It's not Roosevelt we're dealing with. Hell, it's not even Nixon.

Ed Davey, "We rightly expect our armed forces to protect British citizens around the world in crisis like this"

"But that includes tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes here"

What an utterly disgusting and dangerous front page from the Mail today. Surely by now everyone can see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities and migrants to gain support. Everyone it seems except the Mail

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

So presumably this Daily Mail campaign against "foreign-born" voters will quickly be applied to their foreign-born star columnist, Boris Johnson, and their own France-based for tax purposes non-dom owner?

Nigel Farage has called for postal voting to be banned - except for the elderly and disabled - after Reform UK lost the Gorton and Denton by-election

Who would have guessed

It will be tough for America’s global reputation to recover after this absolutely shameful vote.

A split-image portrait of Katherine Johnson, the pioneering Black NASA mathematician: On the left, a black-and-white historical photo from her NASA career in the 1960s shows a smiling middle-aged woman wearing cat-eye glasses and a light-colored dress with white collar and trim, seated at her desk with a globe and papers in the background. On the right, a color photo from 2015 depicts an elderly Katherine Johnson (in her late 90s) seated in a wheelchair during the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony, wearing glasses, a dark suit jacket, an orange top, a blue ribbon with the medal, and holding a green item in her lap, as she looks directly at the viewer with a gentle expression. The side-by-side images contrast her youthful professional life with her honored later years.

Mathematician & NASA 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘳 Katherine Johnson died #OTD in 2020.

She was instrumental in the success of the first US manned spaceflights, calculating complex trajectories enabling humans to reach orbit & land on the moon. Her story was told in 𝘏𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘍𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 (book/movie). #WomenInSTEM #BHM

We need to get serious about tackling corruption through political donations The government's reforms are welcome but they won't end political corruption

Most Britons can't make political donations/bribes and are made to suffer.

14.2m live in poverty
120,000 a year die in fuel poverty
300,000 a year die prematurely awaiting hospital appointment.
Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in tax than the richest 20%.

Is democracy possible?

"Dear Diary,
They have arrested Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. What the police are calling 'misconduct in public office', sounds very much like what I call my day job"

Read and share all over..he nails it

Fascinating. Will the opponents of protofascism have learned enough from Caerphilly?

If you have a Royal Family, you have deference.

If you have a Royal Family, you have a class system.

If you have a RF, you essentially say, "These people are better than everyone else by dint of birth & should maintain enormous influence, wealth and power."

Why would anyone want that at all?

I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.

It’s up to all of us to now step up and call this absolute bull**** out

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

One of the maddest elements of Brexit - and there are *many* - is the rewards that continue to be lavished on the blithering idiots who sold it & continue to be proved wrong about everything every day…

And with a puff of smoke, the failed Tories all turned in to Reform UK.

🚨Buckle up!🚨
Poland is investigating potential connections between Jeffrey Epstein and Polish victims, as well as possible involvement of Russian intelligence in his activities. The Polish government has set up a special task force.

Given how much Nigel Farage hates working from home, it would be nice to see him turn up at his workplace a bit more regularly

Screenshot of a Guardian page with the headline: Kemi Badenoch says Partygate scandal was 'overblown' And sub headline: New Tory leader calls Boris Johnson a 'great prime minister' who fell into a 'trap' over Covid rules

Some of us are old enough to remember this from Badenoch…

One of my fave community notes to date…
