This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.

Feel your pain.
Glad it's not just me. How to make holey cardigans trendy...
This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?
Love how these types know nothing about shipping, that the insurers have suspended cover, that new vessels for bulk, container or tankers costs millions of $ to build, that owners not captains make these kind of decisions and the companies have duties of care to their civilian crew. Absurd nutters.
Where was Farage’s closest aide and Reform UK Welsh leader Nathan Gill heading when he was arrested for taking bribes from Putin’s pal Medvedchuk?
To a Kremlin sponsored conference in Moscow, to talk about the role of crypto currencies in politics
The warnings are there for us all to see
How is any of that remotely legal?

I don’t know you but that’s a horrible thing to happen. If there’s any kind of anger room type place near you, maybe try taking a sledgehammer to some inanimate objects and let yourself physically rage by beating the crap out of something. Don’t try to contain all your grief. Good luck.
Ah, a little note there for Chalamet.
Welcome to the fight.
A bunch of puerile frat boys, getting off on killing people. I do not have the vocabulary to express my disgust for this.
Show me what a lack of exposure to the Humanities looks like in policy terms. The rest of the population aren’t actually real to them.
For pity's sake, this is how these losers choose to spend their time, like a bunch of 10 year olds making crank calls? Accountability really hits home I guess.
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.
I was suspicious when Netanyahu was talking about Americans going back to the Bible. Like he's ever been into that. Were Jesus ever to deign to reappear I'm pretty sure he'd be brandishing a large cast iron skillet to hit every one of these guys over the head with.
Comments like that should be enough to remove you from your post. Insane.
If First World Problems had a social media account. Good grief.
WTF
“Round up the Muslims”???
Oh my god.
As Nigel Farage is now so concerned about the influence of "foreign-born voters" can he finally explain why a Kazakhstan-born billionaire appears to be bankrolling his own political party?
Rumer Godden - more than 5. For starters.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.
So wait, other 'civilisations' have not persisted for 1000s of years? The Islamic world that gave us maths & much science? Chinese, Japanese, Indian-subcontinental cultures that influenced the West? South American indigenous cultures more advanced than their conquerors who merely had weapons? Jeez.
This is the Gov looking for your input on the BBC. It takes a while to complete (15/20 mins) but it’s pretty comprehensive and covers most aspects.
Please share. I’m surprised many people haven’t seen it yet.

And if you’re wondering “Why is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.
Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop
And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)
