You have to be ready for the unthinkable. The stuff that "surely nobody would -?"

Ed Davey criticises Starmer and Cooper for failing to acknowledge Trump's attack on Venezuela as a clear breach of international law

Cooper response is both cowardly and disgusting

1. Yes, it's weird
2. Yes, it prob does say some pretty messy things about human limitations re how we relate to stuff that is unlike us, & maybe it suggests we lack empathy for gender nonconformity, even in absurd fictions about other species
3. Maybe it's not that deep

As usual: socialism for the wreckers, thieves and billionaires.
Got finger-wagged by a fair few people on here bc I doubted the sacred word of the oil industry but I think this at least somewhat vindicates my view they were largely posturing for handouts and subsidies

Trump has clearly received a few phone calls......

Bounded down stairs to greet then-husband home from work, missed bottom step, swung 'round newel post with one-handed death grip & one ankle entirely swivelled under me, came out of that & hit front door with spare hand. Embedded charm bracelet in that hand. Ripped every tendon in left leg.
Decided I'd hitch a ride on the back of a milk float aged about 8. It sped up and I realised I wasn't allowed past the end of my road. I didn't wait for it to slow down, jumped to disembark, hit my thigh on the kerb, hobbled home and hid
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

NBC News: “How soon will elections be held in Venezuela? Within 30 days?”

Rubio: “Elections? I think it is premature at this point.”

The US is going to be there for the long haul.

"Ok: put them all in separate cars and have two of them crash, and then over the next 15 mins, everyone else crashes into this massive obvious crash site, one at a time?"

Massively bad decision from the Labour Government.

“We’re going to carry on putting government announcements up on a website generating, publishing and distributing child porn at unprecedented rates so that both will appear in the same feed”

Is beyond embarrassing.
Keir Starmer's spokesman asked if Government will still use X now it posts indecent images of children, replies "we always keep communication channels under review to reach public in most appropriate way possible”

"Operators are under obligation to act appropriately. We always hope they would do"

If an actual genocide was not a red line for our Government then we should not be surprised when they are unwilling to call out the extra-judicial rendition of a foreign leader and the theft of their country's natural resources.

Who the hell is telling them this will go down well? I mean I'm sure the nicely paid daily mail editors will love it, but the families of 4.5mn kids that can't afford to feed them are once again watching someone well-off be given a nice treat they absolutely didn't need.

Sake.
Superb news - especially for anyone considering investing for the very first time.

Amazing. People literally can't afford to feed ★4.5mn kids★ in this country, and Labour's focus is on popping another tiny biscuit in the mouths of the comfortable middle classes.

Five days into the Government's 'strong start to January.' Day 1 blame the voters. Day 2, blame the civil service. Days 3-5, ignore international law.

Voters & civil service didn't make a Labour government cut winter fuel payments & refuse a wealth tax.

We need a government that has the courage to stand up for immigration.

Because the only alternative to that is that this country's economy (and therefore our infrastructure, defence, and future) is fookt.

All the other leaders of NATO members need to say the same. Every single one.
It's wild that the PM of a NATO member feels compelled to put out a statement like this vis-à-vis the US government.

Zelensky on Venezuela:

“About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you”

Omg I love it.
