It’s appalling to see police officers come under attack at the Tommy Robinson rally. Those involved should be held accountable through the full force of the law.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.
I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.
Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

EARHARDT: We have radicals on the right as well. How do we fix this country?
TRUMP: I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem.

260 lives gone. One survivor.
A pilot asked,"Why did you cut off?"
The other replied, "I didn't."
Fuel switches flipped. Engines died.
The plane never climbed again.
🕯️A tragedy still full of questions. A moment that haunts more than the sky.

I’m looking forward to this. I hope we can the rights to run it on the Eggflix channel.
Thinking of writing a sitcom pilot set in the Academy. Plato is constantly rambling about the Forms, Socrates interrogates every passerby to exhaustion, and ambitious student Aristotle won't stop pointing out everyone's logical fallacies. Also featuring Diogenes, who lives in the supply closet

It’s much more an indictment of the Tory Party. That a coalition which has been the default party of government for 200 years or so is reduced to having Robert Jenrick, best known for corruption, as its leading figure could signal the biggest revolution in UK politics since 1688.
The fact that someone as dishonest and hypocritical as Robert Jenrick was not long ago shamed out of public life is a damning indictment of the state of politics and media in the UK

Fascinating to see how Rishi Sunak and David Cameron dress freed from 'having someone in CCHQ advise them how to do it'. A big win for Cameron's dresser, a big L for Sunak's.
In ex-PM style news, Rishi has bought some trousers that fit and Boris is still unable to afford a haircut.
