "70% of the asylum seekers who've come to the UK in the last 20 years came from countries that we had previously colonised. That means they speak the language, they have ties to this country, we have communities here" Yep. #GMB

Breaking: per FEMA sources Kristi Noem was responsible for THREE DAY DELAY in deploying search-and-rescue in Texas Fire her. Blood on her hands.

More than a quarter of people think MPs expenses are one of the top three costs for government. A higher % than think the same for pensions or education.

Iraq war ‘made extremists of people’: ex-police terrorism chief looks back at 7/7

Oh this is funny from Spiked. Tell me you don't know mining history without telling me you don't know mining history.

"Bob Vylan must be stopped!" "50 Palestinians dead" "Antisemitic students to be deported!" "42 Palestinians dead" "Protestors banned!" "67 Palestinians dead" Again and again and again.

After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.

What about biggest success? Here it’s not a particularly cheery verdict from the public. Asked in their own words, nothing dominates the word cloud, followed by the NHS.

🎂 It’s the anniversary of Labour’s election win. The Government had some early stumbles, but what do the public think is their biggest mistake? Asked to say in their own words, it’s one of the most stark word clouds we’ve seen. Winter Fuel Allowance drowns everything else out.

Thank goodness we have a presidential task force to combat antisemitism which will surely look into this pronto.

The federal government could announce tomorrow that it will no longer recognize same-sex marriages and every single person in one would need to sue to enforce the recognition of their marriage. If you can't sue, it won't be recognized. No right is safe.

Do all the Tough Guys feel safe yet?

Reform UK Worcestershire’s first council cabinet meeting lasts 20 minutes. Chaos. www.redditchadvertiser.co.uk/news/2526941...

No organization is better than ICE is.

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

Will no one stop this maniac who wants to make life easier for people?!?!!

Poor management has decimated the University of Dundee. Today I probed former execs on: 🎈The ballooning of expensive consultants over student-facing staff ✍️Substandard equality impact assessments ❌How staff have been systematically ignored Still no justice for Dundee.

NO REDUNDANCIES at the University of Dundee. Fantastic news in our fight to save jobs, as interim Principal Prof Nigel Seaton confirms that there will be no redundancies. A massive victory for everyone who has supported us. Looking forward to receiving the removal of Section 188 in writing.

No matter how often I see this data, I always find it shocking. Of all the massive growth in output produced by the world's workers since 1980, more than half of it has been captured by the richest 1%. This is what happens when capital controls production.

Today the Homes for Us alliance were outside the Housing 2025 conference demanding the politicians inside listen to our demands: rent controls now!

"the average British user dedicates more than 42 hours a month to watching videos which rarely last longer than thirty seconds" Just an almost unutterably bleak statistic www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

My favourite bit of this is the idea that the commander in chief of the world's dominant intelligence agencies needs people on Truth Social to tell him what Medvedev said in a speech.

In the world Labour is creating you can be as enthusiastic as you like about genocide but it will be a criminal offence to express support for Palestine Action's attempts to stop it.

🚨This is 💯 worth your time “I have watched with dismay and increasing horror as my nephew, an educated man who is well aware of his heritage, has become the architect of immigration policies that repudiate the very foundation of our family’s life in this country” www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

📢Rent controls now!📢 If you're in Manchester tomorrow, the Homes for Us alliance needs you to join us outside of the Housing 2025 conference to demand new powers for mayors to implement rent controls! Find out more: homesforus.org.uk/campaigns/ta...

This is another one of those things that illuminates just how in the fucking tank so much of the mainstream media is, how jingoistic and servile. Slobbering over any president like this would be a bad idea, but to do it for Trump is malfeasance on a civilizational level.

"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?" No: 85% Yes: 5% YouGov / June 22, 2025

This is absolutely insane shit to write down and publish. The left scared her. This might beat allll the other NYT headlines. Truly spectacular. The GOP banned abortion, the GOP said they would prosecute doctors providing abortions, the 6 Republican appointed SCOTUS judges overturned Roe.

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq, and Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent future war crimes, but is proscribing Palestine Action for doing the same to try to stop war crimes that are happening right now.

Keir Starmer endorses an attack which his own Attorney General has advised may be illegal

Look, Britain is always going to support the US but this is an absolutely nonsense statement. Iran didn't leave the negotiation table. Israel launched an unprovoked attack which America has now joined.

Could it be that Blue Labour making the case for Reform's policy platform actually benefits Reform?

Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied

The case of the 61 year old man who couldn’t add up…Farage roasted at PMQs 😂
