Is President D J Trump more likely to be awarded: A. The Nobel Peace Prize. B. Hero of the Russian Federation.

🇬🇧✈️🤩😮At 97 years old, British Betty Bromage broke her own Guinness World Record again as the oldest woman to practice wing walking. Additionally, she raised funds for the hospital that cared for her after suffering a stroke.

Horrible news 😞— Once is a gorgeous movie with the most sublime soundtrack

Trump: "Spain is a wasted cause. We don't want to do any trade business with Spain anymore, by the way. I'd like to cut it off. Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. Cut off all trade with Spain, please. Including visits. We don't want anything to do. They're hopeless. Bad people."

Spain is a team of 11 midfielders, and Argentina is a team of 10 bastards and a genius — and it doesn’t make for great telly

Apparently if there are fewer than 5 goals tomorrow then England wins the whole thing

One good thing about being on the receiving end of this nonsense is it makes it very easy to immediately identify people who are full of shit and think they're smarter than they really are.

Jarell Quansah has his red card ban extended to two matches. FIFA will consider an appeal, if the England defender can prove he’s either American or Argentinian or a brown envelope stuffed with cash

This is Harley. She's never rolled down a hill before, but she's super proud of her first attempt. 13/10 nailed it (TT: jesskoselke)

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”

It‘s a wonderful book and I hope to God everyone in a position of power in this country reads it.

Worth noting that Donald Trump just announced the end of NATO and the Special Relationship in one tweet.

This should never, under any circumstances, ever, be considered ‘normal’.

For Jim Moir/Vic Reeves' birthday, a reminder it's thirty years this year since this advert.

457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan. Trump avoided military service 5 times. How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.

For a bit of mischief maybe the Scottish Government could propose the compulsory purchase Trumps Scottish golf courses and repurpose them as wind farms. Im sure he wouldn't mind if they believed it was critical for national security

And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is now talking about Greenland, instead of talking about ending the war in Ukraine.

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

In October, Russia chairs the UN Security Council. What an absurd world we live in - a country defined by EU and NATO as the most significant threat heads the Security Council of (supposedly) the most influential organisation

Great news for people who consider themselves Real Men

About time consequences were faced for the PPE scandal… But why only Michelle Mone? £15b worth of contracts were flagged with a corruption risk So where’s the rest of them? And what about the Tory ministers who greenlit that institutionally corrupt VIP lane?

Look at that view of hundreds of Dinosaur foot prints. Once a Jurassic sandy beach, plate tectonics + millions of years later is now in the high desert of Utah! So surreal!

Whenever you think you are having a bad day, spare a thought for Col Ponsonby.

This is the last thing the BBC needs

I decided to become a journalist aged fifteen after reading ‘1984’ and being appalled at the thought that governments could rewrite history. Orwell knew the USSR did it. Now China pretends the Tiananmen massacre didn’t happen. It did. I was there, and saw it for myself.

Col Susannah Meyers had been removed from her role at Pituffik Space Base due to a "loss of confidence in her ability to lead". Of course, the real reason is that she displayed leadership.

Would anyone like to remind him of this?

In a bid to modernise the Royal Navy while dramatically increasing fleet numbers, the UK government has announced the introduction of a new fleet of stealth inflatable warships, designed to be rapidly deployed and almost invisible to enemy radar. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/?p=57838

“Nothing destroys a leader’s credibility with soldiers more thoroughly than hypocrisy or double standards. When leaders break the rules that they impose on soldiers, they break the bond of trust between soldiers and commanders.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/o...

If you ever wondered how the KGB manipulated foreigners and got them to repeat Soviet propaganda, spend some time listening to Steve Witkoff talk about his wonderful conversations with Vladimir Putin.

Call me cynical, but Trumps offer to run Ukraine's nuclear power plants actually be a request from Putin so as to prevent Ukraine developing a nuclear weapons programme ?

has anyone tried unplugging Elon and plugging him back in? no, wait. leave him unplugged
