About the only thing I have in common with reform voters is advanced age. Brexit is the biggest bait-and-switch fraud ever.

Ben Goldsborough MP speaking in a debate on Russian influence on UK politics:

β€œIt seems Reform politicians are comfortable doing the Kremlin’s dirty work for them, regardless of whether they get paid for the privilege or not.”

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Agree 100%
In the UK we are bombarded with information about who we might vote out but have very little interest in who/what we are voting in.
With FPTP the majority of people will have voted against the incoming government.

one thing trump 45 showed clearly is that he does not give up power without a fight

and this time he'll be better organised to win it

and who will he want in number 10?

But if the USA rejects trump in their midterms then support for the faragists here will be greatly diminished.

brexit Britain is doomed to churn through PMs promising to make brexit work until either we call the bait-and-switch fraud that got us into this state or bannon/trump/putin dream comes true and we get some swine we can't get rid of.
Will lefties still have a right to vote in the midterms

Farage was banging on about Turkish barbers, so these lads in Glasgow did this.

It's in Dumbarton Road, if you fancy a trim.

The very papers who lauded May, Johnson, Truss & Sunak now want to control the government with demands the PM resign.

Over an appointment they almost universally lauded a year ago.

Yet again, manipulation of the populace by emotion.

Again, the FBI has had this information for over a decade.

It's like the Tory VIP Lane. Michael Gove was so sure there would be no accountability that, under his leadership, Cabinet Office *institutionalised* a preference in granting contracts for those connected to Tory MPs. Folks with those connections stripped the public purse of generational fortunes.

I often wonder what Pam Bondi’s hopes and dreams were when she was studying law.

Did she have this willingness to sink into rottenness in mind?

What goes on in her mind now?

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

The Constitution is a fairy taleβ€”your β€œrights” only exist if someone’s willing to enforce them. The DOJ's main goal is to shield a criminal pedophile. ICE can smash your door, beat you in the street, and no one will lift a finger. In fact, they will label you a terrorist, and 45% will believe it.

Left: France to ditch US platforms citing security concerns

Right: UK gives billions to US platforms

France, in the EU, is investing in their sovereignty

UK, outside the UK, is giving away our sovereignty

You remember how anyone with half a brain noticed how Boris Johnson’s cabinet became less and less talented the more it was based on loyalty to him and blind adherence to his disastrous Brexit?

Well, they’ve all gathered together under another name now, so you can tell them all to fuck off again.

How abolishing the wealth tax changed a country Sweden abolished its wealth tax. Tax became transactional, destroying the sense of a community building something together

Sweden once epitomised equality. Today it has one of the world’s highest numbers of billionaires per capita. What changed? New research explores how abolishing the wealth tax reshaped society – economically and socially.

Correct. The architect is Stephen Miller.

The influence and style is white supremacist and neo-Nazi.

The end goal is fascism.
