The people of Iran deserve freedom, dignity, and the right to decide their own future.

Even if we know this will be fraught with danger and instability during and after the war.

Can we STOP with this β€˜special relationship’ BS

And also…can we wake up to the treachery of our right wing press?!

Bad Enoch β€œPM has not been focused on global issues”

Fortnight ago β€œPM too interested in global issues”

Bad Enoch = Always a bumhole

Completely clueless by choice
Screeching gobshite by choice

So wish there was a half decent official opposition instead of her incessant meaningless noise

Whoever from Badenoch’s operation is briefing this clearly thinks their own voters are thick as mince. Priti Patel has to be moved because she β€œreminds voters of record levels of immigration” when she was Home Secretary? Chris Philp has done a good job β€œwrapping himself in the Union flag”?

I thought the best person to talk to Laura Kuenssberg about the important moral and ethical issues of the day would be Robert Jenrick, the man who overruled a planning decision to save a billionaire pornographer Β£45m in exchange for a Β£12,000 donation.

Councillor Chris Large's departure from Reform a mystery Neither Reform UK or Chris Large have commented on why he is no longer a member of the party.

Apart from the face we exposed him as supporting racist supporters on his TikTok, and then he lied about being hacked…

Farage misses out on Trump meeting as their relationship cools British populist politician aimed to reinforce his view about the UK’s Chagos Islands deal in conversation with US president

Nigel Farage made a huge thing about going to the US, about his relationship with Trump. About Chagos.

But he didn’t meet Trump. He was shut out.

Meanwhile he’s furiously backpedaling on his Iran position because of the polls.

The weasel has no power.

You are indulging in conspiracy theory.
There’s no one else in Trumps circle who can get away with what he does.

It may turn out as you imagine, but we’re not there yet.

Ukraine still relies on Starlink, Europe relies on US military infrastructure, and all of us rely on US trade for our economy

Farage had given the impression that he expected to see Trump, telling an event hosted in opposition to UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's proposed Chagos Islands agreement with Mauritius that the president "has almost understood the deal... but I'll be dining at Mar-a-Lago tomorrow night and I will reinforce the message".
But, rather than receiving a formal invite to meet Trump, Farage was in fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a member of the club, according to multiple people briefed on the matter.

β€œFarage’s relationship with Trump has cooled”

Not really.
Farage’s relationship with Trump is a one-sided humiliation-fest.
Farage remains desperately needy and willing to sell us out to Trump. But Trump doesn’t see him as important right now.

It will never not fustrate me that the Tories havent faced any consequences for how they systematically underfunded our forces - all while claiming to be a party serious about defense.

And now they want us to get involved in a random, pointless war, shredding what little equipment we have.

He doesn't even mention Starmer or the UK, so why frame is as though he's calling him out. Not the case.

He literally is the Farage of the left, just a populist who is saying what he thinks people want to hear. instead of slating everyone else, I want to hear what he would do, what the consequences would be if he did/didn’t do it, you know the actual reasoning required when in power.

Private jet used for Nigel Farage Chagos stunt linked to Reform mega-donor Exclusive: Plane that flew Reform leader to Maldives appears to be linked to billionaire Christopher Harborne

Billionaires should be limited in their influence on political parties

Indeed there should be maximum financial limits set on all political donations

Money should be used to buy
