Poor Greenland, they were just chilling minding their own business, then this deranged orange guy starts trying to force himself on them.

I feel for the people of Palestine who have been even more harmed because of the last election and I feel for us because most are not taking it seriously enough how deviant this President and his supporters are.

Trump is overreaching, USA is becoming more and more alone. Alienating Europe,South America, China, now Canada taking a stand.

JUST IN: Canada just drew a hard line. Prime Minister Mark Carney made it clear: Article 5 is not optional and Denmark is not standing alone. Canada is backing Denmark and Greenland while the U.S. openly talks annexation. This is a warning. Allies see it, and they’re done pretending this is normal.

Israel is being allowed to take the absolute p*ss with the yellow line blocks being positioned about at will like Tetris squares with potentially deadly consequences for any Gazan who encounters them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Israel moves Yellow Line deeper into Gaza, satellite images show
Israel placed and later moved control markers in three areas, with some placed deeper inside Gaza than maps suggested.

This fight is far from over: we demand immediate bail for all prisoners on remand, the deproscription of Palestine Action and an end to all arms sales to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel.

After 73 days on hunger strike, Palestine prisoners Heba, Kamran and Lewie have ended their protest, having pushed their bodies to the absolute limit alongside their fellow prisoners.

Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.

It has been a week after the killing of Renée Good, still no one has been arrested for her killing.

And the perpetrator has been allowed to flee the country.

London has its lowest murder rate since records began.

While others talk our city down, @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social is getting on with the job of protecting Londoners and driving down violent crime.

The despicable images circulating on X via its chatbot Grok show the way we legislate & regulate isn’t fit for purpose when it comes to the challenges of AI.

I’m calling for a totally new, empowered regulator that embeds people's experience online.

I spoke to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme today.

“It seems unlikely not to have occurred to [Farage] that the reason he is so popular… is that so many people have had enough not just of people like Zahawi, but in this case, people who literally are Zahawi”

Here’s to hoping their piss-taking opportunism does for them both.

(Times sketch)
Extract: Farage's one-man band adds a disgraced banjo Tom Peck Political Sketch the sketch writers keep saying we're a one-man band," " said Nigel Farage, 48 hours after some idiot sketch writer in The Times had called Reform UK a one-man band. The sketch writers clearly needed to be taught a lesson but what happened next was surely overkill, when out on to the stage and back into the political big time strode Nadhim Zahawi. How would we describe Reform UK now? What part of the one-man band is the party's newest defector? Is there even such a thing as a discredited mouth organ? A disgraced banjo? There was no time to think about that. First there was a pre-roll video of Zahawi, a stirring montage biography of the kind you used to see on the X Factor judges' houses episode, immediately before a painter and decorator from Croydon murders a Michael Buble cover next to Simon Cowell's swimming pool. "l've gone from councillor to chancellor of the exchequer," Zahawi said, looking beyond the camera and into the middle distance, where a brighter future may theoretically lie. Zahawi is extremely proud of his time as chancellor of the exchequer, which lasted exactly two months and was mainly spent paying his own tax bills to HMRC. "Westminster watchers", , as Zahawi called us, may recall the very first thing he did as chancellor, which was to get hold of a piece of HM Treasury notepaper and use it to write a letter to Boris Johnson, who had appointed him fully 48 hours before, to tell him to resign. "Britain is drinking in the last chance saloon," said Zahawi, over soft string music, "and it really does need Nigel Farage as prime minister." In the questions at the end, someone had the temerity to bring up a social media post, written by Zahawi in 2015, in which he had said of his new best mate: "I would be frightened to live in a country run by you." Zahawi let out a little smile. "If I thought this man next to me had an issue, in any way, with people from my background, I wouldn't be sitting next to him," he said, and then he reached over and placed a loving hand on Nigel's elbow. Smiles can say a lot. This one specifically seemed to be saying, "Come on, guys, if you actually believe a word I say, we're not going to get very far, are we?" Which was just as well, because no one does. As the press conference wore on, Farage did not seem his usual ebullient self. Smiles were forced. Brows were creased. Farage is as canny as they come. It seems unlikely not to have occurred to him that the reason he is so popular, the one reason that towers above all others, is that so many people have had enough not just of people like Zahawi, but in this case, people who literally are Zahawi. Zahawi seemed to think people would be "shocked" to see him defecting to Reform. People were shocked, but not quite for the reasons he thinks. That Zahawi decided to ask Farage out is no surprise at all. What is more surprising is that Farage said yes. The Tory stampede to Reform is now very much in full swing. At some point, Farage will surely have to say no to someone. He must have a limit. It's a remarkable thing to say, but at the moment Farage can't seem to find the bar.

Nadhim Zahawi would be frightened to live in a country run by Nigel Farage.

Zahawi has deleted it, but it is too late.
