Bird netting is used to exclude birds from buildings, but it traps and harms them.

Two months ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay £3bn a year more for US drugs. The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs. Now we are getting 15% tariffs on everything. The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.
Screenshot of an X post from FactPost (@factpostnews) with the headline “US citizens detained by ICE speak out,” followed by a quoted account describing being dragged outside, put in a headlock, repeatedly saying “I’m a citizen. I have an ID,” and an agent responding “That don’t matter,” plus hearing wailing and crying from detainees and banter and laughter from federal agents. Below the text is a split-screen TV news image: on the left, a heavily armored officer in a helmet and gas mask with the caption “MINNEAPOLIS ON EDGE,” and on the right, a blonde female news anchor in a white blazer in a studio. A lower banner reads “CHRIS JANSING REPORTS,” with an MSNBC-style logo and a “LIVE” timestamp.

Demented and Dangerous Trump tells Norway Prime Minister: "The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland." He no longer feels "an obligation to think purely of Peace" after Norway "decided not to give" him the Nobel Peace Prize. He is the biggest danger to peace.

Trump's attack on Venezuela will create global instability. Will prolong the Ukraine war. How could the US condemn and sanction Russia? Encourage Putin to kidnap Zelensky. Encourage China to takeover Taiwan. What is the point of the UN if rogue powers can do whatever they want?

US puts £31bn tech ‘prosperity deal’ with Britain on ice. Trump doesn't honour agreements. It's about dominance. Demands that UK ends digital services tax on US tech companies and it's food safety rules which bar certain US agricultural products. Say NO to Trump slavery. Better off joining the EU

His latest rant about the BBC is surely grounds for them to counter-sue for libel & reputational damage? He is claiming they “put words in his mouth which were never said” and that they “must have used AI” both of these claims are provable untruths - they edited footage of his ACTUAL speech
