Grant Shapps begins by saying defence is an area that should transcend politics, then goes on to make the most spurious partisan points you will hear today, including... that Labour should have done all this twelve months ago when, erm, <checks notes> Grant Shapps was still Defence Secretary. ~AA

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

Dear Keir Starmer & co, You could stop the small boats, smash the gangs, and take back government control over entry to the UK, very quickly if you took up the French offer of a centre to process claims in northern France. If it was the boats and the deaths you wanted to stop. #r4today

🇺🇦 “This was truly a unique operation. And now I can say: the ‘office’ for this op inside Russia was located right next to an FSB headquarters. 117 drones were used, striking 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers at key airbases. Our teams were safely extracted in advance." — Zelensky

It's Monday. You might hate your job but at least you're not a Russian general about to explain to me how 1/3 of my strategic aviation got blown up in a morning by some cheap Alibaba drones.

Why is Starmer wittering on about war footings? Ukraine is destroying Russian weapons much MUCH faster than Russia's factories can replenish them. Russia's stance may be more and more aggressive, but its actual capacity to wage war is much lower than before its 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Posturing.

Farage last week pledged to launch a crypto "revolution" in the UK. Incidentally, his biggest donor is a crypto investor...

Farage now claims that Scottish Labour Leader Anas Sarwar vowed, "We are the south Asian community. We are going to take over the country & take over the world." @bbcjamescook.bsky.social rightfully states that Sarwar did not say anything to that effect. Despicable race-baiting lies from Farage.

People are still poring over satellite photos and video footage, but it looks like 20%+ of Russia's strategic Tu-95 bomber fleet was damaged or destroyed in yesterday's audacious Ukrainian attacks. That makes the whole world a LOT safer. Less shadowing work for the RAF too, Russia can't spare them!

🔴Nigel Farage’s ‘£7 Billion DEI Savings’ Don’t Actually Exist The media is widely reporting Reform UK’s claims they could save billions by cutting equality schemes. The real figure appears to be around 250 times smaller bylinetimes.com/2025/05/30/n...

Ukraine smuggle drones into Russian territory, hid them in the floorboards of wooden houses, enlisted Russian truck drivers to unwittingly transport them, then launched an attack which destroyed or seriously damaged over 1/3rd of all Russian missile carriers www.politico.eu/newsletter/b...

Nigel Farage knows that the cost of the rich avoiding and evading taxes is at least 10X MORE than the cost of migrants But he chooses to blame migrants not millionaires Why? Because he's a tax-avoiding millionaire, of course! #BlameMillionairesNotMigrants #TaxTheRich meme via Tim Longson

Not going to pretend I know much about drones, but I do think we need as many as the second and third largest drone fleets in the world combined.
