This is not the way
These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.
@lner.co.uk Hi there, when will you release details of timetables/engineering works etc over the late May bank holiday weekend?
Wonder how 2PP would look with ONP in second place. Could be quite a mess?
Come a long way from the bowls of fruit and beanbag vibes haven't we
The guy that runs the Reddit where people post about patting their cat on the butt like bongos has put his foot down
Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff.
Game on.
News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
“You guys, Hitler wants to see Poland succeed”

Rudy Giuliani standing at a lectern in front of a landscaping company garage door with a Trump 2020 campaign sign backdrop. The whole thing looks hastily thrown together because it was.
Happy Four Seasons Total Landscaping Day to all who celebrate. Five years now since the funniest political moment of my entire life.
photo of a sign outside the door of the Oval Office, reading "The Oval Office" in gold bullshit script, made out of three sheets of paper
Close-up image of the same sign
[P] Found a higher-quality photo; IT *IS* TAPED UP SHEETS OF PAPER!
The name Manfred is the human equivalent of Spongebob
Interesting piece: if Tesla collapses Musk’s entire empire could come crashing down because of the way he’s structured the companies’ finances.
/2 The Roberts Court 6-3 majority is best understood not as a genuine or legitimate independent adjudicatory body but as a ceremonial adjunct to the Trump government, like a First Lady or a second-born prince in a constitutional monarchy.
tbf, the English sparkling wine is absolutely excellent ...but yes, climate change 😔
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.
This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.
The absolute bloody vandalism of austerity in one chart. Good analysis of the overall picture here.
Hiya Marie, do you mind if I share this with some London friends?
*Properly* closing down Russian civil aviation and airspace strikes me as entirely justified while Ukraine is unable to use its own.
every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”
What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.
“Parliament had turned over its constitutional authority to Hitler and thereby committed suicide, though its body lingered on in an embalmed state.”

This strikes me as a pretty major Brexit shift from Starmer.
Perhaps the beginning of 'Brexit is sh1t and has caused real economic damage'.
Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.
All these people really want is to pay no taxes and be treated with floor scraping deference. Everything else is just bullshit in pursuit of that goal.
