Is there any way we can revoke Jim Radcliffe's citizenship? After all he doesn't live here and doesn't pay taxes here. Perhaps we should be more like the US and make it a requirement of UK passport holders that they pay tax in the UK.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it. Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

So Starmer says he has held off signing up to the 'Board of Peace' because of concerns over the invitation to Putin. From that are we to infer that he is cool with the idea of Netanyahu, Orban, Milei and all the other assorted despots, extremists and autocrats who have signed up?

It's taken him 25 years, but Tony Blair has finally found a way to make people even more disgusted with him than they already were for his starting of an illegal war that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Quite an achievement

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

At this time, absolutely nothing is known about the perpetrator of the dreadful attack in Manchester or their motives. This doesn’t stop Sheila Fogarty @lbc.co.uk immediately pinning the blame on people protesting about a genocide rather than those actually perpetrating it. Filthy gutter journalism.

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it. Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22
