HomeSmiths is a small team so for two of our projects to make finalist in the @SBIDawards has blown us away. 10% of the vote is down to the public and if you would like to support us, you can do via the following link. sbidawards.com/award-categori…

The claim: “My team draws on talents from across our party, based on meritocracy and with a breadth of experience and perspective.” The team: 😂😱😬🤦🏻‍♂️

How can any decent Republican vote for a man who is essentially saying @LizCheney should be taken out and shot. The guy is unhinged and dangerous and serious about the idea of dictatorship.

Really is incredible to think that the Tories announced compensation for victims of two scandals, then did nothing to arrange the money. Labour has had to put aside a massive chunk of the money they secured yesterday to fulfil a promise the previous government made.

Trump said America was a garbage can. He supporter said Puerto Rico is an Island of garbage. He surrogate says people need to be slaughtered so tonight @mehdirhasan was told he should be assassinated. This can only stop if we defeat Trump at the ballot box. So let’s do it.

Love the dynamic between @sturdyAlex and @zoesqwilliams It’s exactly this kind of healthy debate which I love about this podcast.

Van Jones: “Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are not taking the same exam. And I think it bothers people. They’re not taking the same exam. He gets to be lawless. She has to be flawless. That’s what’s unfair.”

Blimey, book-wise Johnson is currently not even a tenth as popular as Prince Harry. A cursory reading of UK media would leave a credulous consumer convinced that it *must* be the other way round. As with Brexit, Truss, 'culture wars' & the rest, they're all so, so full of sh*t.

Lock him up

Yvette Cooper: "£700m to send 4 volunteers to Rwanda, & how much did he spend on a flight?"

Instead of an independent platform, twitter is now Musk's curated feed pushing you to vote for Trump & to believe nutty conspiracy theories. Much like reading certain tabloids in the UK. Propaganda. Instagram sells 'influencer' products. Twitter is selling right-wing ideology.

A hopeful and informative listen, to start the week.

This cannot have been easy for @LaylaMoran yet she delivered a measured, informative and hopeful review of the conflict. Since the pod is about seeing an alternative POV, I hope that this ep is widely shared, as clear + calm discussion is surely what we need more of right now.

@JenAinsworthUK @redskyatnight @MysteriosoX My go to hangover “breakfast” was isotonic Lucozade and salt and vinegar square crisps to stem the nausea.

@redskyatnight @MysteriosoX OMG this. Sitting through a full 9-530 day absolutely dying, literally dying - puking in between meetings and somehow living to tell the tale

I feel quite sad for Gen Z and their meal-prepped overnight oats and commitment to hydration. I have fond memories of going to work one day c.2000, straight from someone else’s hotel room, drinking a Diet Coke on the Tube and spraying Batiste dry shampoo on my hair outside Boots

Leon Munsk apparently doesn’t want people to see that Trump supporters at Donald Trump’s Coachella rally were stranded after the event. You know what that means! Pass it on!

Doctor Victoria Rose, a British consultant plastic surgeon who worked in Gaza, described the frustration and disbelief felt by Palestinian doctors over how the “world can just stand and watch” as children in Gaza are bombed and the suffering continues.

This is the table display of Boris Johnson’s memoir at the Cheltenham Literature Festival tonight. Waterstones staff keep cleaning it up. But then festival goers keep doing it again! ⁦@cheltfestivals⁩
