Classic doc right now on Trump on UK TV John Bolton - says Trump never read any briefing notes, has the attention span of a fruit fly, and before meeting Putin, Trump asked his advisor ''is Finland in Russia ?''

Georgia set to be a mahoosive clusterfuck

Brad Raffensburger removed from Georgia as Election Official. Remember him ? He was the one Trump was begging and threatening to get 11 000 votes overturned. He is replaced with 3 Election Officials who have the discretion to overturn the Georgia result in favour of Trump. Georgia the cradle of Civil Rights knows all about Voter Suppression....

Looking forward to that. Microphones will be muted. Think @robsblubot is right, it will reveal who is the real senile git

Two women who say they were raped and strangled by the controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate have spoken to the BBC about their experiences. Another woman has alleged, for the first time, she was raped by Mr Tate’s younger brother, Tristan - also an influencer with millions of followers. The Tate brothers, aged 37 and 36, currently face charges in Romania of human trafficking and forming an organised group to sexually exploit women. Andrew Tate is also charged with rape. If found guilty, the two men could be jailed for more than 10 years

A pro-Palestine team in Chile offers football with a dose of protest In a sport where authorities penalise athletes for flaunting political positions, particularly on the Israel-Palestine conflict, Chilean football club Club Deportivo Palestino is an unabashed exception that wears its pro-Palestinian politics on its sleeve – and on its torso, stadium seats and anywhere else it can find. “It’s more than just a club, it takes you into the history of the Palestinians,” says Bryan Carrasco, captain of Club Deportivo Palestino. The club’s brazen gestures have caused offence before. In 2014, Chile’s football federation fined the club after the number “1” on the back of their shirts was shaped like a map of Palestine before Israel’s occupation in 1948. But players’ fierce pride in their Palestinian identity has otherwise caused little controversy in this country of 19 million, home to 500,000 ethnic Palestinians.

Former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney called Donald Trump an “unrecoverable catastrophe” on Sunday and urged fellow Republicans to vote for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in November’s election.

Gaza’s 625,000 school-age children back to school today. Gaza and the occupied West Bank have internationally high literacy levels, and the under-resourced education system was a source of pride among many Palestinians. They wont be going back - 96% of the 307 schools are destroyed. More than 600,000 students, have been deprived of their right to a free and safe education. More than 25,000 children have been killed or injured in Israeli attacks.

Because of the Electoral College, The US Election is Still a Toss-Up. We’ve got a lot to criticise in Britain’s unfair and outdated First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) voting system. America’s system takes the worst elements of FPTP and expands on them, mixing in a bit of 18th century-style bureaucracy for good measure. How does it work? Basically every state (and Washington DC) gets three automatic votes, and then additional votes based on their representation in the House and Senate. The House is at least based on population, but every state gets a flat two Senate seats. That means that California (40 million people) gets the same Senate representation as Wyoming (500k people). What that translates to is an electoral college that does not evenly reflect the core idea of democracy: one person, one vote. But wait – it gets worse. Like in the UK, states are declared on a “winner take-all” basis (with the exception of Maine and Nebraska). It means that if Trump won Texas by a few thousand votes, he’d get all thirty-eight of those electoral votes. Notably, the winner-take-all element was never mentioned in the US constitution – they just chose to do it that way. The result? Few peoples’ votes matter. Voter suppression is easier and more damaging. Third parties don’t stand a chance in hell, and often act only as “spoilers”. Swing-states determine the outcome. Two of the last four US leaders were chosen by a minority of the population. George W. Bush (2004) is the only Republican since 1988 to win the popular vote. For Kamala Harris, who is currently polling ahead of Trump by about 3 points, those swing states will make all of the difference. Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona and North Carolina will determine the next President of the United States. Most of those states are currently polling within the margin of error. Because of the electoral college, this race is a toss-up. Harris will almost certainly win the popular vote. But as we’ve seen here in the UK, America’s jacked-up First-Past-The-Post system doesn’t play fair. That broken mechanism may usher in the end of American democracy itself if Trump rides it to an ill-gotten victory. Both the UK and the US have record levels of distrust and dissatisfaction with politics. They’re both well past due for a democratic update.

Wonder what it could be ? Racking my brains 🤔

Chelsea star Mykhailo Mudryk has the ‘qualities’ to win the Ballon d’Or, according to his Ukraine international teammate Georgiy Sudakov. 🙃Along with...the moon is made of cheese, and I promise not to come in your mouth

Why are Chelsea’s owners locked in a civil war? Todd Boehly is unsure about Chelsea’s recruitment strategy (Picture: Getty) Boehly and Eghbali are believed to have conflicting visions for the future of Chelsea over a number of issues, both on and off the pitch. According to Sky Sports, Boehly is unsure of the current recruitment strategy being implemented by Eghbali. Boehly is also thought to have reservations over the fact that no significant progress has been made on redeveloping Stamford Bridge. So neither of them seem interested in the teams terminal decline into mid table mediocrity - its all about the money for them

Its like the Cold War 'spheres of influence' where The US and CCCP were desperate to dominate South and Central America, Middle East, Africa and South East Asia terrified that there would be a 'domino effect' of countries becoming Socialist. So, as you know the US installed dozens of right wing dictators, death squads, to murder and kill any opposition, trade unions etc all to be US Corporate 'friendly'. I know China and Putin were/are active in Congo so the installing of this puppet is it a one off, or are there others ?

