King Donald the Mad is imploring companies not to claim refunds for the tariffs which would be passed on to consumers, because it will remove funds from the economy.

But he’s also suing the IRS for $10 billion.

Perhaps America is more broke than we thought.

Farage urged to act against candidates with racist, misogynistic and homophobic views Exclusive: Despite the pledge to employ the best vetting system in British politics, some Reform UK candidates have been condemned for their ‘grotesque views’ posted online

The true face of Reform, is not Farage, the clubbable braying donkey - it’s the homophobes, racists and misogynists standing as its candidates in the coming local elections.

It’s incredible how many of our global issues have been caused by three white men in their 70s clinging to power to avoid prison.

If you cheered when Texas Republicans redistricted without asking voters, you don’t get to complain when Virginia voters actually approved it.

Britain turns back to Europe – and this time, it might stick | Heinrich Böll Stiftung | Brussels office - European Union Trump has turned against the UK and Keir Starmer is looking to Europe for allies. Brexit has flatlined the economy, the White House has shown its contempt, and British public opinion has quietly shift...

Despised by Trump, not quite trusted by its European neighbours: Britain is in a hard place.

My look at how, exactly, the UK could move closer to the EU. With thoughts from @lscazzieri.bsky.social and @davidheniguk.bsky.social

Republicans in the states are redistricting early at the behest of Donald Trump.

The response by Dems in Virginia, California, and elsewhere to counter-balance is being triggered only by a blatant plot to steal the midterms.

This isn’t a race to the bottom.

It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

Not bothered by people who want Starmer to go. I agree. My reasons are selfishly practical - he lacks the vision and charisma to lead the UK through impossibly challenging times. What bothers me is when people cosplay moral outrage to not just oust, but destroy him, because it gives them a thrill.

BBC have completely lost the plot. Leading with an obvious hatchet job isn’t a good look. They’ve overdone it to the point where it’s a joke seeing any of their coverage.

Sky are leading with Iran. You would think that is more important than made up outrage.

Ed Miliband has said he'll “double down, not back down” on government’s clean energy mission in the face of critics calling on him to change course

The Energy Sec said "solar panels, heat pumps and EVs are not woke, or a left-wing conspiracy, or even a Marxist plot. They're actually common sense"

Remember what they did to Biden and what we ended up with. Trump is 100 times, no, thousands of times worse, and America is paying the price. You guys don't need Farage, another Russian stooge. Don't make our mistake!

Reform would review all asylum claims from the last five years The current Labour government has already announced major crackdowns on immigration, including disrupting gangs.

Reform UK pledges review of asylum claims for the last 5 years if it wins the next general election.

400,000, including those legally settled could be deported.

Will people be plucked in streets, sent to concentration camps?

Farage inflicted Brexit, now importing Trump racism and terror.

The golden age of vaccine development - Works in Progress Magazine The first vaccine was a lucky accident. Now we can design new vaccines in weeks, atom by atom.

NEW article by me!

We can now visualize pathogens down to atoms; design vaccines in weeks; manufacture them in microbial factories; engineer them more precise than ever before.

We're living through a golden age of vaccine development, but only if we continue to invest in them.

Good. It’s easy to forget that climate change denial & shilling for fossil fuel companies provided a template for Tufton Street, Brexit & pretty much every egregious example of persuading populations to vote against their own interests. The story of Don Pearlman should be taught in kindergartens…

You can call it a hoax. You can call it a staged event. But mostly you can call it the workings of a sick, demented man.

Reform’s Richard Tice posts picture with telltale signs of AI manipulation, say experts Deputy leader’s image on X was almost certainly generated or altered using AI, according to Peryton Intelligence

"Zack Polanski, leader of the Green party, said: “There’s nothing real about the Reform party. Their supposed policies to tackle cost of living are fake, they spin stories that are fake and now we know even their campaigners are fake.”

British politics are in a depressing state and anybody who feels gleeful about recent events, perhaps because they enjoy the excitement of seeing the world burn, or because they dislike one of the people involved, is a short-sighted moron.

Screenshot of a Substack note by account 'JoJoFromJerz' that says: 'In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.'

Andrew Lewin, MP for Welwyn Hatfield:

"There is overwhelming and consistent public support that's around 65 to 70%, because the British people recognise that our EU allies are important. They want to see young people have opportunities that have been taken away from those in the UK since Brexit".

Boris Johnson failed vetting, yet Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary.

Dominic Cummings was never vetted, yet had free access to Government and Number 10.

The vetting process is self evidently farcical.
