Happily retired aircraft engineer. Love my kids and Grandkids and hoping for a healthy retirement, health is crucially important. Labour man, Keir supporter, Celtic man, humanist, Trump & Farage are abominations. Not interested in Bit coin shite. No DM’s.
Folks from the Women’s March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE. #ICE #AbolishICE #Resistance #WomensMarch Credit @womensmarch.com

The BBC hate us so much that they only had me on Question Time 38 times and have had Zia Yusuf on 8 times in less than two years, despite the fact that nobody even voted for him. Now that's what I call bias.
JUST IN: Trump is scrambling to stop the BBC from digging into the finances of his business empire after a judge ordered him to hand over records in his $10B defamation lawsuit against the network.

It probably won't happen but the prospect of Badenoch leading a Tory general election campaign is a joy. Every time she leaves X and enters the real world, she is hilariously inept and crass.
Solar panels are going up on schools across the country - including Bristol’s own Avonmouth Primary. This Government is taking practical action to help schools generate their own clean electricity, reduce energy costs and support our transition to net zero.
The reality is that this is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to force Ukrainian capitulation and this is how he wants to do it.
Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces said 13 energy hubs across occupied southern Ukraine were struck on August 4-5. The campaign has now hit 201 energy targets since July 1, including 750 kV, 330 kV, 150 kV and 110 kV substations in Mariupol, Melitopol, Berdiansk and Crimea. #Ukraine
Ukrainian long-range drones have struck the 200,000 sqm Wildberries logistics center in Russia's Tula region, burning the facility to the ground. The site was planned for expansion to 300,000 sqm and intended to employ 15,000 people.
Sad to see LibDems jump on the prison panic bandwagon. "We know some prisoners must be released earlier, but not them, or them, or him, or her, or them, etc..." is an infinite loop that destroys public trust. Also potentially dangerous, as it throttles arrest/prosecution/sentencing at the other end.
A highly intelligent Black man was elected president, winning decisively. He is known for his decency, humor, kindness, eloquence, and global respect. His goal as president was to secure the best outcomes for the nation he served. A complete contrast to what you have now.
These people are criminal thugs and should be treated as such.

Whoops - another Farage fantasy bites the dust He could have asked his lawyers & the French first ... "France Rejects Reform UK's Royal Navy Migrant Plan Paris says the proposal would [be] - A violation of French sovereignty - A breach of maritime law - A breach of international law" via Watan News
Republicans are calling Blanche's deal a "compromise." But Trump's previous tax returns still won't be audited. Trump + his sons + the Trump Org are still immune from new audits. The $1.8B slush fund is "rescinded" but Trump wants it back. Trump is rigging his own tax break.
What, you say serial harassers Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are taking steps to encourage *more* harassment? How utterly not shocking.

Badenoch threw her support behind him & said: "But I am not giving him a national platform, it is a local platform." The Tory leader said she has a "much higher threshold for what it takes to be a Conservative MP". Grant Shapps: “Ah well, that’s alright then” www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Since MAGA brought up Covid again..Some MAGA brains thought this was a good argument.
That’s fine Kemi. Back a neo-Nazi if you want, but come November don’t you dare lecture the rest of us.
Those who've known dementia and Alzheimers in the family will recognise the state of Trump. He's now past the stage of lying about facts and entered his own reality. He says anything he believes to be true at any given moment. Sadly, he has no-one to care for his welfare enough to intervene.
