21st October 1966, 9.13am. The clock stopped permanently, just like the 144 lives - including 116 children - extinguished. All due to the greed, callous indifference and negligence that ignored warnings and let the disaster happen. Not a single person was ever prosecuted. Cofiwch Aberfan 💔

As Margarine Thatcher releases yet another book attempting to persuade us that HER delusions should also be OUR decisions, let me just remind you of how remarkably, hilariously, terrifyingly bad she was. No paywall. 725 jokes. (Kwasi did the maths) russincheshire.substack.com/p/it-would-a...

russincheshire.substack.com“It Would Almost Be Endearing if it Wasn’t So Completely and Utterly Fucking Mad”It is four years since Liz Truss’s mini-budget. So drink heavily, move the cat out of kicking distance, and relive the experience in this excerpt from Four Chancellors and a Funeral.

I’d like to know WHEN the architects of this catastrophe will be held to account! Is there no accountability for rich/privileged ppl? Ppl died because the Tory gov failed the population. Workers died because they were not protected. NO WONDER ppl have lost faith in politics/the establishment

They are breaking the law by pouring shit into Windermere. It's their job to fix it. No dividends and no bonuses until they do, or get nationalised.

. Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock are responsible for the 43,000 covid care home deaths - when it was obvious from Italy how serious it would be. They were more interested in dodgy tory VIP PPE deals... 🤦‍♀️ #r4today #bbcbreakfast #GMB #PoliticsLive #PMQs #C4News #Newsnight #toriesgone838 .

Official US policy is that Ukraine is a strategic partner, and Russia is an adversarial threat to US interests. Trump himself formalised it in Feb 2026. It was still the case when Starlink went down. If a US citizen harms allies and assists adversaries in a war, that's treason.

The blame for having an incompetent press secretary rests solely with Donald Trump, not Katie Zacharia. She can’t help that she’s incompetent, *he* chose to appoint her anyway. Just like he chose to appoint incompetent Pete Hegseth and incompetent RFK Jr.

The audience member is completely right. When we talk about the damage Brexit has caused, we often focus on the economic harm and the damage to our international standing. Both are important, but we've lost so much more than that. Let's win back those opportunities by rejoining the EU. ♥️
