No sanctions over
Reform's by-election rule breach Reform UK
Reform UK's Matt Goodwin faced GB News complaint over colleague's claim of
'inappropriate comments' Members of Reform's campaign team shared racist content online and aligned themselves with far-right groups We have found that five of Matt Goodwin's campaign team have made antisemitic or Islamophobic comments. Most alarming is one of Goodwin's campaign managers, Adam Mitula. "I wouldn't touch a Jewish woman," Mitula has posted on X. Elsewhere, he has posted the n-word and engaged in Holocaust revisionism, questioning the number of Jewish dead.
Mitula has also said that "60-70%" of trans people are paedophiles.

So, Matt Goodwin cheated, he had a Nazi-sympathising campaign manager, a team of racist campaigners aligned to far right hate groups and he himself was accused of sexual harassment by a colleague at GBNews.

Please god don’t inflict this foul piece of shit on the rest of us, #GortonandDenton

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

For humans, static electricity is a curiosity. For insects, it can be life or death: spiders use it to catch prey, bumblebees to collect pollen, and nematodes to leap onto passing flies.

A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

Penny wise, pound foolish: The cost of reduced support for measles prevention Measles, a vaccine-preventable disease previously declared eliminated in the United States, is reemerging with over 1400 cases reported in 2025. This …

T. Joseph Mattingly estimates that the 2025 measles outbreak in Texas will cost $90M. Measles is expensive. It's also preventable. Vaccination increases productivity & reduces costs.

Vaccination is healthy for people & the economy.
