My formal complaint to @SytnerGroup Manc (now @MotorRange) about a faulty car purchased 13/11/24, remains unresolved since 10/04/25! Less than 6 months of ownership & multiple significant faults have appeared. This breaches #ConsumerRightsAct2015. 😤 #CustomerServiceFail 🧵/1
🚨 BBC News: Farage: “I bought the £1.4m house with my I’m a Celeb money.”
Corporate accounts show the fee was still in the company after the purchase.
Same week he’s under inquiry for the £5m Thai crypto Brexit bung.
The stories keep changing but the smell doesn’t.
We prefer science to conspiracy theories, rule of law to rule of force, dialogue to threats.
Nous préférons la science au complotisme, l’État de droit à la loi du plus fort, le dialogue aux menaces.
For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.
Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not.

Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela do not make America safer, stronger, or more affordable.
That Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator does not change the fact that this action was both unlawful and unwise. We’ve seen this movie before. Wars for regime change or oil that are sold as strength but turn into chaos, and American families pay the price.
The American people do not want this, and they are tired of being lied to.
This is not about drugs or democracy. It is about oil and Donald Trump’s desire to play the regional strongman. If he cared about either, he wouldn’t pardon a convicted drug trafficker or sideline Venezuela’s legitimate opposition while pursuing deals with Maduro’s cronies.
The President is putting troops at risk, spending billions, destabilizing a region, and offering no legal authority, no exit plan, and no benefit at home.
America needs leadership whose priorities are lowering costs for working families, enforcing the rule of law, strengthening alliances, and — most importantly — putting the American people first.
304 BILLION BARRELS.
That’s the real reason Venezuela matters.
Sky News just laid it out plainly: Trump’s Venezuela obsession was never really about drugs. It’s about oil, specifically heavy crude.
The U.S. now produces tons of light shale oil, but our Gulf Coast refineries were built for heavy, gloopy crude. They need it to function. And guess who has the largest proven reserves of heavy oil on Earth?
Venezuela.
Canada has some. Russia has some. But Venezuela has the most, 304 billion barrels sitting underground. That’s why tankers, sanctions, regime change talk, and now bombs.
It was never about fentanyl.
It was never about democracy.
It’s about feeding refineries, controlling supply, and locking down oil before rivals do.
I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City.
Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law.
This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn’t just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home. My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue relevant guidance.
I’m Dr Ahmed, a Muslim consultant psychiatrist. For more than 10 years, I’ve worked over Xmas so colleagues who celebrate can be with their loved ones. I’m on call again this year in emergency psychiatry. Thanks to all frontline staff working over the festive period. Merry Xmas.
En ces fêtes de fin d’année, aux côtés de nos militaires en opération, je vous souhaite de très belles fêtes à toutes et à tous.
Alors que beaucoup de familles se retrouvent pour Noël et le Nouvel An, des femmes et des hommes restent mobilisés, en première ligne, pour nous protéger et prendre soin de nous tous.
À nos militaires et à nos forces de sécurité, à nos soignants et à nos pompiers, à tous ceux qui veillent sur les Françaises et les Français : merci infiniment.
C’est cela, la Fraternité : veiller les uns sur les autres et faire Nation.
This is how an ex player should talk about his former club. You can clearly tell who actually played for the badge.
Go and watch Rashford’s interview, then come back and watch Scott McTominay’s interview. This is exactly why I love him so much.
Actor Richard Gere: “The entire planet has fallen off a cliff into the stupid zone. Do you really think these refugees and immigrants are different than us? Do you really believe these clowns like Trump, Orban, Netanyahu, Putin? You really believe what these guys say?”
Scott McTominay has tonight been named Serie A Player of the Year for 2024/25 at the Galà del Calcio awards, Italy’s equivalent of the PFA awards in the UK.
The Scotsman joins an illustrious list of previous winners of this award including Zinedine Zidane, Kaka, Andrea Pirlo and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Craig Hope works for the Daily Mail, an outlet which has routinely racially targeted English footballers. This is not new for Craig, who has been doing this to Jude Bellingham for a long time - dating back years.
Is it any wonder Bellingham chose to play abroad & steers clear of engaging with the English media? He's not some brat, he just chose made different choices. As a result, he's been targeted & stereotyped.
This is so disgustingly blatant.
“I don’t think they are ready for a black superstar!” 🗣️
A powerful response from @IanWright0 following Jude Bellingham’s recent criticism in the media.
