“There are two ways of calculating percentages”! No, there aren’t. These people just make things up.

I am so sorry. I didn’t know he was ill.

Doesn’t the US have laws of Slander or Libel?

So the process of “appointing subject to vetting” would have been unacceptably damaging to then have said “not appointed”?

The damage caused by publicly announcing “appointed as ambassador subject to vetting” followed later by “not appointed”?

Practically, how will you achieve that? Impractical to block signal, impossible to police. Strip search daily?

Why did Starmer appoint Mandelson before the vetting process was complete?

Surely the visuals aren’t Austen’s, but someone else’s interpretation of her words? The words are hers.

We deride US schools having “active shooter drills”. Yet similar is happening here in the UK 😡

Yes! I saw that after your post! You should have posted faster🤪

@monkemma.bsky.social can have the evening off! Thanks @nateo.bsky.social

Look, it’s only small beer. Can’t a chap even have a biscuit?

These days I’d believe almost anything from the US, even on the level of “Freddie Starr ate my hamster”!

Rachel Reeves, Chris Mcdonald, Ed Miliband, Keir Starmer. All wearing fluorescent jackets.

Great how your phone gives you memories.

It's two years to the day since Rachel Reeves told me if Labour won the general election they would send the National Audit Office in to investigate the Teesworks saga.

The authority responsible hasn't published audited accounts since then, yet nothing.

Cases like this shouldn’t need someone like @monkemma.bsky.social working through them to debunk factually-inaccurate reporting
Decent journalists should do their due diligence FIRST

Judge not dancing to Trump’s tune

How petty

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology.

This is a serious escalation.

Makes you wonder how all. These “Titans of Business” managed!

Hopefully he’ll be restrained when Charles visits

Will these translate to measurable KPIs?

Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus?

That was this week.

Healing the Sick?

Has Trump surfaced yet to offer his congratulations?

But you’re not winning!

My blockade is BIGGER than your blockade 😤

Sorry for you Russ

11/ Even if Iran is no longer threatening to fire at passing ships, the Strait will have become a much more dangerous passage. /end

There’s so much wrong with this, it’s as if the authors don’t know what they’re talking about

So the bill that results isn’t always the bill that starts.
