U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

Keir Starmer, "President Trump has expressed his disagreement with our decision not to get involved in the initial strikes"

"But it is my duty to judge what is in Britain's national interest"

"That is what I've done and I stand by it"

👏

So much will be said about all this in the coming days, but IMO the biggest takeaway is that James Watt and Martin Dickie each pocketed more than the price BrewDog was eventually sold for, while 500 hardworking staff are now out of a job & 220k equity punks don't get a dime.

Absolute charlatans.

There's more information in this one post than in most news programmes on the situation.

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.

Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

You know what? Let’s not fact check the idiots who think Ayatollah Khameini, the Iranian supreme leader killed today, was the same guy as Ayatollah Khomeini, who led the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Let them believe he was 124 years old. In fact, persuade them he was kept alive as a head in a jar.

This is racism, pure and simple. It’s also a test. The UK press needs to describe it for exactly what it is: that Reform’s candidate made a racist and inflammatory losing statement

If Nigel Farage is angry about voter fraud, wait until he hears about the millions of pounds Arron Banks paid Cambridge Analytica to influence the Leave EU campaign, fronted by *checks notes*

Nigel Farage…

In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law

BREAKING: Angela Rayner response to Gorton and Denton by-election result

The most hilarious thing about today is Reform blaming their loss on Islamists…

…who famously always vote in their masses for women and gay Jewish men.

What is happening about Johnson Farage and Rees Mogg working with Bannon and Epstein to bring down May?

I expect to be told. And quickly.

Look.

People get divorced for all manner of reasons, and it's nobody else's business.

However.

When a politician is using the slogan:

Family. Community. Country.

It's perfectly reasonable to point out that they are recently divorced and live in the SE of England miles from Gorton and Denton.

Nazi supporting paper says what?

Political people love to debate who the worst modern PM in modern times was but it's unquestionably Cameron.

10 years ago this week he gambled the prosperity and fragile unity of the UK on a referendum on an issue that most people didn't even understand to placate back benchers and fucked us all.

Take care of yourself Alex…everything else can wait xx

Donald Trump is placing a 10% Global Tariff on all goods to the USA, which will be paid by American citizens.

I remind them, you literally had a Revolution because you didn't want to pay a tax on tea.

photo of a man, Trevor fisher, in his hospice bed this week, filmed by channel 4 news

This is Trevor Fisher, speaking to @channel4news.bsky.social from Arthur Rank Hospice in Cambridgeshire this week.

As a palliative care specialist, Trevor’s interview has devastated me.

His hospice has just been told Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust is withdrawing £800k of funding. 🧵

Wes Streeting, Health Secretary: "Farage has announced his Shadow Cabinet, with no Health Secretary.

Presumably because if he becomes Prime Minister, there’ll be no NHS."

The patent for Insulin was sold for $1 by its inventor so it could be provided almost for free.

Insulin costs $2 to make in the USA.

The average price of insulin in the USA is now $1500 a month.

Europe and the UK should come closer together – on security, on economy or on defending our democracies.

Ten years on from Brexit, our futures are as bound as ever.

So, it is in our common interest to be ambitious about our partnership.

Bill Clinton fighting back. I like it.

I’m in the UK. One of our international PhD students was invited to present at a conference in San Diego in March. He applied, was interviewed and received a US visa prior to Christmas. Last week his visa was suspended because he is from Nigeria with no route to appeal. This is what the US is now. 😞

Interesting data point from Gordon Brown's interview on R4 Today this morning

91 sitting Lords are paid lobbyists

Read the comment below, printed in the Sun 31st January 2026, where JEREMY CLARKSON critiques REFORM UK and Farage's appeal to voters.

One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world…

And the usual voices who claim to care about ‘women and girls’ have nothing to say.

We see you.

£3!! Geez! Haven’t bought a newspaper in years; had no idea this trash was so expensive!!
