A glorious speech from @rigg.lgbt
Lib Dems are against enslavement by ignorance or conformity.
Those against this motion argue from ignorance and seek to impose conformity.

Well done to the @libdems.org.uk passing F9 Free to Be Who You Are standing up to the ethos of the party.

Excellent speech @rigg.lgbt and contained righteous anger against the falsehoods spread by those against.

So that trip to Sainsburys took a little longer than expected. They have moved things around and some of it doesn't make sense to flow.

So what is "illegal" protest?

Asking for friends and the First Amendment.

Have we heard from Keir Starmer yet about Trump and Vance's bullying in the Oval Office.

Or should we expect a lettuce to appear on our screens soon.

Including breaking article 49 of the Geneva Conventions.

Certainly all I've seen it is being jeered around the world. Including Russia and China, the Middle East (except Israel), Europe, the G7, even Cuba.

Pretty sure the US Speaker Mike Johnson misspoke the word jeered. It certainly fits reality better.

Trump's annoucement about Gaza was "jeered by people all around the world". While also calmly pointing out it illegality under Article 49 of the Geneva Conventions.

There fixed it for him.

Well yeah, there is that. He doesn't have a diplomatic thought in his head, has no idea how to play nice with others.

So Trump says the US wants to take over the Gaza Strip and turn it into the "Riveria of the Middle East".

This is the issue with having a property developer as President, who has no respect for other nations or nationalities.

Don't think Warner Bros. Discovery quite envisioned how putting minority sports behing a paywall that football would expect would go down. Big dip in share price as many cancel subscriptions.

Pete Hegseth confirmed as Trump's defence secretary The one-time Fox News television host and combat veteran was narrowly confirmed in the Senate late on Friday.

Not a good look with a supposed Senate majority, not even a week into your term that the VP has to cast the deciding vote to affirm the US Defence Secretary.

Of course Trump is going to say Ukraine shouldn't have fought back against Putin. He wants the same sort of response from Canada when he tires to annex them, Panama when he seizes the canal and Denmark when his stormtroopers march into Nuuk.

Screenshot of a tweet from 'Republicans against Trump' with the caption: 'This is unbelievable.' The tweet reads: 'The Washington Post reveals that an aide working for Mike Johnson persuaded Republicans not to issue a subpoena for former WH aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who testified to the Jan. 6 committeeβ€”fearing it could expose the sexual texts many of them had sent her.' Below the text is an image showing Cassidy Hutchinson seated at a table in a formal setting, flanked by men and women in business attire.

Actually it’s totally believable.

Never would I have though the lack of wind would be so strange but around 3-4 pm this afternoon when the winds quietened down for the first time since about midnight it felt strange. This is still the odd gust, but not such a high mean wind speed.

At times you could hear the PVC struggling.

Oh dear, it looks like POTUS has a wild Russian bear on his hands. Guess he doesn't quite have the ability to make Putin stop the war on Ukrainian soil.

It has come to our attention that POTUS wants to rename things.

ME, NH, RI, CN, MS will henceforth be known one more as the New England Colonies
NY, NJ, PA, DE the Middle Colonies
MD, VA, NC, SC, GA the Southern Colonies.

We'll leave the French and Mexico to rename other parts of North America

So Trump is saying the Golden Age of America has begun.

Does that mean he is going to cover the Mexican wall in Gold Plate like much of Trump's residences?

I may support Liverpool but this sums up the man, the legend that was Denis Law.

Playing for arch rivals City in the last game of the 1973-74 season he scored the goal that he thought would relegate his former team United and refused to celebrate.

In the end it didn't matter due to other results.

Donald Trump's inauguration moved indoors due to 'dangerous' cold The last president to be sworn-in indoors was Ronald Reagan in 1985, when cold weather also plagued the US Capitol.

Strangley the guy wants Greenland and Canada.

Personally rather lucky I pay attention in supermarket car parks.

Was cylcing out of Sainsbury's in Bangor earlier and a car driver came to the junction and I noticed they didn't once look left but drove on fixated with the exit on the right to beat a car that was on its way in.

All porn sites must 'robustly' verify UK user ages by July Ofcom is issuing industry guidance which sets out the tech adult websites must use to check ages.

Hopefully the fact that my email address is old enough to watch porn, meeting one of Ofcoms list of technologies to access...should I want to.

Sources: Mike McCarthy is out as #Cowboys coach.

The sides couldn’t agree on length of contract and McCarthy will pursue other opportunities. He leaves Dallas with a winning record and three playoff appearances.
