Even if this were true, wouldn’t it be even more problematic if senior officials were planning military actions in a place where anybody could let himself in?

I’ll never get tired of watching our allies call out his stup¡dity in his face — Donald Trump: “I’d like to have American companies back, but he’ll be fighting me…” PM Micheál Martin: “It’s a two-way street too and we are investing a lot more in America now.”

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Last night Rachel Maddow showed how Trump, who regularly boasts about conversations he has with world leaders, gets oddly squeamish about discussing his communications with Putin. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGRC7gQ...

'The American state has been captured by a group of people who do not see the world as we do, who are hostile to the world as we want it to be. We must see them for what they are to their credit they don’t pretend to be anything else. To our discredit we lie to ourselves that they do'. Excellent.

Transphobes: Some people regret gender affirming medical treatments. We should ban all gender affirming care! People are being brainwashed! Pooled results from 27 studies: 1% regret rate. Regret rate of knee replacement surgery: 6% - 30% depending on the study. Shall we ban them, too?

Having not read the sentencing remarks, I’m cautious about rushing to conclusions, but on its face Feathers McGraw appears to be a prime example of the rampant sentence inflation that has led to chronic overcrowding in our zoos and the unedifying spectacle of animals being released early.

G&S is not my personal cup of tea and that's fine. Fucking delighted though that as with the ghosts finale last year, the two most watched shows were SCRIPTED COMEDIES. Ffs commissioners, keep investing in it. And in short form scripted as a training ground. 9m didn't watch 2 celebs go on holiday.

I remember those mobile crematoria. At the time I thought they were for Russian soldiers KIA. It’s beyond frightening to think they were for mass extermination of the Ukrainian civilian population. And to think there are people who want to settle with Russia”and hand over parts of Ukraine. Horrible
