Supporters of the House of Lords should tell us why Lord Mandelson, Baroness Mone, Lord Houchen, Lord Lebedev and Baroness Owen deserve to be unelected lawmakers for the rest of their lives

BBC News - Kate Nash Discusses Brexit’s Impact on Touring Artists Singer-Songwriter Kate Nash gives evidence on the impact of Brexit on touring musicians

🚨 Our study showed that the number of UK musicians playing at festivals in the EU is still down by 26% compared to pre-Brexit levels.

I saw your fun footnote. I don't know much about cattle grids but I do know about old-school grammar. FWIW, cattle grid used as a compound before a noun gets a hyphen: "cattle-grid application". Otherwise not. The same applies to "old-school grammar" as opposed to grammar of the old school. HTH!

I had to google that one as I thought it was a hibiscus. Now I know what to grow in an Australian desert 😅 Not much good for my plot over here in UK, though climate change makes drought tolerance a useful attribute. Along with flood tolerance and wind resistance... 🙄

It's Monday Part 2, AKA Tuesday.

Prime Minister Carney speaks on the phone with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark.

A good call with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark today.

Greenland’s future is for Greenland and Denmark alone to decide. We reaffirmed our commitment to sovereignty and territorial integrity and discussed our ongoing work to strengthen Arctic security.

Me:

“What about the fact that Trump was found guilty in a civil court for sexual abuse…was that not enough for you to withdraw your support?”

Now listen to the response from Andrea Jenkyns of the Reform Party…

NEW: Emily Thornberry, Labour chair of foreign affairs committee, says police should investigate emails.

"Surely this is not a matter of whether Mandelson should be in the Lords [but]... of whether the police should be involved."

SNP, Lib Dems and PC have all already called for police involvement

Wow, beautiful - but that we would have to wait till mid to late summer for that display where I am in the UK!

Tr**p says he's suing Trevor Noah because he made a joke about Tr**p visiting Epstein's Island as he claims he never went there.
Discovery is going to be interesting, isn't it?

Number of people Tr**p has sued for calling him a paedophile: still zero.

These allegations are incredibly serious, it is now only right that the police investigate Peter Mandelson for potential misconduct in public office.

Belgian PM Bart De Wever,

"President Trump is hostile to the idea of the European Union"

"When he says he loves Europe, he means he loves 27 countries, that would be slaves to the US"

"Because the only economy strong enough to stand up to Trump is the European Union, and he doesn't like it"

While Badenoch fights Farage to be Britain’s version of Trump, we’re focused on fixing the NHS, protecting our country, and getting things done.

While Labour drifts into Reform-lite rhetoric, the Lib Dems are the only ones having a grown-up conversation.

The best deterrent we could have is having a competent immigration system.

🚨BREAKING: ICE drew guns and POINTED THEM at a retired Minneapolis couple in a church parking lot.

“They were obviously not trained… I've known many police officers….They had the professional demeanor of criminals." This is unreal.

#NoWarrantNoICE

As a new anniversary of Brexit arrives, here's a reminder of the chillingly methodical moment when the UK flag was removed from the EU Council building in Brussels. Since then, not a single Brexit promise has come true – and the majority of us now want that flag put back again.

If this photo doesn’t haunt every American citizen then god help them.
And any ‘Christian’ supporting this administration is going straight to hell…I’m certain of it.

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back.

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back.

The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant.

The agents committed murder.

It wasn’t a “bad shoot”. It was a killing

Incarcerated for journalism. And for sticking it to various frauds & grifters who profess to care about ‘free speech’.

Guilty as charged.

Agitator and, perhaps, insurrectionist, Alex Pretti's stock has gone way down with the just released video of him screaming and spitting in the face of a very calm and under control ICE Officer, and then crazily kicking in a new and very expensive government vehicle, so hard and violent, in fact, that the taillight broke off in pieces. It was quite a display of abuse and anger, for all to see, crazed and out of control. The ICE Officer was calm and cool, not an easy thing to be under those circumstances! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

The USA, where the summary execution of an unarmed man can now be justified by the actual president, because on a separate occasion he kicked the tail light of a "very expensive government vehicle."

Vote for Reform for a multimillionaire who makes his living spreading lies on GB News and who lives 200 miles from Manchester.

Please don't complain about useless, selfish MP's who don't give a crap about voters if you are voting for this shite.

Rand Paul: "After seeing this, if you call this a good shooting you aren't watching the video. This was a real tragedy and a mistake. The man had been disarmed and then shot 10 times ... if we say things that are obviously not true, the situation is going to get worse."

Brian May says he'll never tour the US again "because it's too dangerous".

Bruce Springsteen’s angry anti-ICE song is on-the-nose in the right way The star’s urgent and to-the-point protest song is not subtle about its target and right now that’s why it works so well
