A white supremacist band from South Africa, The SoapGirls, is playing a show Aug 26 in Chicago at the Liars Club. Their songs celebrate violence against Black folks and spread lies about so-called Black-on-white violence. 1/2
Lyrics from the SoapGirls song Black Mass: "Get ready savager are coming around, it's a black plague, savages are coming around..." it goes on like this. It's a bunch of racist bullshit.X post from the SoapGirls from December 13, 2020 that states "Absolutely disgusting don't let America become like Africa @realdonaldtrump should put laws to stop these terrorists called #antifaThe SoapGirls are also fans of Qanon conspirarcy theory according to a post on X from January 19, 2021.

Russia’s ability to sign up/press gang new bodies to fill uniforms continues to lag Ukraine’s ability to subtract those troops from the front. Historians will not be kind to Putin. Not so much Icarus flying too close to the sun, but more a clown shooting himself out of a canon into a brick wall.

I should thank the Mail and 30p Lee for bringing my attention to James O'Brien's description of Farage. Refuk, the self-styled champions of 'free speech', 'banter' and 'hurty words' are calling it 'hate speech'. I guess it means no Lucy Connolly style hero's welcome for him at their conference...

Just to recap: Calling Nigel Farage “an unflushable poo” = dehumanising hate speech. Calling for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire = guest of honour at party conference. Bless those non-racist free speech warriors.

Definitely the best way to keep Iran from charging a toll on the Strait of Hormuz is for the USA (illegally) to start charging a toll itself. This is real hyper-brilliance on the downslope of American decline.

One of the lessons of the last two years is that Labour urgently needs to stop being afraid of its own shadow. Burnham should appoint whoever he thinks would be the best Chancellor and throw his authority behind them. The Daily Mail will try to kill them anyway. So just govern.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 25/06/2026
As we have experienced this week, extreme temperatures are no longer a future threat. They are a present danger. Today, I’m launching London’s first ever heat plan: a city-wide plan to adapt our capital, protect communities, and build a climate-resilient city.
Silhouette of Big Ben and surrounding London skyline at sunset, with a bright sun glowing behind the clock tower and casting a warm orange glow across the sky. Below, on an orange background, bold black text reads: “Get heat-ready, London.” Smaller text reads: “Heat Ready London will protect Londoners from hotter temperatures and help us build a more resilient city.” The Mayor of London logo appears in the bottom right corner.
