UK trying to work out if they can just go back to work on Monday and pretend they never left the EU…

Left: Yvette Cooper criticising Iran for not allowing peaceful protest Right: Labour's Baron Hain criticising Yvette Cooper and Keir Starmer for conflating non violent protest with terrorism, effectively not allowing peaceful protest

🚨The President of the United States turns ICE into his own personal secret police. 🚨ICE agents invade American cities harassing and abusing those living there. 🚨ICE agent murders an innocent woman in cold blood. 📢Fraser Nelson - this is all the fault of migrants. www.thetimes.com/article/989b...

Seriously, Europe, UK, just shut him the fuck DOWN. -or at LEAST get every gov site OFF of there! Jesus!

Abolish the crazy thugs at ICE.

If a way to prevent deaths exists, and even with those resources available, you believe we should only keep the healthiest alive, you are the definition of a eugenicist. Kennedy is a eugenicist.

I regret to inform Leila Cunningham that Londoners do not need her “pity.” What it needs is for fewer people to talk about it like it’s a haunted theme park - I live here, and it is, despite its issues, a fabulous place to be.

I never remember Robin Cook saying this

EXCLUSIVE Following the news that one of the first things a Nigel Farage Reform government would do is ensure that “the young are taught correctly about our history”, I have been passed these leaked pages from Reform’s proposed GCSE history textbook. mrhenrymorris.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

Donald Trump, saying the quiet part out loud: “You gotta win the midterms. Because if we don’t win the midterms, they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll get impeached.”

This is a very satisfying headline to read and say out loud :)

I recommend you look into the dependence of the UK's Trident system on US support and maintenance... What made sense in 2014, does NOT instill confidence today.

www.theguardian.com/society/2026... "There was also tentative evidence that varenicline, a medication used to help people stop smoking, could increase quit rates among adults who vape" I'm living evidence it does.

My brother's girlfriend's son has released his first album. Self-penned, played every instrument, recorded, engineered and produced it. Vocals recorded inside his bedroom wardrobe, trivia fans. I'm dead impressed. I kinda love it. Give it a listen. open.spotify.com/album/1c7h1h...

Ah, New Year’s Day! That can only mean one thing. YES, THAT’S RIGHT! The 148th anniversary of New York Herald proprietor James Gordon Bennett Jr being banished from polite society for pissing in his fiancée’s fireplace, thus giving the world the phrase ‘Gordon Bennett!’ 🧵

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's the Sun reflecting off Brendan O'Neill's forehead.

A good read,this.

MSF (Doctors Without Borders) was born in part of the realization by the Red Cross that they'd failed to speak out against the Holocaust of Jewish people in the Nazi camps. Founding MSF in 1971, former RC medics vowed to bear witness as well as rendering aid. Israel is blocking MSF from Gaza now...

Offering the Guardian a more accurate headline.

#OtD 31 Dec 1912 a strike of NYC hotel workers and wait staff broke out, organised by the @iww. Workers battled armed police and bosses' thugs. The strike became general in Jan, demanding better pay and the abolition of tips. Learn more about the IWW: workingclasshistory.com/tag/iww/

BREAKING: Israel has banned Doctors Without Borders from entering Gaza because healing injured Palestinians is terrorism now x

No! Iä! Iä! Cthulhu ftaghn! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxSc...

Doctors Without Borders is also Hamas, just like Human Rights Watch are, like Amnesty International and indeed every aid and civil liberties organisation on earth that comments. Mercenaries firing machine guns at starving civilians scrambling for bags of flour though, that is just fine.

Hot take: Weed should be at least a liiiiiittle bit illegal

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, "And you are going to forbid that debate in this Parliament?" "What is happening in Gaza is a genocide" "Repeat after me, ladies and gentlemen, it is a genocide"

Rupert Lowe needs to be hounded out of public life and must resign from Parliament.

If I decided it was too much bother to clean my house so I moved into an igloo in Antarctica for the rest of my life, you'd think I was awful stupid. Tech bros deciding they'd lose too much profit if they stopped destroying the Earth because they can move to Mars someday is even stupider.
