I’m embarrassed that I ever voted for this man.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

We were talking about this at work earlier this week. 4 of us, all said that we’ve been struggling to sleep.

Constantine on the eve of battle in 312 - as a sign appears in the sky. His biographer said that Jesus visited Constantine in a dream that night, telling him to carry a cross into battle to ensure victory and further his imperial ambitions.
And still it goes on…

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

Almost nobody in the media reported on the former Tory Government's sweeping power grab of the electoral commission. This week Labour have announced that they will reverse what Boris Johnson did and return the commission to independence.

Ofcourse Labour will get absolutely no credit for doing this

WAR CRIME BY THE US.

An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.

The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.

THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.

This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβ€”and 9000
miles from North Americaβ€”makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

02104-25 Fraser v Telegraph.co.uk - IPSO Ian Fraser complained to the Independent Press Standards Organisation that Telegraph.co.uk breached Clause 1 (Accuracy) of the Editors’ Code of Practice in an article headlined β€œWe earn Β£345k, but soa...

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: β€˜We earn Β£345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

Keir Starmer, "President Trump has expressed his disagreement with our decision not to get involved in the initial strikes"

"But it is my duty to judge what is in Britain's national interest"

"That is what I've done and I stand by it"

So much will be said about all this in the coming days, but IMO the biggest takeaway is that James Watt and Martin Dickie each pocketed more than the price BrewDog was eventually sold for, while 500 hardworking staff are now out of a job & 220k equity punks don't get a dime.

Absolute charlatans.

There's more information in this one post than in most news programmes on the situation.

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.

Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

You know what? Let’s not fact check the idiots who think Ayatollah Khameini, the Iranian supreme leader killed today, was the same guy as Ayatollah Khomeini, who led the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Let them believe he was 124 years old. In fact, persuade them he was kept alive as a head in a jar.

This is racism, pure and simple. It’s also a test. The UK press needs to describe it for exactly what it is: that Reform’s candidate made a racist and inflammatory losing statement

If Nigel Farage is angry about voter fraud, wait until he hears about the millions of pounds Arron Banks paid Cambridge Analytica to influence the Leave EU campaign, fronted by *checks notes*

Nigel Farage…

In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law

The most hilarious thing about today is Reform blaming their loss on Islamists…

…who famously always vote in their masses for women and gay Jewish men.

What is happening about Johnson Farage and Rees Mogg working with Bannon and Epstein to bring down May?

I expect to be told. And quickly.

Look.

People get divorced for all manner of reasons, and it's nobody else's business.

However.

When a politician is using the slogan:

Family. Community. Country.

It's perfectly reasonable to point out that they are recently divorced and live in the SE of England miles from Gorton and Denton.

Political people love to debate who the worst modern PM in modern times was but it's unquestionably Cameron.

10 years ago this week he gambled the prosperity and fragile unity of the UK on a referendum on an issue that most people didn't even understand to placate back benchers and fucked us all.

Donald Trump is placing a 10% Global Tariff on all goods to the USA, which will be paid by American citizens.

I remind them, you literally had a Revolution because you didn't want to pay a tax on tea.

This is Trevor Fisher, speaking to @channel4news.bsky.social from Arthur Rank Hospice in Cambridgeshire this week.

As a palliative care specialist, Trevor’s interview has devastated me.

His hospice has just been told Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust is withdrawing £800k of funding. 🧡

Wes Streeting, Health Secretary: "Farage has announced his Shadow Cabinet, with no Health Secretary.

Presumably because if he becomes Prime Minister, there’ll be no NHS."

The patent for Insulin was sold for $1 by its inventor so it could be provided almost for free.

Insulin costs $2 to make in the USA.

The average price of insulin in the USA is now $1500 a month.
