Made a small surplus as recently as 2023. Explicit on the reasons why it has to close. Another 400 kids disrupted. Teachers and support staff losing their jobs. All so some sad labour politicians could get their own back on "posh kids". Pathetic. https://t.co/56GFU1J42Q

JD Vance went to Minneapolis to try to turn the temp down and handled himself very well.. A dumbass reported said ICE detained a 5-year old after preschool… JD did some digging and of course the MSM lied again. “Well I do a little bit more follow-up research and what I find is

I’ll be honest with you. The reason I haven’t tweeted about Chagos is simple. The deal genuinely puzzles me, and it has been gnawing away at my brain. The obvious explanation is that Starmer is a post-national politician. I made that point repeatedly when he first became Prime

You keep going on about this 150 quid. My bill is up four hundred on last year, despite Orkney being rammed out with fucking windmills. Take a fucking good look at yourself.
Our number one focus is cutting the cost of living. That's why we're taking £150 off energy bills, freezing rail fares and increasing minimum wage. There's more to do, but this is the year Britain turns a corner.

I don’t believe in accepting homelessness. No, you can’t sleep on the streets, defecate in the park, do drugs in the alleyway, or steal copper from construction sites. If you are incapable of caring for yourself, then it is the responsibility of the state to step in and to remove
Portland is in a full-blown mental health crisis. Walking in the street to Portland is like walking through the psych ward of ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest’

@realBenBloch Disagree. His attempt to pretend that concerns about inexplicable Chagos giveaway are "undermining govt over Greenland" one of the most shameful things he has ever said at PMQs, in a very crowded field. If you support self-determination for one, you should for the other

What the hell do the background checks look at for these posts - vital statistics?
A prison officer who had a four minute sex romp in a prayer room in prison was jailed today. Isabelle Dale, 23, who worked at HMP Coldingley, was jailed for three-and-a-half years after she was found guilty of two counts of misconduct in a public office

First black First Lady. Wife of the first black President. Whole world in front of her. Limitless opportunity and wealth and influence. And she's on the 'white women suck' tour. What an absolute waste of a legacy. Pathetic.

Threaten a Frenchman with 200% tariffs on wine and the Frenchman who shows up to Davos will ask if you've seen John Connor.

History is going to be totally unforgiving to Britain’s political class for its failure to rebuild our hard power after Putin annexed Crimea in 2014, and again after the full scale invasion in 2022. Instead of accepting that productive force is the ultimate arbiter, Westminster

Friend: Israelis don’t want peace. If they did, the war would already be over. Me: Peace with what endgame? Friend: Ending the occupation. Justice. Human rights. Me: Fine. What’s the political solution? Friend: Two states. Me: Ok. Then answer one thing. What happens to the

There were 250,000 children under 5 in Gaza. Now, 380,000 children under 5 in Gaza are dead, although nearly all the 250,000 children under 5 in Gaza are still alive. This is what the terminal stage of schizoid anti-semitism looks like. Get out while you still have a brain.
“Some scholars and scientists estimate the real death toll in Gaza at 680,000.” “If confirmed, 380,000 of them are infants under five.” —Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur https://t.co/e9vBSqi9wz

I see that self-declared decolonial historian Alan Lester (I know you search for your name, Alan, despite the block) has written a long thread defending the Chagos deal. Somewhat surprisingly he doesn't mention the Chagossians once. An abject moral failure of a man.

Craig’s Bond spends pretty much his entire career mourning his betrayal by and loss of Vesper Lynd. Brosnan’s Bond would have locked her in that sinking Venetian lift himself while delivering a horrifically tasteless one liner like, “You’re going down, but not getting off.”

I’m often struck by this when seeing clips of urban explorers visiting abandoned houses and the extraordinary state of decay into which those buildings descend in really quite a short space of time.
Somehow it was learning how many people are fulltime employed to maintain the Golden Gate Bridge that flipped something inside of me in my understanding of the entropic force civilization has to constantly fight against. Before that moment I thought — I had not applied real
