Ooh, excellent!
Ta for the heads-up. 👍
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
Dearest Donald Trump...
Not any more; they're only 'chocolate-flavoured' now.
Sacrilege.

This is everything
In 1915 Britain was at war in the Middle East. It was utterly dominant in one particular domain- the naval.
Britain smelt a quick & easy victory- using their naval mastery to batter their way up the Dardanelles Straits & threaten Istanbul
Instead it would be an epic of imperial hubris
They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

If anyone wasn't of the belief that he's trying to create a state-run media, the fact that he shared this should take care of any hesitation on that front.
Wot? No shout out to his mates in Buenos Aires, Pyong Yang and the Kremlin?!
"Reform UK’s shadow cabinet"
Aiding and abetting, much?
For all their numerous sins, the Conservative party is the official opposition. These Reform UK representatives are party spokespeople, nothing more.
Reinforcing their PR nonsense is not a good look, Guardian. Please be better than this!
Impossible not to enjoy! 😁
They're fab live.

Nothing.
An ultra-premium-quality croissant is a little piece of Heaven, best unadulterated.
Excuse my asking an idiot question from across the pond, but where does that $10bn payable to the Trump administration end up: in the US Treasury or elsewhere?
He's a monster (as are his team of venal lickspittles).
NHS surcharge is an illuminating example of a policy that has been designed to meet public concerns about migration impacts. Hiking it from £200 to > £1000 means the NHS is v likely making a surplus (esp on students). I doubt many people have heard of it
FWIW, some of us aren't laughing; I myself am looking on from afar with a mix of deep sorrow and abject horror.
When an image of her - picture or video - crops up on my screen, my brain's autopilot instantly reaches for the word 'backpfeifengesicht'.
Every. Single. Time.
As per de Pfeffel Johnson before him, he wants to be elected prime minister (narcissism) and to have been prime minister (££££) without the intervening inconvenience of having to be the prime minister.
🔥 Despite Reform’s surge, the overall swing in local elections in the East of England region was towards the broad left.
Don’t let the media noise fool you.
The right didn’t advance - it fragmented. Here’s how...
A video has been shared with claims it shows a fight breaking out at Birmingham City Council after a councillor was seen “eating during Ramadan”.
