Spain refused to let the US use its bases for its illegal attack on Iran.

He has now said he will "cut off all dealings with Spain" and boasted that the US can use the bases if it wants.

This is what happens when you stand up against US empire. Although I wouldn't be surprised if this is reversed.

This is a bit weird: Trump seems to claim (at about 40 seconds in) that his father was born in the UK. Which is just not true: his father was born in New York, to a family with Germanic ancestry.

Obviously there's loads of other falsehoods in there but that one seems particularly weird?

86 organisations call on the Prime Minister to increase – not cut – UK climate finance - Climate Action Network UK 86 UK organisations have written an open letter to the Prime Minister calling on the government to increase – not cut – UK international climate finance and

🚨 86 organisations are calling for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to increase, not cut, UK climate finance 💷

Cutting climate finance would be a massive betrayal of countries and communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis and of this government’s manifesto commitments to be a climate leader.

Was incredible last night and clear skies tonight!

True. Will never manage her prolificacy this way tho...

I dust my house. My AI robot watches.

"It should be you doing this."

"Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark."

"That's not why you were invented."

"These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise."

"They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them."

"Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump • 1h + Their air defense, Air Force, Navy, and Leadership is gone. They want to talk. I said "Too Late!"

That’s that then.

imagine being a family member seeing your mother or father with an AI hand up their corpse making their mouth flap for a subscription fee and you didn't give a single shred of consent

Ffs!

I have just sent the following email to my Labour MP, Jeff Smith. Text is in Alt - feel free to use/adapt it. But whatever the case, write to your MP!

Feels like the techbros that grew up playing violent war games now get to play real wars on real people, yay!

So fun to live at a time of AI-mediated warfare. It has been so brilliantly unproblematic in every other sphere

Oh wow, fantastic! I hope you will be dictating the manuscript from your chaise longue in homage as per title

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

The Chancellor appears to have forgotten to mention the whole global clean energy boom and escalating climate crisis again.

Spring prettiness!

If you want to know how the British print news industry ends (which is, de facto, amazingly still what supports most newspaper websites) it's the distribution channels getting banjaxed. When you lose "TG Jones" etc even people who want a paper can't get one. That'll be the real start of the ending.

Between this and the rapid rate global stocks of interceptor missiles are being burned up at, this is a truly *fantastic* week for Russia.

Ah...

yup

They’re now speaking about it openly.

UK media demonised the whole refugee community because of the actions of 1 sexual abuser .Now they cheer 📣 a pedophile president ,who protects & promotes other rapists & murders & steals indiscriminately . Is there a precedent for this ? At least in Nazi Germany people pretended they didn’t know .

Green MP Ellie Chowns on the elections bill last night: "It is really quite extraordinary that the Thailand-based crypto investor Christopher Harborne has been allowed to donate £9 million to Reform UK. I notice that its Members are still not here" (2/3rds of the way into the debate)
