Ring-necked Parakeets in the June sunshine in the Park

"We got two marine expeditionary units sailing to this island [Kharg]. [...] We did Iwo Jima, we can do this." How cheap life is when it’s someone else’s sons and daughters dying.

A reminder that the CEO of Centrica, Chris O’Shea, had a pay increase from £855k to £1.1m last year, received a £1.4m bonus and a £2.2m from the company’s long term investment plan. Bet #bbclaurak doesn’t ask about that while he’s pretending to give a fuck about poverty.

Crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne gave Reform UK £12m last year. Nearly two thirds of the party’s £18.8m in donations. Farage’s outfit is not a grassroots movement. It is a political project bankrolled by one billionaire.

From Gaza's killing fields to the NHS, now to Britain's Financial Conduct Authority, Palantir's ghastly tentacles have penetrated every pore of the British state. The UK's demos is now well and truly expelled from the UK's democracy-in-name-only theguardian.com/technology/202…

This was totally predictable, but Trump has lost control of this war. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, oil prices are skyrocketing, war has broken out between Israel and Lebanon, and Iran continues to bomb our allies. He has created a historic mess that is hurting Americans.

Pretty tough talk from a guy who's afraid of stairs.

In a nutshell

Trump says a lot of mean things about people who have died—except Jeffrey Epstein.

Pam Bondi hosted a fake briefing to try and dodge our subpoena, refuses to meet Epstein survivors, and protects Trump over the Constitution. She’s not getting off that easy. Her hearing is soon, and we expect her there.

We’ve always feared a nuclear country falling under the leadership of a mad man and its finally happened and it’s US.

Chris Murphy: "It's just disgusting, it's so heartbreaking that we have a president who is cheerleading the death of American citizens. Mueller is amongst many who have been trying to hold this president to account. He's the most corrupt president in the history of the country."

What a fucking shitshow. 🤦🏼‍♀️

BREAKING: FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen counter-intelligence experts specializing in Iran just DAYS before the US attacked Iran. Even crazier? Those same agents worked on Trump's classified documents case. The level of corruption and coverup is staggering.

Is the world really going to have to burn because the USA can't impeach a president?

ICE barely has enough training to NOT murder American citizens, abuse and pepper spray people, but trump wants to put them into the busiest airports where people are ALREADY on edge? Stop letting our stupidest human make stupid decisions.

Rep. Ted Lieu on the House floor: “Trump raped minors. And it’s all on tape.” That statement is now part of the official congressional record.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that Netanyahu blackmailed Trump with recordings of his conversations with Epstein. Sounds about right to me.

Dear @SenSchumer and @RepJeffries You have 7 months to form a REAL PLAN to stop Donald Trump's election takeover plans to steal the mid-terms. 7 months! Get off your ass, stop the press conferences and actually do what you were elected to do and what you took an oath to do.

Not good enough for woman. Not good enough for children, It's time for real change. Children don't understand legal systems. They just feel absence, confusion, and loss. We can do better than this. theguardian.com/society/2026/m… @SheraFamily @MoJGovUK @JudicialWatch @hrw @ChildrensComm @DrProudman @DrJessTaylor @hansummers @AndhaBandar @Jessica_E_Brown @DavidLammy @MyCafcass @NACCCofficial @The_HCPC @ITV @BBCNews @guardian

This is now the THIRD time I’ve covered a story where a woman has been put on antipsychotic medication for saying that someone was living in her house - and each time the woman was right - and each time a man was eventually arrested and found to be living in her loft. 1 case in Australia 2 cases in UK. This is of course absolutely atrocious - but also serves to prove that there is ZERO science to a psychiatric disorder diagnosis. This young woman was put on heavy antipsychotics that made her feel like a zombie - for trying to report that someone was living in her loft. What scientific or clinical process led to the diagnosis that she was psychotic and delusional? NOTHING. What rationale was there for the antipsychotics? NOTHING. In cases like this, women are disproportionately represented. Women try to report abuse, violence, concerns - and are still being chalked up as ‘mad’ with no evidence whatsoever. I have been working really hard behind the scenes for months now to build something that can step in when this kind of thing happens - and I will explain more soon. There has to be a way to stop this from happening. Women like Chloe are everywhere, in every country - being gaslit and medicated for no reason when they try to report concerns. Pathologisation is rife - and it must end. Psychiatric diagnosis and medication has no basis in science. She deserves compensation and to have all of this struck from her medical record immediately @LBC
