Dear Gorton & Denton,

Something you might want to hear...

EU foreign chief Kaja Kallas said Russia is receiving more at the negotiating table than it achieved on the battlefield. She stated Moscow barely moved beyond the 2014 front line at the cost of 1.2 million casualties and is now putting forward unrealistic demands in negotiations. #Ukraine

I bonded with Virginia a few years back over a mutual fascination with Edge.org. I recognised its influence years ago, even pitched a piece on it...but I did not seethe ideology beneath the 'science' Epstein/Brockman promoted which @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social lays bare

Trump Makes Bizarre Claim After Learning That Vance Got Booed During Olympics Opening Ceremony

Excuse me?

YouTube video by Sky News Green Party leader Zack Polanski says criticism of Israeli government is a 'moral responsibility'

My interview this morning on Sky News.

Questions on NATO, Palestine Action and Starmers authoritarianism.

European states must retract outrageous attacks on Francesca Albanese They should publicly apologize and retract calls for her resignation

Doctored video triggers attacks by five EU States on UN Special Rapporteur - now who would do that?

China is extending its visa waiver policy to include UK and Canadian citizens, the foreign ministry announced. No visa needed to enter China and stay for up to 30 days for business, tourism, family and friends visits.

I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.

Not sure if people realise this is humanity's last chance to get the paedo demon worshippers out of power. If we don't tear down the system now, they'll get away with a limited hangout and plunge us all into an inescapable tech totalitarianism.

Unbelievably this wasn’t even raised on SkyNews just now during the interview with Reform's head of policy Zia Yusuf.

If UK news shows won’t call this boll**** out let’s do it ourselves

Four months on from ceasefire, Gazans still being killed Since the ceasefire in Gaza was declared last October, hundreds of people have been killed and injured, writes Yvonne Murray.

Dotcom deja vu: How to shield your finances from an AI stock crash, according to the experts If you’re of a certain vintage, talk of an AI stock bubble may be giving you a whiff of deja vu back to the turn of the century.

While the so-called Magnificent Seven – Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Nvidia, Meta, Microsoft, and Tesla – are hugely profitable, many investors worry they are getting in over their heads with a debt-fuelled investment splurge in AI hardware and software that may not deliver tangible returns

Russian forces attacked Sumy with a reportedly new type of UAV, the Shahed 107. A drone impact was recorded, with windows blown out at the site of impact. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported so far. #Ukraine

1/ While the Russia army struggles with the impact of Telegram and Discord being throttled or blocked by the government, Ukraine has long used a highly sophisticated indigenously developed digital command and control system. Russian warbloggers have highlighted the contrast. ⬇️

Listen to the reaction there. Real Irish people, cheering on the debut of another real Irish man.

Don't pay too much attention to what anonymous blue tick accounts based in Tel Aviv, Bangladesh, or the US think.

Frogface IS NOT concerned about ordinary hard working people.
The right wing agenda in USA has failed ordinary citizens and lined the pockets of the wealthiest, something Reform Party will prioritise as far more important.

Reform have totally let the cat out of the bag about who they are.

Zia Yusuf lecturing that poverty and peoples everyday struggles with rising bills and rent is exaggerated.

A party of the failed status quo, funded and representing big corporate interests.

‘She saw him ­coming’: the con artist, an isolated father, and the poisoning that left a family bereft Thomas Ruttle was Julia Holmes’s final victim. But the events that led to his death still remain a mystery to his family, a decade on.

'He was vulnerable, and this person just took him over, and took over. His whole life changed completely. I’m angry, because everything would have been so different, and the boys would have their father — and he would love to see the men they’ve turned out to be'

This is truly terrifying, like the Nazis we are simply erasing people from existence, and it is happening without anyone questioning it.

Measles outbreak hits north London schools as dozens of children infected — The Standard More than 60 suspected cases reported across seven schools and nursery in Enfield as area battles one of lowest vaccine uptake rates in country

Measles outbreak in North London which is one of the worst areas for take-up of the vaccine.

NY has a Zohran, the UK has a Polanski, we deserve people with hearts and values like these two.

Exclusive: Greens Hit Out At Reform 'Frauds' After Zia Yusuf Suggests Poverty Rates Are Exaggerated "Reform have totally let the cat out of the bag this morning about what they really stand for."

Wild to see wealthy Reform politician "explaining" to poor people they don't understand their own experience.

Let's make sure every single person in Gorton & Denton (and the country!) knows exactly that Reform is bankrolled by dodgy donors. Mask is off.

This isn't something distant or far away. Super-agent & close Epstein ally, John Brockman had huge influence. His 'rockstar' writers, scientists and academics dominated our book pages & broadsheets.

We need nothing less than a total revisionist history of the last 20 years.
