Worst. Episode. EVER.

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV experts discussed Trump's strategy towards Ukraine and the rest of Europe, and rejoiced about media coverage that depicts the American president as Putin's poodle. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWbt...

Do the people in the USA ever question the fact that they are the richest country in the world, but crime, healthcare, education, life expectancy are all like a 3rd world country. Do they not realize they are being robbed?

“One of the first things I did was Annie Hall, I played this guy who wants to drive into traffic. Then The Deer Hunter, where I shot myself in the head. I just got identified with, you know, people who are troubled … to say the least.” Gotta love Mr Walken. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

'We want...' Is that a royal 'We' or Liz and her imaginary friends 'We'?

"The point is almost never appreciated by the fanatics but they owe their health and freedom to the sanity of the society they affect to despise." I am applauding an article in The Times. It is forthright, pointed and not a word is wasted. I'm going for a lie down. archive.ph/4RFdr#select...

If Home Alone was filmed in 2025

Having promised not to raise tax the easy way (income tax, VAT, employee NICs) and discovered how difficult it is to raise it from people with wealth (non-DOMs, farm owners) Govt decides to take money off the poorest in society bit.ly/4gNbqSi cos there’s lots of them and they can’t move to Monaco

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

Fair points on both sides tbf

I can't see how this will fly...

#LUFC I still hold to the sentiment below. There is nothing inevitable about a Leeds automatic promo place but what a comeback tonight! Sheff Utd in a week without fear. bsky.app/profile/mard... Also, Sunderland deserve promotion way more than Bore-nley.

#LUFC Resilient or what? Rothwell and Struijk again! Love this team.

#LUFC FFFFFarke!!!!

#LUFC Maybe this'll quiet down the 'HMS Piss the League' crowd for a little while? @thesquareball.net 👀

#LUFC Firpo and Rodon nowhere to be seen. 😠

#BBCRadio4 #WomansHour torturing us almost daily with warbly, slightly out of tune, plinky guitar strumming live 'musicians'. Is there no-one brave enough in the WH production team to say 'No, enough!'?

In this new world, if you're not around the table, you're on the menu. If China, Russia, US are allowed to decide Europe's future, our future won't be ours. European leaders...lead! on.ft.com/3CQFzlI

I heard Major's urgent and cogent #BBCRadio4 interview today and it left me wondering how silent the usually voluble Tony Blair has been on Trump, Vance, Europe and the current international crisis. I guess there's too many consultancy contracts at stake? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A tale of 2 Chancellors One earnt an estimated £20M pounds from the sale of shares + "forgot" to declare the income. If he didn't forget it would be considered a very serious matter! The other one claimed £45 on expenses SEVENTEEN years ago Do you see what's happening here ?

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

"You're not my surreal Dad!"

Rachel Reeves MP: Reeves billed HBOS £9.40 for sweets for her team, £4.92 for biscuits for an away day and £1.34 for a birthday card. Owen Paterson MP: Paid £8K pcm by Randox Health. Lobbied for Randox who were given £480m of govt Covid funds without competitive bidding. Bloody politicians eh?

I'd say the biggest forces "undermining our nation from within" are the fake patriots loudly cheering on these attacks on our country by a hostile foreign government
