Farage is flagging.

He’s losing councillors and by-elections, and his polling’s plateaued.

But we all need to fight him harder. A month ago I wrote this blog about 10 things you can do to help defeat Farage - keep doing them, it’s working! -

I would argue that ”he knows better β€œ.

The man knows nothing and cares for nothing except himself.

I’ve watched so many programmes about healthcare in the USA and can only conclude that Americans have been brainwashed for many years.
Why would they think that free universal healthcare is a bad thing? πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ
Is it perfect elsewhere? Not always. Is it better? Absolutely. Wake up USA

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

There’s a special place in hell for anyone who can watch this and feel joy.

And for the ones just standing there doing nothing, you’re not much better…

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson β€œyou regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

🀯 Narcissists dodge accountability by blaming, gaslighting, or playing the victim. They use denial, projection, and deflection to keep their self-image intact and twist the narrative, making you question your own reality and memory. They never admit fault.

Opinion | I’m an air traffic controller, working without pay in my third shutdown. There is zero margin for error in our jobs. Showing up to work every day, not knowing when or if you'll be paid, is deeply unsettling.

OPINION by Jack Criss, air traffic controller:

β€œAfter my shift, I don’t go home to rest. I clock into DoorDash, trying to make ends meet for my daughter and me.”
