the creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to stop doing culture wars about which one should go on the banknotes
Full Fact: Image showing US B-2 supposedly ‘shot down’ by Iran is fake

Also the last time I used cash in London in the presence of an Englishman he simply laughed at me.
So isn’t this all a bit .. obsolete?
I’ve just watched a video made by someone who appears to be an adult and who wishes to be PM suggesting that a badger is an unfit successor to Winston Churchill and I now formally give up.
Many have asked what 'Woke' really means, suggesting it's meaningless or just means 'things I don't like'. Now, we have a definition and, yes, it turns out it's meaningless or just means 'things I don't like'
Daily Mail Headline: Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam
Oh boy! What a headline...
Ask yourself:
"What am I being asked to believe?"
"Who am I being told to blame?"
Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on.
Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵

The Ever Vacuous Kemi Badenoch claims Starmer is a liar..
Which I guess is praise being as Trade Secretary she famously lied in HOP but she had a trade deal with Canada, which they furiously denied❌
She lied that she was offered a place at Stanford University in US at 16❌
Just 2 of many examples❗️
The obvious solution is to copy the beautiful Royal Bank of Scotland "The People's Money" notes which have historical figures AND animals AND poetry AND plants and traditional fabric designs AND other good stuff and which are designed to look even better under UV light.
Amusing & insightful as ever. Starmer was good at PMQs & not just in the narrow sense of besting KB but because, tho' goodness knows he's made plenty of errors, on the war he has judged it well & in process shown the gross incompetence & irresponsibility of KB & NF on this & in a more general sense
New paper out! Great tits face distinct challenges from extreme weather during development, based on 60 years data from >83k nestlings in Wytham Woods 🐣 Cold snaps & heavy rain can stunt growth, but earlier breeding may help buffer this! By @devisatarkar.bsky.social et al.

As usual Farage and Badenoch will rely on us being goldfish and forgetting they were pushing for the UK to attack Iran so in case anyone forgot #2LyingShits👇🏼
Feel free to share
Where was Farage’s closest aide and Reform UK Welsh leader Nathan Gill heading when he was arrested for taking bribes from Putin’s pal Medvedchuk?
To a Kremlin sponsored conference in Moscow, to talk about the role of crypto currencies in politics
The warnings are there for us all to see
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
The Trump Panto.
Trump : “RESPECT: oh yes they do”
Europe “OH NO WE DON’T”.
“The UK's official climate adviser said the cost of meeting net zero is less than A SINGLE (my CAPS) fossil fuel price shock. £4 billion of additional spending per year to 2050 is required to stay on track for net zero, according to the Climate Change Committee.
This is appalling. And not just because it's in the Cairngorms National Park.

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.
Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

Left: Rachel Reeves says post Brexit trade deals - which add 0.47% to GDP - are helping economic growth
Right: Keeping the UK outside the EU costs us 6-8% GDP
Only Keir Starmer's and Rachel Reeves's Labour could think that 0.47% is better than 6-8%
I must admit I do like the new Reform UK manifesto:
‘WRONG
WRONG
WRONG
WRONG
WRONG
NO
NO
NO
NO
NO
NO!’
It’s catchy isn’t it?
Bit like one of those wrap songs. 🎤🎵
DJ U-Turn is in da house & layin down sum fat off grooves!
(As Dean our Paperboy would say…)
🙈
Telling how confident Starmer now feels in owning his Iran decision. His best outing against Badenoch at PMQs in months. KB not alone in shifting her position. Many of those in the press and politics demanding war and condemning Starmer loudest have been far quieter since the inevitable chaos began.
On the absurdity of setting UK interests by a Trump doctrine when not even the US national interest is served by the president www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Keir Starmer: 'In this job, you don't get a second shot at making the right call on taking your country to war.
'If she (Kemi Badenoch) were Prime Minister, we would be in the war, and she would be coming back to Parliament a week later to say, "oh, sorry, I got that one wrong".'
BREAKING: “After 9 days of saying join the war join the war join the war yesterday she’s says I never said we should join the war”
Prime minister Keir Starmer accuses Kemi Badenoch of “the mother of all u-turns”
#PMQs
Oh come on Donald don’t do me like this.
I’ve gotta be the WORST lol
"It took six months, costs of over £100k, and a 117 page judgment, for me to have the claim dismissed."
Chilling. But congrats to Dan Neidle and TPA for defeating this libel claim.

⚖️💥 WIN 💥⚖️
We have successfully defended award-winning journalist @danneidle.bsky.social from an ‘oppressive’ claim which tried to silence him – but the law still needs reform
https://goodlaw.social/5w7w
When I said 'Kemi Badenoch is so partisan, under her the Tories would oppose puppies and kittens if Labour said something nice about them', I didn't mean it literally.
We've won the UK's first ever SLAPP suit - acting for @danneidle.bsky.social - and made some really important law protecting the right to call out barristers whose misconduct facilitates aggressive tax avoidance.
All you need to know about the so called Asylum Seeker invasion.
It doesn't exist.