Social media owners are in essence publishers. If you or I published hate speech - which Elon Musk (Lone Skum) good anagram btw and Fuckerberg seem to allow we'd be prosecuted. They are responsible for ongoing violence, deaths and misogyny and people aspiring to something they will never be

Lying piece of shit -he was part of the problem and financially benefited from it

Adnani has appeared at least twice on former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, and on one occasion told him that his ambition was to achieve “full spectrum energy dominance”. Headquartered in a serviced office building in Sevenoaks, Better Earth describes itself as an “energy transition company”. Its website, which is currently under construction, says it will “work directly with national governments and regions that are seeking both inward investment and/or to reduce their emissions ahead of 2030”. The apparent lack of transparency extends beyond the nature of the firm’s clients: the company no longer has a person of significant control registered at Companies House. The initial filing states that its single share is owned by another company called “Emissions Reduction Corp” registered in Carson City, Nevada. US company searches reveal the firm was previously called Carbon Royalty Corporation, a Delaware-based company whose directors include Adnani and Nicole Shanahan, who was until recently Robert F Kennedy Jr’s running mate in his campaign for US president before he endorsed Trump. Delaware is a “dark” jurisdiction but sources suggest Carbon Royalty Corporation has raised $40m since it was incorporated in 2021 and its investors appear “undisclosed”, although this is not illegal. Baroness Margaret Hodge, the former Labour MP who led parliament’s Public Accounts Committee from 2010-2015 said there were “at least four very serious public interest questions” to be answered about the appointment. “What on earth is an ex-prime minister of the United Kingdom doing, working for a company with an opaque structure? In my experience those who choose to have a UK company owned by a foreign entity only do that because they may have something to hide. What is it in this case? Given the sensitivities around nuclear capabilities we should know who he is in business with, where the money is coming from and why he is using a financial structure that appears to hide the beneficial ownership of the company.” Better Earth, Amir Adnani and Boris Johnson declined to respond to the Observer’s inquiries about Better Earth’s line of work, funding or any other matters. The appointment also raises further question marks over Johnson’s relationship with Baroness Owen, a previously unknown junior political adviser who had worked for a matter of months with Johnson at Number 10. Her appointment to the Lords, where she took the title Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge in July last year, became the subject of intense speculation. With just a few years’ job experience under her belt, she now holds the position for life. In her maiden speech in November last year, she thanked Johnson for “putting a great deal of trust in me”. That trust has now been extended to a senior role in his new company, Better Earth, though her role has also not been widely publicised. She recently updated her House of Lords page to note that she has a paid position as “Vice President, Better Earth Limited (energy transition company)” though she does not appear on the company’s website, X feed or LinkedIn page. Former Boris Johnson aide joins Lords as youngest ever life peer Owen mentioned climate only briefly in her maiden speech earlier this year, preferring to showcase her interest in technology, and has no previous employment experience in environmental, nuclear, or green issues. She declined to answer any of the Observer’s questions about her role. Owen joins two other former Conservative ministers at the firm: Chris Skidmore, who resigned the whip and the party over Rishi Sunak’s oil and gas plan, is Better Earth’s COO, while Nigel Adams, a Johnson ally and former minister without portfolio, is CEO. There is no suggestion that either Skidmore or Adams were in breach of transparency rules. Before Johnson became a director of Better Earth in May this year, he wrote to Acoba, the government watchdog, alerting them to the appointment. This came during the same period Acoba had accused him of refusing to answer its questions about whom he’d met as a consultant on behalf of a hedge fund, Merlyn Advisors, during a trip to Venezuela. The incident led the committee’s chairman, Eric Pickles, to warn that Johnson’s behaviour had proved its rules were “unenforceable”. Like Trump he puts money and pussy as top priorities

Boris Johnson failed to disclose that he met a uranium lobbyist while prime minister before entering into a new business with a controversial Iranian-Canadian uranium entrepreneur, the Observer can reveal. Johnson’s new company Better Earth Limited also employs Charlotte Owen, a junior aide with just a few years work experience whom he elevated to the House of Lords last year at the age of 29, sparking intense controversy. Transparency campaigners say there appear to be “serious public interest questions to be answered” over the nature and timeline of Johnson’s relationship with his co-director, Amir Adnani, the founder, president and CEO of Uranium Energy Corp, a US-based mining and exploration company, championed by former Trump advisor Steve Bannon. Amir Adnani, a Canadian citizen who is the director of a network of offshore companies based in the British Virgin Islands, incorporated Better Earth in December last year. On 1 May, Companies House filings reveal, “The Rt Hon Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson” was added as a director and co-chairman. And this summer, Charlotte Owen – now Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge – joined the company to work alongside him as its vice president. Times So that will be his next armpit hes sniffing, another young filly, who he will impregnate with his caffeine polluted carbohydrate heavy Etonian sperm to add to his fourteen kids from different women.....

Yup clues in the name Declan Rice about as English as Paddy O Reilly

Once i was in the market square at Pirraeus -it was the time of Stavros Poppadapadapadapoulis when there was a socialist uprising. On my mind was 'If a man gives you a glass of water, do you ask for bacon ?' It is a problem for brexiters and the commies, but for me it was simple - you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it do backstroke, esprcially in a recession. The water is full of migrants that are Erdogan spies, but most are commie agitators that drink champagne and the horse vomitted. That is not climate change

The working relationship between the most important people at Chelsea is understood to have broken down beyond repair. Boehly believes he can get together more than £2.5billion in order to buy out Clearlake’s Eghbali and Jose E Feliciano. He is determined to see through his long-term plans for Chelsea, which include building a new stadium, and wants rid of his fellow investors Torygraph

Fire services in England dealt with nearly 25,000 wildfires this summer, almost four times that recorded over the same period in 2021, figures show. Some forces tackled more than 50 wildfires a day amid droughts and record-breaking temperatures of more than 40C. More than 800 wildfires were recorded on 19 July alone.
