Politician jailed for taking bribes from Russia instead of Israel
The disgraced former leader of Reform Wales has been jailed for ten and a half years after taking £40,000 in bribes from Russia. Nathan Gill saw his fellow politicians taking money from every lobbyist in sight and thought it was the done thing, but he didn’t realise you’re not allowed to take money from the bad countries.

Andrew Windsor no longer a prince after King notices his brother is a nonce
Andrew Windsor is no longer a prince after the King noticed that his brother is a nonce, many years after the rest of us. King Charles finally discovered the truth after someone shouted at him during a church visit.
At that moment, the King realised that pretending the Epstein scandal was a nothing burger was bad for his public image.

Humanity is on the back foot because Fascism has almost won.
The past few days felt fateful, as if a cataclysmic history was being written for us. Political and economic waves batter us like a coast line during a hurricane.

URGENT: Smear needed to bring down leader who is worryingly principled
The establishment is in panic mode, frantically looking for a smear to bring down new Green leader Zack Polanski. Our WhatsApp group has been going mental as we try to come up with anything that won't look desperate and obvious. Problem is we overplayed our hand during Corbyn's time as Labour leader and people are wising up.

Huge confusion in UK as man with principles becomes leader of political party
In a hugely jarring moment for the establishment, a man with principles has won the leadership of the the Green Party and unveiled outrageous plans to do the right thing. A crestfallen Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns are baffled as to why their strategy of offering nothing and talking to Green members like they are children didn't work.

FBI insists it's definitely not covering up for the non-existent clients of Jeffrey Epstein
This is totally not suspicious
You will be hugely relieved to hear that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxell are the first sex traffickers in history to traffic women and children to zero clients,meaning all your favourite pro-Israel politicians are innocent.Even better,we now know beyond doubt that Jeffrey Epstein was not murdered.

Israel's attempt to destroy Jewish journalist by outing him as gay somehow backfires
Apparently, everyone already knew...
As you know, all Jews are expected to unequivocally support Israel's genocide, otherwise they are antisemites. Jews are not allowed to think for themselves and any Jews that say or do the right thing must be punished.It is for this reason that Mossad decided to bring down Jewish traitor Glenn Greenwald.

The workers have spoken: They’re staying home.
And companies can't make them come into the office. Really.

Given the rate at which businesses are closing as the nation’s economy collapses, Israel is going to learn there is a heavy price to pay for genocide, even if the price is nowhere near enough.
Germany still pays reparations to Israel for the holocaust - Israel should certainly do the same for Gaza and the West Bank. Palestinians deserve compensation for the holocaust they have endured.

Katie Halper was sacked from The Hill for describing Israel as an apartheid state and giving compelling reasons why.
Britain’s second richest man is cancelling TV shows at the request of Netanyahu, but if you highlight concerns over Zionist influence on our media, you’re the problem?

Finding common ground.
They were the most unlikely of seat mates.
Lyndon Johnson, the former president, out of office just six months, and Spiro Agnew, the new Vice President.
They had come to Florida from opposite poles of the political universe to watch men take off for the Moon.
And they sat there, side by side, dressed in suits and ties in 85-degree sunshine, and ‘made nice’ for the cameras.
It happened 55 years ago.

Trump chooses Vance because he couldn't find anyone with a higher opinion of him
What matters is the man of steel has a running mate now
While recovering from a painful cut on his ear, Donald Trump is courageously focusing on his two priorities: getting back on the campaign trail and releasing merchandise to cash in on the assassination attempt.

South Korea:
4B is shorthand: bihon, is the refusal of heterosexual marriage. Bichulsan is the refusal of childbirth, biyeonae is saying no to dating, and bisekseu is the rejection of heterosexual sexual relationships.

Democracy never survives an affordability crisis
Everyone is tired. The times we live have become an age of exhaustion. Overwork, underwork, the cost of living crisis, stress, the end of public healthcare, and a pandemic along with a forever war in Ukraine and a genocide in Gaza have derailed our society. It has left us no time to catch our breath. So we are weary, uncertain, angry and very afraid.

"I was an Autistic psychiatric inpatient: Here’s what I would change in the mental health system "
Autistic people are exposed to inordinately high rates of trauma and mistreatment. It is unsurprising then that a large portion of us develop mental health struggles. Where there are concerns around mental health, there are also issues regarding inpatient treatment, both voluntary and involuntary, under the UK’s Mental Health Act.
