This case makes me feel physically sick to my stomach. The ultimate betrayal of a husband towards his wife. Joanne Young, by waiving her anonymity has made it possible for the world to see these deviants for what they are. She was advertised online for Christ's sake. She is amazing.

Sorry but this is a big fat no from me. I don't care how well known or how famous you are, if you are accused of inappropriate sexual activities with girls and young women you should get the same treatment as those who don't have your millions. Horrific.

Democrats are preparing to investigate Trump's agreement to import Russian diesel if they regain control of Congress, Axios reports. Lawmakers urged US banks and several ports to preserve Russian diesel deal records, warning the imports could violate a 2022 ban and fund Russia’s war in Ukraine.

A great detail in this New York Times story: the Russian diesel under the Trump-Putin deal was shipped without any US buyers having paid for it. Three vessels are now at sea.

Israel votes today with polls showing it neck-and-neck between Netanyahu’s Far Right bloc and the mainly Hard Right opposition bloc. All but one of the leading Jewish parties have ruled out working with the Arab blocs.

bbc.co.ukIsrael heads to polls for pivotal election defined by security and democracyMany fear neither of the leading political blocs will win enough seats for a majority - meaning weeks or months of political wrangling may lie ahead.

Reform, the party for the British people, putting British people first. I'm almost certain that Reform doners based overseas don't want anything in return for their millions, I mean, why would they? It's not as if there's any money to be made from divisive politics, Nigel Farage knows that.

Why is YouTube pushing videos on me with Douglas Murray talking rot about civil ‘conflict’ in Britain? So bizarre for decades there was effectively a civil war in N Ireland that Britain never named as such Now there is no civil war, but endless mouthpieces talking it up evidence free

How strange Reform UK whose leaders supported Brexit and British people 'taking back control' is happy to get most of its funding from millionaires living abroad (ps who never give something for nothing, 'donations' are the British way of corruption buying policies like tax cuts for millionaires)

Fuming at the demolition of the BBC. Yes, as part of the destruction, we’ve seen the end of impartiality, journalism ruined by the likes of Kuenssberg and Mason, both incompetent and hideous. Yet, the Arts, culture, history, drama, comedy, education will be an incalculable loss. Wake up people.

The Robbie Gibb + John McAndrew cabal in News is there to destroy the BBC from within. The BBC & NHS are last two publicly owned institutions - the right wing wreckers in Reform Ltd and the Tories before them wish to profit from them both.

The cuts being made at the BBC are unforgivable. They are putting it into a death spiral. The weaker it gets, the less people will want to support it. And yes, this is an issue for the Government, which likes to pretend it's not their problem. It is.
