Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”
Trump administration in 2025: We are building a Qatari Air Force facility in the United States.
Nearly every media outlet is announcing they will refuse to sign the Pentagon’s new rule stating they cannot report information if it’s not government “authorized.”
Even Newsmax is refusing to sign.
Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.
They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.
This points to a banter heuristic outcome where suddenly the English and Scots are forced to pay excruciatingly detailed attention to Welsh politics as Plaid Cymru becomes the UK's kingmaker
BBC now suggesting they didn't interview Zack Polanski on Laura Kuenssberg when he was elected because they weren't on air then. Which is technically true because he was elected on a Tuesday. However, they did air just days later on Sunday and featured interviews with Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch
Leaving the ECHR would allow the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, Sick Pay, Maternity Pay, Paid Holiday and working hour limits to all be abolished.
They would make hundreds of billions from this.
That is what they want.
The head of the UK's leading anti-racism campaign group Hope not Hate wrote to Keir Starmer to complain about his "silence" in the face of a rising far-right threat.
"At the time when people needed leadership there was silence.
“And for the far right, that silence just emboldened them further"
Trump brags about extracting $16 million from ABC settlement, says he wants to “test” the network out again. More explicit threats that if a private company doesn’t do his bidding, Trump will punish with lawsuits or government action.
The logical culmination of Gove’s ‘we don’t trust experts’. Now it’s ’we don’t know anything’.
For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.
This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA
Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.
Twitter is a lost cause. The owner of the app champions Tommy Robinson and overturning British democracy. Whatever progressive purpose or argument you are trying to advance is futile because you are playing against the house. The app is rigged against you. Just leave and start again.
I think Labours biggest mistake has been to not rid the BBC of Tim Davie & all the other thoroughly dangerous right-wing Tories occupying the top positions. It's become GB News light. And it's our national broadcaster. It's scary to be honest. Labour need to revisit Leveson with a matter of urgency.
‘Five Houses’ Farage has a certain ring. And he owns, or has claimed to own, all of them. Which is four more than Angela Rayner does…

… decisions over political coverage come from the top and, to go back to the original story, it’s evidently clear there is a political-cultural issue at the BBC. I’ve not wanted to believe that but now it’s beyond dispute. Our principal public-service broadcaster is overtly right-wing. Simple.
… truly wild that political journalists justify the coverage Farage and Reform in general get by pointing to the opinion polls, that they see themselves as reacting to his/their popularity rather than stoking it. They’re either dumb or disingenuous and we all know, on the whole, it’s the latter.
Political journalists, right across the board, are treating Farage like a celebrity when they should be treating him like a menace, because that’s exactly what he is. And the more coverage he gets the more his menacing influence grows. So stop it - all of you.
Financial Times headline: Pirated football streams amount to ‘industrial scale theft’, report finds.
This article misses the other side of this, which is that the total price of all the TV channels you need to subscribe to to watch football now feels like it amounts to the same!
There’s a really easy fix. Let people watch all games including 3pm kick-offs. Let them do so for a reasonable price.
We all know that if the 3pm broadcasts become viewable they’ll charge £150 a month.
Peacock shows *most* matches for the equivalent of £20 a year. It’s bullshit.
Well, this is frankly tremendous from @theanfieldwrap.bsky.social crew.
Reminder - The 42 Labour MPs who oppose the disability cuts represent just 10% of all Labour MPs.
Think about that.
Think this is outstanding.
How about the random stuff that took you by surprise over there that's different from the UK. From my time there stuff like kebabs being a roll and marketed as healthy or them putting beetroot in burgers and sandwiches whenever possible. Or how you are finding the 24hr drinking.
Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic
Like the Laffer Curve, the idea that adding VAT to private school fees would price out the people who want to pay to make sure their kids don’t get educated with povvos turns out to be bullshit. In a sensible world this news would lead to absolutely rinsing the top 0.1% of earners for 75% income tax
A message from Spain's left-wing government to the UK: take heart from our success on workers' rights. Raising living standards is the key to combating the far right.
"If you fall into the dialogue of the far right, the far right wins."

NHS strikes deal with Musk’s Starlink The Daily Telegraph10 Mar 2025By James Warrington ELON MUSK’S satellite technology is set to be deployed to help keep GPS in rural parts of England connected to the internet. The NHS has awarded a contract worth £85,000 to Starlink, which is part of Mr Musk’s Spacex, to help provide internet services to GP practices and administrative offices in the North East and North Cumbria. The five-year contract with NHS North of England covers the hardware and installation of 15 Starlink receivers, forming part of a wider programme to upgrade its network connections. Satellite technology is increasingly being used to tackle so-called “not spots” in remote rural areas, where it is not economically viable to provide mobile and broadband services to small pockets of the population. Starlink is one of a number of companies vying to plug these gaps. Bt-owned EE and Virgin Media O2 are already trialling the technology, while Vodafone last week launched a new joint venture with Texas-based AST Spacemobile to roll out satellite connectivity across the UK. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos is gearing up for the launch of a rival service – Project Kuiper – in Britain as soon as this year.

This country is so fucked.
I have talked in the past about how you 'referee a game away from a team'. It isn't through big decisions but just in getting little ones consistently wrong in one direction to control which team has the upper hand.
Here is data that would show how it looks if that consistently happens to a team
NEW: Sony has finally responded--aggressively--to the December lawsuit filed by a Bungie veteran who said he was fired so they could get out of paying him $45 million
They deny claims of a "sham" investigation and share texts between him and female employees
