https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cly9rlj94x1t# There was a by-election held in Caerphilly, Wales yesterday. A solidly Labour area for over a century, the Labour (and Tory) vote absolutely collapsed, and the contest became a two-horse race between far-right Reform party and Plaid Cymru, the Welsh...

@LordGigaIce oddly, your images appear on iPhone, but not my Mac. Or any other desktop computer. (Thanks anyway for not using Imgur.)

Honestly, as someone from outside the US, it’s good that so many people turned out to protest, even if (and I agree) such protests can change almost nothing materially at this point. The optics of seeing footage of the US population resisting rather than lying down and acquiescing, I can’t...

TBH, I only ever watched the tail end of Armada because we (in the UK) got those episodes earlier than the States for some reason, and the novelty of getting televisual Transformers content before North America was too much to miss.* For me was unchallenging morning viewing before catching the...

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz6946ez6dqo.amp So the candidate from the party in power has to pull out of the Irish presidential election because it came out he was a bad landlord who still owed thousands of Euros to a former tenant. Imagine a world where bad landlords were more widely...
