"true crime awards" is a phrase that gets stranger the more you think about it
“I lost my job after harassing a complete stranger in the street because he’s Jewish”
We have awarded these people contracts in the Ministry of Defence. What the fuck are we doing.
🔴Revealed: Peter Mandelson’s Russian Connections and Palantir Lobbying Links

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Farage and Badenoch are absolute clowns: startled by the entirely foreseeable series of events they failed to foresee. A demonstration of their total lack of judgement.
Historians are quite capable of explaining the hellscape that is the US at this particular minute, and its kind of telling that you imagine we won't because it means you haven't been listening or reading
Dear journalists: Shut up about the “special relationship”. There is UK reliance on the US but for the time being there is no special relationship in any meaningful sense and talking as if there still is sounds ridiculous
Cor, sure would feel great right now if we were self-sufficient in renewable energy, and laughing at all the rubes reliant on global oil supplies. We'd have a bit of a swagger in our step today.
These people are fucking dimwits and they embarrass us as a species.
I remember when ‘Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the ‘war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.
BREAKING: DOJ confirms that 47,635 Epstein files have been removed, per The Independent.
This is how to answer that toxic question (With slightly different wording if you’re not actually the governor of Minnesota)
Spanish PM Sánchez on Trump's threat to end trade:
"We are not going to be accomplices to something that is bad for the world and contrary to our values and interests simply because of fear of reprisals... We have absolute confidence in the economic, institutional & moral strength of our country."
This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something
Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

I wonder what she'll think, when she's out of government in a few months time. Was it worth it? Persecuting refugees in order to satisfy an electoral strategy even she probably doesn't believe in. Pissing away the last dregs of your integrity for a plan which has already been shown not to work.
Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started
This is terrible from Starmer. Just absolute trash. And any normal voter looking at the new MP and then reading this description will think him mad.
A more topical version of the article from a few days ago (if you only read one, this is the one to read)

So apparently there were people who expected Goodwin not to be a dick if he didn't win? 🤷🏻♂️😄
Has there ever been a more graceless and divisive concession?
Showing exactly why voters in Gorton and Denton rejected him tonight
The Farage playbook is so Trumpian. When they win or come a close second (not tonight boyo) it's always 'a political earthquake' and when they lose, it's straight to, 'the game was rigged'.
Pathetic populists.
Ah man, this is good fun.
