You’ve given me an idea for a fantastic product I am bound to make a killing on in present times. Thanks! I’ll just have to remember to use a different tax haven than Dubai…

Come on, dead children are dead children. I get your point about cynicism of a regime. Grieving families already know that the regime destroyed somebody else’s children, too. Their pain doesn’t need to be qualified.

You really don’t need a β€œbut” in this conversation.

Is it a cream or embalming fluid?

Actually, I find it incredibly easy to believe this. Small boys are not known for their analytical powers as much as for running around pointing plastic guns and shouting piew! piew! at each other. Hegseth doesn’t strike me as much more mature than that.

"[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

I see nominative determinism doesn’t always work then, huh.

Only in general election. As an EU citizen living in Wales I can vote in local elections and the Senedd election.

People who don't know Khomeini and Khamenei were two different people, and that not every Muslim recognizes Ayatollahs should not be allowed anywhere near the government, let alone start foreign wars.

Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. That’s the lesson from Gorton and Denton | Sadiq Khan The threat to the party in some parts of our country is now existential. But we can progress, as we have in London, by being bold and strong in our core beliefs, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them."

Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan

I know one shouldn’t judge a person’s name, but in this guy’s case… bloody hell.

I don’t understand what the problem is with the alley in that photo. Not one street urchin in it, no crime captured. Why does it cause an attack of vapours??

If Reform had won Starmer would be on his knees to those voters begging for forgiveness. Greens win and it's like "Fuck off cranks"

I commented the other day that Dubai is only 70 miles from Iran. Maybe paying VAT on school fees might have been a wiser option.

I guess asking about Congress oversight and approval is just childlike silliness at this point.

To anyone still gullible enough to fall for scummy media hoaxes: Trump said warmongering neocons love sending your kids to die for wars they would never fight themselves. Liz Cheney is Kamala’s top advisor. Liz wants to invade the whole Middle East. Kamala = WWIII. Trump = Peace.
