It's almost like Trump learned something from him.

Temporary accommodation company still being used by Lambeth after one property caught fire Lambeth continues to pay Dellhome Ltd almost a year after one property almost burned down.

In my ongoing investigations about temporary accommodation providers in Lambeth, I've gone back to update a story I published last November about a landlord who rents such terrible homes to Lambeth council that one of them almost burned down. investigatinglambeth.substack.com/p/temporary-...

Can’t believe i’m under attack by Iran just for living on a US military base in the Gulf, being a US soldier, and also running bombing sorties on Iranian infrastructure near the Strait of Hormuz on a nightly basis. I must defend myself by bombing Tehran’s primary schools.

Made a play-doh Gomit at the pub quiz yesterday but it kept on falling over like it was drunk.

Why is this person using British insults on an American platform? Should be illegal imo

This is an, err, interesting take on parliamentary democracy from the leader of a major party.

Putin notoriously not a big fan of attacking other countries and waging aggressive war without any legal justification. 😂

Growing up in the online world: a national consultation We are consulting on further measures to prepare children for the future in an age of rapid technological change. This includes potential age restrictions on social media and other services such as ga...

Here's the government's social media for kids consultation, for any that want to do it. It closes on 26th May 2026, so plenty of time, but it is often good to make early submissions.

Richard Hanania tweet: Has any theory in international relations been more discredited than blowback? It turns out you can just kill bad people and everything is fine.

I swear these people don't have object permanence

It's this kind of stuff that makes you realise sovereignty has always been a fiction and that the UK is just another vassall state in the US empire.

Targets in Sanandaj (Iranian Kurdistan) per Iranian opposition channel: the IRGC base, two intelligence buildings, and the police headquarters.

Nice to be clamping down on refugees just when we’re participating in a war that will create hundreds of thousands of new refugees.

I mean there’s little as unpatriotic and poor taste as pissing off to the air conditioned beach dictatorship just so you can avoid some tax.

Goldsmiths UNIVERSITY OF LONDON You may be aware of a social media trend circulating this week which has been encouraging young people to organise gatherings and fights between schools and colleges. Goldsmiths has joined with local schools in Lewisham to take a coordinated approach in response. We want to reassure you that we believe any risk to Goldsmiths students and staff is low. As a precaution, until 4 March some side doors will be temporarily closed and access to campus will be limited to the following main entry points: • RHB main entrance • Laurie Grove pedestrian gate • Berriedale Gardens pedestrian gate To prevent secondary school children from using our estate as a venue for any gatherings, visitors under 18 years old will need to be accompanied by a responsible adult or teacher to be permitted entry. Visitors who are clearly over 18 will be able to access campus as normal. As always, students are encouraged to carry

Apparently my university is adding security because it’s worried about the social media trend of school children meeting up for organised fights on campus….

The cowardliness of these spineless politicians to criticise the US for another illegal war is pathetic.

Peace ‘within reach’ as Iran agrees no nuclear material stockpile: Oman FM Oman's Foreign Minister says most recent indirect talks between US, Iran 'really advanced, substantially'.

Just a reminder of what Iran agreed to before the US and Israel started an illegal invasion anyway 👇

China’s latest energy data offers a signal worth paying attention to. In 2025, emissions from energy and industry fell by 0.3%, modest, but notable, even as total energy consumption rose by 3.5%.

The key driver? A continued surge in solar power capacity.

NATA article 5 should not apply where the NATO country is the aggressor.

Americans please find out where someone is from before assuming they are American or live in America.

Everything Trump says now sounds like Putin. Lawless men who believe only in their own power and will only be stopped by imprisonment or death.

Thank you! CAMRA has a dataset but they try to charge you money for it.

From YNet: “Former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reported assassinated Iranian television reports that Amadinejad, who was once considered one of the bitterest enemies of the State of Israel, was also killed in attacks by Israel and the United States Lior Ben Ari | published: 13:46 • Add a comment”

They’re really going after some of Iran’s best posters.

Do you delight in making a fool of yourself online?
