This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

How the Daily Mail responded to Liz Truss' economy-crashing tax cuts for the wealthiest, vs how they responded to Rachel Reeves spending a few per cent more on hospitals

This is an absolutely disastrous framing to adopt. “Immigration beings great gains but it needs to be controlled to maximise benefits” was/is right there on the table. Instead they have opted to lead with the strongest possible “Nigel Farage is right, don’t vote for him” headline.
If you thought the PM’s speech was punchy, his foreword to the immigration white paper says high net migration has done “incalculable damage” to the country.
That is a serious shift in tone for a Labour government/party.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

people who think and act this way shouldn't be allowed to live in society. we need to bring back exile. stick this lady on a boat and shove her off into the sea.
Anyway, this is about as gross and anti-social a statement from an antivaxxer as you'll find, but also probably pretty par for the course

This is a President who skipped a World War One commemoration because it was raining talking to one who has stood in front of a fresh mass grave of his own people.

One significant advantage we have with Starmer attending the emergency summit in Europe on Monday is that immediately after, he won't skip his security detail and scuttle off to Umbria to be debriefed by Lebedev and his dad.

"fueling mass delusion seems to be a great way to win elections and pump stocks in the short run, I'm sure there will be zero downsides to this in the long run"
all these terrorists threatening trump and the people trying to assassinate trump are trump supporters and this is a sign that social media rot brought out by the extremism of elon musk is infesting the rightwing mind in a way no ones truly grappled with yet

Couldn’t see us losing that.
Don’t take your chances you’re open to a upperpunch.
Better team away from home at a promotion rival though.
We’ll be ok
