Why has Prince Andrew never been questioned by the British police? It has been alleged that he had sex with a sex trafficked young girl, in the UK. The victim made it very clear, that this was not consensual, so the age of consent in the UK is not a relevant issue.

At 10:39 a.m. Russian forces dropped guided FAB-250 bomb on church in Kostiantynivka where civilians were gathered. Two people were ki//ed, and four others injured. Russia is a terrorist state!

There were hundreds of Jewish people on that march. All embraced warmly by the crowd.
The demonstration of support at one corner by Hasidic Jews was applauded by marchers as they passed.
The only offence, and only arrests, was by the small Zionist counter-protest.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

They can’t without special permission from the government. I hope labour refuse everyone of reforms requests
Councils given special powers last year were all facing bankruptcy from 14 years of frozen funding
It’s about time reform learnt that delivering local services is hard as fuck

I was on the pro-Palestine march yesterday through London. There were many Jewish groups holding their banners identifying themselves as such marching with us, including Holocaust Survivor + descendants. When will they get called out by mainstream media on this drivel they speak?

Perhaps the best solution to soothe wounded egos would be to create a Truth and Social Peace Prize, funded by the tariffs #TrumpyPumpy imposes on goods entering the US and award it to Donald P Trump in perpetuity?

⚡️UK, France, and Germany agreed to move forward with using frozen Russian assets to help fund Ukraine’s defense.

The announcement comes after European leaders met in Copenhagen last week to discuss using frozen Russian assets for a $160B loan to Ukraine.

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

Trump administration in 2025: We are building a Qatari Air Force facility in the United States.

If they had a Left wing person on Question Time every single week like they have a Reform person, the polls in the UK would be completely different.

But of course they only put a Left wing person on once every blue moon to prevent this.

New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption.

First of all, 5mm isn't microscopic and you CAN see them.

Second of all, the fact that our Chancellor thinks she can't see these seems to mean she thinks they're not worthy of our consideration.

A hallmark of this government's terminal lack of imagination.

A paean to privatised public transport.

Today I had to go from Stockport to Salisbury. So I bought a ticket

Stockport > Bristol > Salisbury

The drive to Stockport should have taken 35 minutes. Satnav said it would take 2 hours, and I'd miss my train.

So I went to Macclesfield, where I found...
