He didn’t like the answers it was giving, so he’s starting over.

Continually rebuilding his only friend until it likes him... I haven't seen a person go to these lengths to get affirmation since I drank a bottle of vinegar during Freshers week.

So now there may be a war because #TrumpleThinSkin couldn't stand an Obama success?

The Labour government is reworking how council funding is calculated. It will fulfil the promise to end single year funding settlements and give councils certainty over multiple years. A consultation is also happening to ensure calculated funding is fairer for all councils. 1/3

More from my unnamed source, Kemi Badenoch held secret talks with Nigel Farage in the tea tent at Ascot yesterday. They discussed the merger of the Tories and the Reform Party Ltd, the new party will be called ConReformers Party. Fact free speculation of course but hey ho.

The UK and Bahrain have signed a new investment partnership that will see £2bn of investment in Britain in sectors like clean energy, manufacturing and tech. It is double the investment agreed in a similar deal in 2023. www.gov.uk/government/n...

My office is on Brick Lane. Every day we push through hordes of tourists who are there to marvel at the exciting success story that is that neighbourhood, London and the Uk more generally. Building successful multi cultural & confessional democracies is one of the greatest achievements in history

THE CORPUS OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

Important news for you here - that is as well sourced as most speculative articles in the media which are reliant on 'unnamed sources', 'rumour' on things that could / might / may happen!

Esther Rantzen hails Commons passage of ‘rigorous and safe’ assisted dying bill

Concerns raised over Telegraph journalist as she completely forgets that Boris Johnson ever existed.

Labour secured a ton of wins this week. While Middle East tensions grabbed the headlines, Labour made demonstrable progress towards building a fairer, stronger Britain. 5 eye-grabbing changes: (and this is only since Monday)

🔴 Remember Owen Paterson? Well, the former Tory minister - who resigned as an MP after an "egregious" breech of Westminster's lobbying rules - is now back lobbying.... Against a ban on MPs' 2nd jobs 😜 Full story on Democracy for Sale: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/disgraced-...

Educated BlueSky 🦋 rugby people, I am trusting you with this. It contains people’s opinions you will disagree with and political arguements you won’t like, but I think it was worth having the discussion as its something im enountering more and more lately… Link 🧡 open.substack.com/pub/thepirat...

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

In Praise of Kim Leadbeater Regardless of how today's vote goes, she has shown us a politics of compromise, compassion and decency. We should treat it as proof of concept for a better kind of politics. iandunt.substack.com/p/in-praise-...

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.” Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing? There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

Good morning everyone. ☕️☕️☕️

We went from UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!!! to “we’ll see what happens in two weeks.”

Back in 2012......

Whole section of the Federal Government now spends its time masked, out-of-uniform, and unidentifiable, variously snatching people from courthouses, handcuffing elected officials, and driving around LA trying find the best location to provoke a riot for TV coverage purposes.

The extent to which the London Standard (formerly the Evening Standard) properly hates London and always has properly hated London is really quite the phenomenon. It's like having a temperance crusader running CAMRA. I recommend www.londoncentric.media instead.

The government has announced £500m funding to support the delivery of major world class sporting events in the coming years. It is estimated the social-economic return from this will be £2.4bn. An additional £400m funding is being invested in grassroots sporting facilities across the whole UK.

The WH lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". I wish that was true. But here's our reality: We are now under the "leadership" of a regime actively planning to disappear people -even CITIZENS- to war-torn nations! Silence is not our friend. SHARE this video! 🎧 #MAGAKidnappers

Today’s London Standard has a big report on how the capital “isn’t working”. It blames immigrants, especially Muslims, and the lack of “White British”. It asks “if there’s a minimum number of natives” at which London must give it up its status as the UK capital. www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/lond...

Managed up to: “When it was recently estimated, in a report by Professor Matt Goodwin”

New data reveals that 40% of corporation tax due from small businesses isn’t being paid. It’s a hidden crisis that costs the UK £15 billion a year — and HMRC has quietly lost control. buff.ly/5Ah4fP4

Israel complaining about another country bombing a civilian hospital is almost as sadly ironic as Israel bombing another country for developing nuclear technology.

No, MPs haven't legalised abortion up to birth. That lie was spread on X by many who should know better. The change is about saving a handful of vulnerable women from trauma and prison. Women about whom those people do not even think. New writing from me open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

This is fantastic news for Swansea, and communities across South Wales. Anti-Net-Zero ideologues will tell you green industries are the problem. They’re wrong. Wales has a proud past working the pits, but our jobs of the future are in the sun and on the sea. www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

Another SPACE X explosion

Labour You have had a WHOLE year to sort out: The economy The NHS Education Crime Migration Potholes Heatwaves Jeggings Manchester Utd Jeremy Clarkson Trainer socks Quinoa Moths What the actual f*ck have you been up to??? ONE WHOLE YEAR! And NONE of these problems solved. 😡

"I'm very happy to have this out" writes Douglas Carswell, insincerely.

Netanyahu has been raising the specter of an Iranian nuclear weapon since at least 1995 and now is using that as an excuse to start a war. Almost all Iranians want freedom from the Islamic Republic of Iran. Despite what you might hear, tho, my people’s liberation will not come from foreign bombs.

What happens when a political agenda takes over any semblance of journalistic standards Telegraph admits its story about private school family not being able to go on five holidays was complete nonsense and not remotely fact-checked Beyond embarrassing www.telegraph.co.uk/news/0/the-t...

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

10 years of the podcast. Thank you so much for listening. It’s the best thing I’ve ever been involved with and I’m so grateful to you. Listen to the 10th anniversary ep here: 🎧: podfollow.com/dan-snows-hi...

I post my "Bluesky is dying" article on Twitter and sit back smugly as it's shown to 274 of my 80,000 followers, receiving two likes, on retweet, and an anime avatar called lolitas1488 telling me my inferior skullshape means I belong in the camps.

Man’s a poet.

Great news for punters and performers in Swansea 👇 swanseabaynews.com/2025/06/18/m...

If this group of men jumped out of a van and grabbed someone in your neighborhood, a friend, family member, or you. What's your reaction going to be?

Not sure how Bluesky will come back from being attacked by a Spectator writer who ‘wanked himself into hospital’. It really seems like all the right wing bad faith arguers are finding their engagement levels falling.

It took Netanyahu 29 years, but he finally found an American president who was itching to go to war with him against Iran.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

IAEA has seen no evidence that Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapons program. “We have had no indication of systematic efforts aimed at developing nuclear weapons,” said IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi in an interview with CNN.
