NEW: Macron has to interrupt Trump and correct a lie about Europe’s contribution. TRUMP: “Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back." MACRON: “No. We provided real money. To be clear.” Trump clearly not used to get fact-checked live.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Dear Germany, two thoughts when it comes to your elections 🇩🇪 🇬🇧 Look what happened when the UK voted for Brexit 🇺🇸 Look what Happened when the US voted again for Trump Populists promise the world, and deliver pretty much nothing other than more hate and division. Chose well and good luck 🙏

Eek! Musk just ordered millions of US federal employees to justify their value by Monday night or face the sack. They have to explain to DOGE in 5 bullets what they accomplished last week, and cc their manager. It used to be that the USA reserved fireworks for 4th July. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Le Monde, "French MPs vote through the left's wealth tax on the ultra-rich" Your reminder that a 2% wealth tax on those with £10 million, affecting 0.04% of the UK population, would raise £24 billion a year You have to wonder why Labour chose not to do this..

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Oh so Farage didn’t comment on Trump’s betrayal of Zelensky and Ukraine - not because he was swamped with Clacton constituency work. God no. He was on a plane to the US and it was night time. Hahaha! More like waiting for further instructions from his despot paymasters… news.sky.com/story/farage...

Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent… A relentless, ruinous stupidity. (Private Eye)

I will never understand how this wasn’t the end for either of these deranged brats. Every milquetoast brownnoser who elevated or defended them hoping for a crumb from their unearned power should be ashamed. You knew. The evidence was right there. But you liked standing near the big boys.
