A sad, lonely woman jilted by her brash lover is left to wile away the empty hours in an isolated flat in Dubai. After consuming yet another vodka her mind wanders & she types out far fetched fantasies desperately seeking attention & solace. Please could someone call a doctor.😬

It never stops being important that, no matter what the subject, politicians like Farage, Trump & Rubio are entirely untethered from the most basic requirements of honest discourse. They might turn out to be telling the truth sometimes but only ever in the spirit of stopped clocks.

I don’t suppose all the objections in the red-top UK Media to Johannes being a presenter on Strictly could possibly have anything to do with: 1. his skin colour 2. his sexual orientation 🙄

Surely he has to resign again to let the people of Clacton prejudge the resukt of the police investigation? It’s much more serious than the investigation he resigned over last time…

Despite the relentless lobbying from right wing policy "think tanks" *i.e. lobbyists for corporate backers" for insurance based models. No publlc appetite or mandate for this change or acknowlegement that several countries also have tax funded systems

However deeply unpleasant they might be, #Trump nevertheless left many colleagues - and many innocent people - to their potential deaths, whilst he was concerned only with his own ass. Trump first, anyone else nowhere. What a truly disgusting specimen of humanity! 🤮 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Despite all the accusations of crimes and cover-ups, the Trump admin has never actually prosecuted or jailed anyone. The supposed stolen 2020 election, Jan 6 deep state, Dr Fauci, etc. All of its is just theater for the base, revving them up. In the end, will undermine faith in gov and institutions.

I think if you’re the CEO of an extremely politically exposed firm in the public eye and you agree to take this kind of pay increase at this moment, you’re essentially demonstrating that you are not up to the job.

The shamelessness of a political party which is led by a man who just weeks ago called for "pure cold rage" on the streets, shortly before migrants were literally burnt out of their homes, now accusing their opponents of "stochastic terrorism" against them, is quite something

Reform's Zia Yusuf had claimed the state was "providing no protection whatsoever" to the party's MPs. In fact, Nigel Farage had been offered a package that would have given him the same level of protection as Kemi Badenoch - but he turned it down.

This is why cities need trees. Hard surfaces and parked cars can reach extreme temperatures, while shaded grass and tree-covered areas stay dramatically cooler. This is the urban heat island effect in one image: hard surfaces absorb and radiate heat, while vegetation and shade reduce it.
