Detectorists... Such a calming comedy. Things kept simple. No malice, playground humour and even bad guys that you just love ❤️

Full and utterly scandalous story as private equity firm extracts £millions and then closes valued High Street chain down - unless it can be stopped.
Exclusive: In a message to staff, Poundland’s boss hails an £86m turnaround in the retailer’s fortunes.
But for almost two weeks, Poundland has been unable to buy new stock because its owner, Gordon Brothers, has restricted access to funding.
The business is selling what it has but cannot replenish its shelves. And administration looms.
What a mess. Full story 👇

Never thought I’d live to see the day when the leader of a fascist party would lay a wreath at the cenotaph on remembrance Sunday
Despicably disrespectful

This is so strong and clear.
You can't help but notice that if this was in the UK context - you wouldn't be able to get a single one of these sentences out without a journalist barracking the person saying it constantly.
The UK media is in quite a state.
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

Zohran Mamdani is on fire. 🔥
🇺🇸JD Vance at 6:00 PM: We lost due to the Iran war which causes household inflation for Americans
🇺🇸Zohran at 7:00 PM: "Bro you are VP of USA, not a random Twitter troll. You can't post like it's someone else's war. You started it, You can end it. Stop tweeting and crying, start acting."
Brutally Cooked 👏

Kemi Badenoch bemoans lack of "home grown" nurses, she was in the tory government that tripled tuition fees, scrapped education maintenance grants and allowances that helped poorer students, removed bursaries from nursing students, imposed years of pay freezes on NHS staff.

Cannot believe the guy who used a tax payer-funded BBC chauffeur to pick up his 16-year-old girlfriend from school when she was still in uniform and he was 29 years old turned out to be a rapist. I mean where were the signs?

I do not understand this:
If Russell Brand can be correctly convicted, why can literally nobody from the Epstein files be convicted.

Virgin Media are cutting up to 4000 jobs because of debt they have accumulated trying to rival former state owned BT.
Significantly they are also halting full fibre upgrades to their parallel network of broadband.
Executives are arguing “there is no economic case to have 3 overlapping networks in the United Kingdom”
Looks like we should RENATIONALISE BT BROADBAND - one company, 1 set of cables.

The poppy is a quiet symbol of remembrance. It is NOT a pay & display item to prove you’re more patriotic than others, a photo opportunity or a competition. Wear it quietly, or not all but please do donate, that’s the important part, not this performative, opportunistic wankery.

May those who live, work or holiday on top of this have nightmares about what lies beneath them. May they imagine the cries of the dying and may it keep them awake at night.

This idiot has been exposed as a fraud and a liar — he is a landlord with 6 houses. That was yesterday. So of course, the BBC ignore that and put him back on television tonight to plead his pretend poverty caused by… paying his staff properly.
"Andy Burnham, come and have a chat with me. Come and work in my business, I'll show you what we need."
Small business owner Paul Bowen asks Prime Minister Andy Burnham for more support following this week’s Budget measures.

“Heartwarming: Teen returns to Eastern Front after losing arms and legs” is truly a September 1944 Völkischer Beobachter headline.
Ukrainian veteran Ruslan Knysh is just 20 years old. Still, he continues to defend his country after losing both arms and legs in a Russian drone attack. Today, he is training to become a drone pilot by using a customized chin controller to operate unmanned ground vehicles. abcnews.link/H2WKOYt

⚡🇬🇧🇷🇺 After the UK reportedly deployed three Vanguard-class nuclear submarines, Russia has test-fired a nuclear-capable Bulava ballistic missile from the submerged Generalissimo Suvorov submarine in the Sea of Okhotsk.
The timing puts renewed focus on nuclear deterrence and strategic submarine forces.
