If you think a party full of Corbynite cranks led by a crackpot is the answer, then give your head a little wobble.

All of them from what I can see.

The President and his Administration have already failed twice in court trying to intimidate me, and he's still not letting up. Just more proof that he'll do anything it takes to silence those of us willing to call him out. I'm not backing down — ever.

ZELENSKYY to Rheinmetall CEO Papperger:

Drones have replaced your German tanks — our Ukrainian drones. And we're already producing our Ukrainian drones together with Germany, but with different German company. Sorry.

America is being run by a death cult.

As someone who lived for several years in Italy when Berlusconi was prime minister, the low stakes of UK corruption scandals will never not be funny

He really is using Truth Social as a place of self-affirmation as his polls slip and reality starts to really injure his narcissism.

The Guardian is going to be furious

Falling school rolls must be the major issue of the next 5-10 years which has least media attention.

Okay now I’m mad about men in women’s sports
