Labradorian. Slowing down a little. Still masking. Not so much screaming into the void as mumbling into the void.

Where's Wolf Blitzer reporting from a balcony while the missiles fall? The total media blackout of this war is unprecedented in my lifetime.

β€œNot all men” they say.

But it’s the men who are sworn to protect us.

It’s the men at the highest levels of government.

It’s the men who are police.

It’s the men in your home.

A woman is killed every 10 min by someone she knows.

1 in 3 experience sexual assault.

It’s an epidemic.

The biggest scandal of all is that we still have the Tory guidance in place and staff still have no ffp3 respirators for an airborne virus that is vascular in nature and can cause heart damage & blood clots.

23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? β€œI’m sorry sir”.

ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.

Renee Good’s last words? β€œIt’s ok I’m not mad”.

Alex Pretti’s last words? β€œAre you ok?”

These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.

Abolish ICE

Whiskey Pete asked about Russia helping Iran to target Americans: #cdnpoli
"We're not concerned about that... The only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they're going to live."
An indiscriminate threat against the entire Iranian population.

(πŸ“’) ALERT: See images. Mike is Director of the Center on Conscience and War.

Coupled with other signals I've been writing aboutβ€”and a Post report suggesting a possible attack on Kharg Islandβ€”this is...bad.

On Sunday I'll publish a full book linking the Trump-Epstein Scandal to the Second Iran War.

What we see here is Donald Trump, acting as he always does, as a global chaos generator.

The further we stand away from that, the better off we will be.

Donald Trump has given us the best reason imaginable for trading your gas car in for an EV.

With solar panels, a geothermal heat pump, and an EV, you can get rid of dependence on fossil fuels.

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

Whilst COVID is currently at a lower level at the moment it’s unlikely to stay that way for long and we have had many Summer waves in recent years. Cases tend to climb leading up to the school holidays in previous years. So don’t get caught out.

Absolutely right, this is exactly how I contracted my second Covid infection, we need clean air and better ventilation for our kids in schools, our children are the future there health and safety should be one of our top priorities

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: β€œA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said β€œwe have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said β€œmaybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

I make no money from volunteering

I volunteer a very limited amount because (as I have stated many times) I’m on SSDI/Medicare on full disability

The government verified many times why I can’t work due to severe, complex disabilities (unless treatments and luck change that)

I never read this paper, I know how its readers think, but I am especially curious about what they now. 4 comments, the last comment I circled as it’s reasonable, but look at how many people actually disliked it. So they like them being bombed but they don’t want them to seek refuge

Missouri Advances Three Anti-Trans Bathroom Ban Bills In One Night β€œThis is a make-or-break moment with what just happened in Kansas.”

1. Missouri appears to be forging ahead with 3 bathroom bans in public buildings across the state.

They heard 3 bills in a single night on the topic.

Lawmakers are worried that we could see what happened to Kansas happen there too.

The latest from our writer S. Baum.

The Bad News:

The dental infection which hit me hard back at the start of December, and which hit me again at the *end* of December, has resurged.

The molar tooth involved is going to have to be removed and I've been woken by dental pain this morning and yesterday morning.

The GOOD news is that I knew what to look for in my symptoms, I listened to my body and I'd learnt how to access emergency dental care quickly this time.

I started the antibiotics much more quickly this (third) time and I *think* I've avoided the severe dental pain🀞

Trump administration is failing to address spread of measles, experts say As number of cases climbs past 1,000, experts say CDC is not taking obvious steps amid funding cuts

CDC leadership and RFKJr is utterly failing to respond adequately to the measles epidemic continuing in USA, due to cuts in funding monitoring and reporting of infection has been cut back which further muddies the picture of how bad measles is in the States. 🧡 #HealthPolicy

Question Time - 2026: 05/03/2026 Fiona Bruce presents an hour of topical debate from Kettering. On the panel are Stephen Doughty, James Cleverly, Shashank Joshi, George Monbiot and Annabel Denham.

I don't know how to clip a segment (sorry), but the bit I really want you to watch starts at 29'10". It's about the deep roots of the attack on Iran and why it's just as well Starmer is "no Winston Churchill". I'm surprised this aspect isn't more widely discussed. 🧡
