England is a state of mind.

An idea.

If you're painting the flag of Genoa on roundabouts, you don't get it.

And, sadly, you probably never will.

Indiana Republican voter: I’m a life long Republican though I never voted for Trump. He’s not a Republican, he’s an evil man. Look what he’s done to Brazil, saying that if they don’t let Bolsonaro go, he’ll put more tariffs on them. He’s not a world leader but a dictator that needs to be stopped.

On the BBC News @ Six, Clive Myrie enthusiastically says that Gazans are returning home.

They're not returning home Clive because their homes have been destroyed. They're returning to find the rubble where their homes used to be. Significantly different Clive. They're homeless now. 😔

With the world being… gestures wildly at everything… one of the most important things we can still do is laugh - sometimes hysterically, sometimes just to stay sane.

So, with that in mind, I present to you:

People Who Make Me Laugh.

Let me know in the comments who rlse should be added.

Huge congratulations to Maria Corina Machado who has won the Nobel Imperialism Prize for steadfastly supporting Israel's genocide and calling on the US to invade her own country so she can be installed as puppet leader while Trump takes Venezuela's oil ♥️

I am shocked that the President of the United States who has multiple felony convictions and is currently busy doing everything to undermine the judiciary and media in his own country while also threatening to invade Canada, Greenland and Panama did not win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Strong speech from Badenoch. Well delivered. Sharp critique of government. Focussed on politically fertile territory on the economy. Eye catching policy which will get a lot of v positive press attention.
