Tomorrow's wrap-around front page of The National.

This is the human cost.

As the UK Government talks a big game of being ready to join the US and Israel in war, over 150 families are mourning their children.

Their little girls were mostly aged 7-12.

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

β€’Clean up your email inbox (badly)
β€’Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
β€’Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
β€’Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Tierney has been great the last few weeks but Saracchi always brings great energy when he comes on, and always when it's needed.

Three American soldiers killed: the horror, the horror. How can such a thing happen in a war?? Where is the humanity

Over a hundred Iranian schoolkids killed: meh

Feels like a win after that brutal 1st half.
Means nothing if we don't win on Wednesday though.

1. The Green Party got 40% more votes than Farage, there aren't that many foreign voters.

2. Both Nigel Farage's wives and his girlfriend are 'foreign voters'.

Iran must refrain from indiscriminate military strikes, but the US and Israel can do whatever the fuck they want. As per.
Notable absence of any reference to international law too, of course.

The fact that Wilson defends the managerial recruitment process by citing 2 appointments from over 20 years ago just sums them up.

The Hanson Brothers! Was looking for SlapShot on a streaming service a wee while ago and couldn't find it anywhere.

I wish it were true that "no one is above the law". But while the City of London acts as laundromat for the world's dirty money, as almost all fraud and waste crime go unprosecuted, as no one has gone to jail for the financial crash or the poisoning of our rivers, this is manifestly untrue.

The Grand Old Duke of York

He had 12 Million Quid

He gave it to someone he never met

For something he never did

Royal Mail isn't delivering letters to maximise profit.
English water is filled with sewage and is killing people.
UK Energy is the most expensive in the world.

All of these things are privatised and all of them are the worst ever.

Hatate shouldn't kick a ball for us again. Can excuse lack of quality but not lack of effort.

Jim Ratcliffe abandoned workers in Grangemouth and fled to Monaco to avoid paying taxes in the UK.

His hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Another super-rich man blaming immigrants for the problems caused by billionaires.

McGregor was found liable for sexual assault in 2024 and the jury ordered him to pay the victim $257,000. He lost all his appeals.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Public ownership of water is the only way to deliver security, efficiency, investment and value for money 37 years of privatisation has been a disaster

England's water companies don't pay fines.

Thames Water, with nearly 200 criminal convictions, fined Β£122.4m in Aug/Dec 2024 for sewage dumping, paying illegal dividends.

Secretly agreed - Paid only Β£24.5m (20%) in Sept 2025. Remaining 80% may be paid by 2030 or never.

Why are companies indulged?
