@jamesfoster83.bsky.social “In a social media post, he said the position with the Conservative Party's Culture and Integration Commission would focus on advising on how to prevent young men from being radicalised.”
Former neo-Nazi withdraws name as council candidate for the Conservative party - but will be an adviser to the party instead www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
I could have sworn "stolen valor" was a thing Turns out it was just something else Republicans never actually gave a shit about Draft-dodging PoS
Hey guys, Perez Hilton performed self-harm and may have attempted a suicide on TikTok and screenshots are flying around, so if you are sensitive, go put "Perez Hilton" in your mutes right now.
Trump on domestic abuser Max Miller: “He’s a good person.” Trump on trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell: “I wish her well.” Trump on the Pope: “He needs to shut up!”
When the National Autistic Society is calling out your misinformation about autism then you have *seriously* overstepped because they are usually quite careful about how they react publicly - especially when it's someone like Dame Uta Frith.
We'll be The National Autistic Society's Anger Translator: "F*** you, Uta Frith—stop trying to use your expired authority on autism to hurt autistic people, you absolute plonker." *Frith published a new paper wrongly claiming autism is overdiagnosed. NAS response: www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/n...
Descending four steps like he's navigating a minefield.
Trump gingerly goes down the stairs of Marine One and staggers across the tarmac with what looks like a slight limp
Imagine thinking so little of yourself that you just let this half sentient rotten potato talk to you like this. I don't care if he's president, have some self respect.
Trump says Jeanine Pirro "choked" and then snaps at a reporter who asks if her job is safe: "Don't ever talk again"
But Trump doesn't think Miller should resign or drop out of the race.
Has anybody checked that it's NOT Grant Shapps?
Rather puts Grant Shapps being rejected as a Conservative candidate into perspective.
Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
ok how many GOP members of congress are secretly dying/dead? this is getting out of hand
😳 Rep. Pete Stauber indicates there's something gravely wrong with Tom Emmer's health: "You have no idea what Congressman Emmer is dealing with right now. If you did, you would've never made that comment. He's fighting for his damn life today!"
Any news on Trump’s Board of Peace? Asking for the idiots who paid to join
MacFarlane: We are near the new gold-plated statues the Trump administration unveiled near Memorial Circle, Memorial Bridge, and the Lincoln Memorial. It’s really, really gold.…

So the purported leader of the free world is spending 70% of his mental energy on projects... ...he's *totally screwed up*. Process that. He screwed up the Helipad. The Reflecting Pool. The East Wing. DC's bronze statues. Can anyone doubt now how added and incompetent he is?
The garbage, utterly f*cked up White House we have because of our garbage, utterly f*cked up president And you're paying for every cent of this nonsensical vanity-project slop White House reporters say Trump spends 70% of his mental energy focusing on this sh*t rather than you
Rod Liddle was 66? Bloody hell, hate ages you. I thought he was 80.
He also wrote this 23 years ago and somehow his career remained unaffected www.theguardian.com/society/2003...
Rod liddle had a police caution for domestic violence against his then pregnant girlfriend. He once wrote in one of his columns that he could never be a teacher because his urge to rape children was too strong. He is now dead. Obviously no kipper for him.
My train to Glasgow is having to terminate at Preston due to *swans* on the line. Yes, really. 🦢 (Luckily I’m getting off at Preston)
Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him
Realising a job I want to apply for closed today at quarter to midnight (not tomorrow as I had a reminder in my phone for) . . . Cue extreme panic and probably a lot of typos and a very not great application but I did hit submit at 11.59pm so it went through!
Antoine Dupont becomes the first men’s rugby player to have their own signature boot, I think, with the launch of the new Adidas AD9. Ellie Kildunne is the only other player in recent years that had one, to my knowledge, and that was with Canterbury.
Trump allegedly just won his 43rd Club Championship today at one of his courses.
So weird that he only wins at his own courses

Hard to keep track of the number of times he's declared victory in his illegal war-of-choice. #86-47
