His mind has been gone for quite some time. He's been protected by a load of cronies ... But what is their red line? Surely there must be one? What does he have to say or do for them invoke the 25th?

Interesting that on all his signed bills and whatever, his signature looks absolutely nothing like this one... #releasetheepsteinfiles

The dark side of the balloon boom – is it time they were banned? From balloon arches at parties to mass balloon releases at funerals, these bits of floating rubber and plastic can have disastrous effects on wildlife. As some retailers are refusing to sell them, here are some alternatives

I wonder when we'll be ready to talk about how schools are now full of gameified dopamine slot machine apps for learning times tables, science, even reading itself, that are priming an entire generation for gambling and gaming addiction.

Tax avoided by Ratcliffe - estimated to be more than £$ billion...

and so interested in UK the he doesn't pay tax - thought to be more than £4billion 'saved' by him changing his tax residence to Monaco.

Apparently, gorse (or whin, as we call it in Ireland) blooms every month of the year, except those in which kissing is not permitted!! 😅

Is there a source for this please?

Saturday's Mic Drop

No words

Actually, it is. This is exactly what Trump himself does. We all need to be better than that, and anyway, there is no embellishment or graphic needed for the message. He tells lies, he bullies, and he abuses power in any way he can. Those truths stand on their own.

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

It is interesting that Jeremy Corbyn has been an MP for 42 years and led the opposition for 5 years.

He's been on Question Time once.

Nigel Farage, 44 times.

Our Media is corrupt, corrupt to the core.

Anyone noticed how UK media is a lot less obsessed with Farage’s alleged antisemitism than Corbyn’s alleged antisemitism?

Odd that.

Former Dulwich pupil says Farage told him: ‘That’s the way back to Africa’ Exclusive: Yinka Bankole says he felt compelled to speak out after Reform leader’s attempts to ‘dismiss’ hurt of alleged targets

"'Where are you from?’ he asked. Within seconds of offering my rather confused and sputtering answers, he had a clear response: ‘That’s the way back to Africa,’ with an accompanying hand gesture pointing towards a place far away."

So I’ve had a very brief search of the Epstein database in the last half hour.

Noticed Epstein was paying for Google search result poisoning and attending hacker conferences

Trump is attacking the U.S.’s closest ally and trade partner, Canada, with illegal tariffs that are badly hurting Canadian businesses & U.S. citizens alike. Canada has been respectful & diplomatic (which Trump doesn’t deserve) but his attacks have only gotten worse.

And he’s mad about COMMERCIALS?

Anyone else would be sectioned for this sort of behaviour.

BBC Radio4 prog "More or Less" did a great analysis of this, this morning. Worth getting on catch-up, if you missed it.

Someone has done a speedy, but not very grammatically correct, revision! news.sky.com/story/woman-...

And do non-immigrants all volunteer? Dreadful requirement.
