Mr. Orban, you are not a patriot. You are just a useful idiot of Russia and China.

‘Aren’t Arabs terrified? Don’t Arab and Iraqi women weep when their children die? What FOOLS we are to live in a generation for which war is a computer game.’

On this day in 1925, Tony Benn, a giant of the socialist movement in the UK was born. Remember his words as the US and Israel commit daily atrocities against the people of Iran.

[Antony Blinken @ABlinken]

(1/10) @realDonaldTrump cited me as supporting his attack on Iran and expressing regret we didn’t do it during the Biden Administration. Except I didn’t.

[Vincent Hogan @Vincent_Hogan]

Maybe the best compliment is that he made it look easy.

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

The overnight post from the President of the United States is nothing but vile, racist filth. He should be ashamed of himself, if he were capable of shame.

Taking it down is not enough. The White House must apologize for this beyond disgusting behavior.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

“Oh my god… I have no words.”

Listen to the emotional moment this year’s laureate Maria Corina Machado finds out she has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Kristian Berg Harpviken, Director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, shared the news with her directly before it was announced to the world.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.

18,500 children have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza.

Despite these war crimes, the US has provided more than $22 BILLION for the war.

Our taxpayer dollars are being used to starve children, bomb schools & gun down hungry people as they wait for aid.

Dyscalculia: difficulty in understanding numbers. Dysgraphia: difficulty converting the sounds of language into written form.
Dyspraxia: difficulty affecting physical co-ordination. Dyslexia: difficulty in learning to read or interpret words, letters and other symbols.

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

It was always predictable that the richest man in the world would fall out with the supposedly most powerful man in the world. But I didn’t think Musk’s break with President Trump would happen so fast, or be so excruciatingly embarrassing.

[Colm Flynn @colmflynnire]

Before he was Pope Leo XIV, Robert Prevost had heard about 16-year-old Donal Walsh who was dying of cancer in the west of Ireland. He was so impressed by Donal's deep that he wrote him a letter offering to make him an honorary Augustinian. And two days before he died, Donal was sworn in.
This is the story of a teenager whose courage and conviction inspired Ireland, and also a future Pope.

Paul Merton, "One of the plans is to have JD Vance run for President. He wins, and he makes Trump his Vice President. Then JD Vance resigns. And Donald Trump takes over as President for a third term"

Ian Hislop, "Which is exactly the method used by Putin to stay in"

"Not that I'm saying Trump copies, admires, and loves Putin"

'Aren't Arabs terrified? Don't Arab women weep when their children are bombed?'

Tony Benn was born 100 years ago today. He remains as relevant as ever.

Mick O'Dwyer's words to the Galway dressing room after losing the 1998 All-Ireland, as documented in 'A Year 'til Sunday'

A measure of the man.

RIP.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Trump and his American oligarchs are now openly aligning themselves with Putin and his Russian oligarchs.

This Putin-Trump alliance means abandoning our allies, supporting authoritarianism and undermining our democratic traditions.

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

Trump claims the USA has spent 3 x more than Europe on Ukraine.
FALSE
Europe has spent $20bn MORE than the US on Ukraine
Trump claims Zelensky has net popularity rating of 4%
FALSE
Z’s popularity is 50%
But the most dangerous lie is Trump’s claim that Putin can be trusted.🇺🇦
