Will the media finally do their job & ask No.10 who blocked the arrest warrant for Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar during his UK visit? It’s astonishing the PM insists he had no role in blocking a warrant for an unindicted war criminal. So who’s lying? Because someone is.

Keir Starmer remains a spineless coward with no principles, no moral compass, and absolutely no compassion. News at 11.

Solidarity with trans women after today’s Supreme Court ruling. The rollback of LGBT rights — especially trans rights — is global, bankrolled by billionaires and the far-right. Trans rights are human rights. We must defend the Equality Act and its protections for trans people.

Meet the destroyer HMS Glowworm. In April 1940 she was forced to fight the German Heavy Cruiser Admiral Hipper, ten times her size, and Hipper's destroyer escorts. Her extraordinary last stand earned her captain the first Victoria Cross of WW2. In part because THE GERMANS nominated him for one /1 🧵

Even now I'm half wondering if this is some softening-up exercise for a more limited (but still dreadful) set of final proposals, but just to be clear - this would be an act of outright barbarity without precedent: not copying the Tories, worse than the Tories. www.itv.com/news/2025-03...

Nobody chooses to be chronically ill or disabled just to claim PIP. Don't believe me. These are the governments own figures. The rate of fraud in PIP is statistically zero.

Hi everyone. The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars. We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website. We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off. I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

This is HMS Fidelity. Built in Liverpool in 1920. Served as a Royal Navy commando and covert action ship during WW2. I think Fidelity might be unique among WW2 Royal Navy combat vessels. Her First Officer was a woman: the absolutely fascinating Lt Cdr (effective) Madeleine Barclay. /1

NEW: We just won a case against a cop who shot a student protester in the eye. He lost at trial but the court set the verdict aside and gave him qualified immunity. This morning, the Ninth Circuit reversed. It said the district court should not have “nullified the jury’s verdict in this case.”
