Sky News article - "Man charged over allegedly wearing military uniform without permission on Remembrance Sunday" The photo is of the parade with every face blurred out except the offending fake Admiral

Guardian - "Man charged after 'fake admiral' seen at Remembrance Sunday event" The same photo as the Sky News article, but the fake Admiral is the only person whose face has been blurred

I feel that news outlets need more consistency in whose face needs to be blurred out in this photo

The cultural dominance of politically conservative evangelical protestant Christianity has really constrained America's religious imagination. The many clergy protesting ICE/BP may be re-opening that imagination, especially when it comes to what Christianity can mean and look like.

MAGA’s new campaign slogan.

I don't think this will actually happen. But if it does, the UK should simply start subjecting the actions of US-owned social media platforms in this country to British law. Incitement, defamation, intellectual property.

A stunner for this cold and wet November morning - Johnny Beatle making tea in Macca’s kitchen. Cosy.

Emails highlight Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon relationship New documents show the pair discussing travel arrangements and UK politics in messages from 2018.

Farage, Boris Johnson & Rees-Mogg apparently plotting assaults on UK democracy with Bannon, who was reporting back to Epstein. Nothing to see here, newspaper folk…

Your occasional reminder, if you’re in the UK, that it is shaping up to be a hideous bird flu season, with many wildlife casualties (including resident birds, not just winter migrants), and, however soft your heart, it is a Really Bad Idea to handle sick or ‘injured’ birds or bring them inside.

Govt announces that main provisions of the new Renters’ Rights Act 2025 will come into force on 1 May 2026 bit.ly/3K26yhC important changes but still leaves tenants (as I still call them) with fewer rights than in countries such as Germany where rental market thrives

And there we go 10y opened up 11 basis points erasing 1/3 of the rally since October.

The BBC belongs to Britain, but Trump wants to tear it down.

We can’t allow the Trumpification of our politics or our media.

It makes a complete mockery of the ‘oh the financial markets like us’ argument. A budget that will please no one and do yet more damage to the UK’s policy making credibility (the apparent fact that this is a u turn on response to political pressure is utterly damning).

NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

A tram lights up the gloom during the biting early winter of 1947. Amazingly, it's only 2.30pm on this November day as the freezing smog takes hold. Glasgow would endure frequent pea-soupers prior to the Clean Air Act of 1956.

Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.

Oh, they're talking about it now, Mr Vance.

Verdict of one Labour grandee I just bumped into: “Ed Miliband is the person most likely to be the most next Prime Minister”.

We're so close to having the ultimate vehicle on our roads

“No 10 says Johnson has been told by Downing Street staff that none of them had parties during Covid.”

Bells and whistles! Are you sure it wasn't a hearing test?

It’s not every day the Deputy Prime Minister corrects the parliamentary record after a fact check. So this is great to see...

I thought it was the White House for a moment :)

Understandable tho. EU at the time was genuinely thinking Brexit was going to potentially be dominoes but it wasn't so now they can treat UK like an even bigger & more annoying Switzerland

"Ok, but you get that it's a problem that your tree has ANY cherries that are emails conspiring with a paedophilic sex trafficker?"

The BBC’s Attempts to Appease the 'Right-Wing Coup' Against It Are Now Seeding Its Own Destruction By attempting to appease those forces seeking to destroy them, the BBC has helped trigger a crisis that now threatens its very future, argues Adam Bienkov

When Boris Johnson was Prime Minister one of his senior advisers confided to me that one of the only things in politics his boss actually cared about was “killing off the BBC”.

Five years on, and it is a campaign that appears to be finally coming to fruition.
