@HansMahncke a few points: 1) USA stopped all aid to Ukraine in the January of 2025 2) Trump threatened Canada and Greenland with invasion 3) Trump belittled allies who answered after 9/11 4) Trump has demeaned all European leaders 5) Trump never consulted allies over Iran. Which he won..

What we learned last year is that Willie Mullins doesn't always know the pecking order of his juveniles so it's worth throwing a few darts. I've backed 3 ew - Apolon De Charnie @ 18/1, Mon Creuset @ 22/1 and Forty Fifty @ 50/1. The last one is especially interesting at the price

Watched the Dinosaurs documentary on Netflix this weekend. Highly recommend, especially with kids. Dinosaurs ruled this planet for 165 million years. Then an asteroid they never saw coming ended it all in a geological blink. Put that in perspective. Humans with abstract thinking, art, and complex language, what we'd call truly modern humans, have existed for maybe 50,000 to 100,000 years. Civilisation as we know it? Writing, cities, organised society? Maybe 5,000 years. The version with industrial-scale technology, global trade, and the ability to reshape the planet? Barely 200 years. And the version with nuclear weapons, AI, and the ability to end all of it? Less than 100 years. We solved the asteroid problem, by the way. NASA can now track and deflect them. The thing that wiped out 165 million years of dinosaurs, we've figured that one out. And yet billions are being spent daily on war and destruction, making an already bad climate situation even worse. The threats coming from the universe are becoming manageable. The ones we're creating ourselves, not so much. The dinosaurs had no choice. The asteroid just came. We do. That's what makes what's happening right now so much harder to watch.

☑️☑️☑️☑️ @MillwallFC make it 4 consecutive away league wins for the first time in 8 years 🚌 The Lions are just a point off 2nd place and are on the longest away winning streak in the division 🦁

Dirty Business on @Channel4. Brilliantly made, devastating. Water must be nationalised now. The owners of the private water companies jailed.

The world will do anything to stop Millwall being promoted. WW3 is a bit much though.

That’s obviously bollocks. People didn’t want Labour. They didn’t want Tories on steroids either. So they voted Green. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s just voters saying, “Nah, not you.” And spare me the culture war nonsense. If this country supposedly can’t stand women or minorities, then how exactly did a blonde lass from Bolton win, in a party led by a gay Jewish fella from the South? Doesn’t quite fit the dramatic little story, does it? The truth is you and Farage thought it would be a cakewalk. Wave a few flags, shout about migrants, collect the votes. Instead, you got a metaphorical bloody nose. Turns out people can smell recycled rhetoric from a mile off. You’re on 90k a year, banging on about “the working class” like you clock in at a warehouse before Parliament. There’s something almost impressive about earning that much while pretending you’re one late gas bill away from disaster. The average Joe isn’t stupid. He’s tired, skint, and wide awake. Reform and the Great Yarmouth People’s Front trying to cosplay as working class is genuinely comedy gold. It’s like watching lads who’ve never done a proper graft shift in their lives explain to bricklayers why Abdul down the road is the reason their wages are low. No. People are struggling because you lied about Brexit, you hollowed out industry, and you treat the working class like a photo opportunity with steel-toe boots. And the more you shout, the more obvious it becomes.

Reform has today reported the many cases of ‘family voting’ to the Electoral Commission and Greater Manchester Police. What was witnessed yesterday is deeply concerning and raises serious questions about the integrity of the democratic process in predominantly Muslim areas. If this is what was happening at polling stations, just imagine the potential for coercion with postal votes. If action isn’t taken now, then we will ensure it is after the next General Election.

Reform want to steal your pension and rip up your employment rights. They are not a party for the working class. They are a party for big business and billionaires.

All these arseholes & Labour will still win, why, because the far right are shit, racist, selfish twats backed by unpatriotic billionaire TRAITORS that pay no tax, we see you. #VoteLabour

Still going Evening canvass No party works harder than Reform Sixth safest Labour seat? We don’t care Go hard! The Reform way We always give it everything Everybody who has seen the data knows this to be true One day I’ll tell you the full story

@LeescoLee3 @GaryGAKman He is a fat, moronic, Orange faced Nonce!

@GaryGAKman He is our most Anglophilic president ever. Thank heaven we will have him in place until 2028.

In all my years as a congressional advisor and political commentator, I have never encountered a more anti-American British Prime Minister than Keir Starmer.

⬇️ Inflation down ⬇️ Interest rates down ⬇️ Borrowing down ⬆️ Retail sales up ⬆️ UK fastest growing European G7 economy There's more to do, but our economic plan is the right one. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

If elected, Reform say they would: – Reinstate the two-child benefit cap – Scrap the Employment Rights Bill – Scrap the Equality Act – Scrap the Online Safety Act – Abandon Net Zero – Leave the ECHR – Deport thousands of legal migrants – Cut over £200 billion from public spending And they call that “common sense”. Let’s be clear what this actually means: • Fewer rights at work • Weaker protections against discrimination • Less online accountability • No serious climate strategy • Pulling the UK away from international human rights frameworks • Massive public spending cuts that would hit services ordinary people rely on You can support whoever you like. That’s democracy. But don’t pretend this agenda is about “protecting ordinary people”. It’s about shrinking the state, stripping protections, and shifting power upward. The question isn’t whether they’re honest about their plans. It’s whether people understand the consequences.

The reality is better than you’re being told. NHS Waiting Lists down Potholes improved Mortgages/debt costs down Childcare working Train fares frozen Bus journeys capped Energy bills down Inflation reducing More people in employment Productivity up A future with Europe #Labour
