Left: President Trump, "Regime change (in Iran) was not our goal" Right: President Trump, "But we also want regime change (in Iran)" These two speeches were on the same day 🤷‍♂️

Earth isn’t flat, the Moon landing wasn’t faked, and space isn’t some CGI dome. These claims fall apart the moment you look at the technology we use every day. None of it works unless Earth is a sphere in a real cosmos. Start with GPS. Your phone calculates your position by comparing timing signals from satellites orbiting Earth. Those satellites move at precise speeds and altitudes that only make sense in a real vacuum. If Earth were flat or if space were fake, GPS would fail instantly. No navigation, no rideshare apps, no airline routing, no global timing systems. The entire system depends on orbital mechanics that match what physics predicts for a spherical planet. Satellite internet, satellite TV, and weather forecasting all rely on the same reality. We watch storms form from orbit. We track hurricanes across oceans using data from satellites operated by different countries and private companies. These systems agree with each other because they are observing the same real planet from space. If space were fake, every meteorologist, every aerospace engineer, every telecom company, every airline, and every military on Earth would have to coordinate a perfect lie for decades. That is not possible. Now to the claim that NASA fakes photos of Earth. This is one of the easiest conspiracy theories to debunk because NASA is not the only source of Earth images. Not even close. Dozens of countries and private companies have their own satellites that photograph Earth constantly. Weather satellites from Europe, Japan, India, and South Korea all produce their own full‑disk images. Private companies like Maxar and Planet Labs take high resolution photos of Earth every day for commercial clients. Amateur radio operators receive live images directly from NOAA satellites using equipment you can buy online. None of these systems rely on NASA. None of them match a single centralized source. Yet they all show the same spherical Earth from different angles at different times. If NASA were faking Earth photos, every other space agency and every private satellite operator would have to fake them too. They would also have to coordinate the lighting, cloud patterns, storm movements, and surface features in perfect sync. That is not happening. The simplest explanation is the correct one. Multiple independent systems are photographing the same real planet. The Moon landing is even harder to deny once you look at the tech. We still interact with the equipment the astronauts left behind. Observatories fire lasers at the retroreflectors sitting on the lunar surface and receive the return signal at the exact predicted intervals. This is not a theory. It is a measurement that universities and independent facilities repeat all the time. You cannot fake a laser return from nearly 240,000 miles away. Even the internet used to spread these conspiracies relies on space infrastructure. Undersea cables carry most traffic, but satellites handle the rest. The timing, routing, and handoff between systems only work because the satellites are actually in orbit. If space did not exist, the global communications network would collapse. The irony is simple. The technology that flat Earth believers and Moon landing deniers use to post their claims is the same technology that proves them wrong. The evidence is not hidden. It is built into the functioning of the modern world. You can reject the conclusions, but you cannot reject the infrastructure that makes your phone, your internet, your weather alerts, your maps, your flights, and your entire digital life possible. These conspiracies do not just fail scientifically. They fail technologically, mathematically, and logistically. They only survive when people stop paying attention to the systems they rely on every day.

How ignorant can a Tory get? Marmalade comes from the French word "marmelade" which in turn came from Portuguese. It was first used as a breakfast item by Scots & given by James Boswell, from Auchinleck, to Samuel Johnson in 1773. England followed suit in the 19th. Century.

Can we stop with the marmalade thing. We can still use it it’s just we need to add “citrus” to marmalade as other fruits are used in the EU. Hardly newsworthy…

A new protection unit is being set up to deal with the rising level of threats and abuse MPs are facing. Labour MP Kim Leadbeater says 'we are in a worse place' now than when her sister Jo Cox was killed while serving as an MP in her constituency 10 years ago.

Labour are on your side, making work and housing more secure, supporting families with free breakfast clubs and childcare, investing in our NHS and lowering energy bills. Reform voted against these things. Phoney Farage isn’t on your side.
