I’m sure Indian billionaire, Sunny Varkey, wants to give Farage a ton of cash to improve the lives of the people of Clacton.
And definitely not to lobby for crypto or fossil fuels or to have first dibs on the firesale of British assets (eg the NHS) that Farage is bartering for power.
FFS wake up UK.

Thanks for taking this on Lewis. My son owes £97,000 - crazy! The temptation in the arts is to keep earnings below the threshold of paying it back. Not good for the economy or motivation.

A tax on struggling youth. An awful policy. The UK needs an educated work force.

....and here we are 😒

Springfield, Ohio next 😳 please not.

Dear voter, sick of the other parties and tempted by Reform UK? Don’t be daft. Don’t do it. They’re not your friends. Unless you are already rich, this report proves that they will only make your life... From the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) yesterday: Reform UK have announced plans for cuts to income tax in Scotland if they were to win the Scottish Parliament elections in May. They say they …

Remembering H. L. MENCKEN -
who left us 57yrs ago today.

Suella Braverman? Ha ha. Farage should just call his company Tories Reformed.

A timely reminder from Carl Sagan

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

Let’s just call Farage what he is; the Trumpsucker.

Journalists and Media alike, please be prepared for the lies Republicans will tell.

Make them watch the video of Alex Pretti being murdered by ICE.

Make them watch it.
Make them defend it.
Make their lies obvious.

People all over the world who value democracy and oppose fascism should stop buyIng US products. Starting with the UK government, which is planning to pay the sinister big-tech surveillance company Palantir hundreds of millions of pounds.

This wrecked me. Goodnight.

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti: We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

An Especially Flawed Relationship There have been valid questions about the Transatlantic Relationship for years.

It was my sombre duty back in 2010 to honour Danish and British war dead as part of my daily job in Helmand. It feels emblematic of a flawed relationship.

I worked with the UKs SAS in Iraq. Trump is an idiot and Americans respect and appreciate the UKs friendship

Carole Cadwalladr, "He's not that cuddle cosy golf club English pub figure"

"He is in a relationship with the US far right and with the European pro-Kremlin far right"

"What happened in Brexit, we saw that money that force that influence, those networks coming together"

Keep it up!

Q: What's the difference between someone in NATO and Donald Trump?

A: Donald Trump would never put on a uniform to defend the United States.

AN OLYMPICS SYMBOL FOR RUNNING IS BEHIND BARS. WITH THE WORD: HEY WORLD! SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR DEMOCRACY. BOYCOTT THE OLYMPICS!

Do it.

This offends me far more than his usual bullshit. It's up there with his delight in Rob Reiner's death. And if it offends me, imagine how the families of the hundreds of NATO soldiers who died in Afghanistan feel.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte confronts Trump to his face about the lies he’s told about NATO. Rutte reminds Trump that soldiers from NATO nations fought and died alongside U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. This confrontation was long overdue.

“This repulsive piece of shit IS Britain’s moral decline“
👏👏👏

Someone had posted this on Instagram 👌🏼 would be great

Trump just repeated again that China just builds wind turbines but did not use them themselves.

Truth is :they actually do. China has more wind power than any other country.

How Trump’s Greenland obsession could spark a World Cup boycott Gianni Infantino’s cosying up to the US president has left Fifa in an awkward situation, writes Miguel Delaney, with the real prospect of lasting ramifications for the World Cup this summer

Every decent person, company, association and country should ALREADY be boycotting the World Cup in the US.

Trump:

"NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything."

Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.
