It took more than a week www.president.gov.ua/en/news/vidn... A hundred died while Musk and Trump blamed eachother They're both too blame

This exquisitely named bill is what's trying to prevent Trump buying Russian diesel www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/... And this is the first container ship en route... www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/deta... Greek owned and under a Maltese flag, so don't expect Britain or France to intercept it 💙💛

New Mexico just sued Facebook for doing, during the US elections, what they did in the UK during the Brexit Referendum www.cbsnews.com/news/meta-ne... ...for $25Bn! Just one state out of 50!

...or delivering parcels in a second hand transit van so you can afford an electric one... Oh, actually that does make sense
The Govt claiming we must drill more fossil fuels so we can use the tax revenues to fund the green transition is about as logical as a doctor telling you to smoke 2 packs a day to raise the money for your lung transplant You don’t put out a fire by pouring on more fuel 🔥#Jackdaw
This is too good! www.irishnews.com/news/uk/refo... One of the only things I enjoy about extreme viewed protest parties is they don't know when to keep quiet

This is fair www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Mayor Helen Godwin needs a kick. Her stance that improvements can be made with existing arrangements is obviously nonsense.
I'm completely with the Lib Dems in this one www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Everyone should use the same infrastructure Let's scrap first class (private) schools and health while we're at it!
Tories now trying the Biff Tannen strategy www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... "What's the matter Labour, too Chicken to hurt the poor!?"
Blimey, he's not thought this through! Suddenly his allies don't need to remain loyal to get paid
Trump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%. That's a lot of money"
Believing that all Reform should be fed live to not particularly hungry pigs is a "legitimate opinion" www.standard.co.uk/news/london/... Not all opinions are equally well informed. The death penalty is demonstrably wrong. There's no room in politics for people who can't understand why.
Bradford Interchange was always in an odd spot - the lowest spot in the middle of Bradford, so practically impossible to connect to Forster Square www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... A through station slightly North would be my preference
The city of Leeds has enough money (and autonomy) to do quite a lot of this now, without sign-off from the treasury - small projects that can't be blocked by London
We locked rail supremo @garethdennis.uk in a room and refused to let him out until he'd designed us a new metro network. Readers, he did not disappoint. theexchange.news/leeds-should...
Petitions are the opposite of lobbying action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-09... Well... same. But different. You know what to do!
Nothing like slowing down the economy to increase employment! (Or vilifying people whose votes you'll never get)
Tories call for 5-year freeze on minimum wage to tackle youth unemployment. So, how will workers in retail, hospitality pay rent, energy, water, food bills? Impact on mental health, NHS, public services? Silence on corporate welfare, soaring exec pay, dividends, share buybacks.
It's much harder to get away with a lie, so the far right are given more air time! 🤓
Byline Times reporting former BBC producer Patrick Howse warning that treating truth and lies as equal perspectives directly empowers bad-faith actors exposes serious journalistic decay. Equating misinformation with facts erodes public trust. Why permit false balance? (1/2) 🤔 #FBPE

This puts the UK at 1.8% on the year so far (to end of August) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... On target for c. 2.7% by year end
Ukraine has resumed attacks on Russian oil refineries! Good for them. I guess Trump got what he deserved... www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o... ...appears as though the switch to data centres was more painful than high derv prices

Zionosm isn't racism. The very notion of considering it racist is meaningless. It would be like blaming roads for mob violence because they turned up by car But that doesn't mean no Zionists are racist, or that there aren't racist Zionists in prominent positions within the Jewish community
Pretty extraordinary for the Jewish Chronicle to run an op ed & news story about Nigel Farage warning of antisemitism in the Greens without mentioning that he is the only serving major party leader to have been criticised by Jewish groups for using tropes linked to antisemitic conspiracy theories.
I sincerely hope the UK government call French and German diplomats in for a polite word www.navylookout.com/france-and-g...
