The crisis at Royal Mail is completely man-made. Let's take it back into public ownership and reinvest parcel profits into hiring staff to deliver letters It would cost just 0.1% of the UK national debt to buy back Royal Mail

Hegseth announces "Fortress America," which will study "survivability"

I would just like to announce to the world that the band that pulled out of Ed Sherran’s Zionist concerts a few weeks ago over the Macklemore farce has now joined the Garvaghy Rd Fleadh tent. BEOGA ! 🎶🎻🇵🇸 @unamullally.bsky.social @tonygroves.bsky.social

On hidden camera, pardon brokers Jack Burkman & Jacob Wohl told a 60 Minutes source $300,000 could help a felon get a presidential pardon. Three hundred grand. Wild. When a pardon has a price tag, justice is a luxury item & you can't afford it. #TrumpsCorruptCongress #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

BREAKING: 94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside Andy Burnham’s Labour Party conference. UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns. Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.

That's not possible. In 2025, the smartest person in history took complete control of federal government IT and his "DOGE" modernized and secured everything. Right? Surely that wasn't just a data heist by a billionaire white nationalist and a bunch of 20-year-old freaks from neo-Nazi chatrooms?

Hackers Say They Stole Thousands of Sensitive F.B.I. Personnel Records

The compromise, if confirmed, would be the latest in a string of cybersecurity failures at the F.B.I., which said it was investigating the matter.

Why does the BBC have as one of its lead news stories this morning another Britain-hating interview with Jim 'the UK has been colonised by immigrants' Ratcliffe? What public interest is this serving?

So much of the right these days have a massive patriotism problem. This guy: - is a tax exile (left long before this govt) - hates his own country while complaining he doesn’t get big enough subsidies from it - laments the manufacturing hit from a Brexit he supported www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Billionaire Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe says he has lost confidence in UK

Ineos founder Sir Jim Ratcliffe tells the BBC he thinks the country is "on the slide" and calls for more investment in the North Sea.

This is insanity. Irish Presidency's draft text of amendments to the GDPR allows training & operation of any AI without safeguards & tough legal basis (under "legitimate interest" a company claims what it is doing is OK. Up to you to find out and challenge in court). This is a free pass for US Tech.

Breaking: In a potentially landmark decision, a major data centre project in Mayo has had planning permission overturned over climate concerns. More on @virginmedianews.bsky.social this evening.

Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum. Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

Ed Sheeran's agent: Ok fuck me that was a wild few days. Still we should be over the worst of it now...

Just read this in a single sitting and I think I need a bit of thinking time now. Raw and stark and baffled by the hollow, tinny strangeness of it all. Basically, another unflinching study of male desperation to put alongside his other books. Really bastard good. As always. Bloody hell.

I'm just going to keep yelling this louder and louder until it clicks: weird overpaid AI nerds hand-wringing about human extinction are trying to distract you from the extremely deadly and serious harms they are causing yesterday, today and tomorrow www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Some racists called the cops on their Mexican neighbors for having a party and it backfired BEAUTIFULLY.

"At first people thought this was some kind of edgy, satirical comedy troupe. They called themselves actual Nazis, said Lang was a fake Nazi, and wore red arm bands with swastikas...People walking by stopped dead in their tracks as they tried to figure out just what the actual fuck was going on. "
