This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

Woman kept in ‘Dickensian’ servitude for 25 years speaks out as abuser jailed Amanda Wixon, 56, sentenced to 13 years for keeping victim imprisoned at home in Gloucestershire since 1990s

It feels objectively wrong that you can keep someone as a slave for 25 years and only be sentenced to 13 years.

She will likely be out of prison in half that.

The Iran oil crisis has proved Ed Miliband right on green energy. But households still need more help | Mathew Lawrence Britain’s whole energy economy needs to be reformed – decarbonising the grid is only part of the mix, says director of Common Wealth, Mathew Lawrence

Sky News summarizes what the Prime Minister was told before he made the decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as U.S Ambassador. As Sophy Ridge later pointed out

“The problem wasn’t the vetting process. It was ignoring what the vetting process said”

Mowed the lawn for the first time this year and got a new jasmine in for the obelisk. Pretending the wind isn't horrid.

I'd not articulated it like this before, but I've always been uncomfortable with the idea that both "British" and "English" are inherently regressive identities, and it's this, isn't it? Whatever happens to the UK over the next few decades 60m people will end up with one of them.

It's genuinely fascinating how Reform, an anti-immigration party, are converging on the politics of the maddest voter in a diaspora group.

The Iran war should be a lesson for Keir Starmer's Government. If you take a clear line on an issue where the public agree with you then it's your opponents who end up having to back down, not you

With every passing day, the decision of Starmer and his cabinet a) not to join the Iranian war b) to delay access to bases looks wiser and wiser. Trump’s press conference last night shows he has no real idea what the objectives are and its duration is arbitrary.

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.

That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

The dealer needs to keep you addicted.

The right do not like it when the left try to evolve the meaning of words, but describing immigration as a genocide is fucking mental. It is lies and it is incendiary. GB News needs taking off the air.

Iran war latest: Trump says US objectives in Iran 'pretty well complete' and war to end soon On the 10th day of fighting, Donald Trump has said the Iran war will be over sooner than his initial timeline of four weeks. Watch live below as he gives an update on the conflict in Florida.

He's so fucking pathetic. So much death and destruction and economic harm to stroke his fragile ego and distract from him being a fucking paedo!!!

Russia continues killing Ukrainians every day and is still fighting to erase us as a state. Easing russian oil sanctions now directly finances their war against Ukraine, including their tactics of terror of civilians: bombing apartment buildings, schools, hospitals, hunting people with drones,

His war drove up the price of oil just in time for Bessent to wave sanctions on Russia so their war machine is funded bigly. There's nothing quite like making sure an enemy has $ to use against you.
