Another favourite wartime fact is that Peter Butterworth of Carry On fame - was a POW at Stalag Luft iii and was involved in the Wooden Horse escape.

When he later tried to audition for a role in the film he was turned down for not looking heroic enough.

Reports from inside Russia make it clear that there was no Ukrainian drone attack on Putin's compound. The compound is protected by SAMs, anti-aircraft guns, and fighter jets, none of which deployed. No person in the region heard or saw any evidence of an attack.

Putin lied; Trump believed him.

For 5 years Britain has tiptoed around Europe, afraid to admit what was lost.

Erasmus+ is the first honest step towards rebuilding trust – through people, not tariffs.

Why Erasmus matters more than any customs fix
Britain’s debate over tariffs misses the point: people, not paperwork, determine whether Europe feels shared again

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else. The bill has finally arrived.

"By 2025, the UK economy is 6%–8% smaller than it would have been had we stayed in the EU. In economic terms, that is not a blip, a rounding error, or the unavoidable cost of “taking back control”."

It is indisputable that Brexit has been an economic disaster, and notable that none of its political architects have paid any price.
Brexit has caused almost twice as much damage to the UK economy than estimated by official forecasts, according to new paper from a group of experts including a senior Bank of England economist

Your reminder that the EU offered to freeze Brexit talks in 2020 so we could focus on Covid but Johnson said no. He then fucked up both: partying while 23,000 needlessly died & did a Brexit so shit the economic impact (-8% GDP) is worse than predictions he described as “the work of gloomsters”
