X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.
Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.
No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.
Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

not quite sure how i am going to describe the officiating in that game at cheshire. Happy SNB isn’t on tonight. Indefensible. I can’t give the league a pass. If it wants to be taken seriously then that ain’t it.

parody alert! ‘our immediate priority is to continue working with key stakeholders to maintain stability whilst contributing constructively to the process with FIBA’. The latest word salad of nonsense from the interim chair of the failed BBF.

Reform's ludicrous ‘Britannia Card’ is a masterpiece in political manoeuvring | Faiza Shaheen
While it promises to enrich the poor, the proposal offers a subtle tax break to the wealthiest. But Farage knows better than Labour that headlines matter, says Faiza Shaheen, the incoming executive director of Tax Justice UK

Interesting and insightful profile of Starmer
www.newstatesman.com/politics/202... 💥 EXC: For my first edition of the New Statesman as editor, I went on the road with Keir Starmer, discovering a man far more emotional than I expected, struggling to articulate his deepest feelings — and those of the country he leads👇
What Keir Starmer can’t say
The Prime Minister believes he will heal Britain – but can he find the words?

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

We need to dispel some rumors. There is ZERO fentanyl trafficking on both of our HIMI islands. In fact, while our Gentoo penguins can travel hundreds of miles to bring partners their favorite pebble, they are incapable and unwilling of carrying even an ounce of illicit drugs.

This is one of the most significant market decisions in years and it's clearly a bunch of crap they pulled together using Wikipedia and AI in a couple of hours. Tariffs on uninhabited islands, separare tariffs on islands that are part of other counties... it's all nonsense.
Also - Reunion is France and Norfolk Island is Australia.
Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands.
The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited.
