The finest take down of the institution of monarchy and "class" and the grasping, greedy, venal, entitled, and very stupid people it enables that you will read today or any day.

A really good read, which is only surprising in the scale and extent of their “grifting” and immorality.
It beggars belief, that some people can't see through this charade. The RF are an industry protecting themselves with good PR, hopefully for not much longer.
Duchy of Cornwall no better, under Charles families were evicted from farms simply because there were no male children to take the farm over when the father died. Some archaic Duchy rule that females could not inherit the farm.
And Saint William still allows this to go on.
Meanwhile, the real level of the King's commitment to the environment is revealed.
Everything about hereditary monarchy is fraudulent. It *is* a perpetual fraud.

It is quite a body of work they have. One scandal you might overlook, two scandals is already raising red flags. But to see 20-30 of them all laid out neatly, knowing a regular person would have ended up in jail many times over..
They lived a life of impunity and you gotta ask: whose fault is that?
Reading what Andrew and Sarah did, set out so dispassionately, has broken my brain. Make these people the outcasts and pariahs they so deserve to be.
They are scum. Sadly, the UK public funded, supported & enabled them.
The Royal family needs to be ditched &, as applicable, prosecuted & imprisoned.
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
Hi Bear, please push this.
Leg’ends,
Please take five minutes today to send this complaint to Ofcom and copy in your local MP.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.
It's a war I cannot explain.
A war that I deny is a war at all.
A war that justifies the peace prize FIFA made up for me.
A war that I have already won, but which will keep going indefinitely.
And my strategy?
Message the enemy on social media and ask them to stop being mean.
It’s not like mining will change the amount of traffic through Hormuz, which will go from zero to zero, but it immediately makes the fallout global and irreversible, by ensuring that traffic remains zero for the foreseeable future. Which is why it’s odd it’s getting only moderate press attention
Yes she is admirable. But fgs, don't. We should be shaming these law makers!
They know the laws designed to protect victims are not enforced in full by E&W Courts: in criminal, civil, or family cases
Assaulted/abused victims struggle to be heard/seen -family cts expressly ignore yrs of DA, FA & EA
4 days ago, NPR reported that the Trump administration is still withholding, in violation of the Epstein files statutes, 37 pages of documents that implicate him in the rape of a child. This should end his presidency. www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n...
It is true that there is a lot of popular sentiment about this, but it is insane and made up.
Can anyone explain to me what the Blue Labour justification for this is? Who out there will vote Labour because Mahmood prevented a Sudanese Chevening Scholar? And to be honest, why won’t the PM simply overrule her?
Why do victims always have to be brave? We are always ignored - rape, sexual assault, domestic abuse, financial abuse, economic abuse, abuse as children, too.
Not 1 law designed to protect us is applied in full. Attacked - Police & courts treat us like scum. Family courts ignore DA, FA & EA.
Britain’s entire rightwing political classes being dragged around by whatever nonsense happens to have appeared on Trump’s Truth Social account in the past fifteen minutes is something to behold
It's particularly upsetting as a rape survivor to see my suffering weaponised to justify these authoritarian measures. Measures which won't do anything to end sexual violence, but which will put individual liberty at greater risk from the state.
This administration……🤦♂️

Right: Nigel Farage says he never said he would cut taxes
“We can take them at their word,” Steve Witkoff told CNBC regarding the Russian claim that Moscow is not sharing intel with Iran.

You read the fine promises in the Government's VAWG strategy - and then you listen to this.
"I can’t believe what you say, because I see what you do," as James Baldwin noted.
1. This is crazy.
Charlotte is so brave here.
As I said earlier: it's very upsetting as a rape survivor to see my suffering weaponised to justify these authoritarian measures. Measures which won't do anything to end sexual violence, but risk great injustice – mostly to cut costs.
Jennifer Jacobs @JenniferJJacobs NEWS via @CBSNews : U.S. intelligence assets have begun to see indications Iran is taking steps to deploy mines in Strait of Hormuz shipping lane. Iran is using smaller crafts that can carry 2 to 3 mines each. While Iran’s mine stock isn’t publicly known, estimates over the years have ranged from roughly 2,000 to 6,000 naval mines of Iranian, Chinese and Russian-made variants, @JimLaPorta reports 2:13 PM · Mar 10, 2026 · 6,060 Views

'Across all OECD countries, single homeowners who have just lost their jobs retain 55% of their previous in-work incomes on average, falling to 22% if they are still unemployed after five years. In the UK, the “replacement rate” is just 12 per cent in both cases.' 👀 @sarahoconnorft.ft.com
