So “pro-life.”

"Netanyahu has had a zeal about Iran developing nuclear weapons for the best part of two decades." The Israeli PM continues to warn of the "imminent threat" of an Iranian nuclear bomb - a warning he's been issuing with urgency since the 1990s. @maitlis.bsky.social | @lewisgoodall.com

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

@padilla.senate.gov: "We’re a co-equal branch of government, our job is oversight and accountability... If there's an opportunity for me to ask a question in-person at a press conference in my home state, that's me doing my job."

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

My God. Pete Hegseth was asked 8 times - EIGHT TIMES - by @sethmoulton.bsky.social on if accountability applies to him and cannot give a straight answer. Accountability for thee, none for me.

Someone tell me how this is in any way different to a bog-standard authoritarian dictator.

Rebrand MAGA as MADDDA MAKE AMERICA DIVIDED/DAFT/DANGEROUS AGAIN

Now, more than ever, it’s vital to stand together against transphobia and anti-LGBTQ+ hate. So ahead of Pride month, Stop Funding Hate is joining forces with Good Law Project to urge advertisers to do the right thing: goodlaw.social/sfh

Cummings and Farage deserve each other. They’re both utterly ignorant, they’re both boring and predictable, and they both suffer the precise flaws of those they lambast inews.co.uk/opinion/cumm...

As the gullible simpletons go looking for conspiracies about what happened in Liverpool, a quick throwback to one of last year's best-sellers! We'll happily print a fresh one for anyone who wants one with free UK delivery here >>>

Unbelievable. What an incredible effort. What a win, what a performance. History makers. Champions of Europe 👏👏👏

So important

Report: “European leaders … were unsuccessful in pushing Trump toward enacting additional sanctions on the Kremlin.” No kidding. Trump/Russia.

BREAKING: The Trump administration blocks Harvard from enrolling international students. Harvard enrolls nearly 6,800 international students out of a student body of 24,596. Current international students at Harvard will need to transfer or lose their legal status. nbcnews.to/4dzg6eq

More should have been made about Farage's absence from Parliament in the week of the summit. After all, the date was well known in advance. And next week is a holiday for the Commons anyway. This is someone who deliberately chose not to be present.

If ever you needed evidence that UK politics is fucked, here it is.

The hysterical reaction of certain commentators to today’s UK-EU agreement is something to behold. The “surrender” of using e-gates when you go on holiday. The contempt for the “will of the people” of making education abroad more accessible. Rigorous debate is good. This nonsense is a waste of time.

Because they're terrified of accusations they're betraying Brexit. It's the same in so many areas. They're hiding their successes and yelling about their weaknesses.

The very definition of out of touch elite

Where on earth the Observer going? Their piece on how sports personalities fare after exit lists Beckham favourably but says “er, Gary Lineker”. Tortoise means this hesitation inserted and reflective of hardening right wing and populist ideology. Desperate times.

This kid runs circles around the reporter

Trump says Russian President Vladimir Putin is “particularly tough to negotiate with.” Yeah, particularly when you don’t apply any pressure.

Clowns.

Just say it.

“See you in court.”

Deeply sound. And also clever of Carney.

"We're the ones who built the damn table, we should have a seat at it!" Nathan Sage is running for US Senate in Iowa-- a state that Obama won just a couple of cycles back. Let's take big swings, and challenge Republicans everywhere.To support Nathan's campaign, donate here: actl.ink/ntsgcmpln?re...

Tip: if you don’t like al fresco dining perhaps don’t live in Soho.

The period, during the pandemic, when Old Compton Street became a pedestrian zone, with tables and chairs, was a vision of what Soho *could* have been (provided that accessibility was guaranteed for wheelchair users)

Oh.

Headed back from the 10th Our Ocean Conference, where I was the sole US official.

100 days of increased costs. 100 days of broken promises. 100 days of embarrassing national security blunders.

The three C’s of Trump’s first 100 Days: 📈 Chaos 📈 Corruption 📈 Costs

Congratulations to Canada's Liberal Party and Mark Carney on their big election win, and a special thank you to Donald Trump for turning a runaway victory for the Conservatives into an upset win for the Liberals 👍

I never thought I’d say this, but thank you Donald Trump.

Strategic genius, eh. Not only has Trump achieved nothing with his bullying of Canada, he has ensured the return of a Liberal government that will stand up to him. This is where day-to-day leverage-seeking gets him.

It used to be a newspaper

Great time with my friend @briantylercohen.bsky.social at the Substack New Media Party event in DC. Independent media is not just the future... it's the present!

Tucker Carlson's not doing a very good job at pushing back against the allegation he promotes pro-Russian propaganda:

Trump is an appeaser. Trump is a useful idiot. Trump is Putin's poodle. Trump will go down in ignimony as an enemy of democracy, an enemy of decency and an enabler of a murderous fucking tyrant. But none of that helps Ukraine. Ukraine needs allies NOW and Europe and the UK need to STEP UP. NOW
