Love this
It feels like London is two thirds Canadian right now. And it’s lovely.
Starmer:
"Late to your illegal war, General BoneSpurs? What a cheek."
"It took America 3 years to join us against Germany in WW1, and two years to help fight the Nazis in WW2!"
"By the way, where are those #EpsteinFiles you promised?"

Go Yvette Cooper!
A little bit obsessed with all the nut clusters currently ‘ashamed to be British’ because Starmer didn’t sign us up to this shit show.
If y'all have any interest in accurate information, you simply cannot depend solely on American media. 😳👇
Also: Mrs Mondrich. A key (non) intervention saves the day. Bravo. #sisterhood #Bridgerton
I am so here for Bridgerton-does-Panto. And Cinderella is a great tale to tell. Alfie (Buttons) is my fave.
Billionaire brothers who backed Tories give Reform £100k Oliver Wright Extracts Britain's second-richest family have begun giving money to Reform UK after years of supporting the Conservatives. A company linked to the property tycoons David and Simon Reuben donated £100,000 to Nigel Farage's party the first time the brothers have given to any party other than the Tories. Reform has also received £3 million from Christopher Harborne, 63, an entrepreneur who now lives in Thai-land, adding to the ty million he gave in August. At the time, that was the biggest single donation to a UK political party by a living donor. In the last quarter of last year, Reform received more than £5.4 million in do-nations, the Conservatives were given £2.4 million and Labour received £1.9 million. The Reuben brothers - David, 87, and Simon, 84, who own property including Millbank Tower and Admiralty Arch in London — have donated almost El million to the Conservative Party since 2008. They also supported Boris Johnson after he left No 10, giving him office space worth £85,000. Their family wealth was put at £26.87 billion in The Sunday Times Rich List last year. Reform UK has its headquarters in Millbank Tower, but it is not known whether the brothers donation linked to reduced rent payments. Other Reform donors include David John Grainger, the co-founder of a biotech firm, and Gary Dutton, a double glazing entrepreneur, who both gave the party £250,000. Reform also received £100,000 from Isabel Goldsmith, sister of the former Tory minister Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park. Her father, Sir James Gold-smith, was seen as the godfather of British Euroscepticism. For the second quarter in a row Lord Bamford, the chairman of JCB, gave £200,000 each to the Conservatives and Reform. At the time of his first do-nation, the company said he was "sup-portive of pro-business political parties that create the conditions for these businesses to grow and prosper".
More billionaire cash bankrolling Reform.
JCB’s chairman, Bamford, said he was “supportive of pro-business political parties that create conditions for these businesses to grow and prosper."
Reform wants to repeal the Equality Act.
Prosperity for them means loss of rights and pay for us.

Once again Trump uses an attack on a sovereign nation as a massive distraction.
Also, the Tories got how much of the vote?
Oh dear. Matt Goodwin’s a very sore loser isn’t he?
If you live in the Gorton and Denton constituency and spoke to a Reform party member on your doorstep or in the streets then I'd like to speak to you for an article. My DMs are open.
BBC doing a brilliant job as ever 👏👏 #Trump #stateoftheunion #sotu

None of these are whippets. The whippets are all at home having refused to cross the threshold onto that weird stuff that’s cold and isn’t the sofa.
I cannot recommend this more. Brilliantly written, funny and devastating. #dirtybusiness #channel4

Couldn’t stop. Watched the whole thing. Thank you Ash Smith and Peter Hammond and everyone else involved in the fight against the water companies #dirtybusiness
The biggest problem with solar energy is not that it is intermittent, it is that greedy people cant make it scarce nor monopolize it.

Channel 4’s Dirty Business is a clarion call to nationalise the water industry
As the drama shows, private firms no longer able to pollute the coast of England of Wales just switched to rivers instead

Lawyers for imprisoned British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell are fighting the requested release of 90,000 pages related to Jeffrey Epstein, saying a law used to force the recent public release of millions of documents is unconstitutional.
Wow.
“<Driverless cars> have to prove they meet strict safety standards, including protection from misuse via hacking or cyber threats, … . By contrast, AI tools that enable the harassment, humiliation, abuse and relentless hounding of women apparently require no such guardrails.”
