One benchmark of a democracy is whether it is willing to hold those who have served at the very highest levels to account.

Can you imagine the United States ever doing something like this?

The message it conveys is that Trump will not be leaving The White House voluntarily.
He believes he owns it, not that he's a tenant.

Question - if wealth taxes don’t work and raise only paltry amounts, how come whenever we start seriously discussing them rich people start pouring resources into trying to start race and class wars as a distraction?

Zia Yusuf hates this, because it mocks his ignorant followers.

That is enough reason to love it.

In a nutshell.

"It's Thatcherism on steroids - this is incredible, cutting and slashing public expenditure, doing all the things he's done….. That's leadership... He is amazing." Nigel Farage "[Milei] is the 'chainsaw-wielding, bushy-sideburned wild man of Hayekian free-market thinking'. He hailed Milei for giving Argentina 'the economic medicine it needs' through drastic spending cuts." Boris Johnson "Britain needs shock therapy. A Milei-style approach would mean radical surgery. First: stop the bleeding. Slash wasteful public spending. Shut down unproductive agencies and quangos... We need to aim for a primary [surplus." Jacob Rees-Mogg "Milei is the template." Kemi Badenoch "Javier Milei rightly tells the elite [at the] awful WEF the facts of life - socialism and state intervention tends to make people poorer." Richard Tice

As Argentina’s economy starts to rapidly unravel, let’s never forget the comments by our own politicians.

Here's the founder of Blue Labour, Maurice Glasman. As well as being McSweeney's mentor and the architect of Starmer's disastrous pro-Brexit flagshagging strategy, he's also a diehard MAGA Trumpist who counts Nigel Farage and Steve Bannon among his closest friends.

Some info on the founder of Blue Labour.
💥2011: called for a dialogue with supporters of the English Defence League (EDL).
💥2011: called for some immigration to be halted and for EU freedom of movement to be abolished.
💥2016: campaigned to leave the EU.
💥2024: celebrated the victory of Donald Trump.

Tommy Robinson will be organising a mass protest any time now.
..just wait...
..here it comes...

Trump has been the worst president ever for farmers.

Twice.

But they voted for him three times.

Now they want the rest of America to give them welfare.

When they did it to themselves.

But they don’t like socialism.

According to Trump 300 million Americans died from drugs last year. Incredible that 88% of the population died without it making the news and that they can still function as a country.

Who says I haven’t achieved anything positive during my first year in office?

I know it’s been said but WOW nothing makes me think someone is more pathetic than obsessing over the flag assigned to the manmade borders you’re born in to. Frightened little rabbit boys, they’re so pathetic x

Wow

He’s doing it again.

Cosplaying Reform is a validation of Reform.

Is there anything much more repulsive than a very wealthy, safe, privileged Tory/Reform MP/commentator targeting deliveroo drivers and asylum-seekers in dismal hotels with their anti-immigrant, racist bile - to whip up civil unrest that they hope to use as their lever into power? No.

After beating a man unconscious and then jumping on a plane to flee, Tommy Robinson ran into a female reporter who asked him what happened.

He shouted, "SLAG," at her.

That is who Tommy Robinson is, summed up nicely in just a few words.

It's not the crime as much as it's the coverup.

The police (wrongly) inform a peaceful protestor that holding a Palestinian flag and signs deploring genocide is an offence under the Terrorism Act. This is the deranged policing environment the government has created.

Next from the BBC: did the moon landings really happen? We look at both sides of the controversial debate.

I don't want to hear "we can't afford it" one more time from Labour.

Not while they continue to reinforce their Brexit red lines.

The amount of money being left on the table by not seeking to rejoin the EU is eye-watering.

The tax lost to Brexit would have paid for everything Labour needed.

Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.

When you lie about your credentials, your drinking, and your leaking of classified war plans, why would anyone trust you about the air strikes?
