An important reminder

Watching how swiftly other countries have moved on people implicated in the Epstein files as our POTUS & most of his cabinet just shrug & persist really underscores how far we’ve fallen as a country…not the good guys anymore. At least not until our government is disinfected of this Trumpian filth.

The Green Party's Caroline Lucas humiliates Reform UK's Zia Yusuf on #Newsnight

"Your position is utterly incoherent"

"You have provided no evidence that it's the Equalities Act that discriminates against white working class boys"

Tell you what Jim.

If the UK has been colonised by migrants, come back, pay your fucking taxes and support the country you purport to love.

No? What’s that? You’re happy in Monaco where they don’t impose personal taxes on their residents?

Funny that.

Tax dodging, unpatriotic racist.

I asked Attorney General Pam Bondi whether she would create a federal-state-local task force to investigate the horrific abuses perpetrated through Jeffrey Epstein's human trafficking ring.

Her prolonged response: *crickets*

‘Jim Ratcliffe has moved to Monaco to save £4 billion worth of tax in this country one might question whether he is the patriot we need to comment on this issue'

Home Office minister Jake Richards speaks to #BBCBreakfast Ratcliffe claimed UK had been "colonised by immigrants"

The grief I had from one teacher when I was around 9 or 10 as she'd hit my knuckles with a ruler. I became ambidextrous for that year but would still revert to using my left hand when home!

Does anyone else long for the days when political journalism was about reportage and analysis rather than endless tittle-tattle and trying to shift public opinion?

I don't do party politics on here and you can have your own opinion of Starmer - good or bad - but what is undeniably the case is that Westminster journalists became massively invested in a hyped-up narrative of their own devising and debased political commentary in so doing.

Dear Patricia Clegg

(the lady from the Reform letter)

You say your energy bills are rising - do you think the fossil fuel‑linked lads at Reform are going to fix that?

You mention food costing more - wild thought, but does Brexit, supply chains, and red tape ring any bells?

Trump posted something blatantly racist? What a surprise | Arwa Mahdawi The Obama video should take a toll on the president’s political career – but of course it won’t

Absolutely

BREAKING: Gordon Brown defends Keir Starmer

"I can look in his eyes and see he is a man of integrity.

"He wants to do the right things. Perhaps he has been too slow to do the right things. But he must do the right things now.

"Lets judge what he does"

Reform faces police investigation after distributing letters from ‘concerned neighbour’ in byelection campaign Material did not have legally obligatory imprint clarifying that it was funded and distributed by political party Reform UK will face a police investigation in Gorton and Denton after admitting that it sent out letters from a “concerned neighbour” which did not state that they had been distributed and funded by the party. Greater Manchester police confirmed it had received a report about the breach of electoral law and said it would investigate. The Electoral Commission said the omission was a matter for the police, stressing that failing “to include an imprint in candidate election material is an offence.” Continue reading...

Sounds like a plan.

Can the EU formally investigate Nigel’s ties to Russia too please?

KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo---

TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

🚨TRUMP MELTS DOWN AT KAITLAN COLLINS

Trump lost it when CNN reporter
Kaitlan Collins asked him an Epstein related question.

It’s the Epstein files deja vu: how many more powerful men knew about his crimes, and helped him out anyway? | Marina Hyde I’m sorry, but this is not just a political scandal. Time to refocus on the horrific mistreatment of women and girls, and the role of these ghouls, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Nigel Farage once vehemently believed that defections should trigger by-elections…

I challenged Reform’s Andrea Jenkyns on his now opposite stance

And this was the state of her response…

Epstein, Trump, Musk & the silence of self-appointed ‘protectors’ of ‘our girls’. tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

So Trump came up when I was debating with Andrea Jenkyns of Reform…

And unbelievably she almost walked off the show.

Me:

“What about the fact that Trump was found guilty in a civil court for sexual abuse…was that not enough for you to withdraw your support?”

Now listen to the response from Andrea Jenkyns of the Reform Party…

Let's ask the question: How many times do the following people show up being named in the Epstein Files:

President Joe Biden: 0
President Barack Obama: 0
MN Governor Tim Walz: 0

President Donald Trump: 4,500

Does any Republican not see the problem?

One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world…

And the usual voices who claim to care about ‘women and girls’ have nothing to say.

We see you.

Suella makes the ultimate sacrifice as she ditches Tories for Reform | John Crace Most of those at Monday’s event had to remind themselves that Braverman hadn’t defected long ago

Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all;
her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanity… and her deep stupidity.
How dare these utter arses think we’d be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense.

Ground rent cap is good news (though peppercorn would be better straight away). Also welcome is promised abolition of new leasehold properties. Better still would be the outright abolition of leasehold altogether, a feudal anachronism virtually unique to England and Wales.

Massive pile of rubbish cover land that the King inherited. Flytipped.

lolz Channel 4 News is brilliant

we still have a fiefdom, established in 1300s to “protect against Scottish invasions”

NO,KING CHARLES, YOU NEED TO PAY to clean up that DANGEROUS WASTE TIP in your Duchy of Lancaster.
Not only is this your land BUT you are a KNOWN ENVIRONMENTALIST.
Time you put your money where your mouth is Majesty and SPEND ALL THE £MILLIONS necessary to clean it up.
SET A ROYAL EXAMPLE…!
