So it is a war. Until it isn’t.

Part time MP finally discovers the reality of elections. He conveniently forgets to mention all those “expats” who supported Brexit and now Reform whilst living in Spain for the last 25 years also have retained the right to vote.

Morrissey. On a tractor. Playing bongos to a herd of cows. #totp #wtf

Is this what passes for “journalism” these days at the Independent? Sub-Buzzfeed level shite

I mean, maybe I’m being picky but, if the site has 10 x permitted radiation levels, maybe it’s a site that mishandles nuclear waste ?

Just 2 years late coming to the conclusion and, by amazing coincidence, at exactly the same time as Trump. Meaningless, vacuous statements from these ghouls

Spent a good 10 mins afterwards trying to convince kids to give LAGWAFIS a spin, to no avail. Apparently needed Jay-Z to talk soullessly over the top for them to give it a chance.

Trump’s tax bill ‘vote-a-rama’ continues; Florida governor claims ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ will make immigrants ‘self-deport’ – live Marathon vote on ‘one big, beautiful bill’ passes 24-hour mark as Trump joins Ron DeSantis at detention center in mosquito-infested Everglades

Watching this from afar, but can’t help wondering what’s the difference between this and Truss’s spectacular crashing of the UK economy? Only it will have an extra zero on the cost to the US population.

Excellent. So US will prosecute those who spread lies and mistruths. Trump is going to need a bigger and better lawyer than Mr Four Seasons Landscaping.

I can assure you there is no celebration here in France on 8th May or November 11th ( both national holidays) but much reflection. A complete twunt

Maybe he’s just witnessed a lot of Roman salutes since he arrived to speak at a conference organised by a fascist.

Waking up tomorrow morning and checking the news is going to be something quite special. I can’t even begin to write a bingo card wild enough to cover all the options here.

The irony that Trump, his government, and MAGA in general are the ones who are most in need of these
