I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.

Oh excellent. Another think tank grifting for foreign money to buy our democracy and put Farage in No. 10 - via a pact with the unelectable Tory party, a manifesto modelled on Trump’s Project 2025 and the strong hope that - with helpful media cover - voters will be stupid enough to fall for it.

We’re raising $1,500,000 for 10 AI-controlled air defense turrets that will protect Ukrainians from russia's terrorist attacks. Russia has launched over 45,000 strike drones at civilians since the start of the invasion. Help us hit the goal & save lives. #3E #StandWithUkraine

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics. This sums up *exactly* how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

Billionaires make bad politicians. Musk and Trump think business smarts translate to government, but politics isn’t about winning at all costs. It’s compromise, not control. And history shows: when entrepreneurs enter politics, chaos usually follows. Full story by ‘Slicker’ in the latest issue.

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

What do we think?🤔 Hmm…. A Daily Mail headline so clearly designed to make you furious. Being shared by salivating Tory MPs who love a good rage farming story! So, what’s going on here? Let’s take a look!👀 🧵 1/13

President Zelenskyy: "We are not kids with Putin at the playground in the park. He [Putin] is a murderer who came to this park to kill the kids" — ABC News. Zelenskyy responded to Trump's comparison of the Russo-Ukrainian war to "two little kids fighting in a park." ⤵️

Ukraine could’ve launched the attack on civilian population centers, like Russia does to them daily. Instead, they chose a strictly military target - the very bombers being used to kill Ukrainian civilians. A brilliant operation solely designed to defend their own people.

If the hard and far right need to blame anyone for “two-tier” policing, they need only look to themselves and the invidious position in which they’ve put officers. My latest, on Liverpool open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Morning from Kyiv! I'm trying to grasp the scale of the night attack on Ukraine. russia used 298 drones and 69 missiles. There are casualties and damage across Ukraine. Children are among the killed 💔 This terror has a single goal - to make us surrender. No way! I need a wacoffee.

Johnson put a border in the Irish Sea, sold out the fishing industry, all SMEs trading with the EU, our farmers, universities, musicians, young people, scientists, all of us… And now he sits in the mess he made throwing insults at those who are clearing up after him. What a monumental piece of shit.

Today, the Covid Inquiry heard how Boris Johnson lied to the British public about the UK's ability to Test & Trace. Those in power knew that a lack of planning and underinvestment had left the country unprepared, and they tried to cover it up. Our loved ones paid the price.

An absolute masterclass in how the UK media platforms and normalises far right politics. This is how Farage wins.

Massive Russian attack on Odesa last night. Two people killed. Fifteen more people injured. Residential buildings, private homes, a supermarket, a school and vehicles damaged. Russian terror on Ukrainian civilians continues.

Putin stole Crimea by force. And it is strategically very important putting Russia right on the southern sea border border of Ukraine too. But Trump is just fine with that kind of theft. Because he’d do it too if he could. (See Canada / Greenland). Putin & Trump. 2 cheeks of the same arse.

Trump dismisses the Russia Palm Sunday terrorist attack on Ukraine's Sumy as just "a mistake", despite Russia double tapping on civilians and visibly celebrating the massacre online.

The greatest ally of a dictator is indifference. Please don’t forget about it. Night-night. It is calm in Kyiv now.

“Starmer must not trade away our food standards as part of tariff negotiations. We are as indignant about American animal welfare as JDVance seems to be about the control of anti-abortion demonstrations outside UK clinics” So many reasons to focus on the EU, not the US. Letter of the week The Week

For the second month now, Putin has been ignoring the U.S. proposal for a ceasefire. Russia is confident it can continue killing Ukrainians without any punishment in return Russia wants war.Its rapidly growing military machine can only be stopped by force — or by cutting off the money that fuels it

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Good trouble

Interesting research showing shingles vaccines associated with 20% decrease in likelihood of getting dementia. We know several viruses and or associated immune- mediated inflammation important in Alzheimer’s development so this likely fits with that idea & more evidence of wider vaccine benefits 🧪
