3/6 Trump’s leverage on Ukraine is decreasing: US aid has stopped and Russian assets are likely to fund Ukraine soon. Ukraine also makes more weapons every month. He has less power over Ukraine than in February

Gill’s sentence sets a clear legal benchmark – leaving the way clear for Parliament to finally hold a much-needed inquiry into Kremlin meddling in domestic affairs… This inquiry cannot help but look at events surrounding the EU Referendum bylinetimes.com/2025/11/21/n...

Houlahan: "I'm just continually stunned by the fact the commander in chief, the president, has called for my death. And that's something that should be chilling for everybody, and everybody should be worried about their safety in this nation when the president can yield that sort of statement."

Johnson: Let the bodies pile high! Number 10 official: 23,000 enough for you, Prime Minister?

So what does it say about the state of the 🇺🇸 Press Corps that Trump sticking his finger in a reporter’s face and shouting “Quiet, Piggy!” at her was broken by @peoplemag.bsky.social?

Blackheath Christmas tree is up and lit (and only in the last hour or so)

Profumo had much less on his conscience in the greater scheme of things, but his response to being caught in a catastrophic error of judgement and ethics should be more widely imitated.

I’m not sure how I would deal with being found to have been responsible for 23k deaths, but I think it would likely involve removing myself from public life and finding some way to help save lives.

Welp, a guy I’ve been considering reaching out to for help with my microbiome is suddenly out on The Bad Site cheering for the CDC page saying vaccines cause autism, so I guess that’s a bullet dodged.

Nobody held accountable for this generational damage

Oh, look. That thing that was always going to be a total disaster turns out to have been a total disaster. I will never not be angry about this.

Has Nigel Farage or Zia Yusuf remembered who Nathan Gill is yet? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A very personal story of Covid tragedy and Dominic Cummings, which I wrote early in the pandemic in 2020. bylinetimes.com/2020/05/27/c...

JP Morgan knew about Epstein's sex trafficking, but didn't report it so they could keep doing business with him.

This has to be one of of the most iconic photographs of the 20th century from March 1907. Sixteen years old suffragette Dora Thewlis. A poor mill worker from Honley in Huddersfield she was a member of the Women's Social and Political Union At a demonstration in London she is

As we move into “foreigners are cancelling Christmas in the name of political correctness” season it’s worth remember that Christmas was indeed once banned in England, by Christians and the man who enforced the ban has a statue in his honour outside the Houses of Parliament.

The Mayor of London has told me in public just now he supports scrapping the two child benefit cap - when the Chancellor can afford to do so. I asked him if he'd support a wealth tax on assets - and he refused to answer the question. Labour always supporting the 1%.

Also reversed the policy of closing and filling in canals. Without Castle, we would have lost a significant proportion of our leisure options and wildlife habitats.

This week is Road Safety Week & a chance to talk about Barbara Castle! Barbara was Transport Minister for three years yet she was able to introduce the Breathalyzer, a proper integrated transport strategy & more! This was done despite fierce opposition. 📸 Photo from the Parliamentary Achieve

😡😡

“Quiet, piggy.” Whatever filters the man once had—and there were vanishingly few—they are all gone. All I see is a senile old man in a home, abusing the staff who are just trying to take care of him because his children will no longer speak to him.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

Daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH. Volume 🆙

Remember Jamal Khashoggi.

The fact that no one in the room stood up for her says a lot about how we got here bsky.app/profile/pale...

The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world" That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

Labour MP for Stroud, Simon Opher, says his party should "stop the scapegoating of immigrants because it's wrong and cruel". "We should push back on the racist agenda of Reform rather than echo it".

In 1980, my cousin walked out of Iran aged sixteen. Nine months with no contact. Nearly a decade before he saw his father again. Today, boys like him are painted as threats instead of survivors. So I wrote the truth. Substack link below. substack.com/profile/2118...

I am wearing my great-grandmother's earrings. Made in Hungary in the 19thC, they're among the few things that were portable enough (albeit sewn into clothing) to escape being expropriated by the Russians. Fuck this cruel and useless government.

You know, those photographs of barrels of gold teeth come to mind

Your regular reminder that there is absolutely nothing "hard" or "tough" about targeting the poorest, most vulnerable, and least able to defend themselves groups of people on the entire planet

It's a short step away from extracting gold teeth....

Congratulations to the Labour party for losing whatever political capital it has left after eighteen months of fucking around

Congratulations to Labour who have won the coveted Tommy Robinson endorsement. Excited for sensibles to explain to me why I have to vote for the people enacting actual fascist policy.

Labour policy is being celebrated by Tommy Robinson. That's it. That's all you ever need to say to explain who Labour are.

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable. A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

We do this about 50 Sundays a year and have been doing it for over 12 years

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform. Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
