Fiat could bring its funky new three-wheeled electric micro-truck to the UK as an ultra-compact last-mile delivery vehicle.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

Whenever someone’s like “did you hear Tesla is growing market share” I always ask, ‘why do you trust their numbers?’

In 2002 a 17 year old from Londrina, Brazil boarded Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet in Paris and was trafficked to New York. Around 30 girls were on that flight. Ghislaine Maxwell prowled the cabin. Some girls sat on Epstein’s lap. The teenager was Amanda Ungaro.

Not off to a great start

Miliband was announcing plans to "delink" the price of electricity from gas – a policy with the potential to cut bills far more than new drilling in the North Sea

Yet Robinson didn't ask a single question about the former and devoted most of the interview to the latter, citing the need to cut bills

Rule change will help drivers without driveways charge EVs Motorists will be able to have a “gully” to run an electric cable as a permitted development, which can cost £1,000 under current rules

Lots of good green announcements from Miliband's department at the moment.

"Motorists will be able to have a “gully” to run an electric cable [for EVs] as a permitted development, which can cost £1,000 under current rules."

UK shifts older wind and solar farms to fixed-price deals to reduce price shocks Move marks government’s most radical attempt to weaken impact of soaring wholesale gas prices on electricity costs

Not Farage oil

'renewable energy projects that earn subsidies on top of the market price will be asked to sign up to contracts that pay a set price for electricity as part of the government’s plan to “delink the price of electricity from the price of gas”.'

This is literally the best news I've heard this year. The world is a little bit better now, or at least not quite as sucky.

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

Anti-Islam influencer Valentina Gomez blocked from entering UK for far-right rally Exclusive: Home secretary understood to have withdrawn authorisation for speaker at Unite the Kingdom rally in May

To the the blindingly obvious, what kind of weird self hating nonsense is it for somebody named Gomez,born in Columbia no less, to become a full fledged MAGA useful idiot? I mean yes the money, but still, selling your soul never ends well

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.

when there's an enormous backlog of asylum claims, re-litigating all the previous 5 years seems like a really stupid way of slowing things down further.

Quite apart from fact that most 'illegal' arrivals are from most repressive countries and have zero 'legal' routes!

The post reads: “This is what I told Reuters today: The UAE no longer needs America to defend it, as it has proven during the Iranian aggression that it is capable of defending itself with distinction. What the UAE needs is to acquire only the best and latest weapons that America has. Therefore, it is time to think about closing the American bases, as they are a burden and not a strategic asset.” The post is labeled “Translated from Arabic by Grok” and shows a timestamp of 10:21 AM · 4/19/26 with 139K views.

NEW: UAE scholar Abdulkhaleq Abdulla says the UAE no longer needs U.S. protection, calling American bases a “burden, not a strategic asset” and suggesting they should be closed. The United States’ standing in the region has been obliterated.

Peter Thiel's Palantir presents its blue print for a totalitarian surveillance state dominated by Peter Thiel and a handful of his chosen bros. Any country looking at a contract with Thiel needs to study this document very carefully to know what it's dealing with. techrepublicbook.com

Opening text of a thread by Palantir from X Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.

WFH is one of our greatest tools in fighting pollution and reducing VMTs!

“A total of 21,771,526 vehicle miles were avoided, resulting in a 26% reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) compared to employees working in-office full time.”

Every municipality should be expanding it regardless of 🌎 🛢️

More than 40% of ships globally transport fossil fuels. Nearly all of them run on fossil fuels too.

The Press knew. They laughed.

The Tories knew. They didn’t care.

All I see now is hypocrisy.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform
