As a strong Labour supporter, I'd love to see Labour make a massive success of governing this country. Unfortunately, in the last 16-odd month's the only thing I've discovered is that Keir Starmer's dad must have been REALLY, REALLY good at his job!

Nigel Farage, a “man of the little people”? Seriously?

I just hope that Republican lawmakers are getting even more such messages - and feeling shamed to action by them.

Getting Wordle right on Row 1 involves almost no skill (occasional updating start word based on past words may help)

Correct on Row 2 is also mainly chance with probably <25%?

For me the chance/skill switch occurs on Row 3 & with Row 4 this is the sweet spot.
R5 is disappointing
R6 is desperate!

Why do we put up with megarich tech companies syphoning off & selling our data to all-comers.
I'd pay good money for a subscription-based AI app to automatically protect my data, deny all "legitimate interests", block all advertising, including my IP (like vpn) & point me to alternative sources.

After WARNINGS for months that MASSIVE CUTS at the National Weather Service by TRUMP and ELON MUSK would impair their forecasting ability and endanger lives during the storm season,... GOP Texas officials blame the deadly results of the flood on,... the National Weather Service.

Is it any coincidence that Donald Trump's military parade is taking place on the same day as the military parade for the King's Birthday in the UK?
Has the USA now got a KING?
(or is the country just getting ready for a gigantic TEA PARTY?)

Pretentious?
Moi?
🤣

Any evidence that pro Israel televoters in Eurovision voter countries were encouraged to vote 20 times for Israel?
How does the distribution of the public Israel votes compare with that of people who voted for other countries?
If voters have 20 votes, they should be limited to one vote per country.

I can't imagine what the state of the inside of your brain must smell like!

That’s a wrap. I’m calling it a night. I’m tired…..so tired.

I keep repeating this. The French hit the streets for a entire month to force the government not to raise the age of retirement. It worked. One month. The entire country frozen. No productivity, no transportation, no nothing. But they won. Nothing short of this will help US out of this regime!

Hardly unexpected!
Grifters gotta grift.

I wouldn't. Transgender individuals should be just as entitled to their own changing room or toilet spaces as cis men or women are.

The last time the Americans rejected a king, he was mad and deluded.
They now have another head of state who is also mad, deluded, and thinks he is a king.
Come on, America, you know what to do!

Transgender individuals are fine. They are transgender individuals and deserve recognition, respect, and protection as such (including their own safe spaces). But they are not women or men who do not identify as transgender (and who are entitled to their own safe spaces).

NO! NO! NO!
Labour will NEVER be forgiven if it bows to Trump

NEW: China is switching from American to Canadian oil.

Chinese purchases of American oil are down **90%** year on year.

Purchases of oil from Canada are up +700%.

That equates to a $20 BILLION annual loss for the United States, at current oil prices.

Tired of winning yet?

There is something in this of the Lord of the Rings... Well done Marsh Family.
So often you give voice to our heart.

Took my Chinese car in for a service today.

It looks like Trump's tariffs have started to bite already! 😲

The last time the USA had a king was in 1773. The king was mad, and they kicked him out.
They now have another mad king. Perhaps it's time once again to tip "T" into Boston harbour and "Dump The Trump!"

Who'd 'a thunk it?

Brilliant advice!

Greenland is a de facto member of NATO, so if Trump tries to take it by force, will that trigger Article 5 of the NATO treaty with the rest of NATO obliged to come to Greenland's aid?
The same goes for Iceland or even Canada.
'Tis The Madness of "King" Donald - an EXTREMELY dangerous Putin asset.

Lauren (@lauren.wlt) on Threads A deal with your WHO?!? Context: US now back-pedalling because they’re scared Europe are joining with China. You cannot make this shit up.

You've gotta be kiddin' me!

The Christians among you will know that there can be no forgiveness without repentance.

So just for starters, dump the orange narcissist.
