Career breaking, young son caring, left leaning centrist pro-EU & anti-populist. Gleefully anticipating Trump in dock and Johnson’s hook slung.

Epstein was arrested on July 6, 2019. I was at the SDNY press conference the DA said the sting was so secretive not even other FBI agents knew about it. 1700 photographs of underage models were taken from the walls of his mansion and terabytes of video! WHERE IS IT?

The investigation was shut down ONE WEEK LATER.

Trump's Latest Self-Own Is So Stupid It Should Be Studied in Clown Colleges

Remember when I warned y'all that DISCOVERY was the one thing Trump feared most from Jack Smith? Well, the orange imbecile just handed the keys to the kingdom to the BBC like the blithering moron he is.

In an act of pure, unfiltered hubris, Trump filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation over how they edited his January 6 speech. Now, the BBC has responded by dropping a nuclear discovery bomb in Florida court, demanding Trump hand over his telephone logs, calendars, schedules, diaries, and communications with everyone involved in planning the "Stop the Steal" rally and the events of January 6.

That's right — from November 3, 2020, through January 20, 2021. The exact 'coup plot' period that could bury him.

The BBC isn't playing games. They want everything. Who he talked to. When he talked to them. What was said about the rally, the speech, and the riot that followed. This is the legal equivalent of forcing Trump to open every closet, every safe, and every burner phone from the coup attempt era.

Trump's incompetent lawyers are crying foul, whining that the BBC is trying to "put the president on trial for the riot." No shit, Sherlock. That's what happens when you sue a major news outlet over January 6 coverage — they get to dig into the very evidence that could prove you incited an insurrection.

This is peak Trump: a man so thin-skinned and vengeful that he sues the BBC for $10 billion and accidentally sets himself up for the most devastating document dump of his life. The same guy who dodged accountability for years just voluntarily walked into a legal meat grinder because his ego couldn't handle a news report.

This isn't just a lawsuit. It's self-sabotage on a historic scale — the kind of boneheaded, narcissistic move that could finally expose the full scope of what happened on January 6.

Trump didn't just shoot himself in the foot. He loaded the shotgun, aimed it at his own head, and pulled the trigger while screaming about how unfairly treated he is.

Pathetic. Predictable. And long overdue. The discovery process is coming, Donald. Try not to shit your diaper when it does.

He talks about “TDS” but he has “ODS”.

Barack Obama lives rent free in Donald Trump’s clouded, decompensating, rotting brain.

He cannot stop because he knows that Obama is everything he is not.
Liked.
Respected.
Accomplished.
He’s an articulate, charming, good looking man who is beloved by a nation.
He leaves behind a legacy of success.

Trump is a fat, stupid, unpopular sloth who leaves behind nothing but destruction.

"Doctors and nurses wore “From the river to the sea” protest symbols to work and covered hospital toilet stalls and corridors with stickers that included a Star of David with a red line drawn through it. At The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, which has received tens of millions of dollars from Jewish philanthropists, such stickers were stuck to the bedside wall of an elderly Jewish patient in the hours before he died."
Horrific details in this urgent piece from Megan Goldin.

On this day in 1980, Joy Division released "Love Will Tear Us Apart." Issued just a month after Ian Curtis' death, it became one of the defining songs of the post-punk era.

1/ This is a very poor interview, but let's consider what a journalist ought to have said to properly scrutinise this proposed law.

First at 00:15 the minister says it's important to get a diversity of views but "then we're gonna crack on and legislate"

To everyone who's upset that trump's name was removed from the Kennedy center i would like to point out that you can find his name mentioned more than 30 thousand times in the epstein files 👍

Federico García Lorca

Poet and playwright.

He lived under Spain's dictatorship.

His courage cost him his life.

He was shot in the head and buried in an unmarked mass grave.

But his voice endured.

So did his love of freedom.

So did the passion that runs through every page he wrote.

What follows is a passage from a remarkable speech he gave at the opening of a library in the village where he was born.

It reveals his profound belief in culture—

and, above all,

literature.

I’m increasingly convinced that the publication of the conversion practices bill at this stage, in this form, and with no apparent thought to the implications, is intended to bounce Burnham into committing to it by taking advantage of the current power vacuum.

Important ruling in favour of the Sunday Times from IPSO. We in the press are quite rightly free to call a man a man (or indeed a bloke) even if he wants us to pretend to our readers that he is a woman. Anything else would be a travesty for the freedom of the press.

“The words male and female have a very well established meaning in language. And allowing personal feelings and preferences to distort language is, I think, reprehensible.”

A real long shot but can people retweet this please.

Yesterday all my items were stolen in Eastbourne including my stats book which has 20 years worth of details in. Laptops, phones, clothes, shavers etc can all be replaced but this can’t and is useless to anyone else. It’s in a plastic folder you can see in the left hand side of this photo. Can anyone in that neck of the woods please keep an eye out. I’m gutted about this.
