Hard to believe that some nob tried to import a CyberYuck to the UK earlier this year.

"..legitimate concerns exist around the safety of other road users or pedestrians if they were involved in a collision with a Cybertruck," police said."

So that’s 69% of people who DON’T think the BBC has a left-wing bias, then.

NB This newspaper believes that 52% is a sufficient crushing majority that everyone else should be silenced, mocked and shouted down for dissenting.

Spread the word.

Karoline Leavitt does almost daily press briefings. There should be equal and opposite briefings from Democrat spokespeople to counter her lies. God knows there would be plenty of material to counter.

These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child & even worse - these changes were introduced by the government without consultation, warning and no evidence base

🚨This is not what I expect from a Labour government

THESE SHOCKING cuts are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child - the Adoption & Special Guardianship Support Fund is a lifeline for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England

Schumer may have voted no but people are tired of the DC dance.

✅ The 8 senators admit they kept him in the loop
✅ The 8 senators that voted yes are not up for reelection
✅ His No. 2 voted yes

We need a new politics with new faces for working people.

Michael Bennet: The current system is in dire need of help. The American People are hanging onto their fingertips when it comes to the cost and availability of healthcare. There is no rich country in the world that doesn't have a universal system, or routinely supply access to doctors and care.

1/ A wounded Russian soldier was buried up to his neck in a so-called "tight pit" to 'remotivate' him to go on an assault. In a video, the man names his commanders, whom he says are running an extortion racket, and appeals for help from the military authorities. ⬇️
