Reform UK have failed at all their Local Election campaign pledges:
➡️ They criticised councils for raising council tax, now they are.
➡️ They criticised councils for cutting services, they are.
➡️ They said they would fix potholes, they are failing at that.

Reform councils accused of being 'worst at fixing potholes'
It comes as the Government launched its new traffic light system for tackling potholes, which shows a quarter of Local Highway Authorities led by Reform have been given a 'Red' rating

In the 1970s, Blackpool's Louis Tussaud's Waxworks had a Chamber of Horrors, which included such delights as the Moors Murderers, a scalping scene, a torture chamber, and this horrendous traffic accident.
Fun for all the family!

Genesis live in 1973, with Phil Collins on drums & backing vocals and Peter Gabriel on vocals, tambourine, a fetching red dress and a fox’s head. Which is all - still! - right up my street.

Labour are increasing defence spending but not at the expense of the 2 child benefit cap, which is what the Tories want.

Tories: Govt should cut welfare to invest in defence -
Tories wrecked defence for 14 years, left a £28bn hole, and now pop up saying Labour should cut welfare. Same old Tory playbook: screw the poor, dodge blame, protect their mates, then lecture everyone about “tough choices”. Absolute nerve.

Problems for the Iranian regime are getting bigger and bigger. Bus drivers in Tehran reportedly went on strike, disrupting the city’s public transport system. In response, the regime is said to be bringing in drivers from other government bodies to keep services running.

Also Russia does have some hi-tech gear sure but they are also so low on conventional materiel that some of them have been witnessed using golf carts, rusty motorbikes & more recently LITERAL Cavalry charges on Horseback in Ukraine.
Meanwhile the CCP is rarely openly aggressive outside their area 🤷🏻♂️

The starting point "Denmark cannot defend the territory" is misleading nonsense - given that Denmark allows the US to maintain military bases there
The Reform UK supporting Telegraph running a comment piece from a US CEO and president of the Palm Beach Freedom Institute about why Greenland belongs to the US is the hight of uninformed nonsense.

Greenland belongs in the United States
Denmark cannot defend the territory. It is too strategically important for the US to leave it vulnerable to potential Chinese control

As of today, Tehran faces lots of disruption. Currency exchange operations have halted, meat and cooking oil are unavailable, and many POS terminals for card payments are down. Meanwhile, protests in solidarity with Iranians took place abroad in Vienna and Düsseldorf.

During the Cold War the United States military had 15,000 soldiers stationed in Greenland. That presence has been reduced by 99% to just 150 soldiers today.
Denmark has given the US exclusive and full military access to Greenland but the US does not use it. This has nothing to do with security.

"2026" is a pretty futuristic-sounding year. 2027 is not. I can't explain this. The next big one is 2031. 2049 is gonna be huge.

Also, the US supported every country trying to break from Europe, but allowed Haiti, the only country where the slaves took power, to pay a infinity fine to French. The limit to the Monroe's Doctrine was black people.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.
