Trump announced he assassinated a boat full of civilians in the Caribbean that he alleges were drug smugglers (no evidence provided and even so, not a proportionate strike if true). Marco Rubio also used his social media to boast of the war crime.

@samcoatessky.bsky.social hi Sam, this morning you stated โโฆthe main opposition parties, the Cons and Reform UKโฆโ Unless I missed 67 Parliamentary by-elections since July, the Lib Dems are very much the main opposition party with the Cons, not Reform. Do we have to keep doing this?
Only used it briefly in 2015, because the Labour election candidate and agent said it was a good way to keep in touch. Candidate posted rarely, his agent posted about Spalding Football Club.
Yet he hoards his stolen money like Smaug rather than say pay his fair share of taxes to ensure people can say afford kids if they want them. 'We need more kids!' 'Help us pay for them!' 'Fuck off peasant'

Seen on a wall near Fort William station in 1981 or 82: Whoever you vote for, the Government wins. Yvette Cooper was good in Opposition, but was often pretty vacuous in her previous incarnation as a minister during the previous Labour Government.

Peak rail fares scrapped on ScotRail trains. Scotland also has: Public ownership of water, lower water bills than England's. No university tuition fees for local students. No prescription charges, abolished in 2011. No two child benefit cap from March 2026. England must follow.

"That is why I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it." Yes, there is a difference.
Overt racism on our streets, flags as threats, Reform strutting around like theyโre in power already, toxic radicalisation by Musk on X, politicians howling to leave the ECHR and to hell with the consequencesโฆ How can the govt just meekly nod along?

We saw Reagan's motorcade in London in the 1980s. The ambulance was similarly at the of the convoy.
This #LaborDay, letโs remember that immigrants make up 20% of the workforce. If 20% of the workforce were deported, the country's GDP would decrease by 12% (-3 trillion). Hurting immigrants doesn't only hurt them. It hurts America. Is weakening America worth owning the libs?

REALITY CHECK: Under the U.S. Constitution, states are responsible for regulating elections, while Congress has the power to enact national election laws. The President does not have unilateral authority to impose new voting rules like nationwide voter ID requirements.
Ashley Biden just posted this picture from this weekend with her father. Both look very happy.

A few days ago we had some vegetarian/vegan "bakes" that were quite similar in texture to the rissoles my mother made. That's where the similarity ended, though.

The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kidsโ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.
While you are looking at Trump, the oligarchs are seeding themselves deeper into the fabric of society, your government, and your resources. Your media is captured, your institutions are captured, your politicians are captured, and your algorithms are captured. A full system reboot is needed. #3E
Afternoon MV. My mother used to do that with the remains of the lamb joint on Mondays in the 1950s. Lamb rissoles made with Lyons sliced white bread. Whereas, the butchers of Brighton's Sydney Street diluted their mince with fat. Then stood at the door, shouting the price.
Afternoon Keri. Anyone would think that the BBC was in the business of selling newspapers. Oops, typo! I meant selling Reform.

My cousin was in a nursing home โ they kept Covid out until January 2021. Between then and March, 21 out of 50-60ish residents died (CQC figure). Ten the first weekend.
Not had any reactions to however many Covid jabs I've had (Doubtless MrsP has a list). Though the second one caused a frozen shoulder, which lasted c. 2 years. Probably the needle was blunted in vax phial stopper, according to one nurse I mentioned it to.

Palantir just took over the CDC. The head of the UK branch of Palantir UK is Louis Mosley, grandson of renowned British fascist Oswald Mosley. Palantir has 24 contracts with key UK public institutions; the NHS, Ministry of Defence, the police force, the Cabinet Office, and the DLUHC.
Ideally, the Government should frame any NI change in such a way, to prevent this being added to rents.
It does seem to have attention-grabbing front pages. Not quite as ludicrous as the Mail, though.
Maybe. Hopefully, making private landlording less profitable will bring about a reduction in their numbers. Beinging back rent controls would be good. And ensuring places are fit to be lived in.
