The CEO of a multi-trillion-dollar company walked into the White House, handed the president a gold gift, and soon after, his company got a special exemption from tariffs the president illegally imposed.
The Founders took bribery so seriously, they banned it three separate times in the Constitution.

That’s deeply disturbing, unpleasant and not what you would want coming from a person of the cloth.

Aww bless his cottons …women have their ways…he won’t get away with it as much as he thinks…

It's not a matter of opinion.
It's counting...

Odd, we’ve noticed the roads round our way have much improved and quality repairs and not a Reform councillor in sight.

Could it be improved funding to local councils from the new Labour Gov that’s responsible for the upgraded road repairs? 🤔

So Todays R4 reporting on the “one in out-small boats” policy… groundbreaking….

Apparently crossings increased 6 years ago…what happened then? Well the UK lost the Dublin agreement when it left the EU…but we can’t mention that can we!

😂

The Tory councillors might think it’s a ‘good idea’ as it makes it seem to ratepayers as though they are ‘saving money’.

Whether they are or not remains to be seen but a rearranging of the fiscal deckchairs is an interesting distraction.

Sadly, from his actions it seems he won’t be happy until he’s annihilated Gaza.

Even in the summer recess our Labour government is going about its business of improving our country and agreeing new policies. Good governing starts with hard work! Just in the last week or so:

Always good to make new ahem, scientific discoveries.

Turns out the 20mph limit was great idea! Two years on from the controversial policy, it's becoming increasingly clear that the doubters were wrong

“What is great about evidence based policy is that it has a wonderful habit of working”

Trump to blame for high cost of living, Americans say in new poll Six out of 10 Americans fault president for financial struggles and eight out of 10 worry about tariffs’ impact

Think this speaks for itself. #Trump as #USPresident is costing the average, working class #AmericanCitizen dearly. And it was all foreseen.

#MAGA = #American turkey's voting for Thanksgiving

This hits deep.

Kamala Harris isn’t just mourning her own loss—she’s mourning with us. She’s carrying the weight of a nation battered by trauma, injustice, and cruelty.

She knows exactly what was at stake… and what we’ve all just lost.

98%

That's the decrease in the annual number of single-use plastic bags in the UK since a 5p charge started 10 years ago (it's now 10p)

Not all environmental problems are that easy to tackle, but change is possible

Sadly, a lot of what he says sounds delusional rather than policy.

And sadly not got any better.

Andy Burnham: These Dangerous, Alienating Times Call for Radical Change of Our Politics From imposter syndrome and proportional representation, to fixing the fundamentals and the 'incestuous' Westminster media-political class – Labour’s Greater Manchester Mayor believes the right can be ...

Excellent interview - #AndyBurnham gives me hope.

Andy Burnham’s interview should be printed out and referred to when you’re in need of leadership inspiration.

I see a lot of frankly silly people on here complaining that Labour haven't turned everything around, in a year, after the Tories destroyed every part of our country over 14 years. I say to them, what child expects it to be less than a decade ? Starmer is really good, but not god

There’s plenty of evidence to support this analysis.

Perhaps he speaks differently away from the cameras? 🤔

Thank you, @yorkshirebylines.co.uk You are one of the best. Such an interesting read.

Why I'm I not surprised.

Revolutionary city-scanning satellite from UK-France partnership set to transform climate monitoring Millions of people worldwide are set to benefit from more accurate climate data as the groundbreaking MicroCarb satellite begins its journey to space.

The MiniCarb satellite has been successfully launched into space this morning.

The UK-France project will be Europe's 1st satellite dedicated to monitoring carbon dioxide, mapping emissions across urban areas.

It will help us better understand emission patterns in the fight against climate change.

Apparently the "time is not right" to recognise the state of Palestine. Perhaps not enough babies and children have died.
