Zelensky is welcomed by EU leaders at the Brussels summit. On this side of the Atlantic, no other leader commands this level of love and respect.

The Holy See Press Office releases two photos of Pope Leo XIV during his hospitalization at the Gemelli. This morning the Pope celebrated Mass at 12 in a room on the tenth floor of the hospital.

Exquisite

'Transitioning out' encapsulates the contempt they have for American voters. They treat them like idiots and they make sure they know they're being treated like idiots. Sadly, enough of them vote like idiots.

Journalist to Hegseth: “Mr. Secretary, are you Vladimir Putin’s puppet on Ukraine? Mr. Secretary, is Vladimir Putin playing you like a fiddle?” Good job, Britain! That’s how it’s done. Video: Sky News

You may be happy with the populist right attacking immigrants now, but their agenda is tax cuts and rolling back the welfare state. That means the crosshairs are going to land soon on the “undeserving poor” and your skin colour won’t save you or the ones you love.

USCCB President Archbishop Coakley who was just received in audience by Pope this week on televised execution of Hassan: “Our God is the God of life: Hassan's actions can in no way be justified, but this decision is a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered."

It's almost like putting a quack anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation's health policy has consequences. "The United States has now had more measles deaths in the past two years than we have had in the previous three decades combined...": www.ms.now/news/pennsyl...

It never stops being important that, no matter what the subject, politicians like Farage, Trump & Rubio are entirely untethered from the most basic requirements of honest discourse. They might turn out to be telling the truth sometimes but only ever in the spirit of stopped clocks.

Happy Kicked In The Head By A Horse Day, to all who celebrate. It's the 7th anniversary of this absolute banger.

Why is it important to talk about OLESHKY ? Because people there are starving, and russia is not allowing them to evacuate. The international community needs to put prеssure on russia. And for that, we need to spread the word. Please tag your leaders. Only together can we help.

Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum. Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Imagine having more money than you could ever need and instead of using it to tackle poverty or disease you give it to a bunch of entitled grifters who don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.

a great letter in the times today. perhaps worth sharing in these troubled times. #RNLI #heroes

"Dear Diary, £72 million in 48 hours! It sounds a lot, but it's peanuts compared to what they'll make when I keep my promise to slash capital gains tax on crypto assets from 24% to 10% and set up a Bank of England Bitcoin Reserve Fund"

There is no way you can tell me that this guy is fit to be President. During the reading of the 9/11 victims at the Pentagon.

I've only ever been impressed by Amol Rajan, but to make the big reveal of his opinions and lead with Cummings?!!! 🤦🏻

Trump promised $5,000 stimulus checks from DOGE cuts. You got 0. Trump promised $2,000 stimulus checks from tariffs. You got 0. Trump promised $1,000 checks from Obamacare cuts. You got 0. Trump promised $1.98 gas. You got $4+. Trump now has more promises for you.

I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

A third of nurses and a third of doctors were born overseas. Without immigrants the NHS would collapse. You are more likely to be treated by an immigrant than to be behind one in a queue. Massive underfunding of our NHS and lack of social housing were a political choice.

🍿 WATCH: ‘Tommy Robinson: Where’s the Money Gone?’ TONIGHT at 10pm on Channel 4. Then head back here after the show. We’ve got more to reveal.

Men will send me emails like this and then go rampaging on the streets of Dover and Portsmouth claiming they want to keep refugees out in order to “PROTECT OUR WOMEN!” Not a single one of the young male refugees I’ve worked with has ever spoken to me with such violent misogyny.

We have made a full documentary about what really happened at Reform conference. If you only watch a bit of it please make it these 39 seconds. You won't regret it.

Today's a good day to support this amazing organisation and its heroic volunteers #RNLI

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

Astonishing to hear people say they'd rather asylum seekers drowned than be saved by the RNLI. Next comes letting people die in burning hostels rather than be saved by the fire brigade and letting people get kicked to death in the street rather than be saved by the Police. Don't platform this hate.

I am bloody proud to be an #RNLI supporter and member! These brilliant men and women have quite enough to cope with without being harassed by the scum of the earth. Their only concern is to help people in danger at sea - not check passports first! Which is how it should be. Please RT if you agree🙏
