Twenty killed in Gaza after truck overturns amid 'Israeli-engineered' aid chaos Local media say Israeli army forced drivers to take unsecured and unsafe routes

Remember when Trump’s CEA chair, Stephen Miran, assured us that his policies would cause the dollar to rise, thereby softening the extent to which tariff-fuelled higher prices boost inflation and undermine purchasing power?

29 days into an escalating White House coverup of child sex crimes, and a mere four days after President Trump's broad-daylight bribe of a convicted sex offender, @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com have granted Trump's wish and stopped "wasting their time" on the "stupid" Epstein story.

I would say tracking an animal down to kill it counts as provocative behaviour.

Oh dear how sad. Oh well. Anyway, lovely weather we're having.

Millionaire trophy hunter gored to death by 1.3 tonne bull on African safari Asher Watkins, 52, was tracking a 1.3 tonne Cape Buffalo bull, known as the Black Death, on Sunday when it suddenly charged at him at 35mph.

Ah that's lovely news.

The government could easily implement Swift Bricks into people's homes - but they choose not to.

Why?

Because they couldn't give a damn about nature.

South Park one of the very few standing up for Democracy! WTG‼️

A thirty second scan under the covers points to this being a wrapper on vapi, which offloads everything to an... extensive set of subprocessors exclusively located in the US. Utterly daft, top to bottom.

Do you have any idea how much people hate those useless AI chatbots which can never provide you with a helpful answer and are just another hedge that you have to fight your way through to get a proper answer from an actual human being?

Personally I will NEVER buy a Tesla and I'd shun anyone who would, on the grounds that they're stupid and are ok with fascism.

The Tesla board are a bunch of spineless kiss-asses.

ICE Offers, Then Quickly Withdraws, Cash Bonuses for Swiftly Deporting Immigrants

NEW: According to an internal email, ICE floated the idea of offering cash bounties for expedited deportations. The idea was withdrawn four hours later after ICE was asked for comment. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/u...

Ironic when you consider the original Americans are 100% not white. #RepublicansAreRacistMorons

Every word that comes out of Donald Trump's mouth is brain-dead gibberish. It just makes me cringe.

47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

I give up, what is it?

A whole 30 mins from the BBC covering the rise of Reform, how is wish the Greens were given such advertising.

I Am Suing the Department of Justice for the Epstein Files Training Videos On July 20th, I was the first to report the existence of training videos instructing FBI personnel how to flag mentions of Trump and others in the Epstein files. Today, I'm suing for those videos.

This is a trojan horse for even more intrusive surveillance. If you don't get on the damn street and fight for your rights you will lose them. In fact, you are losing your civil liberties at pace and there has been very little sustained pushback.

The future is one in which I won't be able to afford food or basics let alone nice things, but I will never be short of instant access to AI and social media to offer me endless contradictory and uncheckable explanations as to why not. And why what I am experiencing isn't really happening at all.

Over 5,000 complaints sent to Sky News for their 'excessive coverage' of Reform First the BBC, now Sky News. It appears that some viewers are now coming down with a serious case of 'Reform Fatigue'.

I’m sure this petition will have helped with this. The message is getting louder. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/sky...
