Democrats have some questions about DHS buying private jets to be used by Kristi Noem The homeland security secretary was already a controversial figure. Then her agency bought two private jets for her and other DHS officials.

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all.

Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

A tweet from Aaron Rupar quotes Trump saying: “I think it’s a joke. I looked at the people. They are not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs I guess paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics. It looks like it was. We're checking it out. The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective. And the people were whacked out.” Below the text is a news screenshot showing Trump speaking inside an airplane, identified as Air Force One, wearing a dark suit with a red tie. The CNN chyron reads: “BREAKING NEWS — TRUMP TO PRESS ON AIR FORCE ONE.”

Look, Donald. The “very small, very ineffective” line worked when Stormy Daniels said it, not here.

Charlie Kirk hate tweet.

Charlie Kirk treated gratitude like it’s a hate crime.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Wasted Wind Britain wastes millions a day switching off wind turbines. See how much has been wasted today, and in 2025.

Trump’s reaction to Carlos Alcaraz winning the US Open.

The BBC must balance their political news so it doesn’t boost Nigel Farage’s dangerous, divisive politics.

A TruthSocial post from Donald Trump, featuring an AI generated image of him in front of Chicago burning and under invasion with the words “Chipocalypse Now” near him stylized like the poster for the film Apocalypse Now. The text accompanying the post reads “‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning…’ Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR 🚁🚁🚁”

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here.

This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

"It got the debate going and that's why we put him on."

Reform’s Laila Cunningham explains why her party allowed a 'quack' to falsely claim that the Covid vaccines gave the King cancer.

Very true but I would have thought even their loyalty would have strained

Anyone who fails to see that we are careening toward fascism is not paying attention.

Entertainer founder hands over toy shop chain to staff The toy retailer's 1,900 workers will get a share of profits and a say in how the business is run.

Gary and Catherine Grant, founders of the UK's largest toy shop chain The Entertainer, are transferring 100% ownership to their employees.

The store's workers will benefit from a share in the profits and will be able to participate in company decisions.

And we're officially at the end of being able to trust the jobs numbers in this country ever again.

The economy is showing severe warning signs after Trump's six months back in office. This shouldn't be surprising. He's running the economy like he ran his businesses — into the ground. https://youtu.be/zbh9SW5Cgqg?feature=shared

Breaking from the Office of Pres. Obama:

"Our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

Did you know about the Franco-British Union proposed by Churchill's war cabinet during early days of WW2?

I didn't until yesterday! Why don't more of us know about this?
