It was making my insides curl that the latest US / Russia "meeting" was billed as "Witkoff holding talks with Putin" when it was obviously the other way round
Putin’s demands are insane and show that he has no interest in peace, while Trump is once again wasting everyone’s time.

Trump is not only a traitor but also remarkably bad at being one

"bad character" evidence will be banned from being used against rape victims while easier to introduce against defendants, so prosecutors could, for eg, introduce domestic violence offences of any type. This is very welcome reform.

So take this in. Straight from the NATO meeting after Russia’s attack Britain’s primary military town, Salisbury, Boris Johnson flew unofficially to party in Umbria with a former KGB officer working for the Kremlin.

Can anyone tell me how this has been forgotten?

Yr 13 student applying to university to study Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic. Anyone out there with sufficient expertise in this field who might be willing to do a mock interview to help them prepare in exchange for the handsome reward of my eternal gratitude?

When I hear Corbyn talk about the culture of community and collaboration, I'm wondering why he couldn't get himself into an anti-brexit gear.

Brexit is his legacy.

English councils plan to sell off social clubs and sports centres to balance books.

Social spaces lost forever. Libraries, community centres, school playgrounds, parks closed/sold as council funding cut in real terms to appease the rich.

Social vandalism.

Words like "idea" or "plan" or "strategy" are not suitable to describe trump's unthinking uncomprehending bullshit. Just refer to it as bullshit and be done with it
Trump doesn't understand health insurance and he doesn't really understand real estate financing.

Back in 1997 there were just 11 booming male Bitterns left in the UK – almost extinct. Thanks to conservation by @rspb.bsky.social and @naturalengland.bsky.social 283 booming males were recorded in 2024.
