For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

The BBC is explicitly, consciously pivoting right to pander to a party with just 5 MPs. Where's the outrage? Where's the coverage?! They are converting our national broadcaster into a mouthpiece for the far right and no one is doing anything about it! bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

NEWS. Winter Fuel Payment to be reinstated for all State Pensioners this winter, but then clawed back via tax system for all who earn over £35,000 (roughly average earnings). This is a big improvement. Full instant analysis video coming with all the details in a minute.

There are still people who think what's happening in Palestine and what's happening in LA are two completely unrelated issues. Dear God the American education system has done so much damage.

a reminder if its needed that everything to do with Farage is dodgy. Reading Sunday Times piece on Reform, Farage says someone is needed to help 'Treasurer' Nick Candy with finances. Except the Treasurer of Reform is not Candy its Charlton Edwards (see Companies House listing)

So when Ms Badenoch says that women should be able to wear what they want, would she defend topless sunbathing in Hyde Park?

Have just caught up with #DrWho having been away. Got to say that I realise that I prefer Jodi Whittaker to Ncuti Gatwa.

I'm trying to amend a Channel Tunnel booking. On Firefox I get this page. It is wrong and the contact phone number is wrong. I don't get this weirdness except on Firefox on my PC. Other devices and other browsers are fine. Does anyone at #Leshuttle have any idea what's wrong?

A very important lesson, but one that Farridge and co are too thick to learn. Sadly so are most of their voters.

Truly bizarre exchange just now in which Kemi Badenoch demands that the BBC tells her whether or not Liz Truss is still in the Conservatives, despite her being in charge of the actual party herself

So Trump is threatening to withhold federal grants to California. Given that Californian residents and businesses pay $692.2 billion in federal taxes and the state receives only $609.1 billion in federal spending, it should be fairly obvious which way this ends. (2022 figures).

UK Govt AI copyright plan suffers fifth Lords defeat, 221 to 116 votes. Copyright enables many to earn a living. It is being ripped off by tech companies. All they need to do is to inform people, get a licence to use and pay. Govt says change might come in the future. I voted against the govt.

Public ownership ‘not the answer’ says Minister as Thames Water teeters. Wrong. After 36 yrs of market solutions. Result - sewage in rivers, unplugged leaks, customers fleeced, high dividends. Govt dithered. TW added another £3bn debt, spends £200m a year on advisers. Need public ownership now.

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.
