Sir Jim Ratcliffe: Britain has been colonised by immigrants The British billionaire claims immigration is one of the country’s main problems, but Keir Starmer said his comments were ‘offensive and wrong’

I can’t begin to imagine how warped you must be to think saying this out loud, let alone think it is acceptable Maybe Sir Jim should have us all white and rich and tax exiled !!! Im see he has done the “I’m sorry if” apology Irish people wont forget this www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Hard to believe that none of the Reform MPs turned up for the debate on Russian interference in our politics. Maybe they were visiting their former Kremlin talking points Welsh leader Nathan Gill in prison? Or en route to their next BBC interview to act as commentators on why Starmer should go?

You and everyone else Alastair

The word that won’t leave my head is impunity:
be it the “creepy teacher” or uncle the church RC or otherwise, the lords & ladies, the tech bros, the million&billionaires, the guy who promises a way out of poverty ( however you define it) with a click of his camera. Thank you for writing this Carol

nursesonja • 7h & Threads Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control. This is about total control. O240 Q5 G34 → 21

My first tricycle was passed on by the next door neighbours, whose kid couldn't ride it any more because of polio. I was three years younger, caught the vaccine window.

His ignorance of history is just the tip of the iceberg.

The Power of Poetry   with things falling apart and anarchy let loose,   it was only poetry, he found, which had any use,   so he reached for his copy   of The Complete Works of Yeats   and bludgeoned the President of the United States Brian Bilston

Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment

At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Ah. Shameless self-interest every time. He’ll fit right in.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Finally got around to playing this evening… quote from my daughter “it’s actually quite a fun game”
