This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

"Scottish Water chief blasted for downplaying sewage on beaches as faeces found in seawater." Would Alex Plant, CEO of Scottish Water be the same Alex Plant who was Director of Strategy and Regulation at Anglian Water? Of course it would. Clearly took everything he learned at

The internet shutdown in Afghanistan happened in real time in my online poetry class on Monday. The women's accounts dropped out one by one. The last to go was Neda. Just before her image froze, I promised to put her poem on Twitter. She's 11. Online was her last hope of

In the first image, you see an Australian MP wearing a burqa in Parliament to debate banning the burqa for women. In the second image, it’s me and my friend, two women who have actually lived under the reality of forced burqas and hijabs imposed by the Taliban and the Islamic

Religious ideologies have no place in dictating how farm animals should be slaughtered, only the most humane method should be used in keeping with the highest welfare standards.

Call me controversial but I think it's pretty decent of Nigel Farage to provide a home to a lot of washed up, failed Conservative former MPs. Like a care home but with wall to wall BBC coverage to make them still feel relevant

History lesson for Trump: In 1939, Churchill asked America for help to fight the Nazis. America refused. Churchill continued to ask in 1940 & 1941 as Europe fell. Not until Pearl Harbour did America jon Britain in WW2. *Then they leased us food & armaments*. We paid until 2006.

A man who lives in New York with a holiday home in London and has no ability to vote in Scotland, tell the people living Scotland how they should live. Imagine if that was someone who was pro U.K., the nationalist outrage would be off the charts

For those who are bumping their gums about the new banknote designs and hysterically seeing it as the fall of the British empire perhaps they’d like to know that this was subject to consultation with the public last year about themes people would like. And here are the results.

All hail @emmabarnett that was the best episode of "Defend the Indefensible" in years. Fool one prime minister shame on you, fool two shame on the PM, fooling a third just shows incompetence.

Robert Mueller died last night. He was 81 years old. He had a wife who loved him for sixty years. He had two daughters, one of whom he met for the first time in Hawaii, in 1969, on a few hours of military leave, before he got back on the plane and returned to Vietnam. He had

Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.

Absolute humiliation for the White House. CNN's top journalist Christiane Amanpour confirms Russia just completely shattered the US naval blockade on Cuba. Putin sent a massive oil tanker right through America's backyard and Trump did absolutely nothing.
