The last parliament was overwhelming in favour of a trophy hunting ban; the Labour government had it in its 2024 manifesto - but of course Donald Trump is trying to over-ride the view of the British people on #AnimalAbuse

Greenland is currently protected by article 5 of the NATO treaty so it’s astonishingly unlikely that Russia or China would invade. Unless something happened first to destroy NATO, such as one NATO partner invading the sovereign territory of another. After that, Greenland would be on its own.

The fact that universities are being hounded by the orange buffoon and his minions, grants suddenly evaporate and foreign students are being randomly detained and deported can’t really be helping. I would be horrified if my kids wanted to study there. Would definitely be safer in Shanghai.

No, this isn't Tehran. It's Minneapolis.
Some protesters have reported being hit with rubber bullets close to the scene of a reported shooting in north Minneapolis involving federal agents in the area of W. 25th Street and Lyndale Avenue N.
Federal agents have deployed chemical irritants. Updates here: bit.ly/4sI4z3q

If I’d seen this picture of a journalist working in a gas mask and helmet, in a cloud of gas, without any other context I’d have assumed the picture might be from Gaza, Ukraine or Iran. A few days ago, I would never have imagined it would be from Minneapolis.

He wasn’t flipping that guy off. He was boasting that he’s the #1 pedophile protector, the best pedophile protector. No one has ever seen such a pedophile protector.

One can only hope that a future president (with a decent majority in the house and senate, if that ever happens again), understanding how close America came to ceasing to be a democracy, will swiftly get to the task of implementing better safeguards. Assuming there is a future president.

Hopefully future presidents will be just as expedient in erasing his name.

NATO Allies now distinguished from NATO foes. I was glad to hear Jon Stewart pushing the point that Trump’s lie about “if US doesn’t get it, Russia or China will take it” neglects to mention that an attack on Greenland by either is remarkably unlikely as that would trigger Article 5.

This is just another dead cat. Whatever’s in the Epstein files must be utterly damning for them to be starting wars, killing citizens, literally anything to keep the Epstein files out of the news.

Fibre broadband has just died. Looked out of the window to see a man pulling cables out of the telecoms chamber. “Nothing to do with me, mate.” Yes, I’m sure it’s complete coincidence that my normally ultra-reliable broadband has died just as you’ve been yanking stuff around where my fibre goes.

Are the democrats putting any energy into what to do when Trump finally appoints a Fed char who will not only do what he instructs while he is president, but continues to follow Trump’s instructions until the end of their term?

If that sort of insult slips out on live TV, it’s hard to imagine what he says behind closed doors.

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks

Hate is absolutely appropriate as he has no redeeming qualities at all. He takes delight in harming others. Is actively working to reduce medical research, and increase preventable diseases that will take generations to recover from. He lies about everything. He cares about no one other than himself

Whatever is in these Epstein files must be absolutely devastating to Trump given that he’s invaded a South American country, is threatening to invade a European country and now has his masked thugs executing citizens in the streets.

The harm that Trump voters have unleashed on the world is going to have a multi-generational impact. Who knew that a pro-disease platform would have been so successful.

If only Republicans cared as much about the 14th or 25th amendments half as much as the 2nd amendment, this could have been avoided. Hell, Mitch McConnell personally could have stopped this by whipping senators to convict Trump of the insurrection impeachment.

Instead of all of these private companies fighting over the “low hanging fruit” for these injections, it would be helpful if the NHS could at least come up with a plan to negotiate a lower price for buying much larger quantities and come up with some sort of part-private prescription.

I don’t qualify because I’m not diabetic which is a criterion for my area. My GP did, unironically, suggest that maybe I could “cancel a few subscriptions” to pay for it as he strongly recommended that I take it, but with 10mg Mounjaro coming in at £70/week (thanks to Trump) it’s just not an option.
