@ElliotElinor Here’s how I see it: we’ve witnessed ignorance and self-interest triumph and a massive shift to the right. It’s not our fault. We tried to stop it and will hold firm to our core beliefs, while enjoying the joys and benefits we have and sharing where we can.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
BREAKING:
Sir Keir Starmer has made clear to allies that he will stand and fight if Wes Streeting succeeds in triggering a leadership contest
The prime minister has spent the afternoon meeting ministers and Labour MPs in Parliament as he attempts to see off a potential leadership challenge
Loyal cabinet ministers have also been working the tearooms urging colleagues not to "plunge the party into chaos"
They have been warning that a leadership election would paralyse the government for months
Starmer's allies are convinced that Streeting will fail to get the 81 MPs he needs to mount a formal challenge. But if he does, the message is that he will fight
@4originalintent@SL_Grib@NiallHarbison Goodness me! If you believe that, you’ll believe anything. No wonder so many in the US are in the grip of conspiracy theories; the level of gullibility is stratospheric.
@SW_Help@MannGeorgia You didn’t answer the question. @MannGeorgia asked what measures you are taking. What measures are you taking to protect your passengers from anti-social behaviour?
It’s important that you understand what happened last night.
Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.
In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.
CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”
In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.
But censorship always backfires.
Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.
BREAKING: Music legend Bruce Springsteen just released this incredible song that will be sure to piss Trump off beyond belief.
“Streets of Minneapolis”.
He wrote this song about Alex Pretti and Renée Good Saturday and recorded it yesterday.
Share it far and wide and play it as loud as you can
@MichaelBerkele2@BBCRadio3 Well I think it’s the first time EVER I’ve heard part of Gounod’s St Cecilia Mass on R3, and I’m always asking for it to be played! Thank you.
