RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS:

If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail.

But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.

WHY the *fuck* is a party political broadcast by Nigel Farage being misreported as "Breaking News"?

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

If you keep repeating a lie and indeed if you make it ever more outrageous and audacious, then a sizable chunk of the population will start to believe it is true.

Hitler knew that.

Seems others have learned it too.

Good on the Mirror for having the bravery to strike out against this bullshit

Well worth your time to read this.

Statement from European leaders:

We will continue to tighten sanctions and economic measures to pressure Russia until peace is achieved.

International borders must not be changed by force.

Motherfucking wind farms…

For the love of God, Radio 4, the EU will NOT pay a 15% tax. US consumers will.

A superb piece of journalism in The Observer: it seems like the one of the sacred texts of Nature Writing (TM) is not quite as much of an unflinchingly honest read as claimed

Mark Carney announces that kids can visit museums for free - an idea from the UK where almost all of our museums are free all year round

The boy who came back: the near-death, and changed life, of my son Max It was, we were told, a case of sudden infant death syndrome interrupted. What followed would transform my understanding of parenting, disability and the breadth of what makes a meaningful life

This is a piece of truly exquisite writing by Archie Bland that I assure you will remain with you for some time. Read it all.

Good LORD.

I'd want cash up front. Those checks will bounce.

And it will also have a huge effect on the local residents too. I hope that they get what they voted for.

This isn't hypothetical.

The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

My initial reaction to the local election results (as to much else) is to reach for some kind of contrived metaphor. So I hereby declare with all the gravitas I can summon that someone seems to have broken the national swingometer and replaced it with a roulette wheel. 😵‍💫

Hi Labour, rather than learning all the wrong lessons from this election defeat - what about taking some people out of poverty and improving some lives?

We have got so used to Farage and Reform that they feel mainstream, but Reform is a far right party & Britain is electing far right MPs and councillors.

Just incredible

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference.

The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Oh course they did. What else did we expect?

And he doesn't care who pays it either.
