That would be criminal.

“Can [a person] be expected to be honest when their poverty is punished as harshly as their dishonesty?”

Oooh, nicely put Moses Mendelssohn.

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

Fake news … 4-2

Blue Labour is Reform Lite. Self-serving fools in the pay of billionaires. They will point at any minority as the problem to try and win votes.

Starmer will blame immigrants. And the last Government.

Glasman and McSweeney are more than odd.

You have to question Starmer’s judgement in making them his bedfellows.

“Immigration has been tearing the Labour leadership apart”

Starmer logic

- immigration is polarising society
- let’s all hate immigrants and then the polarisation will be gone

He seems utterly incapable of standing up for what is right. A bit of a bumbling Neville Chamberlain.

👏👏👏

I felt like this needed reposting today. For reasons...

At last, an explanation of the phenomenon of being “gun happy”…

He’s pissed all over Britain in the past and made money from it…

'London is world's best city - people claiming it's lawless hate its success' 'The fact that London has again been crowned greatest city in the world disproves everything our critics claim, and they can’t stand it', the London Mayor Sadiq Khan writes

Mayor Khan rejecting the racist undertones (and sometimes overtones) of the rhetorical attacks on London today.

It remains a fantastic city and it's safer in many ways than it has been for decades.

The fact it's led by a liberal Muslim means parts of the Right simply cannot accept it succeeding.

There is a complete lack of understanding of British history in Britain. I was taught to the Tudors (with a notable absence of any mention of Henry VIII's Irish Plantations) and then straight to the Industrial Revolution (and no one asked where the cash for that had come from). Slavery missing!

These are very much the behaviours of regimes that I am not sure Starmer would welcome comparison with. Shame on him.

Priorities.

‘We’re proud to be pioneers’: inside Spain’s community energy revolution From Taradell to Galicia, cooperatives are supplying cheap, clean electricity to homes and helping tackle fuel poverty

THIS IS THE WAY

Of course you know why a private market in health care is so bad for health.

The best way to make money is to sell a drug that relieves the symptoms of, but does not cure, a very uncomfortable chronic condition.

The worst way to make money is to prevent illness through social change.

Late to this, but if the Sunday Times is correct that Morgan McSweeney spent one and a half hours last week with Lord Glasman then he isn't fit to fill any senior position in government.

Everything Starmer and McSweeney are doing are hastening their demise. I can only conclude that they want out quickly. Utterly self-defeating. Embarrassed to have voted for these hateful clowns.

“Climate change is already biting.”

The outgoing Broads Authority chief, Dr John Packman, warns Norfolk’s wetlands can’t be saved by resisting the sea.

These lunatics are ruining asylum!

Trump pulling out all the stops to welcome Saudi crown prince for first White House visit since Khashoggi killing | CNN Politics President Donald Trump is planning to receive Saudi Arabia’s powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House this week with all the trappings of a state visit, sources familiar with the m...

Someone please explain to me how every single major media report about Trump and MBS does not start with an explicit statement that the two men are now officially business associates in multiple Trump Organization developments in Saudi Arabia, making any meeting about profit as much as anything else

Statistically, you are more likely to win if Trump backs your opponent. Not quite the threat the corrupt, dishonest Orange windbag thinks it is!

Have the Epstein files been stolen by Venezuela? Is our Orange Hero going to liberate them?

This one will distract no one!

Funny, how MAGA is *outraged* over someone who is simply a Muslim in the New York City mayor's mansion, but has no comment about a Muslim who is an actual murderer in the White House.

Now there is a Tapp that needs to be turned off…

Labour's MP for Folkestone says the government has taken "the wrong turning" on its plans for asylum seekers.

"The rhetoric around these reforms encourages the same culture of divisiveness that sees racism and abuse growing in our communities."
