Russian propagandists have a convenient habit of showing the devastation caused by Russia while omitting the inconvenient fact that Russia is the one launching the drones and missiles striking Ukrainian civilians.

"The electrical installation course requires knowledge of algebra and trigonometry, plus mastery of a wiring regs handbook that is twice as long as Pride and Prejudice" Important read on vocational ed from 14. You need a really solid foundation in English, maths & science for many jobs in trades.

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.

Blatant robbery. Direct transfer of wealth from the people to corporations. The inflation is all intentional.

After being rejected 4 times, Thames Water's creditors are now submitting a 5th proposal to keep the failing utility in private hands. This time, they're promising to increase public control. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. 1/2

Awww….That idiot (aka Putain de Merde) in the White House missed the legal deadline for screwing up birthright citizenship. I liked the cartoon. I don’t care who boots him out of our country.

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.

Jeezus f**king Christ... In essence that ruling says that any time your side doesn't win an election, just ransack the capitol, and everything will be okay...

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.

I'm not sure I've ever read, nor could there ever be, a better summary of how the 2007/08 financial crash came about than this from Russ. I knew Russ is a great writer (I have 2 of his books) but the way he's summarised all the salient points and how they link together is quite excellent. 1/2

Reform UKs plan to use the Royal Navy to intercept migrant boats in the Channel brilliantly taken apart by ... er ... Nigel Farage

Badenoch says "they haven't shown any remorse" but as evidence says "we saw them sniggering when they were sentenced". Surely we'd need to know their attitude *since* they've served their sentence to know if they've shown remorse Kemi. #r4today

#BBCNews They finally asked the French what they think about Nigel Farage's utter nonsense. It was clearly bullshit designed to stop the media talking about his numerous scandals.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
