ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Farage vows to scrap indefinite leave to remain, placing thousands at risk of deportation Reform UK plans to force non-citizens to apply for visas, with high salary thresholds and no access to NHS services

First they came for the immigrants. Then they came for people here legally. Next they came for everyone with a brown face. We all know how this ends.
Reform is a fascist party.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Especially as the MPs have so far been drawn from the more extreme part of the party.

Great to see a party leader talking to people at street level. Great to hear truths being spoken about the lies and distractions of the far-right. People ARE angry. But the deeper you dig, the clearer it becomes that their frustration has to do with issues of social justice rather than foreigners.

Nigel Farage is the biggest charlatan in British political history.

And here's what his constitutents in Clacton really think:

Where are the red Make America Great Again hats out in the fields? You know, the same people who swore immigrants were “taking their jobs.”

Keep snatching hard-working folks who are just trying to support their families and don’t be shocked when this becomes the new norm.

Is that the same Boris Johnson who partied with the son of a KGB agent agent after a briefing about the Salisbury poisonings and then put the same guy into the House of Lords against security guidance?

Boris Johnson arguing for the sovereignty of Ukraine which wants to join the EU: to grow and be safer and enjoy freedom of movement

While weakening the sovereignty of the UK and making us poorer by taking us outside the EU with Brexit

In case you haven’t worked it out yet, Americans, Nigel Farage is a lying grifter who shouldn’t be trusted as far as you can throw Trump Tower.

FOX: Are you for any green energy personally?

ZELDIN: Uh, well, I am for whatever President Trump is advocating for.

Colorado Secretary of State:

Fkn lying devious c*nt.

The survival story of this Ukrainian soldier that shocked everyone.

"If infidelity is committed by Mr. Kelce, Ms Swift reserves right to buy the Kansas City Chiefs and rename them 'The Kansas City Travis Haters.' Mr. Kelce is still required to complete his contract with the then Kansas City Travis Haters"

Daily Telegraph today refers to A Rayner’s property “empire”. Whatever you think of her housing arrangements, I don’t think constituency house (bought for 375k in 2016), house in Hove, plus use of ministerial flat in London is an “empire”. Duke of Westminster wont fear a rival!

The Royal Family own 250,000 acres including at least 12 grand palaces and large country estates.

Funny. Never seen the Telegraph get sniffy about that. Seems like more of a target.

If your concern is that a white person who pleaded guilty received a sentence within the guidelines maybe you *want* two tier justice.

Is it because it’s not McDonald’s? 🍔

"Erupt across UK" is a crazily inaccurate ITV news headline for a patchy smattering of protests eg 150-250 people in Orpington, Horley & Cheshunt; a peak yesterday 300 in Mold; & outnumbered by counterprotests in Liverpool, Bristol and Perth

ITV should report accurately, not invent "erupts"

Exclusive: US diplomats asked if non-whites qualify for Trump refugee program for South Africans In early July, the top official at the U.S. embassy in South Africa reached out to Washington asking for clarification on a contentious U.S. policy: could non-whites apply for a refugee program geared toward white South Africans if they met other requirements?

Secret service swarms the Cotswolds for £5m wedding of Eve Jobs The Apple heiress and showjumper Harry Charles will marry in a lavish ceremony this weekend, with Elton John expected to perform

Everything about this obnoxious. Five million quid on a wedding, shutting down a chunk of the Cotswolds, wankers arguing with traffic wardens, people not being able to go into the church. www.thetimes.com/life-style/c...

Labour mistakenly seem to think that the way to fight the far-right is to become more like them.
They could be more wrong.
Good luck Zack!

Gotta admire Corbyn's relentless ambition. It's not enough to have played his part in delivering Brexit and Boris Johnson, he wants the accomplishment of a Farage premiership before he's done.

Interesting.
