This is so unbearable. On the one hand I don’t want to dwell on it because it’s heartbreaking. On the other hand, I feel the world should know Hind Rajab’s name. And those responsible must be held accountable…

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

What happened to Hind Rajab, the 6-year-old girl in Gaza trapped in a car surrounded by her dead relatives?

Through satellite imagery and in-depth analysis, we shed new light on Hind's terrifying ordeal and how she was killed along with the medics sent to save her.

No - Burnham just won a seat in parliament. Farage already has one!

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

Andy Burnham calls @Nigel_Farage by election a "gimmick" - apparently failing to see the irony that he himself just pulled an identical stunt.....embarrassing

Game on, Nige.

A British billionaire can move to Dubai and stop paying UK tax.

An American billionaire can’t: the US taxes its citizens wherever they live.

So should we copy America?

No. There’s a reason only the US does this. A passport tax would be unfair, unworkable, & a huge mess.

This is the construction PMI. Over 50 means growth, under 50 means contraction.

What an inflection point the 2024 election turned out to be.

Since then, the construction PMI has been in persistent contraction. Housing has collapsed and civil engineering has plummeted.

With all the talk of everything being against them, altitude, the energy of the Azteca, and 10 men for half the game, we saw the 3 lions tonight. Unbelievable spirit and resilience. They have the qualities to go on and win this competition. Unforgettable night in the history of the England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 team. I, on the other hand, am a pool of piss and am going for an angiogram in the morning #MEXENG

[Omid Djalili @omid9]

Just ridiculous. Mexico penalty. Not a clear and obvious error. Jimenez scored. Mexico 2-3 England

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did.

250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.

A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.

An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.

The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.

A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.

A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.

Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.

$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.

And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.

And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators?

Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry.

For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop?

Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family?

They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.

Today should have been Saffie-Rose Roussos 18th birthday but she was murdered in the Manchester Arena bombing in May 2017. Happy Birthday sweetheart. You are remembered. You are loved.

FIFA could save us all a lot of fuss and bother if they'd just announce the winner already.

[Tim Shipman @ShippersUnbound]

Shame David Cameron didn't make such an effort to get Frank Lampard's goal to count against Germany in 2010 and the match restarted from that point

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Andy Burnham is now taking a few questions, albeit in highly controlled circumstances. He’s coming across as a bit Forrest Gump: well-meaning, naïve, uninformed.
So let’s get real. Here’s a proper question about a huge issue.
There are almost 11m people of working age in the UK who are economically inactive.
Yet Skills England reports that construction is short of 1m workers to meet the current infrastructure and housing targets — and that’s before you include Mr Burnham’s plans for a massive council house building programme.
It’s a clear sign of a labour market — skills shortage AND huge inactive labour pool — not functioning properly.
It needs to be put right before we have any chance of decent growth.
So, Mr Burnham, what would you do to put it right?

I was offered sex today by a very handsome 26yo. In exchange I was to advertise some bathroom cleaner on Twitter. Of course I declined because of my morals & strong willpower, which is as strong as Ajax, the super strong bathroom cleaner available scented with vanilla or lemon.

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

This kind of polling is not meaningful. If you present the benefit of something without the cost, and ask people what they think - in 5 seconds - then of course they'll be in favour of it.

Making political decisions based on this kind of polling is mad.

[Alec Cleghorn Brown @LondonAlec]

I hope this happens

[Nicholas Drummond @nicholadrummond]

A Russian attack against Poland could be the biggest miscalculation Putin has made so far. Imagine if Poland decided to join Ukraine in pushing Russian forces out of the country. It’s got the manpower and land capabilities to do just this.

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

russian terrorists killed the wife and 5-year-old daughter of a Ukrainian police officer from the Sumy region.

Their older daughter was injured and is now in the hospital.

While he was defending Ukraine, russia murdered his family.

Never say you don't know what russia is.

[Alec Cleghorn Brown @LondonAlec]

To be fair he has only said he will keep it for THIS PARLIAMENT (ie until 2029); not beyond that…

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

I have no idea how the UK is ever going to get out of the mess they're in, because so many of the causes of their stagnation have supermajority support.

The triple lock is *insanely* popular with British voters. Even with 18-34 year olds!

[Alec Cleghorn Brown @LondonAlec]

Hard agree

[Tom Harwood @tomhfh]

This is absurd. Palantir tech saves lives.

If the NHS can’t interpret its own data well it will continue to deliver substandard care.

In Florida, Palantir software has more than halved sepsis deaths. Down 68%. It spots trends early that humans can’t. Abandoning that for ideological reasons is *insane*.

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

Horror! The moment a Russian drone struck a swimming pool in Zaporizhzhia while swimmers were inside.

Russia: We only attack military targets.
No, you don't. You filthy terrorists attack exclusively civilian targets and have already committed over 230,000 war crimes.
Filthy scum.
