Trump and his administration are THE WORST in the history of the United States.

Some days it's utterly relentless... The wealth redistribution from the poor to the rich has to stop.

The great thing about stupidity is that it simultaneously feels endowed with an insight for solutions beyond the reach of the merely intelligent, and the confidence of a minor character in the first twenty minutes of a horror movie.

I really can't argue against this.

The invisible man whose millions are transforming British... Nigel Farage aims to win big in May’s elections, helped by a record-breaking £12m donation from a secretive billionaire. Christopher Harborne lives in Thailand, made a fortune in cryptocurrency and ba...

Democracy should fund democracy, not private individuals, companies, or trade unions. Time for the UK to consider moving to state funding for political parties? observer.co.uk/news/politic...

Over 160 schoolgirls are dead. Anthropic and Palantir executives must immediately testify and tell the public whether their AI is responsible.

Perhaps something is going on. I hope so. As I said, there is no downside to taking action. Virtually the whole population would cheer the govt. on.

Modernisation Committee Chair comments on new ‘MPs' outside interests’ inquiry - Committees - UK Parliament Commenting on the launch of the Standards Committee’s new inquiry into MPs' outside interests, Rt Hon Lucy Powell MP, Chair of the Modernisation Committee and Leader of the House of Commons, sai...

The Commons modernisation committee under @lucympowell.bsky.social promised an investigation of MPs' outside interests and employment, and enlisted the standards committee to work on it.

Everything seems to have gone quiet.

Every journalist who interviews Farage, or has an opportunity to question him should raise this as a public service. And Parliament should act immediately to ban it. No doubt Nigel would whine, but that would just help focus public attention. There are no downsides to taking action.

It should not be possible for MPs, elected to work to represent us to do this.

I love a really good fake quote.

This one has all the ingredients because it sounds nothing like Orwell, is poorly written, and incredibly dumb.

"But if you attach a famous name and deliver it with whispered gravitas, there will always be dumbasses who'll believe it."

Yeeeah… 'Fanfare for the Common Man'

When I saw this being reported on the televisual news, I too, thought this was hilarious…
We need a new 'irony-meter'… the old one's cattle-trucked.

Someone in the Commons really does need to ask to what extent Palantir — supposedly involved in saving lives in the NHS — is simultaneously ending them in the Middle East.

Absolutely insupportable. Labour have a massive majority. It’s a hugely popular issue. To fail to act would be a dereliction of historic proportions, and utterly inexplicable.

N'oubliez jamais que si le #Brexit a eu lieu, c'est parce que ces journaux ont vendu des milliers de mensonges contre l' #UE et l' #immigration.

Hello!

Hello?

Anyone there?

Is this thing on?

While Russians paraded under their flag to the sporting world’s cheers, their missiles murdered a 13 year old girl in Kharkiv. Shame on the IOC!

Atypically, I'm kind of looking for advice on this one, so I guess add some tags?

My doctor told me it's because of the joint things, but it's in the muscle, and it's only the one
