Previous US administrations prevented Netenyahu pursuing his lunatic plans. This one has been utterly humiliated by him, having to play catch up with an actor it cannot control or condemn. What we're seeing here is the reality of US decline.

Political violence must always be condemned.

Lewis Collins and John Conteh, on a charity walk, stopped me in central Birmingham and asked directions to the Holiday Inn. I had no idea where it was. The weren’t happy with me.

Mission Accomplished? 🤷🏻‍♂️ #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

No wonder arch spiv Nigel Farage is so enamoured with cryptocurrency - it's one big scam. theguardian.com/technology/2... theguardian.com/politics/202...

Remember the recent finding of an association between Epstein-Barr virus & dev. of multiple sclerosis? The epidemiologist who discovered that link has been ordered to stop all his funded research, at Harvard's school of PH. T., RFK & Bhattacharya are pro-disease. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

Oh.

Phang: We don’t need the Ten Commandments hanging in Texas schools. What we need is common-sense gun legislation—so the kids can live. If my kid goes to a public school in Texas and they can’t come home alive, I don’t give a shit about the Ten Commandments being posted on the wall.

The Telegraph has disappeared this from their website, possibly out of mortal shame. You know what to do... (Link is to archive copy. The internet never forgets.) archive.is/2025.05.25-1...

Anyone collating a book of his gaffs? Will be a bestseller!

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

This is not satire … Telegraph www.telegraph.co.uk/money/earn-3...

Brilliant idea! Next they’ll invent seatbelts and call them “freedom straps.”

When we were a member state of the EU we were a rule maker Mr Bowie. You made us a rule taker. #r4today

They really are vile people.

Beneath contempt.

I checked. It’s real.

The US State Department warns people not to travel to countries like the United States:

A great example of using (very) small area geographies to generate headline-grabbing statistics. Bradford Central is a mid-level super output area, one of 63 in the Bradford local authority area. It accounts for 1.2% of the population. 81% of Bradford residents were born in the UK (Census 2021).

Taking a bribe in a very public way doesn't mean you aren't corrupt, it means your corruption is shameless.

Brexit promised to “take back control of our borders” But it also created huge labour shortages So, govt issued huge numbers of visas to fill the gaps. It ended reciprocal asylum arrangements with the EU So, crossings went up. Govt response? “Take back control of our borders” Such a ruinous deceit.

My grandmas were immigrants, my mum & sisters in law are immigrants; my sister & nephews are migrants. My kids study maths, Shakespeare, dance, act & score tries alongside the kids of immigrants. My dad’s life was saved by immigrants. Immigrants have made us richer, wiser, stronger Win the fight

Good thread by @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on Palantir in NHS. Read also my newsletter from yesterday which reveals head of Palantir UK in middle of UK-US trade deal talks…of which we still don’t know the details. Why not?? open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Amen to this! 💙

Toughening migration rules doesn’t challenge Reform. It validates them.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

A shocking story. www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

The time has come. EVERYONE who follows me, please repost, share and spread this fundraiser to provide legal defense for whistleblowers in America, including my friend Miles Taylor, who Trump has ordered to be investigated for treason, for the “crime” of criticizing him. Please donate if you can. 🧵

Robert Reich is just on it, daily, thank you sir!

I really wish reporters would stop saying that there is an effort by the Trump administration to combat antisemitism. It is quite the opposite. There is an effort to foment antisemitism. forward.com/fast-forward...

Post-Brexit plan would allow British and European 18 to 30-year-olds to travel and work freely. A small and welcome step in undoing the Brexit damage. Must extend it to all, as well as free movement of goods Rejoin the EU. Better than being enslaved by Trump.

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

WISCONSIN: The chair of the elections commission, a lawyer, breaks down what actually happened using the actual complaint. Arresting judges like this is a wild fast-forwarding of our plunge into authoritarianism.
