Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.

That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

The dealer needs to keep you addicted.

The US president says he is "more determined than ever to achieve ultimate victory", hours after telling CBS News the war is "very complete, pretty much".

Soon as this genius thinks he's "won enough", world can go back to trying to recover from this crisis AND the last one, caused by his previous brilliant idea: tariffs.

Meanwhile, he's at his golf club taking selfies and Congress - only body with the power to stop this - continues to enable him.

Crypto investor based in Thailand donates further £3m to Reform Christopher Harborne’s gift is latest to party’s election war chest and comes amid calls for cap on political donations

Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his £millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections.

A little reported fact is that the Iranian frigate destroyed 2000 miles from the combat zone was carrying ZERO AMMUNITION (a condition of the exercise it was invited to participate in).

The ship was, by any definition, defenceless.

Much like the 80+ sailors left to drown.

Infamy.

Reform UK doesn’t represent you, it represents Nigel Farage.

US strikes on Iran ‘outside international law,’ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

Have we woken up in America? The deeply unpatriotic Daily Mail and Sun seem to now be supporting a menace of a foreign leader over our own govt and national security. They are really only loyal to their own vested interests. Which are a direct threat to our own. The routine betrayal is sickening.

Massive Ponzi scheme. So much of my Instagram Reels is different people recycling exactly the same content. The algorithm is broken. Or working, just not in users favour.

No, Shabana Mahmood, people seeing failing state support and crumbing infrastructure don't have either legitimate concerns or a legitimate grievance against immigrants, refugees or asylum seekers.

They have a legitimate grievance against governments.

I am begging people to understand Gorton and Denton is a very untypical constituency. In most English seats, the Green surge and the Reform advance we saw last night would deliver a Reform MP. As things stand, Farage should be the massive favourite to be next PM.

Does Farage realise he can't have a "shadow" cabinet as he is not the opposition. Hhalf of his MPs were not even elected as Reform MPs! Why are the media buying into this utter bullshit??

Nigel Farage makes Robert Jenrick, who he previously said was a "fraud", and told his followers that "this man is not to be trusted", his Shadow Chancellor

Heard an interview today where a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) "LLMs have had years to train on every aspect of chess, read every book and article about it, review every match, but when they play, they STILL makes illegal moves. That tells you everything."

And.

Yup.

Watching Sir Jim Ratcliffe be so spectacularly bad at the numbers around the UK population does go some way to explaining how Man Utd paid £80m for Benjamin Sesko.

For what it's worth - I believe that if you use AI to brainstorm ideas for your book, plan chapters, help with structure, edit, create dialogue, make story suggestions or ANY part of the creative writing process you are a hack and a fraud. You are not an author.
