This speech-making in Israel is an exercise in massaging Trump’s ego… Mostly bollocks and hyper exaggerated arse licking

This is the man the BBC elevated & is refusing to investigate despite @carolecadwalla.bsky.social l & @bylinetimes.bsky.social
having done all the work for them .
Do we have a precedent for a this ? A national broadcaster ignoring possible treason , isn’t that in itself sort of treasonous πŸ₯΄ ?

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

Worth not giving his account too much credence. He has a lot of form for minimising his Russian connections

I am enjoying a lovely evening of telly, after three pints down local, watching β€˜an evening with Glen Campbell’ on BBC 4. Full orchestra, all his greats plus fabulous covers. What a guitarist and singer.

Let’s keep breaking the stigma not just with awareness days, but with empathy in how we treat each other every day. The smallest act of kindness, the gentlest conversation, or the courage to say β€œI’m not okay” can change a life.

The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 has been awarded to Venezuelan democracy activist MarΓ­a Corina Machado.

The Nobel Committee recognised her β€œstruggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

In other words, exactly the opposite of what Trump is doing to the United States.

And now judges critical of Trump’s moves are getting their homes targeted. Not helped, likely encouraged by the rhetoric of Stephen Miller.

This Trump administration policy of generating an artificial civil war on the basis of big lies is of course meant to be frightening but it is also anti-American, unlawful, stupid and pursued by wildly unpopular people.
