Trump, July 19: "All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED. It would take years to bring them back into service."

Witkoff, Sunday: "They're probably a week away from having industrial-grade bomb-making material."

Fuck Mike Huckabee too.

To stop the audience escaping?

Reform UK has today unveiled Donald Trump-style ICE plans.

In the meantime UK news shows continue to fail to call out Reform UK leader Nigel Farage’s completely untrue claims.

If UK media can’t get the job done let’s do it ourselves

Farage - "Nobody over the last quarter of a century has done more to defeat the far-right than me."

Also Farage -

So the previous strikes didn’t “totally obliterate” their nuclear capability then?

The same lies and propaganda over and over

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

Opinion | What Exactly Is a ‘Concentration Camp’?

"Always, always, always concentration camps are an end run around the existing legal system. These people that are getting rounded up because whoever’s in power wants to do something that they can’t do using the letter of the law..."

Why the BBC increasingly looks like Geebeebies.

🥓 John McAndrew: ex-GB News editorial director, now BBC Director of News Programmes.

🥓 Robbie Gibb: GB News adviser, now on the BBC board and editorial standards committee.

Lisa Nandy said she’d end political appointments – what's she waiting for?

Alt text: Side-by-side images of two men. On the left is a mugshot-style photo of a young white man. On the right is Judge James B. Gosnell Jr. wearing a black judicial robe speaking in a courtroom. Text across the bottom states that a conservative South Carolina judge, previously reprimanded for using a racial slur and referring to Dylann Roof’s family as “victims” after the Charleston church shooting, has been arrested for possession of child sex abuse images.

It’s another conservative pervert and pedophile! 😡 Judge James B. Gosnell Jr. who got reprimanded for using the N-slur and calling Dylann Roof's family "victims" right after that monster killed 9 Black churchgoers—has finally been arrested for possessing child sex abuse images.

STOP THE BOATS!

Imagine if HEALTHCARE WAS FREE in America, as it is in Greenland. Just imagine. 🇺🇸🇬🇱

*30%* ffs. I wonder what that figure would be by now if our media weren’t still almost exclusively populated by intellectually indolent wankers too pompous to admit that they never had the first idea what they were encouraging everyone else to vote for. (With a side of plums who deployed ‘balance’.)

We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

Who's the billionaire behind London’s biggest mass eviction? He's the London philanthropist who says he's committed to solving homelessness. So why is Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital rushing to make hundreds of Londoners homeless in the coming weeks?

Reform UK’s Matt Goodwin faced GB News complaint over colleague’s claim of ‘inappropriate comments’ Exclusive: Nigel Farage understood to have known of grievance against byelection candidate, whose lawyer described it as resolved ‘minor workplace matter’ of miscommunication

“Farage…decided the complaint was not serious enough to warrant a rethink about Goodwin’s selection…
[He]characterised the complaint as “just Matt being Matt”

Hmm. Not sure a pair of misogynists are the best people to judge what’s “serious enough”.
Let’s ask her.

Disingenuous obfuscation from a racist liar. Otherwise known as bullshittery!
