The DUP propped up Theresa May's minority Tory government. The conviction of its former leader on 18 child sex abuse charges including rape deserves at least as much coverage as the Daily Mail gave to Peter Murrell's embezzlement of £400,000 from the SNP.
Dear flagshaggers, what are you doing about these men? They’re not just the occasional foreigner in an alley. They’re your mates, colleagues, brothers, dads… One was a paramedic for fucks sake.
You only say “we’ve got enough here already” to avoid fucking doing anything.
Two headlines, two papers
@Independent blames a mother for her toddlers death while the father was looking after him
@DailyMail frames a man raping his daughter as ‘romping’. She tragically went on to kill herself
The British media is in the gutter @IpsoNews@MichelleDewbs
The targeted outrage when white women and girls are raped and assaulted, but only if it’s done by an immigrant, is by far the most insidious, dishonest, wicked and craven type of fake virtue signalling.
These men created a network over years and years, to drug and rape a woman, and not a peep from the men who were throwing bins at police under the PROTECT OUR WOMEN banner.
You really have to admire Antifa’s artistic skill.
With nothing but box cutters, they somehow managed to perfectly recreate the intricate look of poorly applied paint peeling off concrete that had concentrated peroxide dumped all over it.
Incredible craftsmanship.
When President Trump illegally demolished the White House’s East Wing, he dumped the resulting 35,000 cubic yards of toxic debris on the East Potomac National Park. The administration knew it was dangerous to our people and our environment, but did it anyway. Now, we’re demanding they clean up their mess. https://t.co/7ERKtHueXr
Astonishing that Andy Burnham's threat to scrap the Barnett Formula has been completely ignored by BBC Scotland but has been picked up by BBC Wales who've challenged Burnham. What is BBC Scotland actually for? It regularly ignores HUGE political stories.

This is ABC journalist Jonathan Karl’s video of the peeling paint that Trump claims implicated the reporter in a crime.
Looks like he’s simply doing his job.
Maybe the President should do his!
10 years ago, after narrowly winning the referendum, Boris Johnson confessed,
"We didn't have a plan for what to do next"
"We didn't think it was our job to have a plan"
10 years later, Brexit continues to be a disaster
How much more damage to our economy, may many more billions lost, how many more public services underfunded, till the UK get's a political leader who is honest with the public about the damage caused by Brexit and takes the UK back into the EU?
On the 10th anniversary of Britain’s National Suicide, please enjoy right wing imbecile Lord Hannan’s glorious predictions about how brilliantly Brexit would turn out. A timeless classic. #idiocracy
The world's richest man is desperately trying to rewrite history regarding his destruction of USAID.
Elon Musk's sudden pivot to damage control proves he knows exactly how devastating his actions were, no matter how much he tries to spin it now.
In his latest gaslighting campaign, Musk claims he only stepped in to ensure there was no fraud, leaning heavily on fabricated narratives about Ukraine and COVID to shield himself from criticism. But the internet remembers everything. We all saw him brag on X about sending USAID to the wood chipper with zero regard for the global fallout.
His malicious cuts dismantled life-saving food, medical, and security infrastructure around the world. A peer-reviewed study published in The Lancet warns that the defunding of USAID will result in a staggering 14 million preventable deaths by 2030, including 4.5 million children under the age of five. Hundreds of thousands have already died. They are dying from entirely treatable conditions like malnutrition, malaria, and a lack of HIV medication because PEPFAR and global health networks were frozen overnight.
Naturally, given the chaotic nature of humanitarian crises, it is impossible to audit every single one of these deaths in real time. But while the precise statistics will be debated by academics for years, the big picture is inescapable: when you suddenly choke off medicine and food to millions of vulnerable people, catastrophic suffering and a massive loss of life are the inevitable result.
No amount of whitewashing by Musk will change the facts, and history will remember him for the lives he destroyed
A note to my friends who still back Trump:
I am not here to dunk on you. I am writing because you have a working brain, and this story insults it.
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool got a $14 million paint job. Shortly thereafter the water turned green and the new “American flag blue” coating started peeling off the bottom in sheets. Trump says vandals did it. He claims, without evidence, that someone took a knife and cut a 300-foot slit, a number that grew to 350 feet while he was still talking.
Back on May 4, Trump bragged about that same coating and said, if you had a knife, you could not even cut it, so strong, like powerful rubber. He cannot have it both ways.
And the green water?
A George Mason scientist tested it and found ordinary, non-toxic algae, the kind that blooms in any shallow sunny pool. To fight it, crews dumped hydrogen peroxide into the water.
Hydrogen peroxide is also a paint stripper.
That, not sabotage or vandalism, is the obvious reason the paint came off. They wrecked their own paint job, then blamed phantom vandals for it.
The lone "vandal" they paraded is a 67-year-old Olympian who touched a flap of paint already peeling on its own.
Here is the thing. If they will look you in the eye and lie about something this small, something you can see with your own eyes, ask yourself what else they are lying to you about.
Again, you have a working brain. People like Karoline Leavitt are counting on you to stay loyal instead of exercising independent thought.
Prove them wrong.
Today Brexit cheerleader, Jeffrey Donaldson was found guilty of rape, four counts of gross indecency and 13 counts of indecent assault against two women when they were children.
And a white man charged with five counts of terrorism.
Where is the pure cold rage from Farage? Lowe? Badenoch?
The right of our politics show themselves in their true light when the causes they shout loudest about, are committed by white, right-wing men.
Transparent racists.
If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.
On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.
After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.
We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...
