"I'm disappointed by it, to put it mildly." "I felt the opposition could have just [said]: 'yes, we will all come together behind you'." Baroness Louise Casey, author of the Government's audit on grooming gangs, condemns the "politicisation" of the conversation. #Newsnight

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

I doubt anyone will see me post, but this needs to be known... if you have a visible following please repost 💙🔥💙 Admitting he wants "his people... aka US " to behave like north Korea for Kim Jong Un.🤬

Ahhh New Haven

My wife is threatening to kick me out of the house because of my obsession with acting like a news anchor. More on this after the break.

I think this might actually be my favourite live performance ever of all time. I love how Gail Ann Dorsey goes back to playing nonchalant bass in a kind of ‘what?’ way like she hasn’t just delivered the most incredible, powerful vocal…. youtu.be/U_h_qKX8dwY?...

You know, it would be a good day for some patriotic anonymous government worker who's likely to get fired anyway to release those unredacted Epstein files.

“Brexit has shattered confidence in Britain’s economy” And yet the politicians who championed Brexit still strut around like they’re owed power, rather than a heavy dose of proper scrutiny and public disgust for the damage they’ve collectively done.

Republicans are feeling exhausted by Elon and Trump? "Welcome to our world!"

This is upsetting.

Kamala was right, again.

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

“How to stop an overflowing toilet” should not have a 30 second commercial before it on YouTube.

The government needs to take seriously the flood of US far right money, including to anti-abortion causes, into the UK. There is strong political support for decriminalisation of abortion, but a significant inequality of financial power in the debate hansard.parliament.uk/lords/2025-0...

Nigel Farage still insisting that he has "never ever, ever suggested anything other than the NHS should be free". Here's what he's said in the past behind closed doors

Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG7C...

We have an official ruling

Leicester County Council Reform UK have said no to electronic calendars on Microsoft Outlook because they keep missing meetings. Half of their cabinet missed a meeting as they didn’t check their emails.

He’s going full Epstein files conspiracy theory 👀 👀

I got no popcorn left at this point.
