It only takes a minute — will you write to your MP too? actionnetwork.org/letters/invite…

No help from the Crown, not "the throne". I know the @nytimes vociferously hates the UK, but at least get your facts straight, FFS.

Mr. Mountbatten Windsor should now do what he always said he would do - i.e. “help any appropriate law enforcement agency" - and testify before the US Congress.

If you can trudge through this pseudo-intellectual claptrap from the right wing’s very own Ernst Röhm, good luck to you. Totally untethered from any rational thought, mired in self-importance, bonkers beyond belief.

@PhilipDilley @tomlee80 Mate, there’s egg salad sandwiches more intelligent than you.

@tomlee80 Do you think you might be more intelligent than me, Tom?

Nigel Farage is now the most popular man in Britain. It is almost impossible to find anyone who doesn't love him and he has the confidence of the nation.

World % of GDP from the Russian Federation: 3.5%
Combined GDP of Europe and the US: 51.3%
There is another way to end this. There just isn’t the political and economic will.

It’s a despicable abuse of police powers to arrest nearly 500 people for non-violent protest. The Home Secretary @YvetteCooperMP should be ashamed that this has happened on her watch.

Hear, hear. This is a damnable - one might almost say disgraceful - abrogation of this nation’s responsibility to do what’s right; no matter the cost. Platitudes and persiflage, again and again, when circumstances call for action. For shame.

Regular as clockwork - the ghoulish leader of the death-spiral @Conservatives rises from her tomb to see who else she can damn.

Absolutely right and proper that the former First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Ben Key, has been terminated. The Royal Navy (the Senior Service) needs to pursue rigorously any behaviour that falls short of the highest standards.

Fiasco is right - from the winter fuel allowance to disability benefits, it’s just blunder after blunder from @UKLabour. I don’t doubt that they are well-meaning, but politics is about delivery, not intentions. Do better. Please.

I make no political comment on this, but it’s sloppy journalism to report pejoratively that His Imperial Highness “[calls] himself the Crown Prince [of Iran]” when he was born during the reign of The Late Shah and confirmed in that style in 1967.

The deaths of Rep. Hortman and her husband - and the wounding of two others - is an unconscionable act of malice and cowardice. Condolences to their families and friends, and solidarity with the people of the great state of Minnesota.

As one of the world’s last remaining absolute monarchs (there are about five, give or take), of course His Holiness is political- how could he not be?

This representation of the US president as the heir to St Peter: Bishop of Rome, Supreme Pontiff, and Vicar of Christ must rightly offend the global Roman Catholic communion. The Holy Father is the Servant of the Servants of God, not fodder for a tacky meme.

Obama dresses in a tan suit and conservatives call him the antichrist. Trump posts an image of himself in a tan miter (the Pope’s headdress), days after the Pope died, and they celebrate him as some Christian revolutionary.

Shocking lack of communication from @GWRHelp tonight at #Paddington. Nearly 20 mins late departing and not one announcement. We understand delays happen - we also need to get home.

This is exactly why people stop believing that the system is working in the nation’s best interest. Common sense seems to be another casualty of the post-truth era. Do better @labour, FFS.

Th cappa magna is a tired relic of the bygone Papal States and previous pontiffs’ folie de grandeur. Perfect for this self-important, hypocritical blowhard who would give Herod the Great a run for his money in his narcissistic grandiosity.

In Italy, an old video of Cardinal Raymond Burke in Florence is circulating on social media, with plenty of ironic takes In reality, the Cappa Magna is a symbol of ecclesiastical dignity It’s removed during the ceremony to signify humility and the renunciation of worldly goods

Lord Coe isn’t perfect, but is a a major force in world sport. His third-place finish in the @Olympics presidency (behind the son of the Francoist Marqués de Samaranch) puts the IOC on a par with @FIFAcom as the most corrupt sporting authority on earth.
