Yes, and actually quite important that the message is out there - you do not want to be the most senior unpardoned person on 21st Jan 2029. More broadly, the US needs a serious thing about what dismantling Trumpism looks and operates like to not shit the bed on it again.

The canceled TV show you'll never stop thinking about. The 2nd season of Raised By Wolves was absolutely mental.

Not sure the "we're totally responsible for all the illegal murderings, except this one, which people are upset about, so we didn't order that one" is going to stick.

"immigration has to go up for our growth goals, but our policy is to bring it down" uk politics in a nutshell

Now we're talking. My wife and I bumped into him in a watch repair shop in Culver City. He was an absolute gent and put up with my ridiculous fanboying.

I feel seen.

What a Public Inquiry Into Russian Influence in British Politics Must Also Investigate: Boris Johnson and Alexander Lebedev If you think the Nathan Gill conviction is bad, wait to you hear about another Leave campaigner and his connections to Putin's inner circle open.substack.com/pub/pdjukes/...

Jonathan Gullis defects to Reform saying his former party has "lost touch with the people it was meant to serve". He should know. When he was in Government he took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when it axed hundreds of his constituents' jobs just two weeks later

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

Post your favorite "Transformers" character. Wrong answers only.

“In days after Alaska, a European intel agency distributed a hard-copy report in an envelope to some of the continent’s most senior national security officials, who were shocked by the contents: Inside were details of the commercial and economic plans the Trump admin had been pursuing with Russia.”

I wrote this in frustration today. And despair. The EU was founded to ensure enduring peace on our continent. With Putin creeping ever closer they must put protectionism aside to uphold their key raison d’etre.

You know how you keep telling yourselves that "it's just a job" and think you can compartmentalise life as a decent human being? Yeah. About that.

The only reason to go kill the survivors and lie about it is because you knew the boat wasn’t carrying drugs

”Reform UK's barrister tried to scare us. Our advice to other news sites: don't play the bullies game." Martin Shipton from @nation.cymru on being bullied by Reform's lawyers: www.thenerve.news/p/reform-nat...

He sows hate and division wherever he goes...

Lock Haw-Haw in the Tower

Corporate Media is going to pretend that Trump is heartbroken about the two West Virginian National Guardsmen being shot in DC, but the entire point of moving a standing army into a peaceful city was to induce violence by The People to justify more violence by Trump on The People in retaliation.

Burn it down. Today.

reminder: keir starmer made a deal with murdoch so there would be no press reform during his government. he did that purely so a bunch of labour dorks could run around screaming 'WE GOT THE SUN ENDORSEMENT!' during the election bcos they all genuinely think it's 1995.

It is IMO not possible to operate any kind of meaningful democracy when your national press is a joke and a travesty, but your mileage on that may vary. I think it’s incontestable that it is impossible to govern well and effectively, while being in hock to these pantomime clowns.

Sleeping with a source is, yes, an ethical violation because it creates the *appearance* of bias. Acting as their political fixer and campaign adviser, using your journalistic network to do so, is *factual* harm and a betrayal of the highest order--especially when you do it for Eugenics McGee.

0.2% growth in productivity over five years from "AI". That's your revolution, lads, really? The sort of blip that could be reversed by a particularly rainy bank holiday.

Imagine TV News covering this farmer protest - banned, but turned up anyway, grinding capital to a halt - if it were about Palestine or climate change, not inheritance tax. Would they present protesters as heroes? Or showing "I need to get to work" and "me auld mam missed her hip operation" voxpops?

Love to live in a country which takes young people's safety online so seriously you have to give a random third party website your full ID to send DMs but should a young person be trans it's apparently open season for every embittered 50-something out there.

EXCLUSIVE Racist Offended by Accusations of Racism. Expressing his frustration that he keeps getting called a racist, a Clacton racist finally broke his silence on Monday. More: mrhenrymorris.substack.com/p/racist-off...

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff isn’t working for the US, or for humanity. He’s working for Vladimir Putin. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

In a normal world this would be a scandal.

If you are on BBC live, you know what to do (I don't even think this statement would be controversial among experts. He's openly monetizing the office and making literally billions of dollars!)

Burn it down.

Does the BBC think it's improper for a speaker to state their opinion that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history? Because I think almost all historians would readily agree that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history.

Bracing analysis of the rise of the far-right in Germany: "there are widespread right-wing extremist networks within the security services, the police, and the armed forces. Europe-wide networks of fascists are operating unhindered. Something is brewing. If we don't react now, it will be too late."

You can literally say what you want about trans people and the UK courts are fine with it. This was a *child*

The whole finance model of being dependent on @ukparliament.parliament.uk for setting the TV License, and appointing board members; is just broke beyond repair. There are alternatives. They need support. The BBC is just a waste of time, money, and energy. Let it fall.

BBC - "of course, we didn't mean OURSELVES"

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I guess the brave BBC will be sandblasting Orwell's "If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear" off the front of Broadcasting House?

Anders Breivik's fairy godmother is still at large.

So Laura Kuenssberg did an hour long programme yesterday and did not mention once, the party leading the polls being implicated in Russian money? Lisa Nandy, you have a golden opportunity to move Robbie Gibb on and really move the BBC back to real impartiality.

“It looks a lot like that Russians are seeking to bribe Americans to allow Russia to win a war it would otherwise lose.” open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

UK context- what would we think of someone who took part in a violent invasion of the Palace of Westminster when parliament was sitting? Farage is an enemy of democracy

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

The only reason Gill stopped being the Reform UK leader in Wales was because he failed to win a seat in the 2021 Senedd election. Zia Yusuf keeps trying to make this sound like this is ancient history, and Reform washed their hands of him, but nothing is further from the truth.

Paul Brand says they have no agency over any of it, the news cycle is like a tempest and poor Paul is but a gossamer winged butterfly entirely at the mercy of the maelstrom.
