I've never noticed before how the sunlight makes Downing Street take on a blue'ish look.
Some of us even remember Sam Neill from the UK run of the Australian soap, The Sullivans. #r4today
Reform UK Deputy Leader's Dubai based fiancée, Isabel Oakeshott, agrees Nigel Farage's resignation is a stunt.
Brits, we're just silly enough to make this happen. 😄 'Da Establishment' had better not try to deny us what could yet turn out to be the most significant by-election of the year! #UKpolitics #bbcPM
More #BYD electric buses are on their way from China to London. And, they have air conditioning!

Have we gone full circle already? Are the robots are being displaced so soon? 😄
GB News host denies there was rioting in Northern Ireland, and says people's homes being set on fire "is not dramatic". #UKpolitics
America announces plans to steal another country's resources. Can't see an invasion of Kharg Island going too well for the Americans. Trump compares it to Venezuela, but it's not going to be like that at all.

Give it a year or two and there will be prediction market political power indexes for every country. #Enshitification kalshi.com/indices/kpow
