From now on, any interview with him that doesn’t end like this should shame the interviewer for ever. And yet because he & his backers have corrupted so much of the media, it takes proper courage to do it.

Relieved that no serious injuries have been reported after the devastating fire in Glasgow. My thanks to the emergency services and partners for their hard work overnight. We will support Glasgow’s recovery and work to get the city centre up and running as quickly as possible.

The weekly live propaganda broadcast from Farage carried simultaneously on both the BBC and Sky. What other party would they give this airtime to, to simply announce Farage’s team? How many speeches has Zack Polanski made in the last week? Not one was carried live. #BrokenMedia

If Britain is broken (as former Tory MPs who have now fled to Reform keep saying), it begs a question: Who broke it? Perhaps the list of suspects could include those who were in government from 2010 to 2024?

Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973. During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem “I Am Somebody,” a message focused on self-worth and empowerment The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.

A handful in Reform are worth nearly £12 billion. Capitalism in its current form is a zero sum game—So if Billionaires are winning, the working classes are losing—a system that extracts at all levels! That's partly why the US has so much poverty & homelessness as well as most people in prisons.

Just a reminder that TWO MONTHS have now gone by since the deadline for releasing ALL of the Epstein files. Trump's corrupt DOJ has released less than half, and those that were released were illegally redacted to protect pedophiles and their enablers. (Victims names and images were exposed.)

We've been on the Northern Line. The idea that it's 2000 years old seems completely reasonable.
A screen snip. At the top is a sentence pointing out that the Northern Line tube line closely follows the route of the Roman Road, Stane Street. Beneath are two maps, on the left Stane street is shown with settlements including Morden, Tooting, Clapham and Kennington marked. On the right is another map with the modern northern line shown. All of the settlements on the stane street map are duplicated on the tube map.
