Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

THIS IS WHY

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

One problem with β€˜AI v Doctor’ diagnostic studies is that most diagnoses are either obvious or emergent (ie have an unfolding-over-time dimension in which an ongoing clinician-patient relationship can prove crucial). Also, the most important things a GP knows are a) whether to refer and b) to whom.

DOGE takes over federal grants website, wresting control of billions A DOGE engineer removed users’ access to grants.gov, threatening to further slow the process of awarding thousands of federal grants per year.

U.S. DOGE Service employees have inserted themselves into the government’s long-established process to alert the public about potential federal grants and allow organizations to apply for funds.

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism"

"That theory has been debunked"

"One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.

This isn't due to luck or skill.

Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.

Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

No!

Stop this, major media!

That’s _not_ what just happened!

DOJ at _no_ point made _any_ commitment to β€œbring Garcia home,” nor did it ask for β€œmore time” to β€œbring Garcia home.”

It said that Garcia is in the custody of El Salvador and the court has no jurisdiction there.

Get it right, dammit!

News travels fast in today's age of globalisation. I suppose we might return to the semaphore soon to listen to some folk, but in the mean time a lot of people seem weirdly keen not to spend their time in a detention facility.

Even if there was any consistency, would you buy a second-hand car from someone who breaks treaties - if you regard treaties as being a form of contract - at whim over any future agreements - trade or other?

People in the USA & beyond are being punished, fired, defunded, deported, disciplined & silenced by Trump’s administration for their opinions & beliefs. In unprecedented numbers. I thought the β€˜anti-woke’ warriors really hated this stuff? They all seem to have disappeared…
