The contrast between Reagan’s speech at Point-Du-Hoc and Pete Hegseth today are like two different galaxies. Listen to how much reverence he gives to the same allies that Hegseth attacks.

That is some wild, unhinged stuff from the President.

Welker is a good person and honest journalist and didn’t deserve that but more importantly we have a president who constantly pushes conspiracy theories with zero evidence and can’t respond when politely challenged on that.

Veteran news anchor Jon Snow has shared that he’s living with dementia, speaking publicly for the first time to raise awareness of a condition affecting around 1 million people across the UK.

Jon and his wife, neurologist Dr Precious Lunga, are supporting Alzheimer’s Society @alzheimerssoc and shared the story of Jon’s diagnosis in @DailyMail as part of our Defeating Dementia campaign with the newspaper.

https://t.co/Sy08OWXmms

We’ve partnered with Jon, in association with @Channel4, on a powerful new documentary airing on 20 June. Jon Snow: A Last Big Story looks at how he’s navigating life with dementia, and how, when we all come together, we can change the story.

Thank you to Jon and Precious for their courage and openness to bring much-needed attention to dementia 💙

If your summer holiday is delayed because of Brexit EES restrictions, remember Farage got paid £5 million to make you stand in a queue.

This is what elite, world-class investigative journalism looks like:

Carole Cadwalladr and her team at The Nerve have forensically stripped the mask off the British political establishment.

The pattern they found in The Harborne Receipts is nothing short of terrifying. Millions of pounds flow from a crypto-billionaire into the pockets of Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, and like clockwork, weeks later, those exact politicians start pushing laws to benefit the crypto industry.

It is the exact same playbook Donald Trump used in America. It is cash-for-policy, clear as day.

While the billionaire-owned press tries to distract us with culture wars and theatre, true journalists follow the money.

This is the toxic soil that is destroying our democracy from within.

Absolute honour to see her back in action!

@nickdesouza morning Nick, I have sent you a DM- what are your thoughts best Neil

People are saying that Nigel Farage has asked Elon Musk to ban people from X for sharing this clip of him attacking his crony Robert Jenrick.

Surely free speech champion Nigel Farage isn't that petty? But just in case, THIS is the video that you mustn't download or share

[Ladytron Fan Account @Lady_FanAccount]

"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band.

The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September).

Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.

🚨@Nigel_Farage and @reformparty_uk have demanded Elon Musk have this video taken down and everyone who posts it banned!

[Matthew Stadlen @MatthewStadlen]

If you depose a man who led you to a 174 seat majority less than two years ago, you’d better know what you’re doing, or Nigel Farage becomes Prime Minister.

[Sarah Ludford 🇬🇧 🇮🇪🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @SarahLudford]

Very good to hear the #RejoinEU message put with such clarity and force by @nickclegg.
I hope he does so repeatedly & frequently, and that the current @LibDems leadership follows suit.
