Please don't go to see Melania's film ironically. You'd still be supporting the Nazis and they won't know/care if it was a joke.

Currently a massive bargain at £750. Heavily tempted to bid on it and donate it to Queer Britain museum, thus helping two great charities for the price of one.

Please read the piece with comments from tech & national security experts.

We have no national security while we rely on highly political US Silicon Valley firms that are enmeshed in Trump’s increasing fascistic administration.

Local Facebook group is enjoying unearthing classic Goodwin content. In this video Matt says he was "lucky or unfortunate enough to be in Manchester a few days ago" and that "the energy in this room is ten times what it was in Manchester".

My cat is an apex predator who thinks her natural prey is men. The shelter would only let her go to an all-women household because she attacks them and bites their boots. Not cute but I still adore her.

Your brain thinks your cat is a baby.
Science says that’s…completely reasonable.

Three independent commissions have backed devolving policing to Wales.

Scotland, Northern Ireland – even London and Manchester – have powers over policing.

Asked if Wales should too, the Home Secretary says:

“No I do not.”

Labour has no respect for Wales.

Home secretary rejects Welsh police powers in major reforms Shabana Mahmood's stance comes days after the first minister called for powers over Wales' police.

Not content with locking in rail underinvestment in Wales for a generation by refusing to devolve it, the UK Govt is now locking in systematic dysfunction by refusing to use this opportunity to correct the ‘joint’ England and Wales police & criminal justice system. Terrible!

Someone just posted about Cerys Matthews playing a version of Green Grow The Rashes Oh and a lifetime in sexual health work gives you a keen appreciation of typos.

The evidence is clear: criminalisation of sex work increases the risk of #HIV transmission.

Only when sex work is fully decriminalised will Scotland be able to achieve the 2030 goal to end new HIV transmission.

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

Andy Burnham blocked from byelection race by Labour ruling committee Decision likely to set off ferocious row between Keir Starmer loyalists and allies of Greater Manchester mayor

It’s long been obvious that the current Labour Party are lousy at basic politics: picking arguments they didn’t need to have, pathologically prone to u
Turns. Doesn’t this just prove it. Whatever you think of Burnham, this just makes Starmer look incredibly weak.

The Nazi SA - Sturmabteilung, or Storm Troopers - were often recruited from the dregs of society: barely literate failures incapable of holding down a job and only fit for murder and terror. The scum of Germany. Hitler gave them free rein to vent their rage on their betters. Sound familiar, America?

BREAKING: The Tribune confirmed on Instagram that the man shot has died, according to two sources with knowledge of the incident.

ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but Chief Brian O'Hara refused, sources also told the Tribune. O'Hara instructed his officers to preserve the scene.
