It would take a heart of stone.
I mean, there's a *word* for it...
Alan Rankin was taking the piss
Party fears Two!! #totp
Why are they in the dark? Were the lighting technicians on strike again? #totp
Farage is very clearly a borderline, if not actual, alcoholic. Physically, I doubt he’d last a year as PM.
You know you're in trouble when George W Bush's middle east strategy people start saying your middle east strategy sucks.
Tweet by Aaron Rupar quoting Palantir CEO Alex Karp saying what makes America special right now is its lethal capabilities and ability to fight war. The image shows Karp speaking during a live CNBC interview about AI strategy.
I thought it was our founding principles, our diversity, our adherence to the rule of law and our love of freedom but okay…
“I lost my job after harassing a complete stranger in the street because he’s Jewish”
What sort of monster would do such a thing?
This is another insane violation of the Emoluments Clause.
This man is an evil psychopath.
Change the names of the countries and these could be the ravings of any of the worst butchers and tyrants of modern history
Europe should have the bare minimum of dealings with him and his corrupt cabal necessary and be proud to disassociate itself from his regime.

“The death penalty is both unavoidably flawed and unworthy of a decent society,” the editorial board writes. As long as it exists, it will “be used against people who are poor, mentally disabled or otherwise vulnerable.”
We need to acknowledge role played by Biden, Sullivan, Scholz and the gang for letting me hang on long enough for Donald to rescue me.
History will be kind to them.
Germany's biggest utility plans to build a "5 GW pipeline of gas-fired power plant projects in the United States," a move "mainly driven by big tech firms, so-called hyperscalers, which are planning to spend $600 billion this year on artificial intelligence"

I've always thought – and still think – Starmer is as straight/ethical as they come. I don't think he's wired to act unethically.
But he may be naive/too trusting. And he's rubbish at politics, presentation, comms or any sense of how things are being received by the watcher/listener.
Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.
They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.
That energy is all around us. It does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz or any other geopolitical chokepoint.
They're bad at messaging this because stuff blowing up gets them so hard they can't fathom how anyone could have any questions left after seeing footage of it.
Like a broke dad who leases a $300k Ferrari and doesn't understand why the kids keep asking how he'll pay for it despite hearing it rev.
What a coincidence
Widening divergence in threat perception between the EU/UK and US
"A badger? Sure. A hedgehog? Okay, why not. But an otter? NEVER."
Our President is a child raping war criminal.

Dunblane. 30 years ago today. Never forget.
I wrote before the war that Iran’s best strategy was to somehow survive the initial strikes and call Trump’s bluff.
That’s what happened.
Now Trump is stuck: he must either put boots on the ground or make major concessions to end the Strait of Hormuz blockade
If it wasn’t such a dire situation, Trump is laughable. When he opens his mouth it’s outright bullshit. At this point the world assumes (correctly) everything he says is a lie.
Those little girls didn't stand a chance!
Terry Pratchett in a blue jacket and Akubra hat holding a young owl for release.
Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️
