“While each of us (voted Brexit) for different reasons, we all believed that the UK could do a better job of running its own affairs than *unelected officials* in Brussels could." Ben Houchen... November 2020 Six years later 👇👇👇
Since his ennoblement in Boris Johnson’s 2023 resignation list, Tees Valley regional mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen has claimed more than £25,000 in tax-free daily “attendance” allowances from the House of Lords for 73 days when he hasn’t voted, spoken or performed any recorded parliamentary activity.

Ohio’s biggest newspaper broke its own rules to endorse Amy Acton, calling Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad disqualifying. “Using childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it crosses a line Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.” thedailybeast.com/trumps-maga-...

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Thank you Ian. You never get time to say everything you intended to. I should have noted that what Trump considers pressure tactics, like suspending intel on Russian missile launches or messing with Starlink, is costing lives of civilians in Ukraine. That won’t be forgotten.
Wise words from @lordrickettsp.bsky.social on BBC R4 Today after Trump’s abandonment of Ukraine: UK gov’t has to start a conversation with the people about the threats from Russia & what it means for us. Europe can’t keep hoping that life will return to normal, as long as Trump & Putin are in power.

Israeli settlers attack European diplomats in the West Bank Why do they insist on calling them settlers?? They look just like terrorists to me!! news.sky.com/share/13600609
mol.im/a/16198861 Why do those who love these old men allow them to be used this way? He was a Marine….he knows that shooting the boats is just as lethal as shooting the people….just slower! It’s like advocating the RAF shoots at shot-down enemy parachutes… surely this isnt who we really are?
As Trump’s Govt crumbles and disintegrates, his whole team will fall into two camps:- - those happy to head down into the bunker with him, knowing there’s no way out - those who head to their homes, pretend they only vaguely knew Trump, didn’t take bribes or profit, & wait for the knock at the door!

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
