Explains a lot about the failure of Brexit that its main adherents should right now be prostrating themselves before the US because they think that's what an independent UK means.

Ian Huntley death: the summer we watched a senseless tragedy unfold in Soham How the desperate search for two missing girls in 2002 and their now-dead killer claimed its place in the countryโ€™s museum of appalling crimes

Ian Huntley has died after being attacked in prison.

Thereโ€™s questions to ask but right now, let the media focus on his victims: 10 year old best friends Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, and their parents and siblings who must still endure a lifetime of grief. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

๐Ÿงต This has to be the funniest Brexit moment yet.

The Brexit-loving brigade spluttering into their cornflakes as they discover The Telegraph has been sold to a German media company.

The irony is spectacular.

This isnโ€™t a hallucination, Michael Gove. Youโ€™ve never explained the millions you disbursed to buddies with your crony Covid Contracts.

Cashing in on the worst public health crisis in a century should disbar people from public life permanently.

White House: the witnessโ€™sย allegations are โ€œcompletely baselessโ€ and โ€œbacked by zero credible evidence.โ€

Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Maybe this is just me, but I kind of think massive military operations, in which we're demanding unconditional surrender as the outcome, probably should be authorized by Congress.

Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.

On the one hand, a clearly deranged lunatic in the White House starting a dangerous illegal war on Iran with already-serious repercussions for the region and world...

Or having a pop at Keir Starmer.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

Did you see this headline?

Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you?

Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his fault๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Would you like to know the reality behind the headline?

Itโ€™s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

I particularly resent rags like Daily Mail gleefully reporting Trumpโ€™s bullying of Starmer. Itโ€™s disloyal and hypocritical - theyโ€™d be screaming from rooftops if U.K. meekly followed European diktats, yet would have us unquestioningly kowtow to Trump. Starmerโ€™s task is incredibly difficult.

Netanyahu on how Israel is different from Iran: "Here's the difference ... these mass murderers in Tehran target civilians."

Netanyahu is wanted for crimes against humanity, including the murder of between 75,000 and 186,000 civilians, at least 20,000 children or babies.

Nigel Farage says Trump presidency makes world better, safer place'
Nigel Farage has insisted Donald Trump becoming president for a belated second term will help make the world a "better, safer place".
The Reform UK leader has been vocal of his friendship with Trump, and even received a shoutout from the Republican during a recent rally.
This weekend, Reform UK are having a conference in Exeter, where Mr Farage remarked: "We can say with some confidence that 'woke' just died in America.
"Trump being there makes the world a better, safer place."

BADLY WRONG about Brexit.
Itโ€™s cost the UK economy alone circa ยฃ130bn.

BADLY WRONG about Trump.
Attacked more countries of any modern President.

Farage clearly has incredibly poor judgement, yet the mainstream media, ironically, constantly question Starmerโ€™s.
