It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.

It’s now almost 2 months since Nigel Farage was scheduled to appear on #bbclaurak as part of her Leaders Interview but pulled out due to being β€œunder the weather”

He’s currently in America supporting a foreign president over his own country

that the Trump administration is trying to shut down a leading AI company because it’s unwilling to develop autonomous murder systems is terrifying, and should be of grave concern to everyone in the world

Yesterday, the White House used Call of Duty frames in their Iran war hype video.

They are hyping the prospect of war like an exciting video game.

Yes, I know this administration has no bottom.

No class, no integrity, no honor, no decency.

Yet they never cease to shock me.

Wait. They are releasing Epstein files to distract Americans from the war in Iran now?

I had this with a different retailer, they flatly refused to fix it and just kept telling me my delivery was on its way. I ended up texting the person from the number in the order confirmation email and sorting it out with them which felt pretty uncomfortable.

I particularly resent rags like Daily Mail gleefully reporting Trump’s bullying of Starmer. It’s disloyal and hypocritical - they’d be screaming from rooftops if U.K. meekly followed European diktats, yet would have us unquestioningly kowtow to Trump. Starmer’s task is incredibly difficult.

No it doesn’t tell you much, let alone everything, which is a pretty tired and thoughtless clichΓ©. Also MPs need exercise too don’t they?

I'm increasingly convinced that Pete Hegseth is a sadist with a fetish for violence.

The grotesque relish in his perversely detailed descriptions of firepower and domination is deeply disturbing.

Anyone with his psychological profile should be nowhere near military decision-making.

I don’t think I could be any more disgusted with some of the British media

Whether you agree with your PM or not, in a situ like this, you do not become a mouthpiece for a foreign President to actively scheme against your own PM

It is the antithesis of patriotism & just plain wrong

I think there was tactical voting, but in hindsight wasn’t necessary given the vote share. The greens won the argument about who was the tactical choice and therefore a bigger vote share than perhaps they might have done. But with or without tactical voting Goodwin would have lost.

Unfortunately, support for the beliefs that undergird this kind of action aren't fringe in the US. Surveys shows that 1/3 of Americansβ€”and ~2/3 of White Evangelical Christiansβ€”hold Christian nationalist views, and similar numbers believe that we're living in the end times, with Christ's return near.

I wish they would, most Labour members want it. I think the argument used to be that it would let parties like reform in but that doesn’t work any more. The polarisation of our system wastes so much energy.

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

I believe you can still start HRT quite a long time after menopause and that it can still be helpful re bone and cardiovascular health. Not many studies done as yet I don’t think.

Uncut Trumpism. No election is valid unless they win it. Farage and Reform UK are outright enemies of democracy and the Mail is actively aiding them.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

β€œI was completely heartbroken”: Trans woman forced to stop playing cricket for fun | Good Law Project When the ECB banned trans women, Lily’s amateur club barred her from the team where she had played for years – we’re helping her hit back

"These rules are hurting women who just want to play sport with their friends.

"We’re helping Lily sue the ECB for discrimination under the Equality Act 2010. Lily, and players like her across the UK, are pillars of their community, and excluding them is a stain on women’s sport."

Did you know our Labour government launched a National Plan to End Homelessness, backed by Β£3.6bn, in December?

It includes record funding to tackle rough sleeping, end use of B&Bs for families, & prevent people becoming homeless in the first place.

2 new connected funds are launched today.

Character should always count. But it’s a societal emergency when the characters of those shaping how we access and process information β€” in essence, how we think β€” emerge from the gutters of misogyny and racism.

Relevant to today's conversation about AI's inherent sexism, here's an email from cognitive psychologist and early AI theorist Roger Schank, arguing to Epstein that women can't be truly intelligent, because they care too much about what other people think.
