A simple explanation of the forthcoming US mid-term elections. Probably mainly of interest to non-Americans, but possibly also helpful to some Americans. As ever, it's important to register and then to use your vote. www.usvotefoundation.org/do-midterm-e...

House Republicans are on track to lose their majority just a little over one month out from the midterm elections, according to a nonpartisan election forecaster.

Love these intricately sculpted column captials on Salmon, Son and Gillepsie's 1899 Glasgow Style British Linen Bank on Govan Road in Glasgow. Created by Francis Derwent Wood, the capitals feature a variety of activities, such as beekeeping, navigation and fishing. #glasgow #architecture #govan

Last Day of Biden Vs. Trump: 🔹 Gas: $3.12 → $4.32 🔹 Diesel: $3.63 → $6.29 🔹 Inflation: 2.9% → 3.4% 🔹 Wage growth: 3.9% → 3.1% 🔹 Real wage growth: +1.0% → -0.3% 🔹 GDP growth: 2.8% in 2024 → 1.5% in Q2 2026 🔹 And the U.S. is now at war with Iran.

Great view of York Minster over the roofs of High Petergate. It's tempting to say the view has changed little since 1640, when the bldg housing the current pub was built, but most of the foreground bldgs were reconstructed in 1905. The half-timbered bldg was a tenement & may have looked similar.

Trump is accusing oil refiners of gouging Americans and demanding a DOJ investigation after his Iran war helped send gas above $4 a gallon through August—the most expensive August at the pump on record. When your policy sets the kitchen on fire, apparently the smoke alarm is the suspect.

The president is making US policy friendlier to North Korea and Russia than Canada and Oman. Are you kidding me?

The Balmoral Hotel, 1 Princes Street, Edinburgh. Built in 1902 by the North British Railway Company adjacent to Waverley railway station, the hotel was originally known as the North British Hotel. The clock is kept 3 mins fast to help rail travellers catch their trains.

When I tell people I enjoy karaoke singing, they sometimes ask if I get many requests. I reply that I get lots of requests, but I carry on singing anyway. 🎤🎶🎵🎶😖🙉

Today the Islamic Republic of Iran essentially declared that Donald Trump is too mentally deranged and pathologically deceitful to negotiate with... so they won't. And you know what? They're right. That's a normal, rational, adult position. So why don't we see it inside the US?

"The only self-sacrificing and public spirited thing for me to do is reluctantly to accept a lifetime peerage and a job I'm demonstrably unqualified for by any objective standard - in the public interest."

I know I'm inclined towards Jacobin thoughts on such matters - but attempting to present the venal, self-interested & inherently ridiculous grabbing of dangled ermine - after you failed at a democratic route to power - as proof to your dedicated devotion to public service, is repulsive. Pure odium.

Slightly worrying that the only live TV coverage of 🍊🏌🏻‍♂️💩🇺🇸 I could find in the UK was on the Al Jazeera channel. DJT still as paranoid as a Spice addict, still as sore a loser as a 3 year-old, and still as dangerous as a fire-cracker in a dynamite store.

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

MASSIVE WIN!! The US Supreme Court has just DENIED Trump's effort to overturn the E. Jean Carroll sexual assault and defamation verdict.

Important. Please share. The govt is doing a review of access to face-to-face banking. For many elderly and vulnerable people in person banking is crucial and we need to protect it. The review wants your view, you can feed in here... www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/accesstoba...

Imagine missing your own son’s wedding so you could go surrender to Iran

FACT: Elon Musk spent $290 million to help elect Donald Trump. Since then, the world’s richest man has gained another $563 billion in wealth while slashing humanitarian aid, projected to contribute to the deaths of 4.5 million of the world’s poorest children.

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol. He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up.

For Trump and his friends: - A $1.8 billion slush fund, paid for by you. - A $1 billion ballroom, paid for by you. For you and other American taxpayers: - Millions kicked off health care. - Highest gas prices in 5 years. - Soaring costs for groceries and other necessities.

Dear Prime Minister, you said to big tech: 'If you profit from harm & abuse, you lose the right to self-regulate' - yet you've done almost nothing to tackle scam ads?

😂 @DavidLammy on BBC1 making an absolute tit of himself (OK - situation normal!). "You don't change the pilot mid-flight because of a bit of turbulence." He f*cked-up the take-off, did so many U-turns the passengers got airsick, then changed destinations. It's time to chuck him out with a back-pack.
