This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

🍁 Is all of this truly necessary to become a leader and gain influence? Why are they the ones ruling this world? 🤔

Iran’s latest AI Lego video marks a significant pivot. Instead of taunting the US military, it reflects a new chapter in which Tehran will seek peace by reaching out directly to the American people, bypassing the US government. It's a mirror image of the US strategy of the past decades.
Some of the lines are quite noteworthy and will likely resonate with the anti-establishment sentiments prevailing among American youth in particular:
"I love the constitution, the way it was meant. But not the way your leaders bypass consent..."

Hey @Morrisons I will never buy ONE thing from you ever again unless this guy, trying to stop shoplifting, is reinstated.
RETWEET IF YOU AGREE
A Morrisons store manager says his life has been completely 'devastated' after he was sacked for confronting a repeated shoplifter.
Sean Egan - who had worked in the Aldridge Morrisons in the West Midlands for 29 years - was escorting the shoplifter out of the store when the thief turned aggressive.

The worst people are calling Tommy Robinson a hero.
He’s a racist, a fraudster, and a thug.
He was never jailed for speaking about Islam.
He went to prison for mortgage fraud, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, contempt of court, and hooliganism and violence.
Farage talking rubbish as usual! – at Oldham, England
Jesus fucking Christ.
The man who claims he represents the working man wants him worked to death with no time left for anything else.
What an absolute fraud Farage is.

Statement from the Premier of Greenland 🇬🇱
6:55pm local time:
“🇬🇱 We have been a close and loyal friend of the United States for generations. We have stood shoulder to shoulder in difficult times. We have taken responsibility for security in the North Atlantic — and not least for North America. That is what true friends do.
Precisely for that reason, the current and repeated rhetoric coming from the United States is entirely unacceptable.
When the President of the United States speaks of “needing Greenland” and links us to Venezuela and military intervention, it is not only wrong. It is disrespectful.
Our country is not an object in great-power rhetoric. We are a people. A country. A democracy. That must be respected — especially by close and loyal friends.
We are part of NATO, and we are fully aware of our country’s strategic location. We also understand that our security depends on good friends and strong alliances. In that context, a respectful and loyal relationship with the United States is very important. That has been the case for decades.
But alliances are built on trust. And trust requires respect.
Threats, pressure, and talk of annexation have no place between friends. That is not how one speaks to a people who have repeatedly demonstrated responsibility, stability, and loyalty.
Enough is enough.
No more pressure.
No more insinuations.
No more fantasies of annexation.
We are open to dialogue. We are open to conversations. But they must take place through the proper channels and in full respect of international law. And the proper channels are not random and disrespectful posts on social media.
Greenland is our home and our territory.
And it will remain so. 🇬🇱”

The people getting angry about gender neutral toilets have clearly never been on a train.
Or a plane.
Or many cafes and pubs.
Or a ferry.
Or a house.
Or their house.
Or a friend house.
Or many single cubical toilets.

For the next four weeks, we are lifting the 9.30am rule on older and disabled people’s bus passes.
We hope it will help people over the summer as well as provide valuable data on whether we have the capacity and finances to make it permanent.
Please help spread the word! 🙏🏻

Yesterday we caught up with Red 10 Squadron Leader Graeme Muscat to ask him about being part of the Red Arrows and displaying at the Wales Airshow!
Don’t forget, the @rafredarrows are kicking off today’s action at 12pm!
Loved @rafredarrows at @walesairshow Saturday and Sunday, Great Weekend.

When we see tomorrow, that odious, vile, convicted felon, right wing fascist inaugurated as president of the US, let us be more thankful than ever that this genuine human being is our Prime Minister. 🌹🌹

BREAKING: Reports are growing that Trump is irate over people seeing Elon Musk as the real president.
Trump would HATE it if this photo went viral.

There once was a far right pri*k
Who got hit on the head with a brick
As he turned to the lads
He took one in the nads
And limped away nursing his di*k

The disaster of water privatisation in numbers:
£78,000,000,000: Dividend payments to shareholders.
3,600,000: Hours of sewage discharged into our rivers and seas last year.
21%: Water bill price hike announced today.
It's time for public ownership.

It’s a landslide! Thank you all for your support over the past 4 yrs. Political accountability doesn’t stop with a Labour govt, I’ll keep talking about politics as long as you listen, plus we have the far right to resist. I’m going hard. They can try to sue but I’m broke so, ha!
