Still one of the best things that has ever been on TV.

Trump is sueing the BBC. I really, really hope the BBC do not settle. Drag him through court and let everything he has said come out.
And then make him fund the BBC for decades.

Would this have happened to a white resident? Asking for the First Nations.
Screenshot of a tweet by The Seattle Times on X.com stating that Indigenous actress Elaine Miles from “Northern Exposure” was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop, and agents told her that her Tribal ID was fake. Below is a close-up photo of Elaine Miles smiling.

Reform UK Party Ltd spent £700,000 on a 2-page spread — one page being just an image of Farage and the other a letter, meaning he spent £350,000 on pictures of himself.

The average UK house price is £272,000.

Also, the ‘full English’ is badly photoshopped on — it's tiny!

How will the government fund scrapping the two child benefit cap? Talks about the fact it's important to remember public finances are not like household finances.

I shared this photo a week or so ago on Mani’s birthday
- It never failed to bring a smile to my face - and that was exactly the same for the man himself.

One of the absolute best in every way - such a beautiful friend

Love you Mani x x

Nobody cares that Paul Givan ordered schools to (illegally) discriminate against trans kids.
Fiery debate at Stormont as bid to oust Givan fails Minister survives no-confidence vote over controversial Israel visit Belfast Telegraph11 Nov 2025BRETT CAMPBELL Stormont’s Education Minister has survived a bid to oust him from the Executive over his trip to Israel, despite a majority of MLAS supporting a no-confidence motion during a fiery debate. Paul Givan was accused of acting like a pantomime villain during the hostile Assemblysittingwhichsawtempersflare on all sides of the chamber yesterday. At one point the chaotic proceedings were interrupted by pro-palestine activists opposing what they described as “murder” and “genocide” in Gaza. Protesters shouted “Shame on you, minister” from the public gallery as elected representatives had their say on the motion brought by People Before Profit’s Gerry Carroll, who accused the DUP minister of failing to uphold his pledge of office and comply with the ministerial code of conduct by using departmental resources to share images of his visit to a school in East Jerusalem. Sinn Fein MLA Declan Kearney branded the trip as an “Israeli state-sponsored propaganda stunt” and an “obscene act which caused deep offence”, while pointing out it has been roundly condemned by teachers’ unions, students and “all right-thinking people across these islands”.

You can be assured that tendentious memo by Michael Prescott, and the co-ordinated combination of the Telegraph, Mail, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and the White House means that the BBC hit job has been long in the planning, and has some insider help

I imagine @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social will be getting the usual abuse for speaking out - solidarity with her and all those fighting against hate manipulated by the wealthy right gleefully creating a distracting wedge issue
Mirror EXCLUSIVE: JK Rowling 'funding transphobia' as equality in Britain goes backwards, MP says Nadia Whittome, who has just joined Westminster's Women and Equalities Committee, called for the Government fight back against toxic narratives and show solidarity with the trans community She said: "It's increasingly difficult when what we're up against is a machine funded by billionaires in this country and the US, with political support from countries like Russia as well. "You just need to follow where the transphobia is coming from, it's not coming from working class people, it's trickling down from the top. "These concerns are not being raised by a cleaner on the minimum wage, somebody stuck in an abusive relationship. Trans people aren't a threat to them, the threat to them comes from violent men and the structures that keep them trapped, whether that's low pay, low benefits, not having access to the public services they need. She said: "We see negative headlines about trans people in the media every day, the Tories and Reform continue to use them as a political football, often most damagingly in reference to protecting women from women who aren't trans, which misdiagnoses the problem of male violence, which is something...done to women both trans and not trans by violent and abusive men. "The only way we can stop trans people being used as a political football is to stand up for their rights unequivocally, by not giving an inch.
