Reform say they'll force school children to sing hymns. Only 5% of Britons go to church. So what we have here is a religious minority forcing their wishes on the majority, and refusing to integrate with Britain's culture. They should go and live somewhere else. According to Reform.

Absolutely sick to the back teeth of violent thugs being referred to as "protesters".

Temporary disposable barbecue ban over wildfire risk
Single-use grills pose a "significant risk to the public" in current drought and heatwave conditions, the government warns.

This made me angry in a way words can't quite articulate. He's fucking up the moon now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr...
SpaceX rocket expected to have crashed into Moon - live updates
The stray piece of the Falcon 9 rocket is about the size of a five-storey building, with a weight on Earth of at least 4,000kg.

It's depressing that this moved me so much, but did. First time I've heard a politician praise a group of immigrants, without caveat, for a long while.
Andy Burnham, "To me, carers should be the best paid people in society, not the worst" "Many people from other countries have been caring for my dad" Andy Burnham praises migrants to the UK who care for our elderly, a stark contrast to Keir-island-of-strangers-Starmer
Nice to hear Canadian Tariffs are back... I guess the whole world cup hosting didn't quite endear Trump to his neighbours.
Over the past month, New York has welcomed the world. From neighborhood watch parties to the stadium, we’ve celebrated the communities that make our city the global capital of the beautiful game. Today, we close out a historic World Cup, proud of how New Yorkers showed up every step of the way.
Absolutely zero braincells employed by people lighting fireworks after 3 heatwaves. The entire country is a literal tinderbox. Could do with a ban before any more football wins...
I feel so angry and powerless about how NOBODY in politics is taking urgent climate action. Yet again, the world is on fire, or rather, boiling us all alive quite literally, and politicians are silent, lips often sealed by oil money. What do we DO?!
Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences
Bet Farage feels foolish for saying he was the most persecuted politician in the country. Again.
Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.
#R4Today spent this morning warmly eulogising Ann Widdecombe. Almost none of what they said was wrong. Almost none of it was complete. Here's what they left out. 🧵
Twitter used to be a place that was actually helpful. I'd tweet my local council for instance. Now without it I don't know where to tell them I'm mildly irritated by something 🤣
Farage just called a referendum on the concept of objective reality iandunt.substack.com/p/farage-jus...
A milkshake to the face is 100% worse than death apparently. You just can't get dairy out of raspberry cords.
"waaaaaaaaah, oh wah wah waahhhhhhh" - Nigel Farage, 62
Saying you're the "most physically attacked" MP when two MPs have been killed in the last decade is just horribly self-absorbed.
The world didn't want to go the US for the world cup, but maybe the US needed to see that people from nations very different from them are good people who have fun and laugh and support their team just like they do, even if their religion or skin colour is different.

Prince George to attend Eton College from September
He will follow in the footsteps of his father, the Prince of Wales, who also attended the private school.

In some ways I'm supportive of the social media ban because I hate what has happened to them and the damage it is doing. But on the other hand it doesn't address the real issue of the algorithms and rather gets the billionaire controlled platforms off the hook. And it seems unfair to punish kids
When people demand cuts in net migration, governments cut the numbers that are easy to control. But work visas, care workers and international students are often the very groups that contribute most to the economy. Stephen McNair reports on research by Jonathan Portes and Lauren Gilbert.
Every move makes it worse: the migration “doom loop”
Migration regularly dominates public policy concerns. Yet every attempt to manage it, increases alarm. A new report explains this “doom loop”
