Getting angrier and further left the older I get. Love is international. The time to go high when they go low was Once Upon A Time. You’d have to go a long way to upset me (not an invitation). No bio, no replies=block 🙏 ask me #alttxtplz if you’d like it.

Many EU leaders are collapsing under a moment’s pressure on Ceuta but the hypocrisy of Meloni is particularly sickening. All those demands that Europe help Italy out on Lampedusa, and no-one asked for Italy to be excluded from Schengen. But as soon as a Social Democrat faces problems….

Important, because Farage's defence for not declaring Harborne's £5m 'gift' has always been very specific: he did not decide to stand until 3rd of June. Turns out this deal was struck mid-May (confirmed by RefUK) and facilitated by Farage's other big donor, convicted felon 'Posh' George Cotrell. 🧐

Nigel Farage struck Reform comeback deal long before election Supervised by the convicted fraudster George Cottrell, the agreement undermines Farage's claim about when he decided to return to politics REFORM UK Bank of Single Richard Tice was demoted to deputy leader when Farage returned in 2024 Gabriel Pogrund, Emanuele Midolo, Venetia Menzies Saturday August 1 2026, 8.15pm, The Sunday Times Nigel Farage struck a secret deal to return as leader of Reform UK months before the general election. Farage negotiated the pact with Richard Tice, then the leader, in March and April 2024. George Cottrell, the convicted fraudster who had been secretly bankrolling Farage, supervised the discussions. Under the terms of the deal, once Farage became leader Reform would repay or write off more than £1 million in outstanding loans it had received from Tice's company. The deal was first presented by Farage and Cottrell to the party's treasurer in mid-May. Its existence undermines the Reform leader's claim that he had no intention until June 2024 of returning to politics. Farage has used this to defend his failure to declare donations made to him in the year before he was elected as an MP, which triggered two parliamentary investigations.

According to new court filings, Capital One closed the orange felon’s accounts in 2021 due to extensive patterns of money laundering. Once a fraud, always a fraud and that criminal piece of shit has been using the US govt as a tool for his latest money laundering operation.

Oh no. Wealthy people who only wanted to live here because they weren’t paying the same tax as everyone else are leaving because they might have to pay the same tax as everyone else. How will I cope with this turn of events? Anyway. 💅

I realise the details are unlikely to be forthcoming, but I'd like to to know more about why OpenAI and Anthropic are unable to set up secure test environments without internet connectivity. It doesn't appear a particularly difficult task.

Can't be the first to say this, but (and yay UEFA - brilliant) this works equally well if you swap out "football" for maybe "water" or "a stable climate". Look at me being the revolutionary socialist. "No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation."

The moment external investors acquire ownership interests in FIFA competitions, football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. Investor expectations become a daily pressure. From that moment onwards, every decision on the international calendar, every decision on competition formats and every decision shaping the future of football is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders. This model has no place in world football. Football's future cannot be dictated by the expectations of those whose first duty is to maximise financial return. Nor can the interests of national associations, leagues, clubs, players and supporters become subordinate to investor returns. Football cannot mortgage its future for financial gain. Europe's position is clear. We will never lend this model our legitimacy. No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation.
