It is very difficult to think of anything Trump has done this year that does not denigrate the USA’s staunchest allies and delight their once shared enemies, most obviously Vladimir Putin. And apart perhaps from Mark Carney, Western politicians are not rising to the unprecedented challenge he poses.
Trump: "Immigration and energy are going to destroy Europe."

Stalin and Kruschev both said that without lend lease the soviets would have been beaten.

The only western equipment they refused was mine detectors. Can you guess why?After you guess why our current advance is 20 times slower, given this war is now only abt 30 days shorter, than GPW.

Here's an update on Arcitc sea-ice extent, which is still at a record low for the date, about 180,000 square kilometers below the previous record daily low set just last year.

This isn't going to end well.

New discovery: 4th-century mosaic hall unearthed in Türkiye’s ancient Hadrianopolis
The mosaics feature motifs such as peacocks drinking from a fountain, geometric patterns, ribbon designs, or an eight-pointed star. About 80% of the mosaic has survived intact.

I see #bbcqt is platforming Reform Ltd again. With a Tory defector. And a Tory MP. No Lib Dem, despite them having more MPs in Scotland than the Tories. Reform have precisely none. #bbcbias

The designer of Times New Roman, Stanley Morrison, was a conscientious objector in 1916 and was imprisoned for his pacifist beliefs.

These dipshits can't even vice signal without screwing it up.
Times New Roman is an imported font, developed for London newspaper The Times in 1931. You know what American-designed font cooked up in 1994 would be perfect for this regime? Comic Sans.
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move

How many times do we need to point this out?
By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it.
While weakening your own position.
There's a vast amount of academic research showing this.
But Labour will not listen.

If I'm due to follow my wife into the shower she draws me a heart with an arrow through in the condensation on the glass. When the situation is reversed I draw her an ejaculating cock and hairy balls. Who says romance is dead?

Not sure how long Farage is going to get away with this sort of thing….
Long enough to get into No.10 where he can fully screw the country over? Or could he (for love of god) be investigated before then?
Racism aside (which should end his career), he’s just so bloody corrupt…

In order not to be a US colony, Europe would need military power to match theirs. You have always campaigned against this.

Or have we misunderstood?
With its recent National Security Strategy, the US is putting in words that which Europe's Lilliputian leadership accepted - and wanted - for yonks: Europe is a US colony. The only thing that is new is that we now have a US administration that says so! www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

That’s nothing Jane. Susan’s gingerbread men don’t have willies.
My parent’s local A&E doesn’t have pillows, time, beds, capacity. The GP doesn’t have emergency appointments for emergencies, services with capacity to refer people to.

Caring like this about nomenclature and pronouns seems to me a luxury pursuit, frankly.
Susan Hall's condition has now reached the 'shouting at biscuits' stage.

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.
With millions now pouring into Reform, it’s beyond time to properly investigate this grubby little man

Great idea not to mention that the entire saving was made in the year ending March 2025, two months before Reform took over.

Here I am with Reform councillor Andrew Harrison, who was one of a group of people fined over £1m for employing illegal workers. Like all good patriots, he hates immigrants, apart from the ones he can exploit for profit.
