I present to you the next deputy director of the FBI!

There is a strong case for higher defence spending *if* additional resources deliver useful outcomes. UK politics, media focuses on the case for spending input & % of GDP but does not apply anything like the scrutiny & challenge to what we spend on defence that is expected on health spending

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps. This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]

It's not drugs. He's obsessed with the idea of people collecting paychecks for doing fake jobs because that is literally the existence of him and rich CEO's like him.

Another site associated with the saint is a well in Stoke St Milburga. It's a tranquil place and the site of water-based miracles. Milburga represents many things. she is a symbol of female autonomy, she implores us to be more than societal expectations. #Folklore #Shropshire #Shropshireday

Mainstream media is careful to tell a very different story. Believe your eyes, not your ears.

Where are the Democrats but also Where are the churches Where are the celebrities Where are the NGOs Where are the Universities Where are professional groups like AMA Where are the athletes Where are the unions What people/groups do and don’t do for next month determines our collective future

Federal workers began receiving emails Saturday asking them to describe what they did last week — as Elon Musk warned on social media that, if employees fail to respond, it will be taken as a resignation Imagine the outrage if this happened in the UK www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

It was reported this week that British special forces officers vetoed asylum for their Afghan colleagues, because those soldiers had seen them commit war crimes against civilians and might be called to testify against them in court. As far as I can see, nobody who matters even blinked.

New line-up with Marquis, Lloyd and Oliver up front. A must win.

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

The skull measurers are back baby.

“Up to 113 students and staff in the UK have faced disciplinary investigations linked to pro-Palestine protest activity across at least 28 universities since the 7 October attacks”

The thing about bullies is, they won't relent. You give into them once for a bout of peace; but what'll you give up? Above all, no one can guarantee they won't keep returning to shake you down some more. The only proper course of action is a resolute rejection, while striving for self-sufficiency.

Any countries building Starlink into their telecom systems should be thinking twice right now.

Last week, JD Vance gave Europe an ultimatum: it can align with the Trump administration, or face its wrath. To comply, Europe needs to embrace the extreme right, repeal tech rules the US “will not accept,” and allow Silicon Valley to dominate its market. It should tell the US to take a hike.

Centrists: why can’t you lefties co-operate with others? Soft left Labour cllrs: here’s us running a council with Lib Dems & Greens, to do good stuff in a town in the shires, how’s that? Centrists (aka Starmer’s Labour HQ): *Not like that!* Stop that now!

UK energy industry made £483bn profit since 2020. OFGEM's marginal pricing rules guarantee profits to the most inefficient/costly producer. 1 in 5 of all deaths are people in fuel poverty – including 110,000 pensioners. No curbs on profiteering. Real wages cut. WFP cut. Cost of living soaring.

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason." www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p...

More evidence of harms inflicted by private equity on US healthcare. Usual pattern: profiteering, hiking debt, low investment, poor patient care and safety. Yet UK NHS being handed to private equity without any evidence, 30%-40% public money vanishes in profits. Money buys less.

Genocide denier David Lammy seriously says in a speech that "at the heart of my government’s approach to foreign policy lies the belief that regional and geopolitical stability can only be delivered through respect for international law and the principles of the UN Charter."
