Thanks to @johnmcdonnellMP for speaking about the importance of GBR having an industry wide travel facilities scheme for all rail workers

If this isn't analogous to Brexit, nothing is! He thought he could leave the club but keep all the advantages of membership. What an idiot.

I thought he didn't need the UK because the war was already won?

It's rather a shame they're getting rid of historical figures. I guess they're finding it harder and harder to come up with non-controversial ones?

Officially Europe’s No.1 city 🏆👏🏾

London is thriving: dynamic, diverse and safer than many of its US rivals, while continuing to top global rankings.

Our capital remains a global business hub and cultural powerhouse ⬇️

Rubio: "I never said we attacked because Israel was going to attack."

Also Rubio: "We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, so we had to act first."

The first evacuation 'plane from The Middle East has landed at Manchester. Those poor, poor people! Haven't they suffered enough?!

This is what happened when Charlie Kirk had a debate with someone with an education.

Rather than debating American kids that were just starting college.

Issue an immediate refund to all Americans for your illegal tax. Now.

It remains stunning, that throughout all of this, the Royal Family have never confirmed who exactly paid for the payoff nor why, exactly, they stripped Andrew of his titles. Parliament hasn’t thought to ask either.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it’s for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We’re demanding immediate answers and action.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I am outraged by the removal of the Rainbow Pride Flag from Stonewall National Monument. New York is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and no act of erasure will ever change, or silence, that history.

Our city has a duty not just to honor this legacy, but to live up to it. I will always fight for a New York City that invests in our LGBTQ+ community, defends their dignity, and protects every one of our neighbors—without exception.

Has Sarwar actually called a press conference to slag off Starmer? That seems a bit performative...

When a camera went missing during a shoot in the Arctic circle, the AP crew found it among sled dogs they'd been filming with earlier. A dog had taken it and had also hit record.
