Genuinely grotesque that Meghan polls only 16 points better than Andrew. Whatever her faults, the villainisation is absurd.

In case you missed it
The UK used to grow 2% every year
Since Brexit it's been 0.1% every year
Boris Johnson called Brexit 'the sunlit uplands'
Nigel Farage in 2016 said, 'economicaly, we'd be better off than where we are today'
Time to rejoin the EU
Victoria Derbyshire, "What did we learn about our living standards?"
Ben Chu, "1% growth over 10 years"
"We used to grow 2% every year"
That's one way of illustrating the enormous economic price Britain has paid for Brexit #RejoinEU
The OBR estimates that Brexit will leave the UK economy around 4% smaller in the long run than it would otherwise have been, with both imports and exports taking a substantial hit.
We were promised greater prosperity, more opportunities and a stronger economy outside the EU. Instead, we've added significant trade barriers with our largest trading partner during a period of extraordinary economic stagnation.
Brexit isn't responsible for every economic problem Britain faces, but it has made the challenge of improving living standards considerably harder.
And ordinary households are living with the consequences of that decision.

Russell Brand says all his friends have abandoned him and he can't find one person who's prepared to provide a character witness statement in Court.
Maybe he could ask his old mate Bob Geldof...? 🤔 😂

I don't turn off replies ever. But on X, a vortex of right wing bile and imagined violence, I do turn off random replies from people I don't know or follow. Look at replies to this (when I forgot to do) and you'll see why.

According to Le Monde, citing sources, U.S. special envoy Witkoff held a tense meeting in Florida on October 9 with Budanov, head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office.
Sources claimed that Witkoff spoke to Budanov “like a child,” trying to “teach” him how to make money.
Witkoff proposed a postwar “regional prosperity plan” that included fully restoring Russian oil and gas transit to Europe through Ukrainian territory.
Witkoff argued that Ukraine would earn transit revenues while Europe would benefit from lower energy costs.
Budanov reportedly replied that Ukraine’s model is “not Belarus, but Poland,” then stepped out to call President Zelenskyy, who advised him not to show any reaction.
When the talks resumed, the Ukrainian side was shown a document outlining a U.S.-Russia diesel deal.
An irritated Witkoff reportedly said: “Accept this diesel deal and stop striking Russian oil refineries — you are putting the world at risk!”
Ukrainian participants were described as shocked, viewing the plan as creating dependency on Moscow and noting that the United States appeared to have secured nothing in return from Putin.
A source close to the delegation told Le Monde: “I have never seen the Ukrainians so stunned and alarmed after a meeting.”
Analysts contrasted the episode with the February 28, 2025 Oval Office incident, saying this one involves concrete policy decisions that could affect Ukraine’s ability to defend itself ahead of a potentially harsh winter.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the US military has taken our Patriot Missile Defense System out of Texas and sent it to Israel in preparation for a new round of combat operations against Iran after the midterms.
At the same time, the Intercept reports that "top defense officials are expressing increasing worry about the vulnerability of U.S. bases around the world and even within the United States..."

Un día te tomas una foto con ella y con David Beckham en la escuela.
Años después es tu novia, te casas con ellas, tienes hijos. Ganas el Balón de Oro y le dedicas el premio:
"Para mi esposa, tú eres mi mejor amiga. Tú querías este premio más que yo. Hemos pasado por altibajos. Lo hemos logrado. Siempre quisiste lo mejor para mí. Te sacrificaste por mis sueños. Esto no habría sido posible sin ti. Te amo"
