Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one.
He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.
He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history.
We have nothing to hide.
Mr. President, come after me. I am not going anywhere.
The country is watching.
10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.
At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk
Ahem MAGA
Omg…. I just can’t…
Who to follow
In 1925, a schoolteacher in Germany read Adolf Hitler’s book.
Most people dismissed it.
Anna Essinger didn’t.
She understood that it wasn’t political rhetoric. It was a blueprint.
And if the people writing it ever gained power, the children in her care would never be safe again.
So she prepared.
Anna was a Jewish educator running a small progressive boarding school near Ulm. Her students called her “Tante Anna.” She believed children should be treated with dignity, taught to think freely, and protected fiercely.
When Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, she already had a plan.
On Hitler’s birthday, when schools were ordered to raise the Nazi flag, Anna took all her students on a camping trip. Then she returned alone and raised the swastika over an empty building.
“Atop a vacant building,” she said, “the symbol can neither convey its message nor inflict harm.”
Then she began quietly moving her entire school out of Germany.
Through Quaker contacts in England, she found an old crumbling manor house in Kent called Bunce Court. No money. No proper heating. Barely electricity.
But it was beyond Nazi reach.
She met parents in secret and asked them to do something unimaginable:
Trust her with their children. Possibly forever.
Almost all said yes.
In October 1933, 66 children boarded trains in separate groups across Germany. Parents were told not to cry at the stations. No scenes. No attention.
The children thought they were going on a school trip.
They crossed into Belgium, boarded a ferry, and arrived in England safely.
School resumed the next morning.
Over the years, Bunce Court became far more than a school. It became a refuge for Jewish children escaping Nazi Germany, Kindertransport arrivals carrying single suitcases, and orphaned survivors who had nowhere else left to go.
Students grew vegetables, converted stables into dorms, cooked meals together, and rebuilt broken lives together.
One Holocaust survivor later wrote that Anna Essinger restored his humanity.
By the time the school closed in 1948, she had saved and cared for more than 900 children.
Many of them spent the rest of their lives calling Bunce Court “Shangri-La.”
The only place they had ever truly felt safe.
Anna Essinger never commanded armies.
She never held office.
She never became famous.
She simply read a book carefully in 1925…
believed what it said…
and spent the next twenty years saving children from the future she saw coming.
Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.
Ukraine allows Putin’s May 9 parade to go ahead after Trump’s intervention and a promise to exchange 1,000 Ukrainian POWs. No prisoners have been freed, and Putin after his parade unleashed one of the biggest missile and drone barrages of the war. Here is a Kyiv high-rise where dozens were killed and injured last night, including children, and many more still remain under the rubble.
Obama on the Iran nuclear deal today:
“We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked. We didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”
$25 billion spent. 14 Americans dead.
Oil at $119 a barrel. The world has one month of strategic reserves left. A UAE oil port on fire. Ships turning back at gunpoint.
Trump called Obama’s deal the worst deal ever made.
Then tore it up.
Then started a war to get back to the same place.
APPLEBAUM: Russia's war in Ukraine is sometimes described, including recently by American Vice President, as if it were nothing more than territorial dispute, kind of scuffle over lines on map.
But when Russia denies that Ukraine is a real nation, builds concentration camps on Ukrainian territory, bans Ukrainian language and systematically arrests mayors, teachers, journalists, and priests, then Russia is also attacking Europe that was built after 1945, Europe whose borders are not supposed to be changed by force.
Russia invaded Ukraine not only to destroy Ukraine but also to prove that treaties are meaningless, alliances are weak, and brute force still decides fate of nations.
By waging imperial war of conquest, Russia seeks to undermine Europe's post-imperial order.
Trump’s plans to paint the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool … risks getting trapped in legal quicksand
Suit argues it’s illegal and affront to history

Virtually everyone everyone in the UK knows Brexit was a total disaster and an will remain a disaster for years to come.
Yet many people will vote today for the man who was behind Brexit Nigel Farage.
Why? Because they have been indoctrinated by the now totally corrupt UK mainstream media.
On this small, densely populated island we followed the wrong lead.
Time to rebuild real production support + reconnect to the European food & energy framework.
Food security is national security.
#FoodSecurityNow #HormuzCrisis #BrexitReality
🚨 “Food doesn’t grow in supermarkets – it grows on farms.”
I spoke to LBC about the looming UK food crisis. With fertiliser, diesel & energy shocks from the Middle East war hitting hard, years of relying on world markets and Brexit barriers have left Britain dangerously exposed.
No proper food production plan. Farmers ignored in Cobra meetings.
We’re not ready.

