The inevitable consequence of Sir Keir Starmer’s latest U-turn on benefits is that the “working people” he is allegedly anxious to represent are going to have to pay for it.

Sir Keir Starmer has no idea how to stop the boats. Now Sir Keir has mastered the U-turn, is it time for him to reconsider Rwanda?

In fairness to Pete Hegseth, the texts may have been sent four drinks into Happy Hour, so it's not like he meant to share highly classified information about war plans in a text chain.

We've all been there.

I’ve seen video of IDF bombing Nasser Hospital, where a friend of mine is on a humanitarian mission to treat patients.

My friend survived the bombing but a teen patient he treated and who was set to go home today was murdered.

Are you warmongers not tired and sick of this yet? This horror

If an Army private accidentally texted the details of a classified military operation to a reporter, let alone transmitted any classified information to anyone who was unauthorized over an unsecured device, they’d be charged and likely spend time in Leavenworth.

But it’s Hegseth, so probably not.

It's very interesting to see the panic surrounding what's going to happen to the genomic data that 23andMe collected now that it has gone bankrupt. Thanks to a tip-off from Caroline Rivett I wrote about precisely this concern for Avaunt six years ago. avauntmagazine.com/ripped-genes/
Ripped Genes
The ever-growing bank of genomic data we have is radically transforming our world, and as with all revolutions it will spark both positive and negative consequences.

Vance,Hegseth, Who are these dreadful people
Ignorance, & greed,become a kind of euphoria - surfing over lives, sovereign countries, as if none mattered: a game, egging each other on

Early reports claimed Vance was a Christian
That got discarded presumably when Trump offered earthly rewards

Do not listen to bullies. U.S. military planes arrived in Greenland at a U.S. military base — bc the PM REFUSED to meet them. Delegation includes Congressman Mike Waltz, who plan to make the islanders “an offer they can’t refuse.”

HOW is this not an act of war?!

This is how they annexed Hawaii.

In case you want some sweet news today.

I’m volunteering at the book fair at my kid’s school, and discovered Dav Pilkey paid for the whole thing.

For the entire school.

On Radio 4 news this morning, re the death of John Hemingway, they felt the need to add a little explainer about the Battle of Britain; ‘a key aerial campaign which stopped a German invasion’. I suppose in case anyone thought it was about 1066.
