The AfD is flirting with Nazi history – but moral outrage alone won’t stop the far right | Katja Hoyer Coincidence or not, the party has timed its congress for the centenary of an infamous Nazi rally. But condemnation didn’

🇩🇪 Björn Höcke, the leader of the party in Thuringia, has been fined twice for using the Nazi slogan “Everything for Germany” at campaign rallies.

🚨 The AfD are a dangerous reminder of how far-right nationalism can become politically normalised.

Across Europe we must reject the far-right.

Farage - grifting multimillionaire and highest earning MP
Tice - family money multimillionaire
Yusuf - multimillionaire
Jenrick - millionaire
Zahawi - multimillionaire

But they want to cut the National Minimum Wage down from £12.21 per hour. (It goes up 50p in April.)

God, they’re hideous.

“Reform’s plan to scrap net zero won’t take a penny off your energy bills. it’ll just hand your wallet over to the gas giants and markets controlled by dictators like Putin”

MAGA, Putin, Orbán, Bannon, Farage, Reform. All the v worst people colluding to screw us over.

Not sure why Reform announcing they’ll scrap the Equality Act 2010 hasn’t provoked widespread alarm.
They want to torch our human rights framework AND repeal our right to protection from discrimination.
A smile and a shrug on BBC News.
What the hell?
FFS, media. Tell people what this really means.

Dr Paul Martin OBE, the chief executive of the LGBT Foundation, argued that the Equality Act "isn't adding to Britain's challenges - it's part of the solution". "Without it, people would have fewer protections against discrimination in everyday life, from work and healthcare to education and public services," he warned. "Equality isn't a 'nice to have' - it's a foundation for a fairer, stronger and healthier Britain.

Reform: an undeniably racist, misogynistic, transphobic, disability-sceptic party with disturbing links to christofascist MAGA… wants to leave the ECHR and scrap the Equality Act, removing our rights and protections.

“Zia Yusuf, the party's head of policy, told the Times last year that his party would adopt a 'Trump 2.0' approach to immigration, saying: "We are going to move at great speed. It'll be much more like Trump mark two than Trump mark one"

Let Them Eat Cake: While Minneapolis Mourned, Trump Hosted a Melania Gala As protesters froze in the streets after the killing of Alex Pretti, Trump’s elite celebrated a $75 million vanity film—another glimpse of a family governing like royalty.

While Minneapolis mourned a man killed by federal agents, Trump’s elite gathered in black tie to celebrate a Melania vanity film.
This is what a ruling family looks like.
Let them eat cake.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

Braverman is one of the most repulsive politicians out there. Vicious, fascistic, useless, without principle, loyalty or *any* actual genuine success to her name.
Just cheating, lying, letting people down and delivering failure. No wonder she feels she’s “come home” to Reform. It’s a perfect fit.

At least we know that while federal agents are killing people for using cell phones and the country is going to shit, Trump was working hard playing golf, hosting a screening for Melania’s movie, and rage-posting about his ballroom.

The administration, and particularly whoever runs the White House Twitter account, is full of the dumbest people on the planet.

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.

There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.

And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

The Nobel Foundation makes yet another statement:

In 1943 Knut Hamsun gave his medal to Goebbels. History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes.

Here’s to the Nobel committee for posting this bit of history yesterday

Robert Jenrick just last year: "Nigel Farage can't even run a 5-a-side team, so he's not going to be able to run a country."

🚨🇪🇺 Brexit WOW moment 🇪🇺🚨

The Brexitgraph Telegraph published a full-blown obituary for Brexit:

📉 GDP down 8%
📉 Investment down 18%
📉 Productivity down 4%
📉 Employment down 4%
❌ No trade benefits
❌ No regulatory freedom
❌ No upside whatsoever

Do you agree it’s time to end Brexit?

Good question 🎯

"Mr. Farage, you say you're a new reforming force in politics. How can you claim that if - by your own definition - you're bringing in so many people that cause the mess you're trying to clear up?"

Vote for Reform UK and get the very worst of the Tories...

The Nobel Prize Committee makes clear:

"One truth remains. As the Norwegian Nobel Committee states: 'Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others. The decision is final and stands for all time.'"

If Machado was trying to convince Trump that she was a strong leader who could handle Maduro’s thugs while keeping the oil flowing, giving Trump her prize was the exact opposite way to do that. What an epic fail allowing herself to be used like that by the charlatan.

I think it’s basically time to retire the peace prize because it really is meaningless at this point. Another 100+ year-old tradition cheapened, wrecked, and discredited by the gauche garish gangster.

A very embarrassing day for the world

You can’t get the Brexit people voted for because it doesn’t exist. It was a con. A prejudiced, arrogant fantasy created by a cynical campaign of dishonesty.

This is however the relentless, tedious Brexit reality. An ongoing national scandal. A betrayal of a country by its politicians and media.

Is CBS News not capable of performing its own objective analysis of what happened or is the extent of your capability just to unquestioningly parrot soundbites?
