"Grief and Destruction" - Marsh Family parody of Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction" on war in Iran YouTube video by Marsh Family

The Marsh Family nail it once more.

Having nursed &taught, I want all those seeing this to be aware that it wasn’t just a single act &done! Abuse, especially sexual abuse, ruins lives! These children relive the act, the feelings of abandonment & impotence! There is physical damage that may never repair! PTSD & mental distress! /1

I’m so old I remember when Reagan proudly said that what distinguished America was that anyone could become equally an American, regardless of where they had been born.

Party leaders bravely U-turn on support for Iran war after noticing it was costing them votes Two of the UK’s most principled party leaders—Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage—have performed screeching U-turns on their support for the Iran war after noticing it was costing them votes.

The Conservative and Reform leaders, who believe in absolutely nothing other than stoking division, realised the public aren’t so keen on recession or conscription and have therefore put their bloodlust on hold.

Oh look. Proof that investing in renewable energy reduces dependency on fossil fuels and reduces people's energy bills

“The assessment, by the Cabinet Office’s Propriety and Ethics Team, also highlighted his previous financial ties to Russia, which continued “long after” Putin’s annexation of Crimea.”

Or even before? www.thetimes.com/travel/desti...

Keir Starmer and Morgan McSweeney Ignored Warnings About Peter Mandelson’s Epstein and Russia links Documents reveal Mandelson’s appointment as ambassador to the US was rushed through despite warnings about the “reputational risks” of his financial and personal ties

Mandelson’s previous financial ties to Russia continued “long after” Putin’s annexation of Crimea.

Powell “raised concerns” about his appointment directly to McSweeney, saying it was being “weirdly rushed”.

McSweeney responded that the issues had been addressed

Mandelson demanded £547,000 after he was fired as ambassador to US Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was warned of ‘reputational risk’ over peer’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, official documents show

He still got away with £75k of taxpayer’s cash 🤬🤬🤬

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

Just like 2020 when Trump downplayed over 100 service members with traumatic brain injuries as “headaches”, and downplaying covid deaths, Trump is never honest with the American people about this if he thinks it makes him look bad. Because Trump is all about Trump. www.cbsnews.com/news/strike-...

C’était une perte de temps, à mon avis 🙄

Looks great 👍🏼

I don’t understand… how is this even possible?

Pentagon budget under Pete Hegseth spends £93 billion in one month … wow, ok

But $2 million on crab and $7 million on lobster tails in ONE month! Very fishy indeed!

Editorial in the Guardian:

"This crisis must see the government focus like a laser on faster decarbonisation, not more drilling"

Ffs Labour don’t seem to realise that Freedom of Movement isn’t about immigration …

it’s about the 4 freedoms of Labour AND capital AND goods AND services.

And all four are essential to get our economy going again.

A trade deal with an unreliable country just isn’t going to cut it.

Hereditary peers to be removed from the House of Lords after deal struck Agreement broke a months-long impasse over one of the biggest constitutional reforms in decades

There is one place that the government is backing 'fire and re-hire' - and that's the House of Lords. Up to 15 hereditary peers could be brought back as life peers following a deal made to remove the remaining aristocratic legislators.

Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords as bill passes The bill abolishes the 92 seats reserved for peers who inherit their titles through their families.

There is no place in a modern democracy for people influencing our laws due to an accident of birth. But neither should there be for people due to the politicians they pleased, or the donations they made.

This is violent, sickening rhetoric.

GB News commentator claiming here that non “indigenous” people are committing “genocide” against the UK.

GB News is beyond the fucking pale

thought the name rang a bell and though he's poshified himself - once upon a time he was "Craig Dillon" - I interviewed this guy back in 2019 as he was doing social media for MPs in a vaguely interesting way - crucially, he seemed entirely normal back then! yet another radicalisation case
