Yes, but your two big ideas so far have been police and crime commissioners and Brexit. Shall we check on them first?

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

🤨 Putin directly ruled out any territorial compromise over the Donbas during a phone call with Finland’s Alexander Stubb and Norway’s Jonas Gahr Støre, Reuters reports. He insisted that a deal is impossible without full submission to Moscow's demands.

“The case for Rejoin must be a case for Europe as our home: a continent…prepared to take on and defeat Russian imperialism, an economic union which can shelter countries from the storm of a global trade war” A team we want to belong to. Because it strengthens us all. www.arguably.uk/p/europe-is-...

Good night, dear friends. Thank you for keeping Ukraine in your hearts, for your prayers, your kindness, your help, and your unwavering support. Thank you for standing beside us, for refusing to look away, and for reminding us, even in our darkest moments, that we are not alone.

Mayor Mamdani and Councilmember Kayla Santosuosso visited the New York Aquarium to meet some seals and celebrate the impact of the administration’s $2 million investment in the aquarium.

POLL OF THE DAY Has Burnham opened a can of worms by wanting ‘honest discussion’ over Brexit? VOTE NOW www.thesun.co.uk/news/4081059...

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

Thirty years ago I was on a high-volume high-aggro mailing list, and when someone lost it like this the tradition was for someone to take the text of the message, alphabetize it, paste it into a reply, and say “these words didn’t appear to be in any particular order so I alphabetized them for you”

My friends, can you please offer prayers and send some good energy to the Navajo Nation Reservation and surrounding communities. Pilamaya — thank you 🙏🏾 🪶✨

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041

Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote.

Left: President Trump, "I saw Obama was in Michigan and the place was empty" Right: Obama, El-Sayed and Benson walk onto stage and the full house crowd erupts in joy

And true to form, Farage and the Tories (Philp) respond by being totally dishonest about it… Freedom of movement with the EU requires EU citizenship. Immigration requires visas. Talk of ‘betrayal’ and ‘uncontrolled migration’ is the mark of a liar or a fool. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Elon Musk has dumped almost $450 million into the midterm elections. Tesla paid 0% in federal income tax last year. We should tax the billionaires.

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

lol 😎😅🤣😂 🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: I'm a normal person. I'm just human. Maybe not such a big humanitarian as Putin. But in any way, I try my best, really.

Precisely. Stop the small boats, and the Racists will turn on Legal immigration. Stop all Legal immigration, and the Racists will turn on the Brown people who are already here. Deport all the Brown people here, and the Racists will turn on the 'Lefties' - etc, etc, etc, etc ...

🇺🇦Zelenskyy: The speed limits on Starlink and Starshield are still there. The speed has not been restored. And the delivery of interceptors to protect us against Russian ballistic missiles is still delayed. We’re waiting for interceptors that were already agreed on. But they are still not coming.

Trump’s lawyers fight to keep FBI agents quiet about buried Smith report www.alternet.org/jack-smith-c... Nazi fcks

Ireland to back ‘whatever’ sanctions European Commission proposes for Russia, McEntee says

My latest: Ukraine’s Starshield access is still crippled, no-one is taking the blame, and Ukrainian soldiers and civilians are dying because of it. kyivindependent.com/analysis-ukr...

⚡️️️️️️️Rosneft admits losses from Ukraine's refinery strikes becoming unsustainable, Bloomberg reports. Officials at Rosneft have privately voiced concerns that even a few more months of Ukraine's continued attacks could lead to lasting damage for the company.

In England, no women aged 20 to 24 died of cervical cancer between 2020 and 2024, according to a study published in The Lancet. Researchers link it to the HPV vaccine.

1/ The Musk-Trump decision to degrade Ukraine's Starlink access as a pressure tactic is a disaster not just for the United States' reputation but for the entire US defence industry. Musk's action may end up burning the whole industry. ⬇️

This article came out six weeks ago, there's enough public evidence that @foreignpolicy.com let me say "bribed" without caveat, and still, the new Kushner revelations show he was BRIBED. Directly bribed. Right into secret foreign accounts bribed. Massively corrupt, ultimately world-changing bribes.

❗️Zelenskyy stated that Trump, who harshly criticizes him, should speak about Putin in the same way. He emphasized that Congress has already voted for tough sanctions, which Trump can impose, but for some reason he is not doing so.

Christiane Amanpour, "Don't forget. Every time Donald Trump has asked for a ceasefire, Zelenskyy says yes, Putin says no" "Putin wants Zelenskyy to give up territory which Putin hasn't even conquered yet"

"You are a humanitarian..., sir, and I salute that.” Steve Witkoff speaking to Putin

OTD in 1994 The "Agreement between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Moldova on Matters Related to Jurisdiction and Mutual Legal Assistance / 14th Army Withdrawal" was signed in Moscow. It required Russian forced to leave Moldova within 3 years. 32 years later they are still there.

The undercover reporter suggested people did not mind if Farage “makes a few bob [from politics]” Jukes replied: “Well it’s a bit priced in with our Nige, isn’t it, no one’s voting for him to be the pope” But a racist, corrupt, security-risk PM is fine, is it? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is just strange behavior, even from a dementia patient. Trump stops and waves. The camera zooms out to reveal that there’s nobody in the direction he’s waving. Apparently, he’s waving to the ghost of Lindsey Graham.

Reposting. Because the BBC won't.

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

Meanwhile a couple of old mates meet up at an airport. Oh yeah, the real estate guy and his handler Dmitriev, emerge from St Petersburg airport on their way to meet Putin, who will make Witkoff wait for hours.

Day 1701 of Ukraine's battle for survival. There is a growing fear that the country's fate may be decided by the Trump-Putin alliance in the next two weeks, as a 'Useful Idiot' estate agent arrives in Russia. Just like every single day of the war, I'm back with THE daily🧵

Russia keeps bringing death and destruction to Ukrainian cities. ▪️ Two people were killed when a Russian drone struck a residential building in #Kyiv this morning. Another person was injured. ▪️ Three people were killed in Kyiv region, and 12 more were injured. 📷: Yan Dobronosov / SESU

the routine, pay for play pardons are all by themselves one of the worst corruption scandals in american history!

Elon denies he betrayed the Ukrainians in the midst of a Russian assault in order to help Putin. But WSJ has the evidence: he did. Can we allow a drug addict from South Africa to run US military assets in the middle of a war? How did this happen? www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

Something I really admire about @quietriotpod.bsky.social is they summarise in a sentence what would take me a week to articulate. In this episode it's @mrkennycampbell.bsky.social : "Patriotism should be measured by how much you contribute to a country, not how loudly you insist it belongs to you."

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.

This is, of course, shameless lying by a shameless liar, but it's an odd apporoch. Somalis have nice cars and nice homes? So you're attacking them for fulfilling the American dream?
