I think JD Vance accusing Rory Stewart of having a low IQ is like a serial killer saying you have anger management issues.

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

It’s not possible to claim state benefits on the basis of a self-diagnosed illness. If Blair doesn’t know that, I wonder why. If Blair does know that, but nevertheless demonises claimants, I wonder why. What a contemptible individual.

Another 19 dead Palestinians in a Gaza utterly and deliberately destroyed by Israel. That's more than the 16 dead Americans in a Los Angeles partially and accidentally destroyed by fire. But don't expect Gaza to replace LA at the top of the news any time soon. News values, eh?

It looks like something from War of the Worlds, but it’s the 143-year-old Herd Groyne lighthouse at the mouth of the Tyne at #SouthShields, not usually seen from the seaward side.

Again- Musk’s X posts are so deranged that everyone should be writing to their MPs …expressing concern that Musk is engaged in a disinformation campaign against the UK government - attempting to foment civil unrest in the UK and endanger the safety of politicians.

I was unexpectedly laid off from @motherjones.com on Friday the 13th. I’ve been deprived of direct access to my Google Drive, which contains seven years worth of work. I am also ineligible for unemployment. This is a terrible Christmas for me and my family. If you have leads for work, pls lmk.

The quality of dialogue in this inquisition of Mark Rylance in #WolfHall is of the calibre of Robert Bolt's Oscar-winning script for the interrogation of Paul Schofield in A Man for All Seasons.

I added the tealights to give it a more Christmassy feel, but all I think I’ve achieved it to create the world’s first festive decoration of a snowman being burned at the stake.

The Terrorism Act was not made law to ‘disappear’ the mother of a pro-Palestine protestor whose later charges had nothing to do with terrorism. This is an abuse of power. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...

And there it is. Netanyahu's govt has put sanctions on the Israeli newspaper Haaretz for its criticisms of Israel's behaviour. Sanctions include prohibiting all public institutions from communicating with the paper. This profoundly undermines democracy. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Donald Trump is allowed to file a motion to dismiss the hush money case, delaying any potential conviction. A New York judge approved the request. The justice system in America seems broken—anyone else would have been jailed by now. Once again, money and power take control.

Yvette Cooper says arresting Netanyahu 'isn't a matter for her' as the person IN CHARGE OF POLICE 🤯 Apparently, the arrest of an internationally-wanted (alleged) war criminal is "not a matter for [her] as home secretary". You couldn't make this up. www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2024...

Really really concerning how much traction Reform are getting. Labour are every bit as inept as predicted and are just not equipped to deal with noisy reactionary rhetoric from Badenoch and Farage.
