Genuinely shocking thread but it also gives a public service in explaining the situation so clearly. Depressing beyond all belief really. What ore incentive do we need to wake up and start to understand our own self interest?

I don't expect much change. Burnham has backed Brexit and is simply not that interested in Europe. That only changes when his incentives change. Thanks for reading. Sorry for the downer. This'll cheer you up👇👇 👇👇👇👇 Let's build Europe Ends eastangliabylines.co.uk/news/world/e...

"I was once taught, early in my career: If you walk past a violation of standards, and allow it to exist, you have just created a brand new standard – and that standard is lower... Secretary Hegseth is diluting the standards of the military." Mark Hertling Lieutenant General (Retired) U.S. Army

See those 'bumps'? They're ballista emplacements. That wall and ditch behind? That's the wall of a Roman siege camp, at the foot of an iron age hill fort, Burnswark, in SW Scotland.

I am astonished by the actions that are being tolerated. This is not reflective of the United States. The U.S. government is behaving similarly to aggressive nations like China, Russia, or North Korea. 😠😡🤬

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.

First we had divorced parent Richard Tice saying that couples with children should be married. Now we've got divorced parent Matt Goodwin saying Reform will prioritise married couples with children. Who's up to mansplain marriage next? Henry the 8th?

Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ Follow If you want to see how lost the UK has become, look at how many journalists and politicians are today opposing Reform UK's very sensible policy of prioritising married couples with children in taxpayer-funded housing. These critics are not serious people. England's birth-rate is 1.3. Scotland's is 1.2. If we do not support British families that have children then we are done. We will simply not survive as a country. This should not be controversial. Vote Reform Put British families first. 9:36 pm . 24 Aug26 . 71.2K View

Twice divorced Richard Tice, currently in a relationship with a divorcee, speaking for a party led by twice-divorced Farage, tells us unmarried people should be deprioritised for social housing.

The US is powerful, but economically and militarily. This allows them to apply significant pressure. Where the Trump administration keeps tripping up is failing to realize that this power has limits: in depth - how far it can push others, and in breadth - how many it can push at once.

He was right about ULEZ He’s right about Brexit. No need to “revisit old arguments”/lies now we know it’s rubbish and costing us a fortune. Moving on means admitting this and asking about how to now join. Not pretending it’s ok in case Farage loses his shit. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/sad...

This is searing stuff from Sadiq Khan, and his arguments for the UK to rejoin the EU are as clear and comprehensive as it gets.

Donald Trump treats Joe Biden the exact same way he made fun of the challenged person years ago. Everything is his fault. Yet Biden kept the nation afloat. Trump? A disaster getting worse by the day. Vote for change. It's necessary.
