No time for your bullshit, even less time for my own.

People are generally nowhere near as good as cats are.

Reform and MAGA are a cancer.

£10m on proceedings against Palestine Action. I know it's a drop in the context of the full public purse, but blimey. What a colossal waste. I don't think they have ever been so popular either

Apparently “America First” means promising foreign countries financial assistance from US taxpayers but only if they vote for the incumbent president trailing in the polls.

Trump's increasingly frequent talk of ongoing fraud in elections, months before mid-term, is a sure sign that he expects his party to do very badly.
Stay awake America, don't let him cheat you .. he is the only one that has attempted election fraud.

Well said. The problem is that the leaders of the US government and the people around them are more interested in their ability to profit from the resources of Ukraine and business deals in Russia than a lasting peace for Ukraine and Europe.

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.
Orbán’s pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oil
The Reform candidate at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor Orbán’s far-right propaganda unit?

Also conversations about social media bans need to consider what we want young people to do instead. What will they do? Because concerts cost £££. No youth clubs. No libraries. We used to entertain ourself hanging out on the High Street. There is fuck all for young ppl on High Streets now

Hungary holds elections in 2 months. And the US Secretary of State is in Hungary campaigning for Viktor Orban. And as you can see, Russian state media loves it.

The UK was declared measles free in 2017.

Vaccine programs completely eliminated it.

Since then, pro sickness conspiracy theorists and anti science idiots have enabled its return.
“Seven schools and a nursery have reported more than 60 suspected cases of measles in an area of north London, and labs have confirmed 34 cases since January 12. Some children have been treated in hospital.”
