Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Ouch...looking really serious today. Hope all is well with you. Or perhaps it's just that Wednesday feeling. Yes?

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. Iโ€™ll take a look at it. Iโ€™ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But sheโ€™s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: Iโ€™ll have to take a look at it.

Yes, yes- red is you. Tremendous contrasts in this photo. Excellent. (Though I do have a surviving soft spot for the green!)

She's not making a very Sure Start to her leadership campaign.

The Daily Mail has a wilting relationship with the English language...and it's getting worse online.

Yes - so it looks more and more like a way to prevent/postpone the publication of ALL the Epstein papers.

Goes so well with the silver dress. Suits you better than the pink. However, I really prefer your natural red...and not because I'm just an old socialist!!

A significant body of opinion from mental health experts says that Trumpโ€™s behaviours typify narcissistic personality disorder, describing him as a โ€œposter boyโ€ for narcissism who displays nearly every symptom in exaggerated form. This video gives a frightening insight into his fantasies of power.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow thatโ€™s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

ICE officers stopped a family at gunpoint and smashed the car window on top of the newborn baby. โ€œI was screaming that there was a baby,โ€ cried the mother. โ€œBut they didnโ€™t care,โ€ and covered the baby with their bodies, fearing that the glass would hurt him.

Jonathan, just a reminder that it's Murdoch paper and has been for too long. The Times is Fox News with some posh bits added for cover.

The robber barons are at large. They defy the rule of law...for their own benefit. Well done that judge.

Good evening MJ. Lovely as ever - and relaxed. Wearing a tie. Since I retired I only wear a tie on very special days. How special was your day?

In the Olde UK, we used to call for the 'men in white suits' to take this sort of meandering drivelling person to a place of safety and treatment.

Most nations who join Geneva Conventions etc etc, do so to help their own military (& civilians) being subjected to death from war crimes. Hegseth is openly putting US military in danger of illegal lethal force by others. Stupid.
