🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether. He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

NEW: Nigel Farage is once again in America to fundraise for Donald Trump’s Republican party, with latest data showing he’s spent more than 800 hours - the equivalent of 2.5 days a week - on outside employment since election.

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

Pause military aid and intelligence to Ukraine = Putin ratchets up attack and Ukraine gets bombarded by missiles. Raise tariffs = economic downturn and prices up. These are obvious consequences to foolish actions… not lessons to be learnt on the job.

What a terrible, sickening insult to the 1,000’s of European troops killed and injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. They were there to stand should to shoulder with America against dictatorships. If we weren’t there, those would have been additional American casualties. JD Vance needs to apologise.

this Times headline is very misleading as the following pars - in the same article - explains more fair to say “a handful of packed state schools have no room for private pupils says 2022/23 data”

Packed state schools have no room for private pupilsOfficial government estimates suggest that the moves will lead to a drop-off in private school pupil numbers of 37,000. Given the increase in fees, 35,000 are expected to seek a space in the state sector instead. Ministers have stressed that nationally there is enough capacity to absorb any transfer in pupils, and that thousands of children every year move between the state and private system. Nationally, there are 578,000 unfilled places in primary schools and 465,000 unfilled places in secondary schools. Some 83 per cent of primary schools and 77 per cent of secondaries have at least one spare space. However, figures released

Stepping back from the two big stories of the moment, pretty much all of the platforms where the Southport killer indulged his passions for violence, genocide & murder are owned & controlled by men who were in the prime seats at Donald Trump’s inauguration yesterday. And they all *hate* regulation…
