Trump: "Christians and more, think of this, more than twice as likely foster care they'll adopt the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it like it's become second nature. It's amazing."

"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".
Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

Because you are worried about the environment, brain rot or what? In a way it is just a faster Google. If you are worried about the planet dying because of people using AI then you are right to be concerned as the energy bill is horrifying.

I do hope that the BBC board and editorial standards committee will not fall prey to this ridiculous attempt to control public history.
1/5 It was entirely predictable that The Telegraph would jump on @DavidOlusoga’s Empire series to fight its right wing culture war for control of our public history. Let’s see what they’ve done:

The US regime is trying to export its culture wars again. We should be clear: in our jurisdiction human rights standards, based on dignity and autonomy – not the whims of Christian nationalists – mean that abortion is healthcare.

I very much feel for the two national guard members, but violence is the bedrock on which the USA was created, and for as long as it persists with its 2nd amendment gun rights, gun violence will continue to be a fundamental part of American everyday life.
Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

Serious howls of outrage in the media this morning at what is a relatively modest Budget from Labour that does nothing more than fiddle around the margins.
It does highlight the missed opportunity. If you’re going to get this reaction anyway, why not at least get it for attempting a big swing?

On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism".
These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

This is one of the changes in the UK media landscape that should be more remarked on: the fact that being a very open, proud, outright racist is no longer a bar to being a pundit on some TV stations (in this case GBN and Talk TV).
Lucy White advocates a ban on "non-natives" from office, citing Rishi Sunak and Priti Patel.
So she is referring to UK-born ethnic minority citizens. (Her argument would apply equally to Shabana Mahmood, Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman and others)
Lucy White continues to be a GB News regular

Feel sorry for Romero there. Elbow was about 5ft from the ball when it's struck and he's falling down at the time. You can't fall down with your arms tucked in, and it's basically an automatic law against closing down in the box.
