I’m 19 years sober TODAY Can I get a retweet to show anyone struggling that long term recovery from addiction is possible? ❤️

Melody was always at the heart of Cast’s appeal. Released as a single from All Change in 1996, “Sandstorm” combined John Power’s knack for memorable hooks with the band's confident guitar sound, helping cement their place among the leading acts of the Britpop era.

Remember when Nigel Farage cried about what Coutts said about him? And now it looks like it was all true?

Farage, with a very different accent, explaining how to exploit and profit from the very same system that he claimed to rail against. Including using one’s wife to account for financial irregularities. Well, it apparently works when trying to explain away house purchases, eh?

If he was willing to say “Up the RA” for £87, what do you think he’d be willing to do for £5 million?

Marco Rubio says the goal of the war in Iran is now to restore it "back to the way it was" before Trump started the war in Iran

The irony of people attacking free breakfast clubs because ‘parents should work hard to feed their kids,’ when parents use these so they can drop their kids off earlier and then … you guessed it … go to work at the time required by their employer in order to feed their kids.

Pedro Sánchez doesn't mince his words 👀

UB40 on stage at the Together Alliance march, "We were all born in the 1950s, that was the time unions were strong, my dad was a factor worker, and we had the NHS, council houses, and it was a great time for the working class" "We all grew up in inner city Birmingham, it was a melting pot. You could sit on your doorstep and see teh four corners of the world go by" "Members of the band were the first generation of Black British. Their parents came over in the Windrush convoy. We went to school together" "And we remember Enoch Powell's rivers of blood speech" "We remember when the Tories using posters saying: if you want a coloured person as your neighbour, vote Labour" "We also remember the rise of the national front. Policies to force repatriation of people from the Caribbean" "Then we had the rise of the BNP in the 80s and the 90s" "Then we had the spivs and millionaires in UKIP" "And now we've got Reform UK" "Of course they're full of Tories, taking the toxic policies that UKIP had, and the National Front promise of forced repatriation which is what Theresa May did in her government" "Over the years we've visited all kinds of places from America, Australia, Africa" "And one thing we've come to the conclusion of is that working people around the world have more in common with each other than they do with the elites and the billionaire class" "There are more of us than there are of them" "This has been such an amazing turnout, it's absolutely incredible" "In conclusion, I'd like to quote that great political philosopher, Wolfie Smith, and say" "Power to the people" Thank you @UB40OFFICIAL @UKTogetherAll 👏

Taylor: The day that I decided to quit that administration was the day when a mentor of mine from capitol hill had died. His name was John McCain. The flags were at half staff around the country, and the president was trying to call us in Australia on the other side of the world, to say, not put out a statement in honor of John McCain, but to say, raise the flags back up. I don't care if you agreed with John McCain or disagreed. It didn't matter like Bob Mueller, he served this country in uniform. He was a sitting united States senator. He deserved to be honored with the flags at half staff—for the president of the United States to be so petty, so small and petty, to tell us to raise the flags back up in an act of active dishonor, tells you everything you need to know about that man and his lack of integrity and character.

For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.

47 had a conversation with 45.

A must read if you haven’t read it yet.

If we're going to have a debate about Churchill, I trust this will include his racism, his use of the Black & Tans in Ireland and Palestine, sending the army in to break a miners' strike in Wales and a gunboat up the Mersey to intimidate striking dockworkers? Oh and Gallipoli?

Boris Johnson says Keir Starmer has made us an irrelevance on the world stage...

Prophetic scene "You start saddling up camels in every country in the Middle East then you better be prepared to spend the next 50 years sifting through sand because this isn't a quick run on the beach, Jed. This is the new world order."

“Ted, would you like to pretend to be in a shadow cabinet with me?”

And so the sanitising and legitimising of Ratcliffes vile words begins. What I've heard this morning - "He didn't mean it like that" "I understand his sentiment" "He meant good " "He had a point, he just used the wrong words" STOP IT. STOP WHITEWASHING racism and hate.
