If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Great use of taxpayer funds.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

"Every night, a bomb flies above my house. A bomb, rocket [missile], Shahed - every night," - Ukrainian boxing champion Oleksandr #Usyk invited President Trump to visit #Ukraine and witness the Russian attacks that take place every night.

Elon Musk, who until a matter of days ago was a Trump administration employee, is now alleging that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files.

What’s supposed to happen? If my daughter is out and masked men grab her, claiming they’re ICE, drag her away w/out letting her prove she’s a citizen… w/out calling me, her dad… what is she supposed to do? Does she not have the right to fight back, as we have taught her, to free herself. Run? 1.

I'm so old, I remember when 'British jobs for British workers' was a National Front slogan

The European Union is ready to impose new sanctions against Russia if Moscow doesn’t agree to a ceasefire by the end of the day "The clock is ticking.If Moscow doesn’t accept the demand,preparations will be set in motion for fresh sanctions,"the Federal Government Spokesperson Stefan Kornelius said

My restaurant review in the Yorkshire Post today is the Bay Horse in Market Weighton (they do babbie’s heads!) and Pub of the Week is Coast in Hull.

We warned you... thoughts and prayers for your business.

First Canada then Hull.

Lib Dems continue to zero in on their anti-Trump message, reacting to Canadian election Ed Davey says:

There it is, in a nutshell.

Thinking of voting Reform UK because you want a change? Be careful what you wish for – Reform UK are salespeople offering simplistic solutions that come with baggage that would cost you and the country @cliffmitchell.bsky.social @centralbylines.co.uk

You have to wonder what Mark Carney's other two wishes were after rubbing that bottle

big scoop from FT colleagues: Apple plans to shift the assembly of all US-sold iPhones to India as soon as next year, according to people familiar with the matter, as President Donald Trump’s trade war forces the tech giant to pivot away from China www.ft.com/content/c2be...

📍In London to prepare the EU-UK Summit with Keir Starmer. We are friends. And we are Europeans. It means that we share interests and democratic values. And that we are ready to face global challenges as like-minded partners.

Russia and Putin's peace initiatives in action. #StayWithUkraine

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

@angusyoung61.bsky.social aha! Found you. Good to see you again last night.

The Kyiv Independent asked Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars to share their stories about Crimea and what would it mean for them if the U.S. would acknowledge and support Russia's annexation of their homeland.

This is what we all feared. The United States and Russia bullying brave President Zelensky into a terrible deal. Time for the United Kingdom and Europe to stand up to Trump and seize the Russian assets so we can go it alone.

Well now- @stephenkb.bsky.social Stephen Bush of the @FT is predicting that we will win #WECA! It’s a tight 4 or 5 way race so every vote will matter! #Oli4WECA #LibDems

OMG

⚡️Witkoff spreads Kremlin narratives, has no mandate to discuss Ukrainian territory, Zelensky says. “I believe Mr. Witkoff has adopted the strategy of the Russian side,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said. “Consciously or not, he is spreading Russian narratives."

Reform UK is a Pressure Group.

Paddling the Severn with @HelenMorganLibDem.bsky.social, I was strictly told not to fall in. After what water companies have been dumping here, I didn't need convincing! Ofwat is failing badly. We need a tough new Clean Water Authority that actually holds the water companies to account.

Pauline Davidson, Reform UK candidate for Amble West, Northumberland. Replies to a supporter who is calling Muslims “walking letterboxes” and claims where he lives (Cyprus) has “none of that Islam bullshit”. Her response? “We need people like you on our side”.

I heard a knobhead in the pub saying that maybe he's imagining it, but he feels as if he's in a 70s horror film because of the way people stand and glare at his TESLA when he drives it through the village. He's not imagining it. We've got a WhatsApp group.

Watch Nigel Farage trying to row back on his relationship with Donald Trump. ➡️ Calls the tariffs excessive (All those Reform UK supporters full-throat supporting them, jokes on you). ➡️ States he doesn’t talk to Trump as much as he used to. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/farage...
