“if I was Trump’s blood I’d rather stay in his feet than go to his brain” 😂😂😂😂😂
If I was a concerned parent and I loved my kids we’d be spending the last weekend of the school holidays enjoying ourselves. Certainly wouldn’t be out waving a little flag and rioting.
I understand but I doubt that those SUVs are American vehicles which was my point
Excellent decision. EU and UK need to follow suit. Australian ban on fish-shaped plastic soy sauce dispensers a world first | South Australia | The Guardian
That said, Europeans are not going to be buying those shitty American gas guzzlers.
“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.” Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris
Arrogant fckrs
This sounds like making the owners of dangerous dogs register their dog at the post office. Pretty inadequate response.
Russia has lost its mind a long time ago.Today,#Ukraine is the only country actively&directly fighting against Putin.Ukraine is successfully resisting&shielding Europe Ukraine is fighting a monster.Russia planned to defeat Ukraine in 3days, yet more than three years have passed
What part of these civilian murders does Trump not understand ?
Why is Hungary still in the EU when it acts against its interests ?
Russian terrorism
And still Trump waits…

Putin has been whispering in his ear again
Wrote this about flags and patriotism in 2021 (in The Decade In Tory). Stand by every word now.
Wtf is he saying ?
It’s just “ weather “ …….
He has no idea what he’s talking about. The territory Russia wants is about the size of 6 US states including Texas.
Tomorrow afternoon I find out if my wife’s kidney cancer has spread. Terrified is an understatement.
I’m sorry to say but the claim that the US under Trump is going to provide Ukraine with militarily enforced security guarantees, is simply the newest version of the Trump will hit Russia hard with sanctions delusion. Neither will ever happen, but if it makes you feel better….
If evidence were needed to show how twisted and perverse our social media laden world is, this is a perfect example. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
Deranged or what ?
Delizioso!
I’m amazed at how clean your kitchen is. After baking any bread my kitchen is a bomb site ! Well done on the sourdough though. Once you’ve done a few it’s not at all scary.
Whilst Russia continues to bomb and kill Ukrainian civilians and soldiers, Trump shows off his feckin hat collection.
If you’ve ever heard her speak then you’ll know that she didn’t write this pointless letter
"President Trump's efforts have brought us closer than ever before to ending Russia's illegal war in Ukraine," said Sir Keir Starmer Cow towing to the Orange nutter is unseemly and factually this statement is nonsense
“Putin would eat you for lunch.” Today, exactly that happened.
Trumps sole « achievement » yesterday was that now the entire world knows that he is Putin’s bitch.
Putin Pursuing Peace ? Oh the irony ….
Can’t think of any better reason than this, to abolish the House of Lords www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
UK coup made us corporate slaves. Post Office scandal, no one charged for false convictions. Grenfell fire, 72 died, no one charged Water companies, 1,137 criminal convictions, still operating. Energy companies, £514bn operating profit. No curbs. Corporate lawlessness is the new norm
Is Trump going to sell Ukraine down the river on Friday ?
On the left, violent protests - just one arrest On the right peaceful protests - 474 arrests Just saying…..
🧵1/6 Why Putin Won’t Meet Zelensky Putin fears a direct confrontation with Zelensky, not because of personal danger, but because a face-to-face would expose the false narrative he’s spent years building, that Ukraine is just a pawn, and Zelensky is irrelevant. A meeting would legitimise both.
Is UEFA more corrupt than anyone originally thought ?

The bullet train in 🇯🇵-as glorious as everyone says. A reminder the Japanese built their first high speed train for the 1964 Olympics and it became national by the 80s. They’re now building Maglevs (floating trains). Meanwhile in 🇬🇧 we can’t be sure we’ll connect HS2 to Euston. Pathetic.

Overheard: I'm surprised the nickname “Pedofuhrer" hasn't caught on yet.
Absolutely nuts.
11 years ago, Russia killed 298 people on board the MH17 flight that was passing through the east of Ukraine. Recently, the European Court of Human Rights has concluded Russia is responsible for shooting the plane down.
Yorkshire Water’s hosepipe ban is a symptom of a broken system Last week, Yorkshire Water announced a hosepipe ban that will affect over five million people across Yorkshire, with a threat of £1,000 fines. – it’s time to take back control of our water. By Jon Trickett MP
How do you ensure a nation fails to cope with drought? Privatise its water system. Almost everyone wants our water renationalised. Almost everyone, that is, except the government. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Well to be honest, they most likely are.
Could you get any more deranged than this ??
Just sent out my free weekend update. As part of reality weekend i compare what Biden did for Ukraine and what Trump has actually done. Look, I was more critical of Biden than most, but compared to Trump, he was a Ukrainian lion. Trump has made Russia stronger. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

USA takes another step towards becoming a Christian- fascist dictatorship
It is now 18 months since the European boss of Fujitsu, which supplied the crap Horizon system and whose officials lied to sub-postmasters and to courts about it, accepted moral responsibility and said the company would cough up. Yet it still hasn’t handed over a bean. 🧵 1/2

Trump visit: Scotland prepares 🏴
People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.
The simplicity of most UK government agency websites is something that the French need to adopt. Compare the clear DVLA. with the French equivalent ANTS, which is an absolute nightmare.
England’s reservoirs at lowest level for a decade, experts call for hosepipe bans. No new reservoirs built since 1989. Over a trillion litres of water a year lost to leaks. Water companies paid out £85bn in dividends. No regulator/Govt had a national plan. Crisis created by privatisation.
Cut the bottom off a Perrier bottle and insert the top end deep into the soil then use that to water the plant. Watering is minimal, direct to roots and avoids evaporation.
I pick these cabbage white caterpillars off into a jar and transfer them to a patch of nasturtiums on the other side of my garden. Saves the brassicas and the butterflies.
Finally !
Time to get your “Trump is A C@nt” placards out then.

Allez M. Macron. Faites comme Tony Blair et rendez l'entrée des musées gratuites !! #Macron
Ce qui m'énerve, c'est que tous les musées sont gratuits au Royaume-Uni, mais qu'en France, il faut payer. Les visiteurs britanniques pourront voir gratuitement la tapisserie de Bayeux, les Français devront payer pour voir les trésors de Sutton Hoo.
Great news
