They don’t actually want him to go before the elections in case Labour get a bounce. They just want want it to seem like he might have to at literally any second so that the uncertainty and scandal stains every ballot paper.

I still think the best example of optimism I ever saw was the time I went into the gents toilet of a real ale pub in a small village and it had a condom machine on the wall.

Statement of A. S. Franklin, president of the International Merchant Marine Company (''The Manchester Guardian'', 16 April 1912, p. 9) that the RMS Titanic is "unsinkable"

Statement of A. S. Franklin, president of the International Merchant Marine Company (''The Manchester Guardian'', 16 April 1912, p. 9) that the RMS Titanic is "unsinkable"

114 years ago, on the 15th of April 1912, the RMS Titanic hit an iceberg and sank. Early on the 15th, news of the collision but not of the sinking had reached the U.S., resulting in sources like the one below still calling the vessel 'unsinkable' after the fact. #otd #history 🗃️

“Get back in your box Scotland, it doesn’t matter what you want, we’ll ignore you”. And they wonder why so many Scots want away from this arrogant Westminster attitude. It seems the Smith Commission opinion doesn’t matter either.

Marathon talks? Compared to what? It took years for Obama to deliver a detailed Iran deal. The Trump admin are packing it in after 20 hours.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.

I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Why isn’t there any recorded drawing of the free energy bill prize, you might ask?
Because it was rigged — is the answer.
What are the police and mainstream journalists doing about it, you might ask again?
Jack shit — is the answer.

Zack Polanski calls for UK to withdraw trade agreement with Israel after strikes on Lebanon

Zack Polanski calls for UK to withdraw trade agreement with Israel after strikes on Lebanon

Israel is a rogue state and our government should treat it as such.

Our Government should have suspended diplomatic and trade relations long ago but if not now, when?

The last 24 hours have shown what many have said for a long time.

Britain's role as an accomplice to Trump's America must end.

We must urgently decouple from a rogue US & seek security with allies closer to home. That starts with suspension of the US bombers on British soil.

Dr James Le Fanu was happy with £7500 in his day!

His day as a Junior Doctor 1974 - the following year Junior Doctors were in industrial action with Government

£7500 would be £72k now if kept with CPI inflation - no wonder he was happy

Maybe he should get back on his sofa

Israel has passed the death penalty solely for Palestinians, enforced through military courts with a 96% conviction rate.

Israeli Minister Ben Gvir popped champagne.

The Israeli government is raising a toast to genocidal apartheid. The UK government is arming and funding it.
