Russia could have been defeated in 2 years even without a direct intervention had we given Ukraine all the aid and training they needed.

Instead we delayed and dithered, and continue to withhold aid even to this day.

This has only made the final cost of the war much more expensive for everyone.

e) dodgy tea... it is that just for UK-based problems?

Putin might be disappointed by not getting the Budapest meeting, but the reality is that it had nothing to do with Lavrov. The problem was on the American side: That they sent Rubio instead of Witkoff—i.e. someone who actually understood what Lavrov was saying.

Rupert Lowe makes more money from using Elon Musk’s website than any other MP.

There is money to be made from mass deportations and talking about mass deportations.

Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system

1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK

3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

BBC News bulletins leading on the story of an Algerian man being mistakenly released by the prison service.

Funnily enough I don't remember these cases ever leading the bulletins when an average of ten prisoners were mistakenly released a month in the final year of the last Government

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

Earned 300 quid this week because a union took up my case.

Join a union!

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

A friend in the north east said there's a row of shops near him that shuffles between various owners selling knock-off cigarettes.

And one legit taxpaying holdout shop that differentiates itself with a big sign outside saying "CHEAPEST LEGAL FAGS IN GATESHEAD".

The first thing Yaxley-Lennon did on leaving court was to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal costs.

That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK.

As of typing this - all of the major politicians and platforms maintain a presence on X and it is time for them all to leave.

I have waited for ages for someone with a proper following to say this vital thing.
No surprise that it's the menswear guy who knows real contemporary anguish and articulates the living shit out of it.

A reminder that we've not seen (new) photos of Joshua Wong in years as not only is he in prison but the authorities have prevented/barred journalists and others from photographing him (and, for that matter, all of Hong Kong's other political prisoners).

I see we have reached the Trump-butt-calling-states stage of federal shutdown.

BBC et al, stop calling him "Andrew": he's "Mr Mountbatten-Windsor" or just "Mountbatten-Windsor". You don't say, "Kemi asked Keir" at PMQs, so why is this guy any different? #FirstNameTerms

My Halloween costume this year is "Guy who is trying really hard to make a work deadline so is becoming increasingly enraged whenever the doorbell rings". Seems to really unsettle kids.

As someone from Suffolk I understand this punishment

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look upon my email which I hope finds you well.

OTD in 2001 Ukraine eliminated its last nuclear delivery vehicle under the START treaty.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Dutch libraries have invented an AI chatbot that can recommend books to you

You know what else can recommend books to you

The hypocrisy of Reform going on TV to allege that certain groups are constantly over represented on TV is truly epic.

"How dare MPs buy chairs with taxpayer money - they should stand all the time, preferably outside in the rain while having rotten fruit thrown at them"

Next day

"Why don't more people want to become MPs?"
