To convince, you need to persuade, and to persuade you need something you lack: reason and right in the struggle Unamuno attrib. confronting fascist general University of Salamanca, 1939. Of the Left.

Starmer said he didn’t know about Mandelson & Epstein. But documents released today show that he did know. He was told very clearly. Starmer has lied & misrepresented what he knew & when to the public & parliament. Starmer should resign now.

First they came for Laurence Fox...

And I said:

"He's burning rainbow flags in the garden.
Do you fancy a brew before you take him away?".

Tories in utter confusion over joining or not joining the US over Iran. Time for a coherent leader.

The Government wants to remove jury trials so it can declare everyone who protests against it GUILTY.

Without a jury being able to tell them no.

That is the ONLY reason for getting rid of Jury Trials.

It's what fascists do, but who would have thought that Labour of all parties would do it. I'm certain if the Tories were in power and suggested this, Labour would be screaming fascism from the rooftops.

We need proportional representation 💯

Little chance of that with Labour government 🤏🏻

We most vote for politicians who support it 👍🏻

Green, Lib Dem, SNP, Plaid Cymru, or Labour MPs who support it too ☝🏻

Do that well in 2029, speak truth on Reform in the meantime and we have a good chance 🙏🏻

Robert Jenrick this morning: "Reform is not a party for war"

Nigel Farage a week ago: "I'm normally incredibly nervous about intervening in foreign wars. I believe this is the right one"

What Reform says vs what Reform does — today’s pick:

Promised council tax cuts to win elections.
Every single Reform council raised it.
When Nigel Farage was confronted with his own leaflets, proving the promise, his response:
“Wrong, wrong, wrong.”

No explanation.
No apology.
No accountability
👇🤷‍♀️

Utterly disgraceful Starmer.

Come November you will parade yourself in front of the cenotaph and talk about honour, pride and the sacrifices our veterans made.

The reality: You treat them appallingly, kicking the can down the road whilst waiting for many more to die without ever receiving justice.

I don't think anyone ever said the House of Lords was democratic. It is now moving closer to a system of pure generational patronage, which is an improvement of sorts. But CoE bishops still get to contribute and vote in the HoL. Ending that anomaly surely must be the next reform.

Who do they represent? Themselves.

Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman missed NINE votes in Parliament last night, all because they had a more important Reform UK rally on the Isle of Wight.

They think they are too big to do their job.

Don't forget that despite being busy bombing Iranian and Lebanese schools and hospitals, Israel hasn't stopped their genocide of the Palestinian people. Yesterday they killed journalist Amal Shamali while they were firebombing tents housing displaced people in central Gaza. Her daughter saw her die.

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

When a US missile killed 160 children, president shits-a-lot claimed Iran stole the missile and fired at the school. When asked why he was the only one making this claim, he said "because I just don't know enough about it".
Go ahead. See if you can make this make sense.

Has anyone pointed out to ICE agents that if they're arresting people solely to collect a bonus, they're not law enforcement officers. They're bounty hunters.

I look forward to all of them losing their jobs and being blacklisted from serving in law enforcement.
