feel like a lot of the internet disagreement over this topic arises due to the average American understanding seasoning exclusively as like, a colourful powder that comes out of a jar. and the more of this you add to your food, the more morally correct you are

Its kinda funny how British food gets clowned on for “lack of seasoning” but Japanese food never catches the same smoke

GBNews needs to change its name to RTNews at this point. Tom Tugendhat, ex Security Minister, does well to push back the nonsense from Bev Turner, ex sports presenter..

Dear @englandcricket Why are you playing the Afghanistan men's team when in their country women are tortured and persecuted by the Taliban? Where is your morality? Where are your ethics?

I find it amazing that this has become so completely normalised at the same time as celebrity feminism fusses over The Handmaid's Tale (which they've some how conveniently decided is only really relevant to abortion)

Yes all dogs can be trained etc etc but it's an undeniable fact that certain breeds were created by selective breeding over many many years specifically to be good at killing things and being aggressive. Why you would want one of those breeds as a family pet is baffling.

At this age I was constantly being asked if I was a boy or girl, and constantly responding "Girl, but I wish I were a boy!" If I'd been born 10 years later, some well-meaning teacher would have convinced me to be trans We need to just let girls be awkward tomboys 🧵

Circumcision is genital mutilation on infant boys. There is no consent, no justification.

Trump's furious because as a Bishop, Budde can move as far she wants diagonally, but as a Russian pawn he can only move one square at a time.

Nature belongs to no one and everyone. The British countryside isn’t being 'taken over'—it’s being celebrated. Prayer doesn’t claim land; it leaves it untouched, just like we found it. How about we focus on what unites us, like the beauty of this shared land? 📍Longshaw

This is all about dominance. There are over 3000 mosques in Britain they can choose from. Taking over the public streets of our cities isn’t good enough, they have to take over the British countryside too. They won’t rest until British people can’t escape from Islamism.

Five Reform MPs. Same as the Independents (including Corbyn). But mainstream media gives Reform endless coverage, yet completely ignores the Independents. I wonder why?

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
To provide context. Reform obtained about 4.12 million votes at the last General Election. The combined votes for the candidates pictured was about 0.05 million. It is fairly common for media coverage to be determined by the popularity of parties. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_o…

This is also why Robbie Williams never really broke America, I think – something like ‘Angels’ is fundamentally a British chanting song, it’s made to be belted out in unison by a crowd in a very, very British way

1) Today I, alongside over 160 parliamentarians, have written to the England and Wales Cricket Board urging them to speak out against the Taliban's unconscionable oppression of women and girls and boycott their upcoming match against Afghanistan in the Champions Trophy.