Trump, after having a 90 min phone call with Putin, puts out a truth social that he is considering withdrawing all troops from Germany. Something sinister is going on between them. It’s time for “concerned” Republicans to speak out
When Donald Trump heard Robert Mueller had died he posted “Good, I’m glad he’s dead”
When Donald Trump heard Robert Reiner had been brutally murdered along with his wife in his own home…
Trump said “I bet he died because he had Trump Derangement Syndrome”
When Donald Trump heard Paul Pelosi had been savagely attacked with a hammer, his skull fractured and almost died…
Trump got on stage, mocked the attack and everyone laughed.
Donald Trump accused 5 Congressional Democrats of Treason…
Trump said they should be “Put to Dearth”
Donald Trump accused his hand picked Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Mark Milley of treason…
Trump said General Milley should be executed.
Trump encouraged his followers to attack the Capitol on January 6th and overturn the election results.
His supporters attacked the Capitol, built a Gallow and looked to execute Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi.
Trump stood by for 186 Minutes and let the violence ensue.
Hundreds of Capitol Police Officers were injured.
4 Capitol Police Officers Died.
Trump has encouraged his supporters to “Knock the hell out of them” referencing protestors at his rallies.
Trump even stated he pay their legal fees.
This is the same motherfucker calling for the firing of Jimmy Kimmel because of a comedy skit.
The same motherfucker who just had James Comey arrested for posting a meme on Twitter.
If anyone needs to tone down the rhetoric.
It’s this piece of shit.
In case anyone isn’t aware, Trump is demanding Zambia to hand over its mineral rights by end of day tomorrow or the U.S. gov’t will cut off the country’s access to the AIDS medications that are literally keeping its citizens alive.
Just thought y’all should know.
In April 1945, a young British soldier walked across a field in Bavaria and handed a starving young woman a small parcel of food.
She was 21 years old. Her name was Lily Ebert. She had survived Auschwitz. Her mother and two younger sisters had been murdered in the gas chambers within hours of their arrival. She had endured a forced death march in the final weeks of the war and had collapsed in a field, close to death, when liberation came.
The soldier said nothing. But wrapped around the food was a German bank note — and written on it, in pencil, in English, were eleven words:
"A start to a new life. Good luck and happiness."
He walked away. She never saw him again. She never knew his name.
She kept the note.
Through refugee processing in Switzerland. On a boat to what would become the State of Israel. Across the ocean to England in the 1950s, where she settled, married, and built a life from almost nothing.
She raised three children in London. She had ten grandchildren. She had thirty-eight great-grandchildren.
Through all of it, the note stayed in a drawer in her bedroom. She showed it to her family every so often. She told them the story. For 75 years, no one had ever been able to identify the soldier or trace his handwriting.
Then came lockdown. And a 16-year-old great-grandson named Dov Forman.
In 2020, while the world went quiet, Dov began posting Lily's story on TikTok — short videos, filmed at the kitchen table, his great-grandmother speaking directly to the camera about Auschwitz, about survival, about what she had seen and lost and somehow outlived. Within months, she had two million followers. She wrote a memoir. She received the British Empire Medal. She became one of the most recognised Holocaust survivors in the world.
And in one video, Dov held up the old German bank note. He showed the handwriting to the camera. He asked — to no one in particular, to everyone at once — if anyone recognised it.
A British family watched the video. They recognised the handwriting immediately.
Their grandfather had been a young Jewish soldier serving with British forces in Germany in 1945. He had written those eleven words on a bank note before he left home, carrying it in his pocket as a small private act of hope — a message ready for whoever needed it most. He had given it to a young woman he encountered in a field in Bavaria and thought nothing more of it.
He had come home, raised a family, grown old, and died. He had never told his children the name of the young woman he had given the note to. He may never have known she survived.
His family contacted Dov. In 2021, on a video call, Lily Ebert — then 97 years old — met the grandchildren of the man who had once handed her the will to live.
They showed her photographs of him as a young soldier. They told her stories about who he had become. They cried together across the screen.
Lily said: "For 75 years, I held this note in my hand. I never knew who he was. Now I know. He was a kind young man. He thought of me before he ever met me. He wanted me to live. I have lived. I lived for him."
The two families became close in the final years of Lily's life.
Lily Ebert died in October 2024, at the age of 100.
The bank note is now on loan to the Imperial War Museum in London — considered one of the most significant small Holocaust artefacts in private hands.
A soldier wrote eleven words on a piece of paper, handed it to a stranger, and walked away.
A teenage boy with a phone refused to let his great-grandmother's story disappear.
And after 75 years, a single act of quiet human kindness finally found its way home.
Donald Trump cut in front of Queen Camilla and King Charles to greet officials from his administration.
And this is who tens of millions voted for. What an embarrassment.
I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?
Twenty seven government agencies and counting.
When a Palantir exec‑turned‑whistleblower tells us that the company intends on taking over the U.S. government, maybe we should believe him?
