The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.

But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Olaf wanted to show everybody how he went to town on his treat puzzle. There was still one treat remaining, which he found moments later. He usually finishes this one very quickly. We have a few more difficult ones that take him a bit longer. He loves these puzzles!

Lib Dem leader Edward Davey calls for a national investigation into Russian political interference in British politics:

"Given Reform won't, he must. So will he know launch a national investigation into Russian infiltration into our politics?"

Starmer: "Reform is riddled with pro-Putin propaganda"

Trump finally pardons someone who isn't a crony, fraudster or Jan 6 rioter
The lucky recipients of this year's Thanksgiving turkey pardons are called Waddle and Gobble - although for reasons that have not been explained, Waddle did not attend the ceremony in person

Last night the Government steamrollered its Planning Bill through, slamming the door on vital protections for nature.

They said it would be a ‘win-win’ for the economy and nature.

But in reality, they’ve pushed nature into last place.

Truth!
Farage's racist remaks as an 18 year old were only "banter" if he rejected racism later. But he never has. In fact, without racism, Farage wouldn't have a career!

Trump's prosecutions of Comey and Letitia James fell apart precisely because he ousted career prosecutors who insisted on following facts and law. His installation of a pliant stooge is what blew up in his face.

We know that Nigel Farage is an admirer of Vladimir Putin.

Now a senior member of Reform is going to prison for taking bribes from the Russians.

The Scottish party should now confirm that there will be no bags of roubles arriving for them and their colleagues.

Extensive effort by multiple law enforcement / science / conservation partners to determine this as a wildlife crime. But of course, yet again the offender hasn't been identified, charged, prosecuted etc. Something needs to change.

What I find annoying about UK-based "wither German industry" pieces is they never drill down into details of German supply chains

This piece highlights how other EU states are doing OK in industrial production without considering how far their supply chains are intertwined with German manufacturers

This claim is inaccurate and misleading. The members of Congress categorically did not tell the military to "defy the president" as implied here. What they said was this: "you can refuse illegal orders." That statement is accurate and consistent with American law—though it does require context.
