I don’t get why he doesn’t just admit he was appointed because of the Epstein/Trump link.

I checked this too.

*20 seconds* of Reform logo display.

*No other* party logo displayed.

In local election purdah.

This is not normal. At all.

Good move!

In a nutshell. 😊

It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.

South Africa was banned from the Olympics from 1964 to 1988 because it was an apartheid state.

The ICJ declared Israel to be an apartheid state, so when does its ban start?

To understand why the USA is where it is today, all you need to do is see that Trump cannot tolerate even the mildest, insightful criticism from the Pope, but Trump will allow Putin to humiliate him deeply and constantly, while still craving Putin’s approval.

Before Margaret Thatcher the UK had much cheaper rail, much cheaper mail, some of the cheapest Energy and Fossil Fuel in Europe and the cheapest water in Europe.

Because we owned it.

Concern grows for Suella Braverman as she completely forgets she spent nine years as part of the Conservative government, including two periods as Home Secretary, responsible for immigration.

We should be learning from other countries...

Definitely seeing far fewer babies with bad bronchiolitis.

Pregnancy vaccine reduces baby hospital admissions for RSV by 80% A study confirms the vaccine gives excellent protection for babies against life-threatening chest infections.

As it's the weekend, let's take a moment to enjoy and celebrate what for the entire country is an unalloyed good-news story!

On any given day, you might as well roll a die to predict whether Donald Trump is going to claim total victory; imminent victory; a negotiated ceasefire; an imminent ceasefire; new attacks; crucial negotiations or imminent crucial negotiations. The only certainty is that he’ll be lying.

Next chief Simon Wolfson paid record £7.4m – and could get far more this year ‘Sustained outperformance’ merits pay rise, says company after it ups profit guidance to £1.2bn for year to January 2027

Next CEO pay rose from £4.9m to £7.4m, could hit £9.27m this year.

Company changed CEO pay formula because it didn't give directors enough.

Non-exec directors to get higher pay.

Most shop workers toil on/around minimum wage.

Govts preach pay restraint to workers but no curbs on fat-cattery.

Trump warns US-UK trade deal ‘can always be changed’ with relations in ‘sad state’ President says he gave Britain ‘better deal than I had to’ but ally was ‘not there when we needed them’ on Iran

Trump threatens to end US-UK trade deal because UK won't join his illegal Iran war.

There is no special relationship. It is subservience to the US.

Don't make agreements with Trump. He doesn't honour them.

The King's visit should be cancelled.

UK must rejoin the EU, build alliances with others.

It’s not just selfish -it’s a complete breach of the Budapest Memorandum in 1994 when the US and others encouraged Ukraine to give up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for these countries guaranteeing Ukraine’s borders.

The US is duty-bound to assist in Ukraine’s defence or its promises mean nothing.

Also this.

Claims and ideas which happen to favour the ruling class don't dominate public life by accident. They're paid for by oligarchs and corporations then promoted by media outlets other oligarchs and corporations own. Once they've been drummed into our ears enough, they're internalised as "common sense".

When Labour next tell you there is no money left and that's why they can't help people to heat their homes, show them this.

And UKIP before that.

US doctors defend Trump, “This is how we all dress now” Donald Trump has been defended by the US medical industry, with thousands of doctors insisting they all dress now like a deity who dispenses medicine like it’s all a magic trick.

The world watched as Israel razed Gaza to the ground.

Now, the world is watching as Israel razes Lebanon to the ground.

War crimes beget war crimes — and the failure to bring Israel to justice for genocide has emboldened it to destroy human life with total impunity.

David Lammy. Great to catch up with my friend JD Vance today in DC following his talks in Pakistan. It's vital that the cewsedire continues and we get shipping flowing freely again through the Straits of Hormuz. We continue to work together towards a just and lasting piece in Ukraine.

"My friend."

This is how our government greets those accused of war crimes.

This is not diplomacy. It's debasement.

visits the pope → pope dies
leads Iran negotiations → talks collapse
flies to Hungary to prop up Orbán → Orbán loses in a landslide
Man’s got a streak.

Your Party's entire Scottish interim executive has resigned en masse, declaring it "over" and saying they will start a new party instead.

Says Your Party is not a "serious attempt to unite the left" and "cannot recover."

Nothing to see here..

So happy for the people of Hungary ☺️

Traffic is slow in towns and cities to protect everyone, and speed limits save lives. I would love to not drive and get the bus personally as I hate driving, especially at night on busy roads. Unfortunately the hourly bus does not get me to work and back so driving is essential.

Question for you…

700+ killed by Israel in Gaza during “ceasefire”

250+ killed by Israel in Lebanon during “ceasefire”

Would any other country enjoy the “ceasefire” label while massacring this many people?

…we all know the answer by now.
