Re Eurosong and Eurovision – maybe make it a rule that, if you attack and/or invade a country, neighbour or not, you are automatically excluded from the club. Any Eurovision thing. Final.

BREAKING: Big challenge herein for all those leaders who hailed South Africa's stewardship of the G20 in Johnnesburg last weekend. Trump saying he won't allow them to attend next year's G20 in Florida (NOT in Miami, but at his own personal golf club). I suspect we'll all be skipping a year.

I heard on BBC Radio4 breakfast this morning that his death was being "celebrated on Bluesky and other social media platforms". WTAF. Really?!

I'm waiting for the BBC to respond to my complaint about Justin Webb claiming that people on BlueSky were celebrating - and only naming BlueSky.

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

I don't know about you but I've had about enough of mainstream media & politicians legitimising racist anti-asylum protests that terrorise refugees & communities.
I had to push back hard, TWICE on BBC yesterday about supposed "legitimate concerns" www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtkA...

Trump said the goal of the summit was a ceasefire. If no ceasefire, there will be consequences for Russia.
Putin gave Trump the middle finger. Said he would continue fighting and committing war crimes.
Trump said ok no problem.
Putin's in charge. Trump follows orders.

Trump has halted or dropped enforcement actions against 160+ corporations, including:
-42 consumer protection cases at CFPB
-20 foreign bribery cases at DOJ
-6 employment discrimination cases at EEOC
-7 crypto cases at SEC
It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.

Former UK-US ambassador Sir Kim Darroch thinks Trump has made a category error, if he thinks Putin is angling for a land deal. Putin's only aim is the total subjugation of Ukraine. His objective in Alaska is a deal that he knows Ukraine cannot accept, making Zelenskyy "the difficult one" again. ~AA

Sorry, but why are we wasting time worrying about teens on TikTok when clearly the real at-risk group was right-wing adults on X.
Am not sure Prevent was really designed for that, alas…

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from:
-Sinking poll numbers
-A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill
-Harmful trade wars
-Unleashing the military on American soil
-Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism
We must remain on high alert.

The "1.2 m illegal immigrants" number - (from @pewresearch.org - has been seized on by Reform, unchallenged by BBC/media.
It's a lie.
1. It *includes* large number of people *with leave to remain" - here legally.
2. It *includes* children born here
3. It's upper limit of 800K-1.2m range
