George III’s power was limited by a constitution, established laws and conventions and in actuality, Parliament held significant power, controlling the budget & having the right to pass laws, which the King could not unilaterally override. So… congratulations, America. You’ve out-kinged yourself!

The more you know of the Musks the more you realise the less power and influence they should have. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

People don't understand what a monumental achievement the EU is. For thousands of years the continent that would tear itself apart every few decades, the EU stopped all that. We should have thanked them every day for being allowed in, instead we decided to fuck it all off.

Very sad news about the former referee Uriah Rennie passing away. He made history as the First black referee in the Premier league and a top class one at that. He officiated in over 300 games. RIP Uriah. 😔

For all its obsession over ‘DOGE’, we had a massive example of government fraud and waste recently - it was called the PPE scandal - and the right totally ignored it

Yesterday was Lou Macari’s 76th birthday. With the rumours of Becks getting a knighthood I hope that Lou also finally gets the recognition he deserves. For nearly a decade he’s been providing emergency accommodation for the homeless & continues to do so.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Disabled people shouldn’t have to prove they matter. They shouldn’t be forced to justify their existence. They shouldn’t be treated as burdens for needing medical care or social support. We have value just as we are. Disability is not a moral failing. It can & will happen to everyone

New in PN: Adam Serwer on America's "new dark age" "They see this as a long-term investment in a more ignorant population reliant on sources of information they can control — a docile population that can be easily manipulated." — @adamserwer.bsky.social

Those who have a disability have just as much a right to education as any other human being. Grotesque decision. I say this as a special needs teacher of 18 years. If I believed it was useful, I’d curse everyone who support this.

"I was this pedophile's biggest supporter until he was personally mean to me" seems like a bit of an own goal.

If what Musk is posting about Trump tonight is true, it begs the question of why he was happy to sit on this information while he was in government. I know many people are enjoying this cage fight, but what a sickening display of the morals behind this grotesque political alliance.
