I’m begging liberals, progressives, and the rest of the anti-Trump coalition to stop association with Hasan Piker

Matt Weston. What a guy.

Taekwondo as a kid to Rugby to then winning World Championships and now Olympic gold in Skeleton racing.

The ONLY reason the USA thinks of itself as the "1 global superpower", is because of its NATO members.

Go fuck yourself, USA.
You overplayed yourself.

Also anti-British, as Belgian-British citizens like my kids have to pay 150 quid for a passport they will use max twice a year, while Belgians who aren't British can just pay sixteen quid for an ETA in their existing passports. Or perhaps they're just trying to punish the impure Brits.

McSweeneyism/Mahmoodism appears inspired by the snails in the Snail and the Whale who say “Be quiet! Don't wriggle! Sit still! Stay put!" Yet more Labour ‘eat your greens’ stuff

Normally I wouldn’t repost something so incomprehensible, something that is so sick it couldn’t possibly have happened but we must now think anything is possible.

Pam Bondi is a horror human, and I have zero empathy for her as she has willingly chosen to be such a monster. I hope her fate is an infinite, torturous, slow exercise in misery, loneliness, and agony.

World's rules-based order 'no longer exists', Germany's Merz warns "Our freedom is not guaranteed" in an era of big powers, the German chancellor tells Munich's security summit.

The rules-based world order "no longer exists" German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has warned world leaders at a major security summit

Opening the annual Munich Security Conference, he said "our freedom is not guaranteed" in an era of big power politics, and Europeans must be ready to make "sacrifice"

There's also a chance that it's corruption.

Someone in the SVR with a budget for bribing foreign politicians spends a few thousand on some no-mark like Nathan Gill, and pockets the rest.

I'm not ruling out Moscow having Machiavellian brilliance of course, but important to consider other options.

Europe needs ‘emergency mindset’ to survive, warns Danish PM Mette Frederiksen tells FT that Greenland crisis has shown the ‘old world will not come back’

Europe needs an “emergency mindset” on deterrence and defence if it is to survive a global disorder where strength matters above all, Denmark’s prime minister has warned. Mette Frederiksen told the FT that “a Europe that is not able and willing to protect itself is going to die at some point”.

Alan Dershowitz received the Samizdat Prize alongside me yesterday and he tried to distance himself from my views on stage! Like Ardal O'Hanlon, I asked him what he disagreed with and he spluttered and changed the subject.
To be fair to him, I did get the impression he's being bamboozled by his son, who apparently doesn't even think women should have fair sports.
Still, a giant of a man in many ways, just not this one.

But that doesn't help. Let's say you're 100% right. Those people haven't all changed their minds and they all still have votes. The Labour govt. didn't have rejoin on their manifesto.

I think this government's approach isn't going anywhere near fast enough for my heart, but probably about the right speed for my head.

Didn't Cameron also 'campaign' to remain too?

It was the lies of vote leave that radicalised the public into voting for the lunatic act of self harm.

I think Labour will campaign in 2029 for rejoin having started turning the oil tanker around around now.
That's pretty much the only way they keep my vote

They promised not to raise the council tax. Now they did.

This is what Reform UK in government looks like.
