Trump was just mocked by a reporter on the world stage!

Reporter: "The Iran war seems to be a strategic dead end for you. Why are you apparently unable to end the Iran war?"

Trump: "So I think we're doing just the opposite. The Iran war has been a tremendous military success. And you know, I can only answer the question by saying they're not going to have a nuclear weapon."

Erling Haaland’s interview after the game. This guy is a top professional. Just top. Be it in defeat or in his wins. Thank you Erling. Norway may have been knocked out but you won the hearts of millions of people across America and all over the world. 🇳🇴

Tony Benn’s 5 key questions:

“What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you exercise it?
To whom are you accountable?
How do we get rid of you?

And if you can’t get rid of the people who govern you, you don’t live in a democratic system.”

Carole Cadwalladr, "My ongoing frustration with Nigel Farage he is seen as this English figure, wears tweed, goes to the pub, we see him through this lens"

"He has received almost no journalistic scrutiny throughout his entire career till very recently"

"He's not that cuddle cosy golf club English pub figure"

"He is in a relationship with the US far right and with the European pro-Kremlin far right"

"What happened in Brexit, we saw that money that force that influence, those networks coming together"

"It was the first real political campaign in the UK run through these online platforms"

"They ran a mock, blasted through electoral law, data law, and we're living with the consequences of that"

"Our constitution changes, the shape of Europe changed, our national security changed"

"And here is Nigel Farage in this pole position now, to potentially take power and we're not understanding the consequences of that"

"If you look at what Trump is doing in the US, the way he had a plan of what to do in office"

"Farage is now working with the same people"

"There is going to be an all out assault in the same way on the rule of law and our institutions"

Zack Polanski, "It's already happening"

Carole Cadwalladr, "The stakes of that are unfelt by most people, it's an abstract"

"We have to see what is happening in America and learn those lessons"

Left: Kristi Noem says Alex Pretti is a domestic terrorist

Right: Alex Pretti, a VA ICU Nurse, reading the last rights over a veteran at his hospital

Alex Pretti, "Today we remember that freedom is not free"

"We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. And even sacrifice for it"

"May we never forget and always remember our brothers and sisters who have served, so that w emay enjoy the gift of freedom"

"So in this moment we remember and give thanks to the dedication and selfless service to our nation in the cause of our freedom"

"In this solemn hour, we give them our honour and gratitude"

Heartbreaking…..

With Digital ID, Keir Starmer's pulled off a remarkable feat - he's united Nigel Farage, Zack Polanski, Jeremy Corbyn, Kemi Badenoch, Boris Johnson, Andy Burnham, Robert Jenrick, Ed Davey and Zarah Sultana on the same team

“The CIA once promoted abstract expressionism as a tool of regime change. Now we have AI videos of Trump bombing people with faeces.”

“Let's make Together for Palestine's record this year's Christmas No 1.” Musician and activist @brianeno explains why one song in particular matters this Christmas. ⏯️

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Do read this. It’s by @brianeno for @thenerve_news & it’s about this generation’s BandAid.

Lullaby is based on a traditional Palestinian melody, all proceeds go to Gaza, it would be amazing for it to be Xmas no 1, but more than that, buying it is a political act 👊

Happy International Day of Disabled People to all those who define as 'one of us'

Don’t give the lazy gift of factory-made crap this year — give the gifts of affection and creativity, hand-hewn by my book elves and my woodshop elves, or better yet, by your loving self!

Zack Polanski words then are as important now:

‘Shabana Mahmood is being deeply irresponsible’
‘Conflating, ultimately weaponising an antisemitic attack against those protesting against genocide is wrong’

Speaking to truth.

[Sayeeda Warsi @SayeedaWarsi]

How to explain the 1960's.

Well, we can start by saying here is Liberace performing Simon and Garfunkel.

We don't think the interim guidance published by the EHRC and pushed by Bridget Phillipson is lawful.

So today we've started legal proceedings against them.

Lady in leopard top, "We just celebrated VE Day last week" #BBCQT

"The end of fascism, Hitler, Nazis, the genocide"

"And the same thing is now happening to a group of people"

"How are we celebrating VE Day, while supplying arms to Israel. How could that be?"
