He’s obviously removing all anti-trump leaders ahead of a ‘national emergency’ so they can halt elections and seize permanent control.

For those older than 15, what does "tapped" mean in this context? From the BBC:- "Kit Harington has been tapped to join the highly anticipated Harry Potter TV series as the wizarding world's celebrity-turned-Hogwarts instructor Gilderoy Lockhart, HBO confirmed to the BBC" I genuinely don't know

Andy Burnham in Kyiv, "You have stood tall and defiant in the face of everything that Russia has thrown at you, and you have taken your place as a proud sovereign European nation, a vibrant democracy with a bright future ahead" "Happy independence day" 🌻🇺🇦

A statesman ...

The last PM to both enter and leave No. 10 as the result of a general election: ❌ Burnham ❌ Starmer ❌ Sunak ❌ Truss ❌ Johnson ❌ May ❌ Cameron ❌ Brown ❌ Blair ❌ Major ❌ Thatcher ❌ Callaghan ❌ Wilson ✅ Heath (1970 - 74) This is not newsworthy. It's just overexcited journos having a circle jerk.

So the allegation of plagiarism in his PhD was investigated and dismissed. It turns out he did run all those marathons. So tell me, precisely, all you online sleuths — what exactly did Jason Arday do wrong? (Apart from being the wrong class and colour of course)

Just had a thought. Farage registered a £9,253 benefit from George Cottrell funding a Belgium trip in April 2024 - before the GE. This is the time that Farage and his allies say he was "not in politics." He declared that, but didn't declare the £5m Harborne gift. Something doesn't add up there...

REMEMBER: They all knew.

Reform: Let's kick our foreigners so we can look after our own people. (£50bn of welfare cuts) Reform: No, not those people.

Pride is earned, not demanded or obliged. And that's something that the flag shaggers and Brexiters have never understood. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Netanyahu’s description of the UK as the “Islamic Republic of Britain”. is wrong, divisive, and dangerous. Once again proud of Progressive Judaism for leading on this. Statement on Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Islamic Republic of Britain” remarks progressivejudaism.org.uk/statement-on...

JK Rowling isn't transphobic; she doesn't want vulnerable, abused women to be feel threatened by those they see as abusers

Oh no, Jason Arday found dead!!! I'm genuinely shocked and am deeply sorry for him and all that knew him! I have no idea about the rights and wrongs about the plagiarism accusation, but NOBODY should be pushed to their death by the media, let alone by a relatively minor issue like this!

@chrisgpackham.bsky.social Bluddi loving 'Evolution' on BBC2! I would love it to be 50 episodes long, rather than 5. Ho hum, maybe next year we will get a 'Mass extinctions' series...

"US spy tech giant Palantir paid an effective tax rate of just 8% on their £25.3m UK profits. Most companies with profits above £250,000 pay 25%. How is a company that’s won £670m in UK public contracts (including a massive £330m NHS deal) able to dodge our tax rules? " via 38 degrees

We just watched a legend written in real time. The fearlessness of Cape Verde is the kind of thing you use to teach your kids about belief in themselves. Goosebumps.

Cape Verde defeats Argentina via a 2-3 loss in extra time

I've become a massive Cape Verde football fan! Extraordinary spirit, strength, teamwork, heart! Sidny Cabral should be given some major national award or other - "Sir Sidny"?

Left: Lisa Nandy complains about a lack of regulation on social media Right: Lisa Nandy quitting Twitter because of a lack of regulation on social media Lisa Nandy has been paid an extra £135,010 ministerial salary for the past two years to not do her job of regulating social media and run away

Lisa Nandy announces plan to quit X over fear it pushes ‘abuse and misinformation’

It's interesting how everything people used to proudly call "public" when I was growing up (public parks, public libraries, public schools, public transportation, public television, etc) is suddenly "socialist" now that rich people are spinning it.

"Fourteen Years in Prison for Quoting Hamas? New Law Could Criminalise Journalists" Starmer is rushing legislation through parliament that experts say threatens free speech, reports Paul Holden for Zeteo UK. Read/share/subscribe:

FFS! "The National Crime Agency [NCA] has said online networks, “many as yet unidentified by law enforcement”, were allowing offenders to arrange to rape and abuse victims or arrange for sexual assaults to be filmed" What are the depths humans (of the male variety) will descend to? No limits!

Trump is a chump Who knew?! His suing of the BBC requires him to provide proof of financial losses - he won't provide evidence

I wonder if anyone in @ukparliament.parliament.uk, especially Keir Starmer and John Healey are aware that some countries do the right thing, whilst "we" - they - don't? France is a far more ethical country on many levels ...

Fek! Infertility as a result of semen fertility reduction through the generations is in rapidly increasing. If our grandchildren are created, will they survive to adulthood?

I quite liked Tony Blair back when he won for Labour after many miserable years of Tory hegemony. But he is absolutely, completely *WRONG* now! (ignoring all Iraq related actions) Maybe my support of him back in 1997 was completely ridiculous! He is such a sad man now
