[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

A sitting US president just publicly called the resignation of an allied prime minister, hours before that prime minister is expected to name the date himself. Trump did not leak it. He posted it.

Where it actually stands tonight. Keir Starmer has not resigned. He is at Chequers with his family, still insisting "I will run, I will stand." But the floor is gone. More than 95 of his own MPs have called for him to go. His health secretary quit. His defence secretary quit. A senior figure in his own party says he has "absolutely no authority" left. And on Thursday Andy Burnham, the Manchester mayor, won a seat in parliament with 55% of the vote, is sworn in as an MP Monday, and is openly circling the job.

Now the strangest fact in British politics tonight, the one nobody is saying. Net migration to the UK did not rise under Starmer. It collapsed. From a peak of 944,000 to 204,000 in two years, the lowest since 2021, down 69% in the last year alone. The exact issue Trump named as his failure is the one where the numbers moved hardest in his favor.

It did not save him. Because the boats still cross the Channel on the news every night, energy bills stay high while the North Sea stays shut, and a country that feels the strain does not read the statistics before it turns on its leader.

This is the pattern devouring Western governments this year. Borders and energy. The same two forces now ending a prime minister who cut migration by three quarters and still lost the room.

Starmer fixed the number and lost the story. In this era, the story wins every time.

I see a lot of people signing a petition for D3, but If you want a Destiny 3, log on June 9th and play the fuck out of Monument of Triumph.

I can assure you that whatever numbers that update pulls will be looked at very closely.

Make the Destiny franchise undeniable.

For almost twelve years, we have had the joy and honor to explore the Destiny universe with you all. Through all the ups and downs, surprises and triumphs, building Destiny alongside our players has been a monumental privilege. While our love for Destiny 2 has not changed, it has become clear that after The Final Shape, we have reached the time for our shared worlds, and Destiny, to live beyond Destiny 2.

As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio.

Though active development may be concluding, we will ensure that Destiny 2 remains playable, just as the original Destiny is today. Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to.

We’re proud of Destiny 2, the places it took us, and the legacy it has created. Because of you all, our universe is vast, built on years of shared stories, adventures, and victories. From the Cosmodrome to the Pale Heart to the Lawless Frontier, we have forged life-long memories and friendships with you all.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made that journey with us.

From the deepest part of our hearts, thank you, and we'll see you in the stars.

@TeamYouTube It just keeps redirecting me to “ask the community”, I can’t find a page with solutions to my issue. The closest is “check your membership hasn’t expired”.

[John Hamilton @JohnDoesSnooker]

@TeamYouTube my annual YouTube Premium subscription says it has expired after only 3 months? And the online support pages don’t cover this situation.
