Trump says rising sea levels are “a good thing” because he thinks he would “have more seafront property”: “Isn't that a good thing?”

Such a twaaaat.

‘Irish foreign minister Micheál Martin has said that the pager detonations in Lebanon showed a “wanton disregard” for the lives of civilians, and said it was a “logical conclusion” that Israeli forces were behind the incident. Israel has not claimed responsiblity for the attack, which injured nearly 3,000 people and killed at least 12 people, including two children.

The tánaiste said “The nature of the attack illustrates a wanton disregard for the lives of people because these pagers with explosives put into them went off in public areas and supermarkets and around people going out about their daily lives. It meant that many innocent civilians – men, women and children – were caught up in this.”

PA Media reports that asked if he considered it to be a breach of Geneva conventions rules on indiscriminate attacks, Martin replied: “In my view, yes, absolutely.”’



Lebanon reportedly preparing an emergency complaint to the UN Security Council, stating that the explosions were a “blatant attack on the Lebanese sovereignty, that targeted civilians, not only Hezbollah members”.

Lebanon had already submitted a complaint to UNSC *yesterday morning* about Israeli forces targeting and killing Lebanese firefighters in the south of the country:

Kemi Badenoch claims she 'became working class' after working in McDonald’s

I really really hope the Tories are thick enough to make her leader

I wonder if I become middle class if I start shopping at Waitrose

I do love a Malbec, should I start worrying about VAT on school fees?

Dominic Cummings was paid £140,000-£144,999 in 2020.

Adjusted for inflation, that would be approx £172,000-£179,000 today.

Sue Gray's salary is £170,000.

Here ends today's economics lesson.

If that’s true why has the PM salary not gone up the same with inflation too?

Senior Labour source: “Sue Gray is the only pensioner better off under Labour”

Hand-held radios targeted - Reuters
published at 15:28 British Summer Time

A security source now tells Reuters that hand-held radios have been targeted in the latest attacks in Lebanon.

A source also says Hezbollah bought the radios five months ago, at the same time as the pagers that exploded yesterday.

Keir Starmer has declared more free tickets and gifts than other major party leaders in recent times, with his total now topping £100,000 after recent support for his lifestyle from Labour donor Waheed Alli.

The prime minister has accepted almost 40 sets of free tickets during his time as Labour leader, mostly to football matches but also £4,000 of hospitality at a Taylor Swift concert and £698 of Coldplay tickets in Manchester.

Apparently. But I guess he's not richest in liquidity. 🤷‍♂️

He's had loans and investors for that $44billion to buy twitter.

Jesus... I know it's from wikipedia, but it has citations.

If accurate, this is on another level.

"... On April 20, Musk disclosed that he had secured financing provided by a group of banks led by Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Barclays, MUFG, Société Générale, Mizuho Bank, and BNP Paribas, for a potential tender offer to acquire the company.[27][28] The funding included $7 billion of senior secured bank loans; $6 billion in subordinated debt; $6.25 billion in bank loans to Musk personally, secured by $62.5 billion of his Tesla stock; $20 billion in cash equity from Musk, to be provided by sales of Tesla stock and other assets; and $7.1 billion in equity from 19 independent investors.[29][30][31]....
...The initially proposed $13 billion in money borrowed by Twitter was equivalent to seven times the company's 2022 projected operating cash flow; some banks found that multiple too risky and opted to participate only in the $12.5 billion margin loan to Musk.[32] The debt was estimated to cost Twitter approximately $1 billion in annual interest and fees.[27] Two days after announcing his bid, Musk registered three holding companies under the name "X Holdings" in preparation for his takeover.[33] Tesla shares fell 12 percent on the day after the acquisition was announced, amid smaller declines in the broader markets. Musk incurred a $21 billion paper loss that day.[34]"

He just got a $56bn payday. I think he’s alright.

As for the stupid comment at the top, he’s so ignorant it’s almost laughable.

Never snitch or work with the coppers.

They always, always I tell you, eventually turn on you and fack you in the ass using actual crimes that you committed and actually deserve to get banged up for.
