The 'everyone is 12 years old now' theory is partly true. A lot of people are 12 now but the adults still exist and it's time they took away the iPads and asserted some kind of grown up thinking. Bring back (some) shame because this is getting ridiculous

In a surprise to absolutely no one, the mum she’s describing is not claiming benefits as a “lifestyle choice”.

This paywalled article is full of “in my grandparents day, blah blah blah” and nasty sneery comments about latest iPhones for spoilt children🙄

Maybe the racism corrupting Reform from the top down is a bigger story than some childhood chess?

This country is a joke and the ones laughing hardest are in foreign capitals. Deeply unserious
Reform UK's Staffordshire council leader made series of racist posts including telling British academic to "f*** off back to Nigeria" and liking white supremacist posts saying "White Men Have The Best Lives Because We Are White & Better Than The Rest Of the World" hopenothate.org.uk/2025/12/03/r...

Apart from unusable nukes Russia is a pathetic coloniser which unashamedly commits war crimes and should be treated as such. As Stubb said Europe should move to rules-based foreign policy. No excuses for them. And stop being afraid of a third-rate coloniser.

Briefly reposition this as people with loyalties to Israel and what happened with Corbyn (I'm no fan) to see how deeply ****** the elite discourse in the UK has become...

Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’

Western politicians & press: ‘Peace talks have stalled…’

Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender ‘peace talks’ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.

It's really not acceptable for Russia and the US to negotiate European security without Europe, and it's for Europe to make that clear to them (with actions)

This is the kind of push back it's nice to see. And we need something like this on this side of the pond too as we confront the deeply unserious people on the right

Limited sources for this story but imagine asking someone to return the bomb that you sent to them which failed to explode...

US asks Lebanon to return undetonated GBU-39 bomb used by IAF, fearing it could reach Russia, China
The GBU-39 is a glide bomb manufactured by Boeing. Once launched, it deploys wings and can glide up to 110 km, despite lacking its own engine.

It isn't pleasant but everyone needs to understand that the US is now controlled by a white supremacist regime and that has consequences beyond it's borders too

It would be kind of nice if the BBC would cover the *fact* that Trump is a racist and Farage is a racist instead of publishing their editor's opinions on Rachel Reeves

This is how Chris Mason, like a child filled with wonder, described "the choreography and theatre that surrounds a Budget" in Feb 2024, when a male Tory Chancellor was in post.

"Plans, or even just options, can be floated... Reaction to them can be tested. Opponents can be teased or wrongfooted." 👀

This is not going to be hard…You have 8 million Venezuelans in exile talking about the largest reserves of oil..that will be doing business with the American oil companies

So this 'deal' is actually just the US bullying the UK into increasing healthcare costs in order to subsidise big pharma with an unwarranted (and unconstitutional) tariff.

How about we increase the digital services tax in return?

US and UK agree zero tariffs deal on pharmaceuticals
The deal follows threats of tariffs as high as 100% on branded drug imports.

See also, pretty much everything the last 4 Tory prime ministers did and said, the entire Brexit campaign, COVID, the things that the Tories and Reform are currently saying, Farage inciting riots last year... the press are deeply dysfunctional
I must have missed the wall-to-wall coverage of demands for an investigation into Nigel Farage's lies about being a racist

Or about whether he knew Nathan Gill

Or about who bought his house in Frinton

Read this utterly deranged racist tirade and see how close the US now is to full-blown fascism, where 53 million people get placed into the outside group to be persecuted, and opposition lawmakers get targeted.
