Factoid: The Maestro’s Geneva world debut featured two cars (both with the digital dash - one ‘speaking’ French, the other German) along with this display of a Vanden Plas model that ultimately wasn’t sold in Europe…

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?

A PSA from Thomas Massie:

This is totally unnecessary loss of life. Same for those school children. Unconscionable. Their blood is on Trump’s hands.

Reform UK proposals for future elections:
-if Reform loses, there was fraud and cheating
-if Reform wins, it was fair

"You will smash the unions, and you do not care about unions and workforce either.

"No, do not interact with Reform. Never interact with Reform"

When even the Monster Raving Loony Party can see that you are a grifter, maybe that is a sign?

BREAKING: 3 U.S. service members have been KILLED in action and 5 are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury.

Trump did that.

God bless our troops. I didn’t vote for this. I support our troops but not the leader hiding at Mar-a-lago with billionaires as our troops are killed.

Nissan Leaf, at a low-carbon-vehicle event in London in 2011 - the first car ever that left me feeling chilled after driving - where I also drove a Renault Fluence, a Mitsubishi iMIEV, a Mia Electric, a Vauxhall Ampera (Chevy Volt), and was passengered in a hydrogen-powered Hyundai ix35.

A masterclass from Zack Polanski on #BBCLauraK:

“There is no example in history where we’ve bombed people into democracy.”

No shouting. Just facts doing the heavy lifting.

@squeakysquirrel.bsky.social you make a good point.

Straight out of the Trump playbook.

Remember the US 2020 Presidential election anyone?

Hi Nigel Farage, are you elderly or infirm?

Because in 2024, when you stood for election you voted by post (in Kent because you didn’t, and still don’t live in Clacton).

Political fraud is next to non-existent in this country. Voters are already required to show ID when voting. Being foreign born does not mean you cannot vote. This is outright racism from Reform. All political parties should be widely condemning Farage's claims.

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.

Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

If you're not sufficiently depressed by Trump's attack on Iran, Russia has just dropped phosphorus bombs, which cause deep and often fatal wounds, burning through muscle and bone until the oxygen supply is cut off or the phosphorus is fully consumed, on to Kostyantynivka.

Nigel Farage will happily send UK troops to die and spend your money to fund insane US and Israel wars.

But he won't fund healthcare or protect children.

A sick, sick man.

It literally only took hours for Starmer to throw the UK into Trump's illegal war.

Let's face it. If we've learned anything at all about Starmer in the calamitous 603 days he's been in power, it's that his instinct to grab the wrong end of every stick never deserts him.

Truly pathetic.

Donald Trump has explained that the attack on Iran was necessary to protect US citizens from the dangers of paying too much attention to the Epstein files.

Of course, it is unlawful.

Even the "pre-emptive" justification is half-hearted guff.

Of course, it is stupid.

Wise US politicians once realised a rules-based international order was in their interests. That is being thrown away.

And most of all, and regardless of the above, it is wrong.

Starmer telling Labour MPs today that the Greens are "divisive," "sectarian," and "not the kind environmentalists they pretend" is not going to go down well with the millions who now back Greens. It'll simply tell them Labour doesn't hear us. More tin-eared stupidity.
