Probably too old to care but I do. Interested in life, the universe and everything. Not the son of a toolmaker.

The Epstein files should have been released from day 1, as promised. Instead, some powerful elites are making fortunes while this corrupt system protects them.

This is how the UK Chancellor can increase the income tax personal allowance by £3,000. Must end/curtail subsidies to banks. Align tax rates on capital gains & dividends with those on wages. Inconvenience to a few, but millions will be lifted out of hardship.

It's the only way he can ever get close to a woman. Because they can smell the stink from him a mile off!

A former Miss Switzerland beauty pageant contestant has accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her at New York's Plaza Hotel in 1993, according to her account to Congress. Trump has denied the allegations.

BBC altered its schedule to give us 41 minutes of uninterrupted coverage before apologising for then showing the weather forecast. Looking forward to similar coverage when the SNP, Sinn Fein and Greens have something to say. Obviously Lib Dems should have 9 times as much coverage. Or is BBC biased?

If you recognise these symptoms in your offspring then praise them, give them a bar of chocolate and tell them to go outside and play with their friends.

On the bright side to give us all a little bit of hope Rodrigo Duterte, the Philippines’ former president - is heading to The Hague next month to stand trial for crimes against humanity. It can be done there can be justice!

The news from Brazil and Serbia are great and show that you don't defeat the far right by copying it or trying to appeal to their supporters You do it by being uncompromising, showing the danger they pose and offering something different to the many crises people suffer from

Trump is a #Badloser

GUARDIAN: “Lula’s win is bad news for Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving a 27-year sentence for that botched power grab… also a blow for Donald Trump, the Bolsonaro clan’s most important international ally.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

So Israel's sham 'democracy' is coming apart at the seams. Next stop North Korea.

President Obama: There seems to be "no line" Vivek Ramaswamy will not cross. "There's a decency that we should expect out of our public officials. And I don't know what's happened where the standards of behavior have gotten so low that somebody can run an ad like that."

President Obama: "As a former president, I can tell you sometimes factors beyond a president's control end up foiling the best-laid plans." "That is not the case here. In this case, this administration's actions are directly responsible for rising costs."

Let's give thanks that our Prime Minister has finally opened the can of worms that is Brexit. And now we can all smell the stench that is emanating from it.

🤩 This is a significant moment. Burnham says openly that Brexit has weakened 🇬🇧 economy, failed to deliver promised control over immigration and produced a harder Brexit than many people were led to expect in 2016. On rejoin EU: “I would like to see that happen in my lifetime.” And next 👇 🧵

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

The people have truly spoken!

Everybody is talking about Lula, but actually the victory in Serbia of a student-led, anti-government group fronting candidates from across society is almost more interesting for what it says about the potential to genuinely transform politics with the right movement at the right moment.

Governments don't care about the young because they don't vote.
