Mr, Prince, whatever.

Thinking about this brave woman.

King Charles strips Andrew of prince title and ejects him from mansion Royal subject to ‘censures deemed necessary’ in sharp change of tone by Buckingham Palace

This is the Royal equivalent of the amputation of a gangrenous limb to stop the rest of The Firm getting infected.

An act of self-preservation.

If it was integrity, then they'd have booted Andrew out years ago.

They didn't.

Biden Justice Department slow-walked key decisions in Trump legal probes The picture of a hesitant Justice Department runs contrary to the GOP allegation that the indictments of Trump were the product of a Democrat-led plot.

No more moderates. Thanks.

Horrified how cowed even the most powerful are currently

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'

We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.

Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.

Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

Surreal conversation this morning on housing #GMB

➡️£4 billion UC on council houses

➡️ £10 billion UC to private landlords

➡️ And £3-4 billion in profit to private landlords every year

Labour's failure to set up a gov backed social housing initiative and relying on private builders is a scandal

They should be pursued to the ends of the earth on criminal charges and for asset recovery

Reading Virginia Giuffre’s book. An interview she gave to ABC never went out because the monarchy put the network under pressure and they feared losing access to ‘William and Kate’. These entitled leeches are all just trying to save their own skin right now. Don’t trust any of them. 🤮

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: Of Tyranny 199. As usurpation is the exercise of power which another hath a right to, so tyranny is the exercise of power beyond right, which nobody can have a right to. And this is making use of the power anyone has in his hands, not for the good of those who are under it, but for his own private, separate advantage. When the governor, however entitled, makes not the law but his will the rule, and his commands and actions are not directed to the preservation of the properties of his people, but the satisfaction of his own ambition, revenge, covetousness, or any other irregular passion

OpenAI's Sora 2 Can Generate Videos of Celebrities Appearing to Shout Racial Slurs OpenAI's Sora 2 video generation model can be exploited to push misinformation and depict public figures behaving badly despite promised guardrails.

At some point it has to become clear that this tech exists is to create a more toxic society and enrich its owners. These uses are not aberrations but rather the entire purpose.

Right, so what are we going to do about this, with respect to the people who lied and lied to accomplish #Brexit, and benefitted financially from it? And didn’t even attempt to backtrack/ tell the nation the truth in the window when that was possible? #FBPE
