Of all the lies told in this history of the world, this might be the biggest
Vance: There is no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the government than Donald J. Trump

Fantastic news that should be welcomed by anyone with this country's best interests at heart.
🚨 New figures show that knife crime is down by 11% and overall homicides are down by 7%, since July 2024. Fatal knife attacks are also at their lowest level in 35 years.

The stated position of the Trump administration is that the President of Russia is a humanitarian and that the President of Ukraine should be removed from office. The American electorate have a chance to make their feelings about this known in less than two weeks.
U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff praised Russian President Vladimir Putin as "a humanitarian" following the release of U.S. citizen Stephen Hubbard on Wednesday. During a meeting in St. Petersburg, Witkoff thanked Putin for freeing the American — whom the U.S. government had declared wrongfully detained — and lauded the Russian autocrat, who ordered the ongoing full-scale invasion of Ukraine almost five years ago. Witkoff was in Russia as Trump administration and Russian officials were set to have talks focused on the Ukraine war.

60 years ago today 144 people died in the Welsh village of Aberfan when a colliery spoil tip collapsed onto them. 109 of those were children attending the village school. A tragedy that broke hearts, which remain broken now. The strength and courage shown by that community is an example to us all.

Dishonest man complains about government taking action against something that he himself tried to take action against when in government.
The country is going down the pan and our Prime Minister is faffing around tweaking parking tickets. What is the point in Burnham if he refuses to touch the big issues like the ballooning benefits bill?

Much more of this nonsense and we're going to have to insist that America stop using British places in their names - we're talking to you New York, Boston and Washington

All you can hear in the cafes of France is cries of "when will the Prime Minister of the UK do something about this?!"
As Paris burns our prime minister has stopped people playing loud music on buses & trains.

457 UK armed forces personnel died during the war in Afghanistan. Beyond those and US fatalities, a further 703 individuals from 30 nations were killed. Hegseth owes each of their families an apology.
Hegseth on Afghanistan: I was a captain in Afghanistan, and we would go to the headquarters in Kabul, and there would be 50 flags at the headquarters. It was a beautiful thing to see 50 different countries contributing to the NATO alliance and the ISAF mission there. Except there were like maybe five that contributed. It was actually closer to one or two that, by the end, were actually involved in kinetic operations. In fact, the ISAF patch, we would joke that it meant "I Saw Americans Fighting."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Over 1100 non-American soldiers from 31 US-allied countries were killed fighting in Afghanistan, approximately 1/3 of the total combat deaths. t.co/x4tGhxJiFG

If an amendment to your constitution results in children routinely being shot in school then it's time to amend it again.

According to the owner of this site, commercial companies can't be involved in "offensive" military actions. That's probably news to Lockheed Martin and lots of other arms companies.
Replying to @FedorovMykhailo
Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS. Starlink is a commercial service owned and controlled by SpaceX. Usage of Starlink is limited to civilian or defensive activities and cannot be used for offensive military action, as doing so would be inappropriate for a commercial company.
