Please watch & share this footage of 2 lovely guys (faces clearly captured on CCTV) who just stole my bag from under my chair, bending it like Beckham in what is evidently their signature robbing move. Maybe it will be shared widely enough they don’t get to do it to anyone else. Stay safe out there.

I remember Australian newsreaders actually laughing when they explained the terms of Liz Truss' dreadful deal, that completely shafted UK farmers.

The fuss they are making over some postponed local elections makes me fear they are laying the groundwork for doing something similar at some point with a GE if they ever get in
The Democrats didn’t do anything much to reign in MAGA when they had the opportunity, we can’t make that mistake too

A sobering look from the FT at the UK: The “higher-for-longer” chart.
Not a leaderboard to top when growth and investment dynamics are already under pressure.
Moreover, the longer the economy faces such high borrowing costs, the greater the risk that they will stay elevated or climb even higher.

This will piss the right wingers off, but I’d say this chap is far more a patriot that the wankers painting roundabouts and hanging flags.

This was visible for months. We also knew this from the last time he imposed tariffs. Did she oppose it then? No. That she screams foul now doesn't mean zip. She's only opposing him, because now it's her turn to be at the receiving end of the MAGA craziness.

He let loose almost 200 unhinged posts on Christmas Day.
You’d think someone would have wrestled his phone away after 20, 40 or even a hundred posts.
They know he’s too far gone.
They also know he won’t escape the Epstein fallout.
They’re letting him make his case for the 25th amendment.

They call everyone else snowflakes, but they're one long blizzard of self-loathing and everything triggers them. Strange and inadequate people.
Harrison Pitt accuses the King of treachery. Pitt is a Senior Policy Fellow for Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain, who also regularly co-hosts podcasts with his ally Tomlinson (who advocates banning all ethnic and faith minorities from public office). Like Lowe, Pitt is keen to dissolve boundaries/norms

"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."
