I can’t believe UK media has spent the last 2 weeks discussing whether it β€˜s fair to call Farage a racist based on his teenage behaviour… As titillating as it is to question accounts of the bullying behaviour of a boy Nazi they could just look at what he does as an adult .

On Zack Polanskis magic money tree economic gravity simply doesn't exist.

On Zack Polanskis magic money tree economic gravity simply doesn't exist.

All in one day:

Immigration Minister lied about me with a slur.

Wes Streeting then tried a different attack.

And the Evening Standard write yet another attack piece because I dare to say we need to tax the rich.

The Wheels Are Falling off the Nigel Farage Project The Reform leader's increasingly rattled public appearances betray a growing sense that the opportunity of a lifetime could be about to slip from his fingers

Lots of people were overtly racist in the 1970s and 80s is such a weird line. Ok, but not everyone saw it as permission to be racist themselves. Lots of people saw it as something that needed to be changed. It’s the latter that I admire.

"I'm havin a breakdown," says one crudely-drawn stick figure to another. "You'll be OK," says the second. The first stick figure exclaims, "AGGHHH", and collapses. His head and outstretched arms and legs spell out the letters O-K.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

Watch out Europe, Trump is coming for your elections next MAGA’s mission to meddle in European politics should terrify Starmer, Macron and Merz. Will any of them fight back?

Keir Starmer is correct in his belief that the far right poses a threat to democracy in Europe.

What he seems unable to recognise is that it is now official US policy to encourage "patriotic" parties across Europe.

#Trump is not an ally, to be welcomed. He is an enemy.

At the general assembly of the European Broadcasting Union, the body that organises the hugely popular international annual singing competition, no vote on Israel’s participation was held.

What is the FIFA Peace Prize and why is Donald Trump expected to win? | CNN As billions of fans around the world tune in to watch the World Cup draw on Friday, they’ll also have the opportunity to watch FIFA president Gianni Infantino present a new, somewhat puzzling, award.

FIFA, soccer’s historically corrupt governing body, will name the winner of its first-ever β€œFIFA Peace Prize" today. Trump is widely expected to win, showing the moral vacuum of all concerned. A legitimate organization would move the World Cup out of the U.S. because of the abuse of immigrants.

Rightwingers are trying to destroy women’s right to vote | Moira Donegan Calls for disenfranchisement rest on a single assumption: that women’s citizenship is partial and conditional

Terrifying.

"More and more, influential voices in the Maga movement and the far-right Republican party are calling to strip women of the franchise."

"The opposition to women’s suffrage has entered the mainstream as the Republican party has radicalized."
