"This is an important thing to think about."

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

100% this. I posted a while back about a school street for my (at the time) daughter's school that was effectively abandoned due to having to be parent policed and the scale of the abuse

The eyewatering hypocrisy writes itself.

NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC.

Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.

I think this is the most likely explanation for what unfolded after the fact. #DonaldJChrist

KERNEN: We'd never be able to send anyone back if you needed a judicial warrant every single time

RAND PAUL: Well, I don't think that's true. Obeying the 4th Amendment of the Constitution shouldn't be too difficult. It's something we fought the revolution over.

BBC NEWS Shropshire Council Issuing statement on council website: "We will be removing all unauthorised flags from our street lighting columns and other highway assets. This will be in Shrewsbury initially with plans to remove all unauthorised flags across the county in time. Where appropriate and legally possible, we will seek to recover the cost of removal from the individuals responsible for installing the flags."

Every council should follow suit.

was that Melania speech one of Iran’s demands

Just so we’re all on the same page, at no point in her speech about Epstein did Melania say “my husband and I were never involved”, just “I was never involved.”

That was… not on accident

The idiot's intellectual is a great description. Similar to Jacob Rees Mogg as what an idiot's idea of an educated person is

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

This has my sort of niche retirement goals written all over it 😂

This is appalling. How on earth can the trip planned by King Charles possibly go ahead after this?

Dear Congress,

You've seen the disgusting acts in the unredacted Epstein files, you've seen who is responsible, you say the unredacted version would bring people to their knees, so what the hell are you going to do about it?

Tenn. library director fired over refusal to move LGBTQ+ books to adult section A county board near Nashville voted to dismiss Luanne James, who said she stands by her decision, in the latest clash in a national debate over access to books.
