Labours position appears to be that being ever nastier to immigrants will eventually turn this round. Stop for a moment and ask yourself whether that could ever be the case.

The last known picture of IAN CURTIS.

Taken at his local Woolworths photobooth in Macclesfield - May 1980 - for his visa application to the USA and the Joy Division tour that never happened.

Because, you see, buying influence is only a worry if a Labour peer donates a couple of "freebie" outfits to close friends. When a man, whose business is literally DARK MONEY, single-handedly rescues a near-bankrupt far-right party, leading in the polls, he's doing it because he believes in Nige.

Yeah - I just think as a starting point, let's start by 'why aren't people with certain diagnoses working' not 'is the increased rate of diagnoses the problem?'

If Germany wants to self-exclude with them… good.

All corporate CEOs should understand: If you agree to attend an event at the White House, you are very likely to be filmed nodding appreciatively at a delusional racist rant. If you're ok with that, go. If not, you probably should stay away.

The CEOs of Ford and Stellantis, as well as senior executives from other auto manufacturers, standing beside him while Trump goes off on another vicious racist rant about African immigrants. Not one of them had the courage or the dignity to walk away.

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

Current US Policy:

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

I just can't get over the fact that the guy who gave this quote is 45. It would be embarrassing for all involved if this quote came from the *current* under-14 chess champion, but from an adult...I worry I've ruptured something from cringing so hard.
Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.

1) What the actual fuck how did this just get normalised in the space of three years…. Oh yeah everyone just hanging out on Twitter like boiling frogs

2) not broadcast, as they aren’t quite ready to push Ofcom on this. This is the “good stuff” for unregulated YouTube.

Europe needs to stand up to Putin and take no shit and leave Trump to his slumber. He's a lame duck already and will be gone soon enough. And surely if Putin's demands are thrown back in his face the west can collectively defeat this man who has caused so much despair and death...

Germany looked like it was winning the war in the spring of 1918. But its offensive was unsustainable, and the Allies held their nerve and won.

Russia has thrown everything at Ukraine, and the financial and emotional strain, as well as all those losses, must surely be at breaking point. Surely...

Trans women has been welcomed at the Women's Institute since the 1970s and one member is in her 80's and has been a member for decades. This is pure bigotry pushed by legal threats backed monetarily by JK Rowling.

Sometimes it's frustrating to not be able to come down on a side of an argument. But this is one of those instances where I don't think there's a right answer. The system is so broken. The best solution would be to pump £bns into it. Can I see the public choosing that over eg NHS or pensions? No.
