Andrew Parsons needs to have a serious talk with himself. Yes, we know the Russian soldiers don't have much choice (other than deserting), but this is a bit of a jump to make.

Aside from the childish unseriousness, the thing that just really stands out to be here is just the artistic and cultural leeching. They can't produce anything anyone actually wants to watch themselves so they just pinch a load of clips to repurpose.

Sooooo, let’s see how my #Fensterkraftwerk (window solar station) is going to work… 100W of Anker Solix PV in a bay window, plugged into a C1000… there’s another panel to install.

I think your instructions were *very* clear.

I sadly don't have a massive ladder or else I'd be going around tonight taking all those damn flags down.

In bloody broad daylight on the Fairacres roundabout… if this really was about patriotism, why is that wankstain on the ladder hiding his face with a balaclava? @nathanley.com, sadly I don’t have the newest phone or else you might’ve had a face to put to both to prosecute.

Anyone who wants Britain to join the war in Iran needs their head examined They don't know what they want to achieve, why they're doing it or what the consequences might be. They are lost in the void.

Capers absolutely! Anchovies… not my bag but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Italians would approve that.

Wouldn’t be a surprise at all

WAR CRIME BY THE US.

An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.

The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.

THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.

This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.

But you’re going to cave and roll over like a dead fish when they offer you something, just like you did on other things.

Welcome!

Once again, another mealy-mouthed half defence of the earned settlement proposals from someone who clearly hasn't read them/doesn't understand them.

As Badenoch's letter (accurately) makes clear, there is only a modest difference in degree between Mahmood's proposals and Tory policy.

Dubai influencers share near-identical videos with footage of Dubai crown prince | LBC Videos featuring the caption ‘I know who protects us’ have been circulating on social media

I had no idea until this all started that the UAE licences and pays many influencers to live there and write positively about the regime.

YouTuber turns G-Wiz EV into vape-powered mini-car : You made a time machine vapemobile ... out of a Delorean G-Wiz?

Oh. My. God. This is sheer genius! Trust an engineer at Jaguar Land-Rover to look at disposable vapes, go "hmmm, I'm sure I can build a battery pack with this", and then... well... go and do it! And now he's swapped the battery out of a G-Wiz and put his pack in it! Powered by vapes, indeed!! #ev

For all the talk of an Asian century, China and other Asian powers never prepared for scenarios where the US would flip from the primary security guarantor in the Middle East they relied on to the primary source of instability that would undermine their energy supply chains

Good. He maybe *has* found his balls then. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Funny that, I believe Bezos said this when he swallowed the WaPo… and then when everyone was chill, he went rogue.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Couldn’t make it up if you tried… all those Emirati playboys with their fancy cars in Kensington now realising they might have to pay tax in the country they fuck around in? Delicious.

Transparency fears over plan to redact 2,000 staff names on Commons register Exclusive: Standards committee proposal aims to improve staff safety but critics say it will further reduce public trust

EXCL: MPs are planning to redact names of 2,000 parliamentary staff from official register that has been in place for decades, reducing transparency around lobbying by passholders - @rowenamason.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Not hard to find examples of each in various conflicts - ie Kosovo being short, Syria lasting a decade plus

More broadly the Convention is focussed on refugee status specifically, not its broader relationship with immigration law, which is touched upon but largely left to state parties to work out
