At some point western nations will treat these attempted assassinations as acts of war.
Xenophobia and petty prejudices ignores our strengths and shared culture thus contributing to the world’s ills. Also big up to science, rationalism and humanism. Duck Brexit and the forces behind it

Still think the poor creature starved to death
Grifters going to…..
But they were authorised? abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...
RFK Jr, "We need to stop trusting the experts, right.. Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy" Good luck America 🤷♂️
Alas a very ‘on point’ observation
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
What has become apparent is that Ukraine is both exceptionally clever and whily. And this appointment only reinforces that
The markets won’t like this
If you don't love Nigel Farage give this a Like. If you hate him, give it a RT.
You know what you need to do
Who was this person? What were they like? What life had they led? All that was left of them was a shadow on a wall. We now have bombs thousands of times as big as the one dropped on #Hiroshima 80 years ago today. Tens of thousands of them. Nuclear war should be unthinkable
If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research… I have nothing left to say to you. Please unfollow me. #pediatriccancer #cancermom
This sounds like a science fiction movie

Oh the glorious irony
7. So capital gets everything it wants and the rest of us, almost nothing. Labour’s foundational purpose is inverted. It has become the Capital Party. It's lost to us, and under Keir Starmer, it is not coming back. Today's column explores the latest lobby horror: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
This is a terrible choice by Labour to cut essential funding to the developing world. We're following the USA down the path of "Out of sight? Let 'em die." archive.ph/2025.07.20-1...
How’s the tourism industry going?
Hmmm, it would be interesting to see if he’s actually met jd Vance privately recently.
I vaguely recall seeing a report about Murdoch meeting JD Vance privately a month ago. Of course correlation doesn’t imply causation but it’s occurrence and this is interesting nethertheless.
🚨NEW: WSJ reveals letter sent by Trump to Epstein on his birthday. Trump ends with: “Happy Birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret.” The text is “framed by the outline of a naked woman…and the future president’s signature is a squiggly “Donald” below her waist, mimicking pubic hair”
🚨 Russia goes full Nazi as it prepares the population for the invasion of the Baltic states: New billboards in Moscow bluntly describe the people of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania as subhumans and Untermenschen (German - racially inferior). ARM UKRAINE TO DEFEAT RUSSIA!
Give him a week, I’m sure he’ll change his mind
Don’t think your alone, you take care
Black dog moment. A really bad one. Just sitting here, crying.
Shame on you @telegraphnews.bsky.social for giving infamous UK anti-vaxer Aseem Malhotra a platform on the very day we learn a child has died of measles in Liverpool. You do understand, don’t you, that it’s exactly this kind of scaremongering that leaves parents so anxious & afraid? Shame on you.
So it seems clean green nz also hasn’t banned this

Appears to be less than knowledgeable about his own country folk!
Caligula ?
Wouldn’t that impact all of his convictions. Surely there’s a case there?
Same day
As this administration ramps up the racist and fascist attacks against Mamdani, people in his own party, including the Senator from his state, are all getting in line to also say racist, disgusting stuff about him too. A party complicit in putting his safety and well being at risk.
How could any Brit with a modicum of empathy integrity or intelligence vote for someone who associates themselves with Il Dunce
Eloquently put. However the idea that America carves into stone a convicted criminal would become an embarrassment ( and a testament to the decay of the country) does warm my heart
The “private police force” would scare me.
Global vaccination work has nearly halved the global infant-mortality rate and saved more than 150 million lives. Vaccine skepticism poses a deadly threat to this progress.
This gargantuan charade is akin to the worst excesses of royal France. It and those shallow sycophants is what i absolutely detest. All we need now is someone to start throwing out cake to the Venetian people and it’ll go south really fast
Brits say hold my beer
Oh America what have you become?
It’s up there i concede, but to vote trump in twice well i think we have a winner
"Only two years left of world’s carbon budget to meet 1.5C target, scientists warn Breaching threshold would ramp up catastrophic weather events, further increasing human suffering." No mention of the billions of nonhumans who are already suffering. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
They're bringing back asbestos to go with the measles revival. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...
Agree to disagree on that one methinks. As I’m a mixalot myself and an unknown proportion Scottish and proud of it.
Just questioning the duplicity of protecting Israel from Iran but not Ukraine from Putin
Hence my frustration (not aimed at you) I add
And we will be all the worse for that eventuality
Sorry Fionna you are of course right . But the access to a variety quality news sources is diminishing and I do like to read things by myself to help me form my own opinion. Alas the irony is that the more avenues for news are lost will result in more people falling for alt news sources.
Paywall!!
Interesting, I wonder if he cautioned against it?
Cole Schmidtknecht, 22, had insurance but couldn’t afford to refill his asthma inhaler after the cost jumped from $70 to more than $500. Five days after his pharmacy visit last year, Cole had a severe asthma attack and died. nbcnews.to/4mM9cGV
Interestingly enough the military don’t want to train people who don’t want to be there
That’s all right kier can go and grab some cash off the old money tree
Lots death from open windows ahead methinks
Should be enough to put off anyone voting for them
A what if question? On the possibility of reform getting a majority for parliament they have promised to overrule the recent trade deal with Europe (the argument being it’s against Brexit!). To avoid this debacle should the government go back to the people for a referendum on this or more/less union
Got to say that their getting a bargain for a whole £650

