This heartbreaking footage of Ukrainian tennis player Marta Kostyuk preparing for tournaments amid air raid sirens and missile attacks is a stark reminder that russians shouldn't be allowed to participate in international sporting events until they stop their genocidal war and are brought to justice

AMERICA TODAY: millions of people pretending the President of the United States isn’t suffering from acute mental decline and some weird flesh-eating thing, that he doesn’t come across completely unhinged in every interaction, or that he isn’t barreling the nation into financial ruin.

Just a selection from the last 2 days. Reform is a disturbingly inadequate and racist political outfit. This ugly collection of prejudiced malfunctioning ghouls would wreak utter havoc on the country, just as they are in every council that voters were stupid enough to let them get their hands on.

Imagine how much money we’ve wasted. Imagine how much could have gone into the NHS, public services, tackling poverty… Will anyone be held responsible though? For the lies that were told, the false promises made? Perhaps a brexit tax on all the corporations that cashed in? I’M SO CROSS!

My latest Reform Uncovered story for @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/03/24/r...

‘The Israeli government wasn’t concerned with settling a political arrangement that would emerge on the “day after” – the lawn had to be burned to its roots.’ Online now from the next issue, Amjad Iraqi on the Israeli military playbook. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Clean information and clean elections are as important as clean water. But are the regulators up to the job? The way GB News has quietly been allowed to become Reform TV should alarm us all app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/72784/...

Fox is not journalism. It's anti-journalism. The more you watch, the less you know.

Thank you, Mr. President. IG: endofnews

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

But they remember: Specifically, they remember that for 14 months, [Trump] tariffed them, mocked their security concerns, & repeatedly insulted them. As long ago as January 2020, Trump told several European officials that “if Europe is under attack, we will never come to help you & support you.”

Farage & Trump. Malignant carbuncles festering into cleaner, healthier places, infecting those they reach. Sarah is of course right about Farage's insatiable greed for money, but it is the Pinocchio level of lies he's paid to tell that prove how dangerous and repulsive he is. Always about the 💰

When I said some Reform supporters are racist, this is what I had in mind. I will always stand against those who try to divide us with hate. 👇

"GB News has become a home for the 'white genocide' conspiracy theory – a narrative that has inspired real-world violence. Ofcom's repeated failure to act over this channel's toxic output is more than just a regulatory failure – it's a policy choice"

Truly one of the all time great takes

Hey Nick, how did you feel about Rishi Sunak celebrating Diwali outside Number 10 when he was PM? Your leader was practising a non-Christian religion outside one of London’s biggest landmarks - did you complain then? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is excellent. Absolutely scandalous that GB News essentially has a licence to spread misinformation like this without OFCOM stepping in. www.thenewworld.co.uk/the-gb-news-...

He was certainly afraid of Vietnam-style combat in Vietnam.

Do we want ’tax dodgers’ running Britain?

It's a bloody good read

Ideally the President of the United States and the stupidest person on the planet should be two different people…

It wasn't a "Military Academy"—it was a reform school. And that isn't an army uniform—it's a costume from a community theater production of "The Nutcracker."

It’s gonna be a pretty solid weekend if social media is flooded with clips of Laura Loomer getting her ass handed to her in-person by Indian journalists. Shout-out to Rajdeep Sardesai for kicking off the festivities.

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Defense secretary openly states that a pro-Trump billionaire taking over a news network (following regulatory help from the administration) will result in coverage more favorable for the administration.

I have a friend, who specialised in how genetics is taught, whose grant was axed by one of these men. His life is in tatters, and his work matters.

🤣👌

The finest take down of the institution of monarchy and "class" and the grasping, greedy, venal, entitled, and very stupid people it enables that you will read today or any day. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion. That's $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

So "Patriotic" so much a "man of the people" that he can barely be arsed doing the job as an MP that taxpayers give him £92k a year plus expenses for (and he was just the same as an MEP) Charlatan

If Trump wants Zelenskyy’s help against drones, I think JD Vance to have to fly to Kiev, and sit in the Ukrainian equivalent of the Oval Office and say, “Thank you.”

“Don’t call Reform racist!” they howl. “It won’t persuade anyone and you will alienate their voters.” Hmm. No. I’ll say it. And I’ll keep saying it. And maybe one day, this corrupt fascist outfit cosplaying a political party fit for power will collapse under the weight of its own ugliness.

More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave. No different to the old BNP or National Front voters. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The fact that Isabel Oakeshott, economic migrant to the UAE may just turn into a refugee fleeing to the UK from a war zone will cause a level of schadenfreude in me that may just make me topple right over.

Trump Attacks Iran. How Operation Epic Fury unfolded… The new Private Eye is out now.

Farage emulating ‘his hero Trump’ in deriding byelection results, says new Green MP

After mentioning four dead US servicemen Trump starts talking about his ballroom. In a competitive field, this may be one of the most offensive things he has ever done.

At least the families of the fallen have this to comfort them.

Might surprise people to know that in the latest British Election Study, Muslims are more politically fragmented than CofE Christians (measured by effective number of parties)

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey: "Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing. Hope this helps

observer.co.uk/news/columni... thoughtful ‘inclusive’ reflection on the bafta controversy👏

Any voting irregularities should be investigated. It’s a really important issue But the idea that 4k+ votes were ‘stolen’ is Trump level nonsense V worried British media could end up in same place as US, legitimating ‘stolen votes’ claims by parroting BS lines from Farage and Co

Beautiful 👏

For St David’s Day, Ciaran Jenkins of Channel 4 News and I play the Welsh song Ar Hyd y Nos (All Through The Night). #StDavidsDay

It’s not leadership anymore it’s a circus, and everyone’s fighting for center ring.
