After Trump's "Operation Midnight Hammer" (no, really), he said Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities had been "completely and totally obliterated" and therefore Iran's nuclear programme had been set back "by decades."

That was 248 days ago.

How ‘Sharknado’ Casts Its C-Listers and Nearly Landed Trump as President Months before he declared himself a candidate, Trump was set to play commander-in-chief in the schlocky Syfy film franchise that has lured everyone from Ann Coulter to Charo for cameos while regular T...

Every once in a while, I think about the fact that Trump was cast as the U.S. president in "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!" but then decided to run for the actual office of president instead. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

Downing St defines itself by its war with the Labour Left & this has grown into an obsession which dictates their whole approach to the everything: economy, domestic politics & election strategy etc.
They’re fine with burning in the flames of Mordor as long as they can take them all with them.🤦🏽‍♂️

So far I've come up with one rational explanation for Labour's response, which is that maybe Reeves has placed a significant amount of Treasury funds on a very specific accumulator about this May's elections, including Labour losing all their London councils and finishing fifth on projected vote.

A direct consequence of the capture of the mass media will be to help facilitate the end of free
and fair elections. They’ll make damn sure nobody removes them from power.

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.

Yeah, the Headmaster used to devote his last Sunday sermon before any election to explain why none of us should even consider voting any other way. Behind him, the Chaplain’s face was a picture! 😆

When I was at school, a teacher stood up at lunchtime on day of GE and said:

"Gentlemen of the upper 6th do your duty. Go and vote Conservative."

True story.

I am wondering now if I should retrospectively inform Matthew Goodwin.

The corollary to this is when we were on holiday in Spain & my Spanish wife asked for directions from a policeman, he immediately turned to me (very obviously not Spanish) and gave me the directions! 🤦🏽‍♂️

Every day, Starmer Labour finds new ways to astonish us with their apparently bottomless stupidity. I’m in a constant state of ‘now why would anyone do/say that?’

This is the issue the myriad problems surrounding the Starmer govt will converge upon: no clear & better replacement for Starmer but plenty of better homes for voters’ support.
Depending on the constituency, they could lose votes to almost any of the other parties.

Starmer telling Labour MPs today that the Greens are "divisive," "sectarian," and "not the kind environmentalists they pretend" is not going to go down well with the millions who now back Greens. It'll simply tell them Labour doesn't hear us. More tin-eared stupidity.

Trump's CBP abandons a nearly blind Burmese refugee in the Buffalo cold. He is found dead 5 days later.

I break down the disturbing details & offer background to his case.

I am calling for accountability for Nurul Amin Shah Alam’s death & answers for his grieving family.

Just heard Pat McFadden interviewed on World at One. Labour are finished.

Clive Lewis was spitting when he came on next.

Yep. It was very much ‘we’ve set our course & we’re sticking to it’.🤦🏽‍♂️

Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets.

They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch.

This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us.

Pay attention.

And it means the world to me that when he showed up, our neighbours stood with us against him.

crazy to me that no one at youtube or google is ever even, like, asked about this stuff anymore, let alone pushed to take responsibility. regardless of whether a PRMC/moral majority-type campaign would be a good idea, is the respectable center really so anemic/captured that it won't even try?

They definitely need a toaster on top. Should be fantastic - do it! 😆

Good for her. Similar offers all over LinkedIn in my sector. It’s a joke - the SaaS products they’re seeking to displace are pisspoor already. Systemisation expunges the extra 15-20% (conservatively) of quality that a skilled human brings in favour of uniformly delivering average performance.

On settlement and citizenship, it is crucial that the government rethinks its major reforms. Ten years to settlement – which only Switzerland has adopted – should be the ceiling, not the norm. To introduce the longest period of “unsettlement” in any democracy – and applying it to people already here – will harm integration, not promote it. Applying these retrospectively will create an enormous constituency of grievance that will wreck any attempt to rebalance Labour’s voice on immigration. Labour may be tempted to change its tone of voice more than its policy on immigration. Indeed, the party’s comfort zone may be to try to avoid the topic, so as not to give more oxygen to Reform’s favourite issue. But changing the subject has its limits. If one of Labour’s central arguments in 2029 will be to reject importing Trumpism into Britain, it will need to find a distinct voice to articulate its alternative agenda too. What Labour needs is not a “lurch to the left” as much as a significant rebalancing of its voice to find an authentic centre-left account of how to manage immigration and integration. A liberal party membership will want to see its values reflected in policy – while remaining mindful of balancing electoral pressures across different constituencies. Controlling immigration fairly means fairness for those who come to Britain and the communities they join – with more confidence to reject rather than echo the authoritarian hard-right politics of Trumpism: remigration and racism.

Good piece by @sundersays.bsky.social on what government needs to do to get to a sensible place - politically, economically and morally - on immigration.
