I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

RT if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Known today as compression lift, the idea of the XB-70's folding wingtips, was to use the shock waves generated by its own supersonic flight to generate lift.

This clip shows what the Valkyrie could have been.

'The evidence proves that the West's current strategy – arming Ukraine, imposing sanctions, hardening critical infrastructure – is fracturing Russia's military, economic and political cohesion' write William Dixon and Maksym Beznosiuk.

The world-famous Christmas carol – amidst concrete, metal, and destroyed equipment. Deeply moving.

The Ukrainian choir sang "Shchedryk" in the engine room of the DTEK power plant, destroyed by Russian attacks.

It's enough to bring tears to your eyes.

🚨NEW: Donald Trump has installed a plaque with racist messaging under President Obama's official photograph in the White House. This comes after he earlier removed President Obama's official portrait from the White House.

RETWEET if you stand with President Obama against Trump!

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Trump is coming after our BBC. He’s suing it for $10 billion, and the Conservatives and Reform are cheering him on.

The BBC must not pay Trump a penny. Instead of rolling over, it should sue Trump back for the lies he’s telling about it.

EXCL: An agreement to rejoin Erasmus – the EU’s student exchange programme – set to be announced on Wednesday as part of UK government’s drive towards closer relations with Brussels.

The BBC has its flaws but it remains a great cherished national institution. Shame on Tice, Kruger and the Reform leadership that they side with Trump and his absurd lawsuit against the BBC. Reform is literally traitorous - today’s insidious incarnation of Lord Haw-Haw

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

It is a national scandal.

I’m asking Parliament to give us the powers to regulate children’s care providers properly — and impose a profit cap if needed.

Part of Labour's landmark bill, the biggest piece of child protection legislation in a generation.

In 1960, a quiet, meticulous FDA medical officer named Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey stopped the drug thalidomide from entering the U.S. market.

She refused to be pressured by pharmaceutical executives.

The drug was supposed to ease morning sickness in pregnant women.

While thousands of babies in Europe were born with catastrophic birth defects, the United States was spared a similar tragedy almost entirely because one woman refused to sign a form.

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy awarded her the President's Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service.

When we had the guts to say no. She didn’t get social media ostracized she won a presidential award for steel determination and human ethics.

Amazing anecdote from David Mamet about Tom Stoppard in @TheFP:

"Steven Spielberg asked Tom to write the screenplay for Jaws, and Tom said he couldn’t as he was writing a play for the BBC. Spielberg said, 'I'm offering you a fortune to collaborate with me on a Hollywood blockbuster, and you turn me down to write a play for BBC TV?"

"No," Tom said, "BBC Radio."

I have a pupil in my class (Year 6) who did this in about ten minutes. She's massively talented. Some ideas about how to help her move forward would be very much appreciated. Art isn't really my speciality.

I feel sorry for these players Welsh boys commentating how hard that is to do when the scoreboard looks so bad I’ve been there as well and it’s so easy to be negative

If MAGA Gives Away Ukrainian Territory, America’s Global Security System Collapses

If the United States recognises Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory, the consequences will spread far beyond Europe. It will trigger a chain reaction that collapses the entire security architecture America has relied on for decades.

Europe will respond with force.
Recognising Russian land grabs destroys the principle that borders cannot be changed by conquest. Europe will move militarily into eastern Ukraine to stop further Russian expansion. NATO unity will fracture because the United States would be the one who broke the foundation it created.

China will act in the Pacific.
Beijing will see the collapse of US resolve as the moment to break American containment. China will push into the First Island Chain and challenge US positions near Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines. The Pacific will no longer be a buffer. It becomes a direct strategic route toward the US mainland.

North Korea will exploit the weakness.
Pyongyang will immediately pressure or attack South Korea, knowing the United States cannot project strength on two fronts at once. America will either be drawn into a major Asian conflict or forced into withdrawal, ending its credibility in the region.

Japan and South Korea will lose faith in the US.
Both nations rely on American protection. If Washington abandons Ukraine under pressure from a political faction, they will no longer consider the US a stable ally. This would shift the balance of power in East Asia overnight.

Taiwan becomes indefensible.
With credibility broken, deterrence collapses. China will move on Taiwan, and the US will face a choice between an enormous war or abandoning another democratic partner.

The Middle East will shift away from the US.
All states dependent on American stability Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jordan, the Gulf states will reassess their alliances. They will turn toward China and Russia because they will no longer trust US guarantees.

All of this begins with a single decision: legitimising Russia’s territorial conquest.

And it is driven by a tiny group around Trump.
A small circle with strong pro Russia sympathies and personal interests tied to Russian energy assets. They are not the Republican Party. They are not normal America. But they have the president’s ear and they do not understand the global chain reaction their actions would ignite.

This is not about ideology.
It is about the destruction of US credibility.

Giving away Ukrainian territory does not end a war. It starts a global one.

[John Devereux @DevereuxJohn13]

It’s a sad sad day to see my country suffering in Cardiff, I feel sorry for these players, this game should never ever have been arranged, Scotland had it right play a few lesser nations to get the team confidence back. What do we do play at least 3 top 5 teams in the world 🙈

Wales 0 South Africa 73 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇿🇦

Not one welsh player deserves to be criticised after that game imo.

Light years apart in standards and ability. It was a no contest as we all expected.

The WRU on the other hand for arranging this fixture.

Shame On You.

Rock Bottom. 😪
