    Sean "P Diddy" Combs is in there, too. Currently under investigation for lots of sex crime and being sued by a Mexican cartel.

    Two items from Planet Trump

    The first is Trump supporters, who have spent the past eight years saying that teacher-slapping Barron is off limits to all comments and jokes, have been dogpiling on Tim Waltz' neurodivergent son Gus after last night at the DNC like the ****s they are. For example...

    Secondly, here's the Orange Overlord in the middle of a performance as staged as his "assassination attempt"

    ...oh, by the way, a few weeks ago Tim Walz stepped in when somebody at a rally had a genuine medical emergency. Hmm, can't think where Trump got the idea...

    Anyway, back to those lovely people who definitely didn't have an agenda when attending a Reginald D Hunter gig and then having their mate on speed dial to give a demonstrably untrue version of events...

    His Secret Service detail don't look particularly animated, do they? Strange, considering recent events...

    Secret Service, or extras?

    No Secret Service agent worth their salt would respond to an assassination attempt by saying "Oh yeah, pop your head up for a photo op when there's an active shooter still about"

    So, of course, he chose Option 1

    Funny how this keeps happening with him and his cabinet, isn't it?

    I don't think they can do this without legislation. And for technical reasons it's not actually sensible because lowering the price cap will put smaller companies out of business without really harming the likes of British Gas. Windfall tax used to rebate the bill is much better.

    So why did their election manifesto say...

    Labour will ensure a much tougher system of regulation that puts consumers first and attracts the investment needed to cut bills. Too much of the burden of the bill is on standing charges and we will work with the regulator to reduce them. We will strengthen the regulator to ensure it can hold companies to account for wrongdoing, require higher standards of performance, and ensure there is automatic customer compensation for failure.

    ...as well as...

    British industry is also held back by high electricity costs, which has often made investing here uncompetitive. Labour’s clean energy mission will drive down those bills, making British businesses internationally competitive while our National Wealth Fund supports the most energy intensive sectors to decarbonise.

    ...if they were unable to do so without legislating for it?

    And that's before pointing out that in six weeks of government they've yanked the winter fuel allowance, which is another one of those "difficult decisions" Rachel Reeves seems to make as if there was no other option that by complete coincidence people predicted and warned about this happening years ago

    All of those policies are sensible and none mention the price cap. The winter fuel allowance gets paid to millionaires so needs reform but not the Reevrs one.

    Meanwhile, on Planet Zionism

    Nice to see that FIFA and UEFA are paying just as much attention as the IOC and European Broadcasting Union...

    RFK Jr has pulled out of running for the Presidency of the US and backed Trump, surprising absolutely nobody.
    He's selectively staying on the ballot where he believes he could hurt the Democrats, though.
    Even more transparent than the hilarious Kanye run last time out.

    He thought he'd nick votes off the Democrats and midwife Trump into the Oval Office

    Then he opened his mouth, and started nicking votes off Trump instead

    And it was entirely predictable, based both upon his political stances and his financial backers.
    He was being pushed relentlessly on right-wing media and using their talking points. Who did they think he was going to appeal to?
