We‘ve lost one of the most foundational unifying aspects of being British: our shared hatred and distrust of everything yank. No wonder we’re all so divided
It is actually completely mind bending watching a Home Counties numpty scream “Christ is King“ - would have been unimaginable even a year ago - how susceptible their whole personality is to American YouTubers - pathetic really

Sounds like the uninspired menu of any American chain restaurant. Are there 3for2 Margaritas too?
Scottie Scheffler's 2025 was delayed due to a surgical procedure caused by... cutting himself with a wine glass attempting to make homemade ravioli.
So the 2024 tournament winner added it to this year's menu 🍝

Confirming what others have discussed or reported, 18F, the elite tech consultancy within TTS/GSA, was formally disbanded overnight. There’s a formal RIF, the legal system in which the government downsizes/layoff people. I’m told it’s 60 days on leave for all involved.

Think this is forgotten about and to do so leaves out so much context. This is personal for Trump. He blames Zelensky for his first impeachment
The origin story behind yesterday began in 2019 when Zelensky refused Trump’s illegal demand that he investigate Joe Biden.

My response to yesterday's shambles in the Oval Office, the latest stage in Trump's soap opera. Relations between Trump & Zelensky might be restored but peace deal will be elusive.
