Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.

I wish everyone would wake up about this. Especially the Labour Party.
The former head of MI6 Sir Richard Dearlove says Europe is no longer in a pre-war situation with Russia, but an actual war.
"I don't think there's any point in beating about the bush," Europe & the US are in a "very dangerous situation." "We are in an extraordinary situation historically."

Fascinating
Etymology of the day: before a tapering piece of hanging ice was called an ‘icicle’ it was an ‘ickle’. In the Middle Ages people decided to add ‘ice’ for extra oomph and (tautologically) called it an ‘ice ickle’, until the two words eventually blended together.

Look - two massive cųnts. After looking at this photo of Sissy and Baldy I can’t decide which is the most massive in their cųntiness.

In 1992, a container carrying around 29,000 rubber ducks and bath toys fell into the Pacific Ocean near Hong Kong.
The toys traveled on ocean currents, reaching Alaska by 1995, Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest by 1996, and the Atlantic by the early 2000s.

To be clear:
It's £1m untaxed, plus £325k of standard tax free inheritance.
You can double that if the farmer is married.
So farmers can hand down £2.65m tax free, and their kids pay 20% on everything else.
Tax on your job is 40% over £50k
"Land owner" is not a job

This will affect fewer than 500 farms, and the IFS says farms are "still more generously treated than they used to be in decades past"
It's just closing a loophole that's been used to avoid inheritance tax, and which pushes up farm rents and makes it harder for 76% if farmers to make a profit.

I fear the U.S. government may actually collapse. When you look at who he’s picking, what they plan to do, who they plan to fire, how under-resourced and understaffed and perpetually anxious the remaining employees will be, how much institutional memory is being washed away, the utter lawlessness...