Not near enough
I noted that the nyt comment ignores the contradiction “spreading democracy at the point of a gun.”
Sweet zombie Jesus!!!
Well colour me surprised I never expected that
Let’s hope it’s a start
81% in agreement
I’d add to the vitriol, any language past present and future.
The thing is he gets to keep it, (or his library does) that is where the corruption lies
"In December last year, Resolute 1850 Ltd was incorporated in the UK. With a thinktank soon to be launched and funds from MAGA, American Big Tech and the US religious right already pledged, it seeks to use Reform as a vessel to bring Project 2025-style policies to the UK." 🤬
The irony is that Persia is the country/civilisation that predates the Iran we see today
Nor New Zealand
The whole party (in fact politics itself) is devoid of personality. Which is ok when balanced with ideas and drive. But the Tories are mired in their history and deserve to become a byword of selling the country to the highest bidder
I agree with you that theatres shouldn’t go out of business. My point was that this is only going to exacerbate existing issues
If one thing is apparent from recent Hollywood movies is that the studios are risk adverse and are rehashing old material. I don’t know what impact this will have but without international perspectives theatres are going to see more empty seats
He looks like an tapeworm that’s just found a hidden piece of undigested orange cheese in the chorito ones lowers intestine
Given the overwhelming evidence of dangers SUVs pose to vulnerable road users, especially kids, there is a compelling case to introduce restrictions on where they can be driven, plus much higher taxes & lower speed limits for SUVs. www.thejournal.ie/children-are...
Actual sacrificing public safety for political donations. Anyone want American chicken for dinner?
Rhinos' horns are removed as a protective measure against poachers to discourage illegal hunting. Human is the most dangerous animal on the planet. Either way, hunt or protect removing the horn… we hurt them. I’m so sorry…
Vote for Farage if you want mo nhs!
The very definition of •corruption•.
Ironically he’s true, he wouldn’t be there without the excesses of capitalism (the greed the complicit administration and legal system )
www.theguardian.com/science/2025.... I recommend it’s named it Octarine, after the late and great terry pratchett
Gone in 60 seconds?
No Mr Trump. Russia started the war.
now *this* is the anecdote of the day
Chilling warning from Fiona Hill - let's not forget, Putin's biographer before she went to work for Trump in his first term. She knows the signs of growing authoritarianism, and she sees them in the US now.
Do here too
Sigh he’s oblivious to what the country both wants and needs. I do question how no 10 works and how it becomes so remote from the country it governs
He’s not listening, not to public opinion anyway
Life in Saudi Arabia: March 2025 Three years after NUFC’s Saudi takeover, March 2025 reveals chilling new evidence of the regime’s human rights abuses @northeastbylines.co.uk

Love to know who this educated individual is?
Anyone wonder where Keir starmer on this app? And next question why isn’t he here?
British Steel's Chinese owners accused of taking dividends 'by the back door'. Jingye cutting 2,700 jobs. It made £231.2m pre-tax loss but paid £76.5m interest to its parent 'group and related parties'. How real was debt? Financial engineering conceals cash extraction. Water companies do it.
Never forget that Stalin purged his military generals and intelligencia prior to the start of ww2. Also noted that they invaded Poland at the same time, the parallels with the carving up of Ukraine and ideology are interesting
Why do I feel (or fear) that the best way for Il Dunce to make the bad news be overshadowed is to start a war. Who with..it’s really anyone’s guess.
he did this just *after* going to the funeral of an 8 year old girl. he walks away from where the hearse is idling and immediately starts hyping this stuff again. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
So completely a) uninformed b) uncaring
