These numbers are huge, if accurate. With the EU/UK backing Ukraine indefinitely, how long before Trump decides to start arming Russia with American weapons? Unthinkable & impossible, right?

A federal appeals court ruled on Friday that most of Trump's tariffs were imposed unlawfully, upholding an earlier decision by the Court of International Trade.

So acc to a very agitated Malcolm Rifkind on Today we are in a national crisis re Immigration and the only solution is to leave the EHCR. - This won’t solve anything. It’s just Brexit 2.0. The absolute hysteria that has engulfed some politicians and the U.K. media is astonishing. To put it mildly.
Quite the cock-up at the BBC. ‘Unforgivable’ might be too strong a word, but it seems they didn’t do the right thing. These guys are paid big bucks to make these tough calls - if this story is correct, Davie should resign. apple.news/Axc6Ks1yKTyC...
They don’t forget the past in Ireland.
Except millions of Brits do want that. Turkeys really do vote for Christmas.
If you can persuade enough of the people, enough of the time, then switching to totalitarianism is just a question of timing. This is the Achilles Heel in Western Democracy.
Any fool blithely saying they’ve now had a bit of a think about the ECHR and we should leave - is part of why we’re now stuck in the mess of Brexit, being told by the far right to hand our human rights over to them to administer. FFS people. Have you learned nothing from the last decade of failure?
No, they haven’t. Once you control the media, you can persuade enough of them to vote the way you want them to. Hitler was the product of democracy. Gorbachev was the product of totalitarianism. Humans can’t be trusted with democracy (in the ‘one man one vote’ sense.) What can be done? 🤔
My grandfather also wants to pass along the message that RFK Jr. is destroying one of the prime achievements of American medicine. This is something he knows well, given the decades of his life he dedicated to medicine, to the scientific pursuits, and to helping research new treatments for diseases.

Did anyone really think a guy who dumped a dead bear cub in Central Park and made it look like a bicycle accident would be a superb guardian of the public health?
unusual waistband construction known as a hollywood waist, which means the waist connects seamlessly into hips without the use of a separate waistband. this construction was popular in the 1940s and 50s for how it created an elegant line, but is rarely seen today

It bothers me that today I had to point out… To former Tory MP @PhilipDaviesUK That the Hillsborough families invoked the ECHR in their fight for justice Because he, like so many, either doesn’t know …or is being disingenuous about the vital protections the ECHR affords us.
Just in case you forgot…

The billionaire press barons must be having a right laugh… Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population) Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK Immigration isn’t draining us Inequality is.
America is powerless under Trump. Can we stop calling it a superpower now? More like a super Mario news.sky.com/story/vladim...

Ed Davey taking a strong moral stance that he won’t banquet with Trump - the man who is able to end the starvation & massacres of Gazans - when he visits in September. Trump receiving honours is honouring a genocide. We cannot let it go by without protest #r4today
It’s gotten to the point that I don’t even like sending my kids to school anymore. We don’t have to live like this.

RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.

It would be a thousand times better for Labour and for Britain if the national debate were about whether to rejoin the EU or not, rather than how hard to punch down at immigrants. Instead, Labour chose to propagate Farage's argument for him by accepting it had SOME validity and trying to nuance it.
Am having difficulty in understanding how anyone cannot see Newsom’s ‘trumpet’ tweets aren’t anything other than comedy stuff. How can there still be people who read them all so literally? Even AI can tell they’re joke tweets, so why can’t humans? #MoreHumanThanHuman

No one in England has a clue what cracker barrel is. We hope it stays that way.
Can Trump hold his breath longer than anyone else? How is he with bungee jumping?
If Obama or Biden had said this, it would be rightfully understood as them arrogating dictatorial authority to themselves, it would be the only thing anyone in the media or opposition would talk about for a year, and it would probably end their presidency. For Trump, it’s literally just Tuesday.
Britain is Unbearable
Spinal Tap UK
UN-backed experts have declared that an “entirely man-made” famine is taking place in Gaza city and its surrounding area in conditions that threaten an exponential increase in deaths. It's undeniable. And unjustifiable. #GazaFamine www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
Oh, no doubt about it.
What a colossal waste of money. £65 million on Brexit paperwork. (Could have been spent on training nurses etc.) When the hell is UK going to reverse this colossal disaster? Never. The BBC wants us to put Farage in as PM instead. What a joke. #DoWhatYouAreTold www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Stella, Avon and Somerset Police kicked the living fuck out of me and my mates on Saturday for standing up to a fascist rally full of people whose votes *your party* is tripping over themselves to win by demonising migrants. Shut the fuck up.
He is meant to be reflective, educated and a bit literary. Never seen any evidence of that. Did he write that amazing autobiography of his or was it ghost-written?
It only looks big because his hands are so small.
My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.
It’s re-use, after so many years of you telling us about it, makes it seem all the more darker. Have we learned nothing? Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Trump's hand is like in a film when someone has been bitten by a zombie and they try to hide it and are too cowardly and self serving to admit it and it gets worse and they go mad and everyone dies.
Release the health records

Without Brexit, Rachel Reeves would have around £40bn more in her budget. We wouldn't be worrying about yet more tax increases. The political establishment's Brexit omertà is crippling this country. The next general election must be used to rid our government of the Brexiters, including Starmer.
Definitely one of the dumber ways we've spent money, but thankfully they're all this stupid and there are like five more coming.
If the FSB did their job, of course.
‘Snowflake MAGA…..’ They would SO hate it if that adjective was always used.
This is more like it. When they go low, you go lower. Going high is not working.
The US President is of the opinion that the US people would like a dictator in charge, and the US media barely bats an eye, have you all gone fucking insane? Obviously the US President is talking out of his diapered arse, but the media has no excuse for pandering to his insanity. Get a grip.

Well done SK! Hope to see you on your next tour ☺️
Excited for later, when Newcastle fans are angrier with #LFC for placing a British transfer record bid for their player then backing off when told he’s not for sale than most of them have ever been with the human rights record of their Saudi Arabian owners.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social please tell BBC News we’re sick of 4 MP Party Reform being rammed down our throats daily with drivel like this👇🏼report The @libdems.org.uk have 72 MPs, Greens 4, SNP 9 but they don’t get a look in 🤷🏼♂️ Soon BBC News will report what Farage has for breakfast 🙄
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, like Donald Trump and the strength to change the things I can, like the channel when he's on TV.

Bank holiday usually slow news day - time for reflection. Looking at this old promise: Has #Brexit delivered "Safer Britain" sold by 2016 Nigel #Farage & UKIP? 🤔 The question posed in today's Western Morning News still unanswered: 'What have we gained from Brexit?' 🤔#EU #EuropeanUnion #UKPolitics
I’d take an mRNA vaccine to boost my immunity against a virus over horse dewormer, bleach, bright light or chloroquine any day of the week.
I'm watching BBC breakfast and they're discussing at length the impact of employer national insurance on the hospitality sector. I can't remember such discussions about the impact of Brexit. The BBC are not a credible news room, they exist to create a narrative, that's it.
Windsor Davies in that one. Blink and you’ll miss him.
