I often wonder why society seems to be going backwards at the minute, I reckon X being the most downloaded ‘news’ app on the app store goes some way to explaining it. A far right cesspit where the views are becoming frighteningly more mainstream.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

I’m sorry but why has the record not be corrected on ADHD.
1. It’s a neurodevelopment condition.
2. It’s not some little quirky condition, it can have a massive impact on people’s day to day life.
3. Not everyone is being diagnosed so they can claim benefits and get a fucking mobility car.

Great article, as someone who has both ADHD and Autism I can feel my bloody boiling over the lack of empathy and understanding for these conditions. ADHD being described by Kemi Badenoch as a mental health condition perfectly sums up the current lack of understanding and general misinformation.
Welcome to Britain’s new benefits lie: disabled people are driving BMWs and Mercedes on the taxpayer’s dime.

This scoreline is all on Pep, absolutely ridiculous decision starting with that lineup. Everyone knows our strength in depth is non existent, and it probably means us now having to get something in Madrid to finish in the top 8 (if it stays like this).

Yep. Keep capitulating to this monster. Don't worry, he'll change for you. You can change him. He's only 80, a convicted felon, and an adjudicated rapist with 67 sex-crime allegations on him.

I wonder what the actual reason is, I’m not buying that for a single second.
Palantir has pulled out of involvement with the UK Digital ID card, according to an interview with their UK CEO on Times Radio. They’re concerned about the reputational damage of being involved with an unpopular Starmer policy.

Keir Starmer wants to force everyone to have a digital ID.
But the Liberal Democrats say that’s not the kind of country we should be. Instead, the government should focus on fixing real problems like the NHS and social care.
