The guy's partner's ex sent him revenge porn of her and the internet isn't telling him to buy a gun. Everyone has gone soft on here I swear

🚨 NEW: A voter tells Tory Minister Mark Spencer to “read the room” on BBC Question Time
“Your party has let us down over the past 14 years. You’re going to lose, you’re going to lose terribly, and you’re going to deserve to lose.”

BREAKING:
The European Commission today backed down to Russian threats and issued new guidelines, saying sanctions don’t apply to rail transit via Lithuania to Kaliningrad.
The EU says “Lithuania has an obligation to let the goods through”.
LT has not commented on the decision

will always be hilarious that the US gov banned European baby formula because it wasn't as bad as locally made formula; it's like a parody of US lobbying
Sorry to keep going on about this
But the niece of the current PM of Bangladesh is a sitting Labour MP here; and so far she has not said anything about her family taking over a country.
That feels as though it should be looked into by Labour HQ

🇧🇩 opposition members and their supporters are marching through the streets to reject tomorrow's general elections and call on people not to vote.
Many opposition parties are boycotting the vote as they consider the elections to be rigged in favor of PM Hasina

“All of us have a homosexual part of 25 per cent, which I also have. The only thing is that I, after a profound examination, have realized that my homosexual part is lesbian.”
The EU is turning to more reliable energy suppliers.
Today I’m in Azerbaijan to sign a new agreement.
Our goal: double the gas delivery from Azerbaijan to the EU in a few years.
🇦🇿 will be a crucial partner for our security of supply and on our way to climate neutrality.
JUST SIGNED: Landmark agreement allowing the UK and Japan to deploy forces in one another’s countries.
Strengthening our commitment to the stability of the Indo-Pacific

the only reason Brexit got any traction here is because we were the second biggest net contributor to the EU; any campaign to leave while being a net beneficiary is doomed to fail

I'd say yes and no, there certainly were a class of professional yeoman longbowmen; but there were also specific laws enacted to make sure more could be raised from the general peasantry

you'd think ordering hundreds of quids worth of stuff from a restaurant might be enough for them not to demand hundreds of quid more?

Fair to say our friends in the USA are the biggest single supporter of Ukraine but to claim Euros are not pulling weight is just wild at this stage
I really wish this were the case. But it's not.
The entire effort is organized and run by the U.S. We don’t just provide the key capabilities, but run intel support, maintenance and physically move things. Creative accounting suggesting Europe has provided more is not real. 1/

Instead of exhaustively continually checking which small minority of drag performances are safe for kids to attend; perhaps it would be simpler to say that drag shows should stick to adults?
all the history in this article is correct; and it's a very well written piece...it just has nothing to do with current events; very few blood libel believing christians at today's marches
whenever I read headlines like this I remember how the entire internet was howling for the blood of that lone female dog walker who called the cops on the creepy birdwatcher
@RealCynicalFox
the reverse of this is also true though
UA isn't worth mushroom clouds over any Russian city
so there is a level we can support/escalate too
The facts: a home office report in 2020 concluded majority of child sexual abuse gangs are made up of white men under age of 30.
It found there wasn’t enough evidence to suggest gang members more likely to be Asian or black than other ethnicities.

yeah, they should get paid for it; by their employers
you're arguing people who just want a meal on holiday should subsidize a system in which workers get a fifth of the minimum wage they do here.
