I have more respect for the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at George W Bush than any of the cowards in the current White House press pool.

Disabled people driving luxury cars on your dime? Just the latest rightwing lie peddled by Labour.
Govts stigmatize people claiming benefits as scroungers, claim fraud is rife.
Silence on corporate welfare, tax abuse by corporations/rich. HMRC failed to collect over £500bn tax since 2010.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that partnering with an unpredictable American regime weakens Europe. The only way to save itself is to disconnect from toxic Trumpistan, just as it did with Putin.

Really good podcast this. I feel like a lot sports journalism has gone 'well, it would be a bit weird if we talked about this every time we discussed Liverpool's form', so instead what happens is we cover them like they are having a normal season.
There was an extremely good episode of The Sports Agents last week that was dedicated to this. 25 mins long, but thought provoking input from all involved in the discussion, including psychologists. It even addresses how the new players - who didn't know him - would have been affected.

So, Farage who’d previously failed 7 times to be an MP, decided that in Clacton he’d rely on his old Brexit friends - cheating (and racism) - to get him his win.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”
