My attempt at a bad charging pun didn’t land.

It was February 28th 2025 that Trump shamefully tried to humiliate President Zelensky in the White House.

β€œYou are meddling with World War III” his ludicrous claim.

February 28th 2026 and it’s Trump who starts a war with #Iran that has set the world on that path.

Images of Richard Tice with his girlfriend Isabel Oakshott and Charlie Mullins, the latter two of which live in Dubai to avoid paying UK tax.

A commenter says, following the strikes on Iran and its retaliation in Dubai, "I don't want my tax being spent on facilitating the return of these extremists from Dubai to the UK. They clearly despise our culture and way of life and they should seek refuge in the first safe country they arrive in.

"Am I doing this right?" and includes a thinking emoji for additional satire.

So family voting.

Votes for Reform - β˜‘οΈ absolutely fine.
Votes for anyone else - ❌ less than fine, in fact kick up a stink in the media about it.

Zia Yusuf fucks up… see below

Iran v New Zealand World Cup fixture in Los Angeles

Iran v New Zealand World Cup fixture in Los Angeles

Gianni Vincenzo Infantino will be so proud of that peace prize he gave #Trump.

Looking forward to his comments on this fixture in Los Angeles.

Perhaps the Board of Peace can help.

Trump launching a war from his Florida golf club.

No Congress approval .

He couldn’t even stay in Washington and use the Situation Room to coordinate this dangerous escalation for the world.

He can though use this as an excuse to cancel mid-term elections and stop people talking about #epstein

You caught the wonderful intertwined storylines perfectly. It is gentle and it does capture the real life stories of people in a very relatable and kind way.

Goodwin's petulance is hilarious, but it's also a warning that, for the far-right, they have no abiding commitment to democracy and value it only to the extent to which it allows them to attain power.

If *we* value democracy, we must take the warning.

Gorton and Denton by-election result:


GRN: 40.7% (+27.5)
REF: 28.7% (+14.7)
LAB: 25.4% (-25.3)
CON: 1.9% (-6.0)
LDEM: 1.8% (-2.1)


Green GAIN from Labour.

Expect weeks of "family voting" rhetoric from Reform. They're out of the gates on it already.

It mustn't be allowed to wash because look at the scale of that win.

Tactical voting has obviously played a massive part.

Gorton and Denton rejected Reform and its hateful agenda.

A reminder, one day ahead of a by-election in which the Greens are favourites to defeat Reform, that the Daily Mail owner's wife recently donated Β£50,000 to Nigel Farage's party

Straight out of the Trump MAGA playbook.

Disgraceful behaviour and it says everything you need to know about Farage.

He has just inserted a β€˜g’ to keep himself in the spotlight.
