There can’t be a more horrific insight into the sickness of the US’s gun crime epidemic than the fact two survivors of Brown University had already survived school shootings. One was shot in the abdomen in 2016, while her best friend died. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Bloody hell Badenoch seemed worse than usual with Jackie Long on C4 tonight. Objectionable, disingenuous, deeply stupid and very fucking patronising patron is an unfortunate combination for anyone, never mind LotO and when you're talking about victims of multiple rape. Dreadful.

Calls for farage to apologise?

No.

What's needed is an unequivocal clarification as to whether or not he holds those views to any extent whatsoever NOW. Ask him. Keep asking him. That's the point.

Oh thank FUCK.
Please do not speak to them again. Do us all a favour.
Farage also wants an apology from the BBC "for all of your appalling output" or he won't speak to them again. He sounds very, very rattled.

Excellent, vital job by Emma Barnett on R4 this am. Robustly challenged Richard Tice's vile claim that Farage’s accusers are inventing their Farage allegations, then ended th interview leaving Tice’s own execrable lie, that Peter Ettedgui had fabricated Farage’s antisemitic abuse, hanging in the air

It was making my insides curl that the latest US / Russia "meeting" was billed as "Witkoff holding talks with Putin" when it was obviously the other way round
Putin’s demands are insane and show that he has no interest in peace, while Trump is once again wasting everyone’s time.

Trump is not only a traitor but also remarkably bad at being one

"bad character" evidence will be banned from being used against rape victims while easier to introduce against defendants, so prosecutors could, for eg, introduce domestic violence offences of any type. This is very welcome reform.

So take this in. Straight from the NATO meeting after Russia’s attack Britain’s primary military town, Salisbury, Boris Johnson flew unofficially to party in Umbria with a former KGB officer working for the Kremlin.

Can anyone tell me how this has been forgotten?

When I hear Corbyn talk about the culture of community and collaboration, I'm wondering why he couldn't get himself into an anti-brexit gear.

English councils plan to sell off social clubs and sports centres to balance books.

Social spaces lost forever. Libraries, community centres, school playgrounds, parks closed/sold as council funding cut in real terms to appease the rich.

Social vandalism.
