The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Reform UK councillor shared Facebook post saying Labour MP ‘should be shot’ Natalie Fleet MP says politicians should not expect ‘death threats as standard’, as Lancashire councillor apologises

So Reform publicly condones violence now. Even after Farage was so angry at Jo Brand's 'throw acid not milkshake' joke. Is it okay for Reform because it's threatening violence against a Labour MP or is it because it's aimed at a woman? Both probably.

Bear in mind each ICE employee gets a big bonus for every person apprehended, which is why a 65 year-old British tourist with a valid visa was apprehended and kept for weeks in a ‘facility’ ie prison.

Stay away
From the USA
Boycott the World Cup!

Behold America’s Wrecking Crew
Destroying the good, the kind, the true
He doesn’t give a FUG
For you.
There’s one thing only the Trumpmonster know
To gild his arrogant baby
EGO
Who cares where he wants to put his balls
His silly fillies will come when he calls!

It would be in character for Trump to dream up #Alien conspiracies. Interplanetary lizards disguised as humans for example. If there are such creatures certainly he’s one. David Icke would be thrilled.

Ad hominem? It’s about content and character not appearance. Personally I’m old and ugly.

‪What is there between those ears ‬

Hospital today to be invaded by sharp instruments in the trusted hands of strangers. Last time they nearly killed me, which I enjoyed at the time.

It has been fun, humans. Maybe see you on the other side?

It’s overtly racist too and illiterate economically. In the West we have a declining birth rate and a desperate need for workers at all levels

Such a fuss! Keir thought he was doing the right thing appointing a lying traitorous snake as ambassador to Trump. ‘They’ll get on great!’ He said!

Decades of under investment have weakened our schools - and that weakens the whole country.

We need real funding & care for education now.

Here's my conversation with the General Secretary of the National Education Union @danielkebedeneu.bsky.social 👇🏼

Happy 77th to me today?

Who would have thought that I would live to see Fascism on the rise worldwide? Led by people too stupid to take the essential measures to stop climate change?

So far, Trump’s ‘peacemaking’ has caused around 500 deaths in Gaza, countless drone strikes in Ukraine and tens of thousands of deaths in Iran. Not to mention deaths and domestic terror inflicted on his own country.

Strip Mandelson of everything except his underwear. We need to clean out the Augean stables of every corrupt politician. Go, Prince of Darkness, go! And leave your titles behind.

Just like that other ex-prince who shamed the country, family and us all.

There is a sane, sensible moral commitment by some to avoid negative campaigning.
But there are only negative things to say about Reform’s people and policies.

let’s see what happens in the football FIFA World Cup, being held this year in the USA. Will ICE raid matches, deport players and audiences?
