🚫 Wondering what toxic attachment looks like? Just check out the Trump-Putin dynamic. 😬 Trump vowed to threaten Putin with sanctions but ended up gushing over compliments to Melania and a congrats on his new grandson. 🤦♂️ This kind of toxic bond is dangerous—not just for peace

Thank you ! Mille mercis ! 🍁🍁
Congrats to @bbclysedoucet on the publication of her book 'The Finest Hotel in Kabul'. Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize, it shares a deeply humane history of Afghanistan, told through the eyes of the legendary Canadian journalist, who's covered the country since 1988.

The BBC is under fire for giving Reform UK a shocking 25% of News At Ten coverage, while the Lib Dems (72 MPs) GET A FRACTION. With little policy scrutiny, are we seeing a media bias in favour of Farage? This isn’t journalism; it’s a disgrace!

Right now, Donald Trump is at a lavish banquet at Windsor Castle, while in Gaza a genocide is unfolding. He alone can stop the assault on Gaza City, end the aid blockade and secure the release of hostages - Keir Starmer must make that clear to him before this visit ends.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, can justify this vicious, inhumane treatment of children.
For this poor little child this is his life now. Everyday because of continuous bombing in #Gaza innocent children are suffering. We must speak out. We must make this stop. #FreePalestine

This is just totally horrific and barbaric!
I can't stop thinking about 1 sentence in today's UN report regarding Israel's genocide in Gaza. "Israeli security forces shot at & killed civilians, including children who were holding makeshift white flags. Some children, including toddlers, were shot in the head by snipers.”

😺🍁 As the farces of law and order ‘arrest’ @ByDonkeys for ‘hurty pictures’ … spread it far and spread it wide. Assaulting police horses/ defacing monuments, urinating in Public, frightening the bejeebus out of our muslim friends ~ fine. What a time to be alive! #trumpvisit
Led by Donkeys are absolute Jedis… Word coming out that they’ve been arrested outside Windsor Castle after projecting a film highlighting Trump’s close relationship with world’s most prolific pedophile Jeffrey Epstein onto the walls of the Castle 🔥 👌

Be shocked at this from the New Statesman. ‘Who will rid me of this aging population?’
New Statesman: “Assisted dying would appear to mitigate some of those problems, curbing the pensions bill, the NHS bill and the care bill.”

Yay! My 10 second brood Peacocks all hatched today, having pupated on 26/8/25. All were free of parasitic flies. Final score: Peacocks 10 Parasites 0. They're smaller than the main brood specimens.
