A giant Gannet is running in the Scottish elections!

BBC News leading all its bulletins on demands by former Government advisor Lord Robertson for more defence spending, without at any point mentioning his current paid senior role for US defence lobbyists

This is apparently Reform's idea of heaven. Along with the rickets, tb and polio.

Public information broadcast: These weirdos are multiplying. Remember, do not let them come in contact with water, never let them eat after midnight, and above all, never vote for them. You have been warned.

Mahmood’s migration changes will deliver fraction of claimed savings, data suggests Exclusive: Analysis of government figures indicates public finances will gain £600m not £10bn if migrants’ access to benefits is reduced

The savings weren't the point. The performative cruelty was the point, and who can put a price on that? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Too much? 😈

In 2025 Trump and the USA refused to participate in the G20 summit. In 2026, the summit will be at his golf course and he has proposed an entirely regressive agenda. The only sensible course is for the other 19 to give his grift a swerve and hold a simultaneous meeting in Canada

The treatment of military aggression like reality TV. Urging people to delight in death and terror.

I feel much more anger towards the British pundits & politicians who failed to understand the depravity & derangement of Donald Trump than I do the ones who failed to understand the idiocy of Brexit. But it doesn’t really matter because they’re exactly the same bloody people.

It doesn't cost any more to get oil and gas out of the ground than it did a month ago. Every single penny extra that you're paying is just pure profit for someone. Ain't capitalism great?

POLITICS NEWS Trump casts a mail ballot again in Florida even as he calls the method 'cheating' The president cast a mail ballot in an upcoming Florida special election, according to county records.

"Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating. I call it mail-in cheating, and we got to do something about it all," Trump said on Monday.

A day earlier, his own mail-in ballot for an upcoming election was received in Palm Beach county.

It's hell here in the no-go zone under Sharia law. All you USians better stay away.

Reform’s patriots don’t want to pay for their country The party's deputy leader imagines a Britain in which everyone expects to benefit from the system, but no one feels much obligation to sustain it.

“As Tice surely knows, the law sets the floor of our obligations, not the ceiling. A society cannot function on the basis that everyone does the bare minimum they can get away with”

Very good on the mean but intensely - selfishly - greedy politics of Reform.

GB News Scandal: The dossier Twenty journalists analysed 15 hours of television – none of which complied with Ofcom’s regulations. These are their findings

This is excellent.

Absolutely scandalous that GB News essentially has a licence to spread misinformation like this without OFCOM stepping in.

Hundreds of thousands of NHS staff in England attacked and harassed, survey shows Health service’s 2025 staff survey found that one in seven had experienced violence from patients or the public

It turns out that running services into the ground and constantly demonising staff does get push back. Thanks Wes.

I particularly love the German response: "...I would also like to remind you that the US did not consult us before the war, and that Washington explicitly stated at the start of the war that European assistance was neither necessary nor desired.”

Trump told EU that US would never help Europe under attack - EU official Donald Trump told top European officials while he was U.S. president that the United States would never help Europe if it came under attack, according to a high-level EU official.

Europeans should remember this about Trump: he wouldn’t lift a finger for Europe.

"I meant for this to happen", says Florida man as he repeatedly steps on rakes

"I saw this coming", he continues, as he makes a beeline directly for the next rake

"This was always the plan", he finishes as he places another rake directly in his own path

What an excellent suggestion.

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened.

And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction.

Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

What an incredible game of rugby #sixnations

I know it won't make any difference to his voters, who pay no attention to what's actually going on, and think foresight is for pussies and consequences can be wished away.

But if Farage was PM, we'd now be in a moronic, illegal war he demanded we join 2 days ago, and now thinks is a disaster.

She paid a lot for the correspondance course run by Patel&Braverman, but got her money’s worth

Sen Chris Coons, "President Trump gives answers out of both side of his mouth in the same day"

"Clearest winner in war with Iran is Russia"

Brilliant explanation. Watch it.
