The irony of people attacking free breakfast clubs because ‘parents should work hard to feed their kids,’ when parents use these so they can drop their kids off earlier and then … you guessed it … go to work at the time required by their employer in order to feed their kids.

‼️ ZELENSKYY: For the first time in the war, an enemy position was captured entirely by ground robotic systems and drones - without any infantry. A robot entered the most dangerous zones instead of a soldier and took the positions. «The future is here, on the battlefield, and Ukraine is creating it. These are our ground robotic systems. For the first time in this war's history, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned GRS platforms and drones. The occupiers surrendered, and this operation was completed without infantry involvement and without losses on our side. Ratel, Termite, Ardal, Lynx, Zmiy, Protector, Volya and other GRS completed over 22 000 missions at the front in just 3 months. In other words, over 22 000 times lives were saved. A robot went into the most dangerous zones instead of a soldier» - Zelenskyy’s address to the workers of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex. April 13th, 2026.

Some hospitals spend more on servicing PFI debts than on medicines. If we are going to debate whether NHS funding is 'unsustainable', let's start there.

Magyar on Ukraine 🇭🇺🇺🇦: "Everyone in Hungary knows that Ukraine is a victim of this war and no one should tell them under what conditions they should enter a peace or sign a peace treaty. We cannot tell any country to give up their territory. And this is what the Fidesz politicians said. Then I would like to ask them: What would you do if Russia attacked Hungary? Which Hungarian counties would you be willing to give up? Ukraine should receive security guarantees and territorial guarantees that can be observed and kept. Ukraine, under the Budapest Memorandum, gave up its nuclear arsenal for guarantees, but those guarantees were violated repeatedly by Russia."🔚 This is a good starting point. Hopefully, the relationship between our countries can be mended from here. I'm really looking forward to having sane neighbors.

BREAKING: US-sanctioned tanker, Chinese-owned Rich Starry, transited through the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday despite a US blockade of the vital oil chokepoint, shipping data from LSEG showed.

The Iran war increasingly looks not only like another shocking humiliation but perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in American military history. trib.al/Y3eQ1Se

Don’t know who needs to read this but the U.K. hasn’t deviated from EU standards whatsoever since Brexit Why? Because we voted in favour of these standards 99% of the time when we were in the EU - they’re pragmatic and sensible standards

Pretty much the whole of Europe and even China have congratulated Magyar on his landslide victory, but not the two autocratic leaders Putin & Trump.

Scotland manages nearly 1/3 of the UK’s landmass but only receives an 8% share of Westminster’s transport spending. You can't maintain 32% of the land on 8% of the budget. It’s a funding model that ignores geography and punishes our infrastructure

Labour manifesto pledge: £100million emergency fund to help people buy petrol at the forecourt. The same Labour that pledged to save Grangemouth. Grangemouth used to ensure our fuel security, but was closed under Labour less than a year ago. 🤷‍♂️🤦

There are pretty much countless large parking lots for cars, and installing solar panels over them would generate half the electricity we use. Not only would this be an efficient use of land, but it would also help keep the cars cooler while parked.

Brexiters are calling this “capitulation”. It’s not. It’s the UK finally admitting reality: if you want to trade with the EU, you align with EU rules. That’s not surrender. It’s how trade works. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Any more on the insider trading that’s been going on around Trump? I predict there’ll be more peace talks and more peace talks failing, more deadlines and more deadlines extended as there’s too much money to be made out of advance knowledge of these oil price points.

Plot twist: he could've cured his own bone spurs the entire time

“I’m proud to have paid £150k for a seat in a house I wasn’t elected to, just so I could veto the democracy of the people who actually live here.”

The guy who just flew to Hungary to get involved in their politics tells the Pope, who is from Chicago, Illinois to stay out of US politics.

@danielgoyal NHS England is riddled with #Palantir IT and data handling. NOT in NHS Scotland! Why I worked hard in committee during Health & Care Act to stop UK SoS being able to just seize NHS Scotland Data.

You could find huge savings by binning Trident which is both yesterday's news and almost wholly dependent on an increasingly unpredictable US.

History, according to Washington: Iran tore up the JCPOA, bombed the US twice mid-talks, and assassinated American leaders. We must all be brain-dead lunatics living in that alternate universe. 🏆 Nobel Prize pending for this creative writing.
