And the govt keeps pushing out policies & messages to prove how uselessly TOUGH they are, which keeps the issue salient, keeps people thinking “this sounds like a big problem for the country”
So, with PLUMMETING immigration, people still think it’s rising.
Insane.

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature

Fear of ghosts has been with us since the beginning, going back to Sumer and Babylon. One way to guarantee you had no ghost to haunt your descendants? Bury them in the desert, far from city, so the soul has no choice but to descent to Irkalla, the Underworld. #PhantomsFriday

85% of people in Greenland do not want to be ruled by the Yanks, and only 6% do, in case you're wondering
That's a poll from a year ago btw, expect that 85% to be even higher after all of this

When did Parliament authorise Britain to launch illegal military strikes on Syria? Has that country not had enough bombs? Are we actively trying to force the new President into the arms of Putin? Was it co-incidence this happened on the day Trump hit Venezuela?

It's a great time to be a broadsheet journalist who can't understand why everyone hates Starmer
Keir Starmer explicitly backs Trump's attack on Venezuela.
Says he has "long supported" getting rid of Maduro, who is an "illegitimate President" and "we shed no tears about the end of his regime".

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

People said giving him a second state visit was a genius move of strategy - really seems to have paid off.
