When Trump says the U.S. is “making money like we’ve never made before” off high gas prices, he means HE is making a ton of money off high gas prices. This war is leaving you with less money. It’s leaving Trump with more.

For a start this should be quite enough to prosecute him on, after his cohorts abandon him after the midterms. For sure they are going to try and save their souls. They should not be allowed to get away with it though. Trump and his family are all likely felons and are on the list.

Just like to say again that the fact we're still doing this crazy putting the clocks back thing is incredibly annoying and pointless. Make British Summer Time just British Time and let us all move on with our lives.

The DAWN investigation just exposed AIPAC's "network of networks" for what it is: over 3,000 staff embedded across Congress, the Pentagon, and the White House. This isn't lobbying. This is Israel operating our foreign policy from the inside. We're not a partner, we're occupied!

For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.

"That little lad over there, what's his name?" "Storm." "Spawn? That's an odd name for a lad." "I said 'Storm', grannie." "Sperm?" "STORM. STORM! STORM!!!" "No need to shout, love. We'll be OK, I brought me brolly." #TheArchers

"Oy, you, boy! What's all this noise? What's yer name?" "Storm." "I said, what's yer name." "I told yer. Storm." "Storm, is it? Well, get back in yer bleeding teacup." #TheArchers

Niki Minaj certainly makes an interesting choice of spokesperson for rapepublicans.... *Can she vote? No. She’s not a U.S. citizen. *Can her husband vote? No. He’s a registered sex offender. *Can her brother vote? No. He’s serving 25 years to life for child sexual assault.

Healey to ensure state pension (SP) is not taxed for poorest pensioners, SP set to exceed personal allowance (PA). A person relying solely on SP will pay no income tax. Another with lower SP & other source for the same total income could pay tax. Unfair. Cliffe-edge issues. Increase PA for all.

Gee, if only there was a government in place that could identify national security threats like Elon Musk and seize their assets for the good of the nation.

I seem to remember having a Healey as Chancellor once before. I wonder if we count his dealings with the IMF as a good omen. And is this a pic of the new Healey, or a cross pensioner? 🤔

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

The difference is staggering. Obama's speech feels like he's ready to take on another term (and oh how I wish it were possible) Trump's speech feels like nobody could be bothered enough to protect grampa, old & demented, from going on stage. This still the leader you want for your country, MAGA?
