Files on Andrew’s activities as trade envoy withheld by the government. Once again even disgraced royals are protected by the state. What’s there to hide? It’s more important than ever that transparency reigns with the Royal Family. And it never does.

Politicians are terrified of an electorate they think is far more authoritarian and angry and right wing than it actually is, because they are out of touch because the literal media - the thing that mediates between public and polity - is corrupted

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

No one has ever been able to adequately explain what Putin is meant to have thought NATO expansion would threaten him with, apart from limiting his expansionist ambitions.

"He was worried they'd invade Russia."

No he wasn't.

He just wasn't.

That's not a thing anyone thought might happen.
this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

TBF the way the Lords held up the fox-hunting ban for years on end in no way reflected their obsession with preserving their weird bloodthirsty hobbies and compares favourably with the way they *checks notes* waved though the poll tax.

Typical bullshit.
Hunts ride roughshod over people's gardens in pursuit of a fox. They preen on the thought of breaking the law in their "god-given" right to rip a fox apart that they've likely had penned up ready to release in the path of the hounds.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Dear Mette, I want to praise your Danish Council presidency for the remarkable work done over the last six months.

You delivered on all these files.

Thank you for your leadership and commitment.

We all share one goal: a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.

At this week’s European Council, EU leaders agreed to support Ukraine with €90 billion over 2026–2027 through EU borrowing on the capital markets.

A clear commitment to Ukraine and to the European project.

A few quick thoughts about this morning's decision. Don't believe the spin from various Russians & others: it's a big deal. The EU has now unambiguously demonstrated that it is able and willing to provide the external financial support Ukraine needs, for as long and as much as it takes. (1/N)
