So, about those Eid prayers in London... "What's the highest thing in Trafalgar Square?" "Nelson's column, innit?" "And the highest thing on the column?" "Nelson." "And on Nelson?" "His hat." "And the highest thing on his hat?" "That bit that sticks up." 1/8

Fantastic

The Welsh Parliament (Senedd) has passed a ground-breaking law — the first in the world — making it a criminal offence for election candidates to deliberately lie during Senedd elections. Jones, the Reform UK Member of the Senedd, was the only politician to vote against the bill. Source Wales Online

So Russia is giving Iran targeting and intel on American forces in the Gulf. So let me get this straight: Trump supports Russia, which supports Iran. So, in Trump logic, Ukraine is the enemy. Got it. wapo.st/3OUfaJg

Great news from Manchester! Comprehensively rejecting the politics of hate and division (aka Reform, Farage and their wealthy backers).

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

Love him even more now

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

F*ck Trump. Sooner his age and ill health catch up with him the better.

Massive crowds have taken to the streets of Nuuk to protest the Trump administration with one message: Greenland is not for sale. It is not negotiable.

Certainly hope so

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

The Stranger Things finale was superb! It delivered on every level.

Possibly my favourite episode of this wonderful podcast so far. Fascinating, disturbing and uplifting.

BREAKING: Keir Starmer has launched a formal investigation into foreign election interference after a former senior Reform UK politician accepted bribes to promote Russian interests in the European Parliament www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Keir Starmer needs to stand up for the BBC against Trump's outrageous $5bn lawsuit and protect licence fee payers from being hit in the pocket. Trump wants to interfere in our democracy and undermine our national broadcaster. We cannot let him.

Wow! He’s an absolute loon.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 8mo ago

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

Woke up this morning to news of Donald Trump’s Iran-Israel ceasefire. In his words, “I think the ceasefire is unlimited. It’s going to go forever,” Genuinely felt hopeful for the world. Then within an hour or so news that his forever ceasefire had been violated. He is an idiot.

I love history

It is mind blowing to me that the world is allowing one crazy man to wreck the world economy.

WTAF indeed. Absolutely disgusting if correct

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

Today in 1924 Hitler was sentenced to a pathetic 5 yrs for trying to overthrow the government. He served 9 months. There might be a lesson here somewhere about being tough on people who assault democratic governance.
