In three months, Zohran Mamdani has:
-Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by fast food and delivery companies
-Cracked down on bad landlords
-Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program
-Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets
This is what leadership looks like.
This is what Badenoch, Farage, the Murdoch press, and Paul Marshall's stable of GB News weirdos want us to get behind, and you know what I'm good, thanks...
was nine years old when a Labour government followed the US into an illegal war in Iraq, sold to the public on lies. Twenty-three years later, we're back on the streets opposing another Labour government and another illegal war - this time against Iran.
We have suffered our worst national humiliation since the Suez debacle, if not the fall of Singapore. This time, though, we lack the excuse of having been pressured by alies or attacked by foes. The decision to cower and plead neutrality even as Iranian proxies were lobbing ordnance at us was entirely our own. Sir Keir Starmer's pusillanimity has left us looking weak, needy and duplicitous. And all for what? Anxiety about anti-lsrael voters in constituencies like Gorton and Denton? Fear of crossing our human-rights obsessed Attorney General, Lord Hermer? Paywall down.
In a desperate attempt to make Trump and Netanyahu's war all about the UK government, you simultaneously have the Your Party tendency sowing a narrative that we're already fighting on America's side... and the Ladybird Libertarians calling it the greatest humiliation since the Fall of Singapore.
Virginia’s Democratic controlled legislature has officially passed legislation prohibiting schools in the state from teaching lies about the January 6 insurrection.
Love this, all blue states should follow their lead and do the same.
A huge over-simplification of an extremely complex situation. V easy to do if you're nowhere near being in government.
Spain has got the security of being part of the EU. We don't.
"We believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place."
Britain continues its rapid descent towards fascism.
That dinner menu in full as President Trump entertains Mr Farage at Mar-a-Lago:
Porn Cocktail.
Jizz Pancakes with salted Clacton Cream.
Small sausages & wrinkled chestnuts in a dry rub.
Burnt Chicken Kyiv.
Spotted Dick with a 30p Lee Syrup.
Coffee, Liqueurs & Nappies.

This isn’t a hallucination, Michael Gove. You’ve never explained the millions you disbursed to buddies with your crony Covid Contracts.
Cashing in on the worst public health crisis in a century should disbar people from public life permanently.

In Congressional hearing, Pam Bondi told members of Congress that they should not question Trump about his Epstein ties because the DOW was above 50,000.
It is far below that now. So, will she now agree to answer honest, pertinent questions about Trump's involvement in a child sex trafficking ring?
Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I don’t know how this could happen.
We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
Given the unanimous reporting of our media wanting us to join an illegal war the citizens of this country are not buying it.
Have the media barons pushed the public too far? I do hope so. I think their anti Starmer rhetoric has worn very thin.
The Justice Department released FBI interviews with a woman who accused Donald Trump of beating her after he sexually assaulted her when she was a child. trib.al/FRCmhds
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
Thank you ever so much Ellie. I'll pass the information on.
Do you mind me asking whereabouts your endo clinic is? My daughter has it and the care seems v patchy on the Wirral.
Thank you for sharing this x
I remember when ‘Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the ‘war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.
Zelensky has done everything he possibly can to satisfy this admin while he fights a war of survival for his people. And the Trump admin has done nothing but repeatedly treat him with disrespect, scorn & ridicule. 2 days ago, Trump called him “PT Barnum.” This is how Z responds.
And still, so-called patriots queue up to condemn their own Prime Minister for refusing to join in with all this…
WAR CRIME BY THE US.
An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.
The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.
THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.
This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.
In the theatre, you should always leave them wanting more.
Unless it's an operating theatre.
And you're the anaesthetist.

This is fantastic. I just wish they had courage before they announced retirement
