The president of the USA has posted a video of himself, dressed as a king, taking an actual, literal crap on Americans. No interpretation required.

Yep. He's got this one very wrong.

All he had to do was look at what happened with the Ajax game a while back. Made Millwall fans look like a lovely bunch of lads.

I really think the government should listen to the safety advice given..

If they ignore it and there are any issues, it's on them, not the police.

It is working with police and exploring what additional resources are required to allow all fans to attend.

IMF says the UK economy will grow by 1.3% but inflation will be between 2% & 3%.
So working people won't feel the benefit. Billionaires will.

GITEX Global in Dubai next week will be an interesting watch to see how a region heavily investing in AI is actually benefiting (or not).

Labour really are as useless as the last lot.
We may as well just let employers pay all our salaries straight to these companies and HMRC, cut out the middle man.
Who needs to eat anyway?

Paul Malyon @paulmalyon.bsky.social · 12d

At what point do people refuse to pay?
Or do we just "work for free" and have no money left for food or leisure?

I've never been less shocked in my life.

But I'm sure the many who voted for Reform in Kent will be delighted to be paying more. Maybe they could pay it all as it was their choice?

One of Farage's mates has been outed as a Russian shill, so naturally the BBC are saying Keir Starmer is using inflammatory language.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story

Reform UK's former leader in Wales has admitted taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia while being a Member of the European Parliament.
