Looks like my trip to America is going to go swimmingly 🥳

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Actually using your military to physically destroy the thing you tried and failed to convince them not to do is not "deterrence", it's just war 🤷‍♂️

Fucks sakes I’m going to America in two months too

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

well at least the United States has an experienced and capable foreign policy, defense, and intelligence team in place to handle the aftermath of this decision.

Fuck. My. Life.

I’m dead 😂

Newsom’s social media team is killing it. (This isn’t an old picture. It’s from right now. I asked.) 😂😂😂😂

Trump v Musk: the two worst people in the world are finally having a big, beautiful breakup | Arwa Mahdawi

It’s fucking glorious watching them rip into each other, isn’t it?! #Musk #Trump

When your two most hated people are fighting 🥹

Russia was planning operation Zeus to murder thousands of civilians across Ukraine on the night of June 1 to get an upper hand with negotiations in Istanbul, that was until Ukraine’s operation web declawed them and destroyed nearly half their strategic bombers. Russia aborted the mission.

Donald Trump just posted that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced with clones. While not true, this statement may be a metaphor for the delusional dementia that Biden experienced in office. by Jake Tapper

You may think you're not very good at your job but you probably didn't buy an election, buy yourself a job in government, did so badly that everyone on the internet bullied you and then got fired in 3 months so give yourself a break.

THREAD 🧵 Internal State Department records show that months of warnings have become a reality: The Trump administration’s sudden withdrawal of foreign humanitarian aid has brought about death, violence and unrest. 1/

Well payed, Harvard, well played. Harvard offers FREE American Government course.

I am sat in hospital waiting for my theatre slot and I am really HANGRY.

I can’t even bear to watch the shit show

He’s such a CUNT

Strangers in our own country? New research finds 50% of Brits feel disconnected & 44%sometimes feel like strangers - but it's a mistake to tie that just to immigration, with the cost of living, social media, town centre/high street decline & the legacy of covid big drivers.

insane moment in world history right here

This is hardly the most important part of this, but I do think it’s worth noting that if President Obama, specifically, had accepted a half billion dollar gift from a Muslim-majority country, no one in right-wing media would be alive, because all of them would have suffered on-air aneurysms.

Full text of US-UK "deal" confirms: 1. *Not* a "free trade" deal. 2. For UK, largely successful damage limitation: limiting US tariffs on cars/steel for not very much. But damage still done. 3. For Trump, pretty much complete climbdown. (1/3) assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/681d32...

Hot take of the day: Pope Leo XIV may not be a US citizen. Becoming the head of state of another country might strip away citizenship, though the issue hasn't been formally decided by a court yet.

Vance going to meet the pope, the pope -immediately- dying, and the conclave then -immediately- electing a new pope who’s pretty unknown except for tweets about how much he dislikes Vance, is some Shakespearean revenge drama and I am here for it

There was a lot of hyperbole about the trade deal today, especially linking it to the importance of something like VE day. The truth is, from the UK point of view, it’s better than where we were 24 hours ago, but still altogether less good than where we were pre-Trump 2.

This is going to be fun.

The most recent retweet from the new pope is 👀.

Donald Trump is no longer the most powerful American in the world... #LeoXIV

Looks like the new Holy Father isn't a fan of JD Vance.

Wow we have an American pope. Trump is going to be unbearable
