On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7 percent, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls. That evening, however, Ms. Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter. The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8 percent, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9 percent, the documents sho

Journalist, "Wall Street analysts have coined a new term TACO trade - Trump Always Chickens Out - on your tariff threats"

President Trump has a mini meltdown and criticises the EU

A letter — signed by 12 long-term institutional investors that together manage about $950bn in Tesla's assets — calls for corporate governance reforms to address a 'crisis' at the carmaker. www.ft.com/content/6b52...

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

Only one of these two members of Congress below have been censured by Congress for alleged bigotry.

Guess which one?

Nigel Farage under pressure over Reform candidate's vile Hitler post Labour has said that unless Reform condones 'extreme views', voters will think that it shares them after campaign group Hope Not Hate claim to have unearthed a number of alarming cases

Don’t let the arrest of a Federal Judge distract you from the announcement that ICE can enter anyone’s home without a warrant to look for migrants.

Reform UK’s candidate for Runcorn Sarah Pochin - asked the difference between coming to the UK from Ukraine and crossing the channel to flee war in the Middle East.

Her answer was to brand them illegal. Her deflection doesn’t seem to have been scrutinised.

SORRY. Sorry.
Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

👏🏻

Andrew Husband is Reform UK’s candidate for Chester-le-Street North, County Durham.

He’s become good friends with Darren Grimes & here he is with Nigel Farage 3 days ago.

Do they know his terrible business record?

Not the best look for someone asking #Durham to vote for him to run their finances.

Some absolute top notch signage here. 👏🏻

BBC reports that Reform candidate Stephen Hartley standing in Oxford has stepped down following revelation that in 2022 he called Jimmy Savile a "working class hero" on twitter.

Er... it's A LOT worse than that!

This is full blown "Dolphin Square" and "Nick" territory

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants.

History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well.

Nigel Farage, dereliction of duty

This morning sees the important meeting of Clacton Town Board at 10.00 am.

This is one that the MP should attend and always did (see Attendance ‘expected’): tdcdemocracy.tendringdc.gov.uk/ieListDocume...

But guess where Clacton’s MP is? Florida, USA.

"Can I invite you to join us on Planet Reality for a second? ... Are you okay?"

This is a brilliant interview from @lewisgoodall.com - it's painful to watch how the complete waffle from the Russian State is being pedalled

It's actually mind-blowing!

This is great meaningful - boycott everything and everyone that supports Trump and musk

@DHSgov on X: On March 9, 2025, in support of President Trump’s executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism, and in coordination with the Department of State, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student. Khalil led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. ICE and the Department of State are committed to enforcing President Trump’s executive orders and to protecting U.S. national security. 8:29 PM · Mar 9, 2025

Executive orders are not laws. Anti-semitism, while abhorrent, is not illegal. "Activities aligned" to a terrorist organization are not material support for a terrorist organization. The former is legal and protected by the 1st Amendment. The latter isn't.

This is a lawless statement of a dictator.

letter to The Observer 2.3.25 "The absent sausage" Nigel Slater's mouthwatering recipe for sausages with spinach and cannellini beans was accompanied by a succulent full-page photograph (Magazine, last week). However, it depicted only five sausages, while the recipe indicated six. Am I the only one who wants to know what happened to the other one? Verne Sanderson Tenterden, Kent

superb letter to The Observer

Pic of the day

Ofwat accused of 'rewarding failure' after handing pay rise to CEO David Black's pay is set to rise to between £180,000 and £185,000. He is currently on annual leave as water companies are launching appeals against the regulator's price rulings.

£15,000 pay rise for OFWAT CEO.

Must be for performance - water companies dumping sewage in rivers, unplugged leaks, record hike in customer bills, permitting companies to pay dividends

Will probably get a job with a water company, previous CEO is director of Thames Water.

“The Transatlantic alliance is collapsing. This may have been the biggest moment for European security since 1991 if not 1945..”

Stop dawdling Starmer, get us back in the SM, CU and at the EU’s table before it is too late.

America still needs Canadian oil. Here's why And why the tariffs on Canada could plausibly lead to America doing deals with considerably more shady countries. A dive into the weird and wonderful world of heavy oil

✍️Despite being the world's biggest oil producer, America is v reliant on Canadian oil. And getting MORE reliant, not less.
So what happens when tariffs get imposed on Canada?
The answers are quite unsettling, for the American people... and for everyone else edconway.substack.com/p/america-st...

The @Telegraph, @thetimes, @MailOnline & @TheSun publish corrections to their scaremongering on undocumented migrants in London.

Imagine between them the reach & power of these papers.
The fact is they are using that power to instil Trumpist hate & we are ill-equipped to resist.
