Iโ€™m a mother of six, and a Mormon. I have a good understanding of arguments surrounding abortion, religious and otherwise. I've been listening to men grandstand about women's reproductive rights, and I'm convinced men actually have zero interest in stopping abortion. Here's whyโ€ฆ

Especially women. We can wake up one day & all our rights will be taken away on a whim but never for men. The Afghan women went to bed one night & woke up the next day as slaves in their own homes & it haunts me everyday.
Just because you have rights today doesnโ€™t mean youโ€™ll have rights tomorrow!!!!!!

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

Now that Israeli interference in the Scottish election has been confirmed (by the French intelligence services) I wonder if everyone blaming this solely on Russia and Iranian bots will care to update their posts?
Why does Scotland have the highest rates of local misinfo on X by a mile?

That same mosque, on the night of the Clutha Vaults helicopter tragedy, opened its doors and gave shelter, food, water and medical attention to the survivors. They're the real Glasgow, not this rabble of racist thugs.

When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called โ€˜Fan ID.โ€™ Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFAโ€™s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days. So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.
Infantino was asked by a BBC journalist if he's embarrassed by what has come to pass and does he accept he's lost control of his tournament here. His response: โ€œin 2035, the Womenโ€™s World Cup, I think, will be in the UK. Would you find it normal that FIFA will dictate to the British government who to let in the country and who not to let in?โ€ #FIFAWorldCup

Why has the BBC got incels writing its headlines? This huge man, already a known stalker, grabbed this young woman by the hair, tried to sit on her, said gross things and tried to force her to kiss him, for 15 minutes until stopped. He absolutely does deserve this sentence.

What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours: โ€ข Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later. โ€ข Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States. โ€ข The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Tรผrkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas. โ€ข Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament. โ€ข The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas. โ€ข Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism. โ€ข The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media. โ€ข Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure. โ€ข Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.

If you are the party of the workers, why did Reform MPs vote against these workers rights.

There is a lot of misinformation floating around about Californiaโ€™s election โ€” including from the President. This explainer is worth a watch. And yes, for the record: we wish the votes were counted faster, too.
Why does California take so long to count ballots? In short, the stateโ€™s leaders have prioritized expanding last minute options to vote by mail over a quick count.

This is your reminder that JD Vance is the lapdog of Peter Thiel, a multi billionaire tech bro whose ideology involves the complete removal of democracy, in favour of a technocracy. This is your reminder that Vance was linked to Georgescu in Romania who was arrested for collusion with Russia. This is your reminder that Nathan Gill, Reformโ€™s leader in Wales, was jailed for ten years for taking Russian bribes. This is your reminder that the British frontman for MAGA is Nigel Farage. This is your reminder that the US government has fallen to authoritarian far right extremism and is openly engaging in foreign interference. This is your warning that tech billionaires are the only dangerous minority that anybody who calls themselves a patriot should be concerned about.

Farage is sick. He's just made an "emergency address" where he exploited the tragic death of a young person, Henry Nowak, to push his hate fuelled agenda and try to deflect from the very serious allegations of bribery and misconduct levelled against him. Farage is scum.
