This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

And in Minnesota, if Flanagan bests Tafoya, her victory is inherently suspect b/c Trump has declared that Tafoya can’t lose, period, unless Dems cheat. This is the long, stupid shadow of the 2020 election."

UK spending on ‘fairytale’ carbon capture tech is a national embarrassment, chancellor told

MJ: So DOJ is now essentially creating a new way of charging people....? This is very concerning....throwing gasoline on what defendants are saying about this being unusual. Why would you not just want a MJ to make a PC finding as you would in every other case?

Andy Burnham is treating citizens like the adults they are by opening an honest discussion on the future of the UK-EU relationship, former Labour leader Neil Kinnock has said 👏

ONCE MORE, THIS IS NOT HAPPENING. At no point does Reynolds say it is. What is more, a 'government spokesperson stressed there were no current discussions on freedom of movement'. So how does the BBC arrive at this headline?!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Breaking News: The Supreme Court allowed a deal between the Trump administration and Texas, affecting the rules for deportation proceedings that opponents have described as “egregious collusion.”

WATCH: “The solution is YOU END THE WAR— J.D. Vance and every Trump official talks about the war is if it happened through forces of nature, and they didn’t consciously make the decision to go to war and raise our gas prices on purpose.” ⛽️ (H/T @headintheoffice.bsky.social )

Nigel Farage has given Reform UK candidates permission to publicly support the serial criminally convicted fraudster, thug, stalker and far-right activist who founded the English Defence League. This is who they are. Never forget it.

Perhaps the UAE's candidate for UN Secretary-General Lana Nusseibeh "could begin by explaining why her own government has been repeatedly implicated in helping fuel the genocidal catastrophe in Sudan." My latest piece for Zeteo on a potentially awful decision coming from the UN Security Council:

“On track for highest election day prices on record” ⛽️
