Under a bigoted @JohnCleese tweet. Knuckle-dragging racists now hiding in plain sight.

@JohnCleese They hate Paks just as much as white people. But now they bear responsibility for Henry Nowak’s murder. As long as these Nowak killers keep their role as anti-Pak lightning rods, they should be left alone.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This was tweeted by @GBNEWS presenter @Alexarmstrong.

He deleted it. He’ll face no consequences.

The most extreme, unhinged opinions are being mainstreamed.

If that carries on, this country will fall into the abyss

BREAKING NEWS: No, not U.K. cabinet resignation (though there will be a @RestIsPolitics on that soon!) I am hearing that Omar Artan who was denied entry to the US for being the wrong colour is being lined up to referee the @UEFA Super Cup game between Villa and PSG! If this is so, and he accepts, then it will show once more how much superior are European to current US values. Infantino out Čeferin in!!! Fingers crossed we get confirmation soon.

@mariashriver She didn't let him lie. She didn't let him bully. She stood her ground. When he couldn't take the heat and started to leave, she REFUSED to let him go without calling him out for abandoning his duty to answer to the American people.

EVERY reporter should take notes!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

I think it's about time women journalists started walking out on Trump. 'Ok Mr President, you've now insulted me three times during this interview and that is enough. You either apologise or I terminate the broadcast'.

Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.

The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.

It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.

Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.

Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…

If 9 Jewish paramedics were killed ANYWHERE in the world it would be called terrorism.

And we’d never hear the end of it.

Israel slaughtered 9 paramedics in 72 hours, most of which we’ve seen on film, and we only hear their names on Twitter.

[Eugene Costello @eugenecostello]

@WalleyVision @MaryKenny4 Not remotely imaginary. It is well-documented despite Israel barring journalists from the battlefield.

So what happens when Reform take over your local council?

This.

... who confesses that he and twin brother had accidentally killed a man and buried him. She goes undercover totape a confession, and falls into cocaine and alcohol abuse, in part caused by the horrendous lack of a duty of care by @PoliceScotland. Brilliantly done. 9/10

#WouldYouMarryAMurderer? is a great three-parter on @netflix. Documentary, it is sterling journalism and the director got brilliant access to the central character, a former pathologist whose life was turned upside down when she became engaged to a Highlands gamekeeper...

[The Daily Britain @dailybritainonx]

21 kicked out. 28 defected. 39 resigned. 5 suspended. 1 disqualified. 5 lost seats. That's approximately 99 Reform UK councillors and representatives who have left the party.

22 of them since the local elections just two weeks ago. The party claims "some of the strongest vetting in the country."

Here's the full list 👇

Israel asalta y secuestra barcos cargados de ayuda para Gaza en pleno Mediterráneo y a esta señora le hace gracia y no mueve un dedo para defender a las personas secuestradas.

Within two hours of being named the Reform candidate for Makerfield, Robert Kenyon seems to have already deleted nearly all his social media.

Sounds promising...

[Eugene Costello @eugenecostello]

#RemarkablyBrightCreatures is shmaltzy, mawkish crap about a talking octopus who saves two fractured people. The twist, such as it is, is completely unbelievable.

If Hallmark Cards did a Poundland version this would be it.

Avoid like syphilis.
