And the BBC.
All together now: This is why we stand up and litigate frivolous and vexatious lawsuits rather than settling.

Let's hope @cbsnews.com and ABC are taking notes.
JUST IN: A federal appeals court panel (with 2/3 Trump appointees) calls his lawsuit against CNN — over use of the term Big Lie — "meritless" and affirms the decision by a lower court to throw it out. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

You must read @carolecadwalla.bsky.social on the latest “too big to fail” stock market shattering statements of the Tech Bros.

Alex Karp and Sam Altman in full head wagging denial mode should tell you all you need to know about the reckoning to come

Trailcams set up for the @badgertrust.bsky.social's #Brockwatch. A little late, but hopefully will be of some use. I'm not sure if we have badgers in the fields, though possibly polecats in the wider area. Will be interesting to see if they capture anything. Will give it a few days and then check.

Important time. This was a few weeks after the Skripal attack when May called out Putin, and Johnson went scuttling off without his security detail to meet Putin confidante* Alexander Lebedev in Umbria and plotted with Temerko to topple May

* by then he was aiding Putin’s puppet regime in Crimea

What is truly pathetic about Labour is that this is all they have got. They have failed so spectacularly already, despite a whacking great majority, to even attempt to govern positively that all they have is punching down on marginalised groups and saying "oh but Reform will be worse".

‘Sooty, Sweep & Robby’ is my 4 year old granddaughter’s favourite programme.
She loves Sooty’s magic tricks, Sweep’s stupid jokes and Robby’s really silly speeches.
