(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

The far right becoming the official opposition in Germany and the US siding with North Korea at the UN.
If the warning signs weren’t clear enough, then surely they must be now?

Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US Health Insurance which would be 4x more expensive and worse in every way.
Except for the £600bn a year profit for him and his mates.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

So on the pardon front, we have a day when an outgoing president feels the need to pardon lots of people who haven’t committer crimes, and an incoming president who will likely pardon lots of people who definitely have (Jan 6th insurrectionists).

Just found out that the kid in the Blades shirt in Batman Begins is listed on the credits as 'African Boy in Rags'. I feel like more Wednesday fans deserve to know about this.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.
If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Jeremy Clarkson is turning up to the protest tomorrow.
A reminder that he bought his 312-acre farm in 2012 for £4.25million in HIS OWN WORDS so that he:
*would not be required pay death duties on the land*
