The EU's Entry/Exit System launched yesterday. British travellers now need fingerprints and facial scans when entering Europe. Expect longer queues and €7 ETIAS fees from next year. More Brexit red tape.

Reform's own reps discovering in real time that their claims are fantasy. After years of austerity squeezing council budgets, we need a new approach.

I mean to be fair to Trump he’s not the only 79 year old who’s been radicalised by reading utter shite on the internet. He is the first President of the USA who has been though, which is something of a problem.

I mean, the most incredible thing about it, despite every last sodding thing he does and says being completely batshit, there isn’t anyone whatsoever on his side who will speak up and call it out for what it is.
Ok, so like, everyone does realize that his brain confused “seeking asylum” for “insane asylum” and he just stuck with it, right?

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

We're at the point where the Trump does something worse than Watergate daily, often multiple times a day. And none of it makes news; it's just normal now.
In a less insane time, if it was discovered that the President of the United States said this privately to their AG, it would’ve triggered an all-encompassing, impeachable corruption scandal.
Here, Trump is saying it publicly and it’s just another Saturday.

Kemi Badenoch refusing to acknowledge that Tommy Robinson is "far-right", now on LBC, and refusing to condemn Elon Musk's words. In fact she says what Musk said *isn't* incitement. So what would be incitement then? How violent would his words have to be before he was deemed a threat to this country?

So many people are soooo complacent about liberal freedoms they take for granted. Just like they were complacent about Trump and Putin. Don't be those people.

Trump signs executive order rebranding Pentagon as Department of War
Order directs Pete Hegseth to seek congressional approval for permanent change from Department of Defense
Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday to rebrand the Department of Defense as the Department of War, a callback to the department’s original name used from 1789 to 1947.
The directive will make Department of War the secondary title, and is a way to get around the need for congressional approval to formally rename a federal agency, an administration official said. Continue reading...

I always love it when people get up on their high horse about this, because I do know lots of people who were Tories for decades and are now Reform and let me tell you, getting to know them is a highly instructive and helpful experience with many useful lessons. Give me a minute here.

Who the hell wants or needs a center right party?
again the way to make the republican party a normal center-right party is to beat it repeatedly, not to do this “my good friend, senator goebbels” thing or going out and talking about how you miss reagan

"For about an hour" was, in fact, for seven-and-a-half minutes each, with the UK PM getting the last word, then leading a Q&A session with media. But this is such an excellent example of the mendacious, awful, biased reporting that has been the hallmark of the entire Brexit debate for a decade. ~AA

Just watched episode 10. No spoilers but, my god, it’s majestic television! Can’t wait for episodes 11 & 12 but at the same time it will all be over. #Andor #StarWars #Luthen #Kleya #Lonnie
Star Wars has been with me since I was 7 years old, I’m 55! My children have grown up with it. Watching #Andor in 2025 is remarkable. Tony Gilroy has taken the original backstory and dug away at it, made it real and relevant, and with such care and attention to detail. Truly brilliant storytelling.
