A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know…
It has not “peeked” your interest.
Nor has it “peaked” your interest.
…It has piqued your interest.
You are not “phased” by something.
You are fazed by it.
If you’ve had a long day, you are weary.
If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary.
It is “due course”, not “do course”.
“Per se”, not “per say”.
And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost.
Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping.
This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙
New Reform councillors off to a great start by refusing to vote on anything because they haven't a clue what anything means, how anything works or what the fuck they are doing. Vote Reform, get lazy, incompetent, ignorant morons.
The tide is turning – if not against Palantir entirely, then against the presumption that there’s no alternative to them.
The British people are saying no, and it’s working. Say no to Palantir in the NHS here: https://t.co/4G724CElC9
Hannah Spencer used her very first PMQ to ask a crucial question about MPs drinking cheap, subsidised alcohol before voting on child poverty, housing, the climate crisis and disabled people’s rights.
She rightly called out the double standard, you’d be sacked in the real world for turning up smelling of booze.
Instead of a straight answer, PM dodged it with Westminster deflection and a cheap quip. Disgusting.
This isn’t a members’ club. #PMQs
As Health Secretary, Wes Streeting deepened the privatisation of our NHS and handed over our data to Palantir, a company involved in genocide.
I am sure his friend Peter Mandelson is very proud.
Time to reinstate our NHS as a fully public service — and kick Palantir out!
This is the repugnant character of a man who has spent his entire life expecting others to clean up his mess. A person completely incapable of taking responsibility—even for the smallest gesture.
This is precisely what makes him so dangerous and unsuitable as president: Someone who treats everything like dirt and expects his subordinates to clean up after him will treat a country the same way. Without respect, without a sense of responsibility, without any consideration for those who will come after him.
This is not the kind of character one wishes upon the president of the United States. This is the character of a spoiled, ruthless egomaniac.
Thomas Massie just went nuclear on Trump’s war in Iran.
“Have we learned nothing from the wars … we sparked in the Middle East that racked up $8 trillion of debt in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan?”
“The Secretary of State said that Israel forced … us into this war.”
“And for what?”
“The Constitution is clear.”
“Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 … provides Congress initiatory powers of war.”
“The 1973 War Powers Resolution states plainly that the President may only introduce US armed forces into hostilities pursuant to three conditions.”
“One, declaration of war.”
“Two, specific statutory authorization.”
“Or three, a national emergency created by an attack.”
“None of those conditions exist today.”
“American families in my district wanna know how this is gonna help them pay for groceries.”
“How does this make them any safer in their schools or in their neighborhoods?”
“How does this help them pay for housing?”
“A sustained war with Iran will not stabilize the region.”
“It’s already ignited the region.”
“It will radicalize new generations of terrorists.”
“And it will send more swarms of refugees into Europe and the United States.”
“We’ve already expended billions of dollars and, more solemnly, six American families must now lay to rest their sons and daughters.”
“To the men and women who are engaged in combat, I sincerely thank you and I pray for your safety.”
“It is for you that I wrote this resolution.”
“It is for you that all of us are here on this floor working so hard to force this vote so that you will have a clear mission .. so that you will know when you achieve it, you can come home.”

🚨 BREAKING: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer refuses to send British troops into Iran, saying he “will not commit our military personnel to unlawful action.”
Translation: Britain won’t rubber-stamp a war without legal grounding.
The UK is showing more respect for the rules-based international system than the United States right now.
That should bother every American.
