Not many things in life will have you pumping your fist in the air, but watching little Tommy Robinson’s (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s) face and bravado drop when he gets called out for his racism and hypocrisy by boxer Ty Mitchell is one of them.
This is glorious. 🔥

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

The ability to have a market pause between Friday and Monday was a key means through which governments could contain financial market crises before things got out of control

Obvs, Nick Robinson didn't bother to challenge the idea that British workers should be forced to make ends meet on £5.42/hr (£200/wk or £10,428/yr).
Sounds mad, but that's the direction corporations & billionaires want us to head towards.
It's where Reform & the Tories would take us.

CEO of recruitment firm "Reed", was just whining about how uncompetitive the UKs new minimum wage will be (£12.71) compared to the US Federal rate ($7.25 or £5.42).
Forget the mindboggling corporate greed that represents, but also the US rate hasn't been increased since 2009, FFS

Apparently it can always get worse. The full version of the new U.S. National Security Strategy, aptly named “NSC-1488” by the wags, calls for actively pulling Poland, Austria, Hungary and Italy from the #EU. And supporting far right.

Number 483736 of how the USA ruins everything. We don't need or want ad breaks during playtime of a football match.
News: Every 2026 World Cup match will feature two "hydration breaks," no matter the weather.
Each half will pause for exactly three minutes midway through.
It's a player welfare measure. It also has sporting & commercial implications.

With the new U.S. national security strategy (“NSC-88”), I think it is high time to ban Twitter in the EU altogether. At the very least, what the ever loving hell are our politicians doing there anymore?

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
