Fascinating thread.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

In fairness I can see why she mightn’t want her children reading too much about what their parents, aunties, uncles, grandparents, and on and on and on, get up to, that would be damaging alright.

Fuck off Kate. You have a nanny for grown children, cleaners, don't have a job, assistant, personal hairdressers, and are loaded.

You know what does damage family life more? Poverty. Put your literal money where your mouth is then I may take you seriously.

Kate warns too much screen time damages family life.

Owing to the wars of the previous 150 years, European countries bound together in a *union* so they would never fight again.

We do this, among other ways, by have common tariffs and standards at the border, but none within; by having a common visa waiver, but FOM within; and a single currency

"He invokes white faces. He is the one who chooses this as his metric."

Robert Jenrick defended his comment about not seeing "another white face" in a Birmingham area, saying he was only criticising the lack of integration, not focusing on skin colour

Robert Jenrick has defended comments made in March 2025 about the lack of white people in an area of Birmingham he visited – and Tory colleagues have rallied to back him. But do his comments make…

Is very interesting how no journalists seem to want to investigate how 'multiple sources' could have knowledge of the results of a Garda vetting undertaken in 2018, and be in a position to pass it on to an ex-garda.

Many people would like answers.

Particularly about the confidentiality of garda vetting.

@tonightvmtv.bsky.social I would also like to know how 'multiple sources' in Leinster House were privy to the results of Garda vetting.

And I repeat.
