I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

NEW: The cleavage shot no UK tabloid will print. If you want to understand how truly ignorant and absent the British media is on Russian interference, read on. A Kremlin spy scandal, a trove of bikini shots....and still nothing but tumbleweed. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

As Reform's Nathan Gill admits taking bribes from Russian 'secret service pawn' Oleg Voloshyn, here’s a nice photo of Nigel Farage with Voloshyn’s wife.

Fascists aren't interested in improving things through traditional politics. That's why they don't need sensible policies. Their only policy is: "Get rid of those who aren't like us, then everything will be perfect!" It's a cult-like promise of paradise that overrides all rational argument.

You can tell the president has a Very Good Brain, Perhaps the Best Brain Ever? because his staffers are doing everything possible to hide the record of his solemn pronouncements.

#DoYouKnow why our local buses are #BeeNetwork? The bee has been a symbol of Manchester for 200 years, and they appear on the city's crest symbolising industry and community. Several buses in our collection have bees on the side - one day, we'll have a yellow Bee Network bus in our collection.

Today we honor the flippered citizens of our icy nation. Whether you celebrate whilst eating a democracy sausage in Oz, doomscrolling in America, pulling maple taps in Canada, or elsewhere, we appreciate the support! #worldpenguinday

youtube.com/watch?v=g2Do... The Distractions were the most overlooked Manchester band. “Nobody’s Perfect” a fantastic album, not released due to dispute with Island Records. Criminally unknown while lesser albums from same label and era are best sellers.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs (Remastered 2010) Duane Allman’s unmistakable influence runs throughout this album. Bell Bottom Blues is for me the outstanding track.

"The only parts of Europe that aren’t being boiled dry are being washed away in floods. The EU must urgently update its climate targets to reflect the scientific reality, and put a stop to new fossil fuel projects as a first step to a full phase-out." – @tomgelin.bsky.social
