It's not the 3 hours. It's the £100.

I get the feeling that Stella Creasy would be a good Secretary of State

Look at that, I agree

But trying to blame it on someone (anyone) else shows his character. I think that's important.

That angel is flirting!

Have the BEST time!

What do you like about this one?

I had not heard of this. Thanks for posting the link

Brussels, your turn!

Perhaps that’s true: it would be a bold statement to give otherwise, and Sir Olly Robbins, the most senior officer in the Foreign Office, was forced out on Thursday night. (It has always struck me as strange that it still counts as a resignation when you’re told you’re doing it.) Even if we take that line on face value, though, it hardly puts the PM in the clear. The most plausible reason a government department would take the near unprecedented step of overruling security vetting is because it was known to be the outcome Number 10 wanted. That, given everything we know, raises questions about Starmer’s judgement. The best one can say is that they were questions that were being asked already. The more damning corollary of that latest Downing Street statement is that the Prime Minister was simply not doing yet another part of his job. It was obvious to any casual reader of Peter Mandelson’s Wikipedia page that his appointment presented significant potential risks. Given all that, the fact Starmer was nonetheless unaware he had failed his security vetting suggests either he was unaware of those risks; or that he never bothered to ask the outcome of vetting. Either explanation casts enough doubt on his competence as to make a strong case for resignation in and of itself. Next month’s local and devolved election results seem all but certain to see

I don't see what the point of him is

I hate his haircut, but if he had more hair on the sides I*might* think he's hot

I just got a ticket for the concert of The Strokes in Amsterdam. My inner 22 year old can't believe it!!

Clear and adorable

It's like a penguin on seagull legs

Even if it's a hollow promise, or if the demand never really materialises, just the hype alone helps them get approvals and financing for fossil expansion that'll linger for decades and decades.

Make sure you read the post below the photo.

Since Nuremberg in 1945, international law has established that the "wanton destruction of cities, towns or villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity" is a punishable war crime.

No serious international lawyer would deny that this is what Israel is doing in South Lebanon.

Thank you so much for the explanation! Fingers crossed the system doesn't stop Orban being kicked out

Even if they're from opposite parties? That sounds crazy!

This is interesting

I am not understanding the winner compensation. Whose votes are transferred to whom in Hungary? Where can I read more about it?

Someone put a street sign in the centre of Brussels renaming a street "Kinky & Cosy". The sign looks weatherworn, which means it wasn't immediately removed. Brussels doesn't take itself seriously and I love it.

Brussels, I love you

I wonder what it will do to people once it gets in water streams and groundwater
