"The 80-year-old President just tends to say whatever pops into his head at any given moment, and whatever seems like a good idea at the time…Trump is so volatile that his words no longer carry the weight that they once did, and certainly not the weight that his office implies."

London's homicide rate hit its lowest level since records began. Yet 40% of the public thought that murders had risen since 2019. That’s the danger of disinformation. We cannot accept it, and to defeat it, we’ve got to put pressure on the social media companies who profit from it.

Coyote vs Acme is the best film I’ve seen all summer. An absurd masterpiece, a loving tribute to absurdism, hysterically funny, a worthy heir to its Looney Tune forefathers and to Roger Rabbit, and a sledgehammer “fuck you” to the very corporate fuckery that almost killed it. GO SEE THIS MOVIE.

Andy Burnham correctly points out in an interview that small boat crossings are massively down this year compared with last. The comments in the post are filled with people suggesting he is lying about this very clear, data-evidenced fact. It’s almost as though they don’t want it to he true…

Nigel Farage’s 'Pro-Sleaze' By-Election Is A Sign Of Terminal Weakness
The Reform leader's desperate decision to call a back-me-or-sack-me by-election is a sign of a politician who knows he is finally being exposed for the man he really is, argues Adam Bienkov

The Clacton by election is proper, old fashioned and very British farce. It's like a classic Ealing Comedy. And it's made all the funnier by the humourless po faced response from the Reform lot who are utterly devoid of a sense of humour. Look at this from one man joy zapper Lee Anderson.
So the political establishment and
media have consistently labelled
Nigel as being a divisive out of touch
figure. They play every card possible to
assassinate his character and that of
everyone involved with Reform UK. You
can feel the hatred with the House of
Commons towards not just Nigel but all
Reform UK MPs. That does not bother
us one bit as we know millions of
people in the real world support us and
what we stand for. The establishment
are bullies that attack and attack
but when the tables are turned they
run away. Nigel has thrown down the
gauntlet and told the other parties that
he will meet them at the ballot box and
every one of them has bottled it. We
see you for the cowards you are. We
are coming for all of you at every single
ballot box in the country. Reform UK
are the last hope to save our country
from you treacherous cowards

It is *incredibly* shabby that the Green Party cited "family and personal reasons" for their Makerfield candidate dropping out, given it was actually in relation to sharing antisemitic posts. Had a right-wing party done the same, they'd be getting called out loudly here for it. And rightly so.
A series of posts detailing reporting from The Times on the Green candidate sharing posts calling antisemitic attacks in London a "false flag".

You can't blame anyone else for the "loss of British culture" when you don't listen to British music created this millennium, don't go to gigs, don't watch British films, don't support arts funding, don't order eels when you have a takeaway and insist you don't watch the BBC.
