Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied

The fascist Felon's abuse of power is simply an attempt to exert control, incite violence, stoke fear & keep us from fighting against ICE for their unlawful, shameful, violent acts.

Keep exercising your right to protest, and THANK YOUβ€ΌοΈπŸ™πŸ»πŸ«‘βœŠπŸ»πŸ’™

I hope you’re not waiting for some clever defence of Starmer’s speech. As you know, I try to be fair and have praised him on foreign policy. I don’t think the White Paper is terrible, but ALL of the language surrounding it is inexcusable, insupportable, and indefensible. He can kiss my migrant butt.

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around.

They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.

It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

Trump blames Zelensky for starting war day after massive Russian attack The US president said that you "don't start a war against someone 20 times your size" and hope people give you missiles.

Trump blames Zelensky for starting war after the massive Russian attack on Sumy.

Trump is a traitor working for or collaborating with Putin. Farage is their frog-faced tool.

🚨 🚨 🚨

The Seahawks are trading WR DK Metcalf to the Steelers for premium draft pick compensation, per me and @tompelissero.bsky.social, as finally(!) Pittsburgh gets its big-play weapon.

Metcalf will also get a contract extension to go with the trade.

This is outrageous. I'm sharing in the hope Becky's case is looked, and that someone can help her.

This should be a chilling warning for the rest of Europe. If the US can help Putin kill Ukrainians today, the US can help Putin kill lots of other Europeans tomorrow.

Reform UK have won 0 out of the 6 council by-elections declared from yesterday’s vote.

That means they’ve won just 12 seats from 213 council by-elections since the General Election.

Some DOGE Staffers Are Drawing Six-Figure Government Salaries Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salariesβ€”sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.

WIRED also happened to learn just how much some of the bros inside Elon Musk's DOGE are making (six-figure taxpayer-funded salariesβ€”sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.)

Since 01/1989, Democrats have created 50 million jobs to Republicans 1 million jobs. Dems dominate- 50:1.

And if you adjust this to when the Berlin Wall fell, Republicans have a net loss of jobs. And of the 11 recessions of the modern era, 10 of them have been under Republican presidents.

And of course France although we didn't take part in Iraq war #2...

So Keir Starmer, on a scale of 0 to 10, how special is the relationship between the US and some random country?
