Trump, prefacing a statement with "...to the best of my knowledge..." legitimately allows him to follow it with any old bollocks, because his level of knowledge is such a low bar.

The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...

Her departure comes after the PM's ethics adviser concludes that she breached ministerial rules.

It's more a question of, if that's what they really want (people of Scotland and Wales), does the UK Govt have a moral right to prevent them?

A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation

For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking consequences. They’ve hacked phones, listened to ...

Seems @ReformDurham and @darrengrimes_ owe their electorate an apology,

They sold Durham the unicorns of DOGE and no council tax increases.

DOGE has found nothing and now they may be raising council tax.

Never trust a Reformer.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

There's that old saying of '(S)he who is tired of London is tired of life', but not sure that has the same resonance for someone who specialises in timescales of the cosmos? 😉
Glad you're enjoying our fair city.
