What is this ‘way of life’ you talk of?
I’m not remotely religious, and I’ve no interest in any of the imported mythologies from the Middle East. I don’t go to church, I don’t pray to Mecca, and I don’t intend to start.
But I’m not troubled by those who do. I rather like living in a free country where people have the right to believe, or not believe, without your permission. That’s called liberty. You seem to prefer a version of it that only applies to people like you.

@WestminsterWAG Sorry this happened to you but blaming Khan for it is exploiting for political purposes. He's not personally responsible for the moral disintegration of these idiots.

I took the 94 bus home from dinner with an old school friend tonight. I was harassed by a man, while another sat next to me apparently in hysterics at what was going on. It was fine: I’m far too long in the tooth to care about a couple of dickheads. But had I been younger, I would have been quite scared. It’s not right that women should have to put up with this bullshit. Not right at all. London is not safe. @SadiqKhan

While many people have been dissecting the power struggles and growing fissures within the Labour party, it might instead be timely to concentrate on what their senior figures all have in common.
Behind the division and fratricidal scheming, they are united by the same raw desire to preserve their party at all costs. They seem to place its existence above all other considerations.

@CheckCharlieB Tories 2010-2024 doubled the deficit.
Yes that's right they double the UK deficit in 14 years.

Bob Kennedy fired all 17 vaccine experts and replaced them with loyalists.
A federal judge just threw out everything they did and restored vaccine schedule's for children. The regime lost.

@HawaiiDelilah @RpsAgainstTrump That applies on both sides of the Atlantic 😕

@ChristianHeiens @Arin_Yumi @RealJohnRose You're minimizing. It's grossly offensive. If he'd said "Nagasaki that was a blast" would that be ok?

The cultural divide between America and Japan is likely too vast to even attempt to explain how this wasn’t actually said in malice (everyone I personally know who saw this meeting laughed at the line).
But believe me when I say the average American bears no ill will towards Japan for events from over 80 years ago.

@EricIdle Just started experiencing this in the last year or two (I'm 61; hope I'm not peaking early).

Oddly as you age you remember more and more of your early memories whereas you can’t remember what you did yesterday. I think it may be your brain reviewing everything as you begin to pass away…. Not a bad thing but do write it down!

@EricIdle I've had an ample number of "senior moments", but I was amazed when, about a month ago, the name of a teacher I had in high school in 1968, which I've been blanking on for *decades*, suddenly popped into my head. Out of the blue - thinking of something "completely different".

This is tariff logic cranked up to full insanity.
There’s no strategy here. None.
We’re talking about effectively opening the door to Iranian oil while global prices are already spiking past $100 a barrel because of the war. At the same time, easing pressure on Russian oil has already been flagged as funneling billions back into Putin’s war machine.
So what’s the genius move?
Drive prices up with chaos, then scramble to “fix” it by rewarding the very regimes you’re supposed to be containing.
That’s not policy. That’s economic self-sabotage with a geopolitical bonus for your enemies.
What the hell are they doing?

After un-sanctioning Russian oil (much to Putin’s delight) — Bessent now says Trump is UN-sanctioning Iranian oil to “use it against them” 🙃 A damn circus🎪

Trump: "When 97% of the stories are bad about a person, that's no longer free speech." @atrupar
Fact-check: False. In the United States, the press owes no duty of loyalty to POTUS.
