What an absolutely evil cunt Tom Watson has turned out to be.
'Watson told the podcast he would work with a Reform UK government on immigration crackdowns if the situation arose, saying: โ[Palantir] donโt actually work in that sector, but yes, of course we would"' www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
I'll be flying in to Minneapolis on Saturday. I'll let you all know what I find...
Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"
A reporter at a local newspaper once explained to me that they basically don't give a shit as long as the column inches get filled. Hardly any of them are out there trying to win Pulitzers. They're just meeting deadlines to put content out.. and asking difficult questions just makes that job harder.
AI *could* allow for people to do less hours for the same money. It won't of course. No technological gains ever result in working people getting the benefit. It will all go upwards, as it always does.
They think weโre all idiots As Jon Stewart says โ if the goal is guaranteed income and jobs, why wait? Why is it only โsocialismโ if we donโt hand them trillions of dollars first?

Cruel and unusual punishment is against the US constitution. I know this document doesn't really matter these days, but it should.
i oppose the death penalty, but the botched execution of Christa Pike is particularly harrowing Since she was 18 Pike has been on death row for murder. She is now 50 & her execution day came. Belted to a gurney she experienced all the fear & pain of execution - but she didn't die. Its enough.

Sensational stuff by Rรฉmi Duprรฉ: Congo should *not* have either played the WC play-offs or in the WC itself after repeatedly fielding an ineligible player; but Gianni Infantino made sure Fifa ignored the recommendations of its own legal team and did not sanction the Congolese.
This is basically the ideal outcome of any future election and our route back into the EU.
YouGov makes the point that thereโs an efficiency in the left bloc vote which isnโt there for the right. Left parties win 60% of seats with 52% of the vote while the right wins 40% of seats off 47% of votes. And thatโs without tactical voting.
Wonder why they're sabre rattling over the Falklands? Same as last time.. distracting from failures at home. It's the poor and their young men that will suffer, and die for these rich egotists.. as always.
Argentina President Javier Milei is throwing the poor under the bus to boost his countryโs economy. Reuters reports Argentinaโs poverty rate rose to 32.3% in the first half of 2026, up from 28.2%. The Catholic University of Argentina estimates poverty could rise to 35% by the end of 2026.
Ah, so Reform having cornered the "let's punch down on migrants" market, means the Tories are now trying to own the "let's punch down on the poor" sector. The right, as ever, desperate to divide and make people blame the most vulnerable for problems *they* and their wealthy mates, cause.
Helen Whateley explaining the Conservative's latest policy idea of restricting purchases of cigarettes and alcohol for people on benefits on #BBCQT "Supermarkets can have a code which stops people from purchasing a particular (item)" then cites "Aspen cards used by failed asylum seekers"

Half of that BBC panel should be in jail for the way they discussed Brexit. Andrew Neil even tried to blame Remainers for not stopping the Brexit HE SUPPORTED! #Bbcqt

All these platforms were originally sold to us as being liberating tools of free speech and expression. Now they're being actively used by their owners to suppress it www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance. Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trumpโs first term as a fluke. The American peopleโs choice to put him back in powerโas a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaignโshowed it was not.
This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

Could govt explain to the majority of liberal, progressive voters in this country why our genuinely legitimate concerns - about the rise in racism and flag-waving thuggery on our streets, are repeatedly brushed aside while they pathetically pander to the racist angst of a nasty, uninformed minority?

For someone worried about their rights, their safety, or whether their family will survive a war, those concerns follow them in and out of any concert. Ed Sheeran, and people like him, fail to understand that being able to treat politics as optional is a privilege!
