Quelle surprise

Screenshot of a Truth Social post by user @P78 that says: 'HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!' The post was than "Retruthed" by President Donald J. Trump.

This is how democracies fail. A sitting President is boosting calls for the arrest and execution of political opponents for urging the military to uphold the Constitution. Every alarm in the country should be going off.

VERY funny that Labour are being pointlessly cruel and haemorrhaging support from their base and yet none of what they're offering is ever going to be enough for the people whose approval they're seeking, WHO could have predicted it

Former Tory PM Brands Brexit 'An Act Of Collective Folly' In Outspoken Attack John Major said "our enemies celebrated and our friends despaired" at the vote to leave the European Union.

🌳Former Conservative prime minister, John Major, has branded Brexit “an act of collective folly”, attacking the UK’s decision to leave the EU.

🇪🇺Major said Britain’s “enemies celebrated and our friends despaired” at the result of the 2016 referendum.

“Let me be really clear – every minute that’s not spent talking about and dealing with the cost of living is a minute wasted of the political work of this government” is actually really good advice from the Prime Minister. If only he'd listen to himself.

This is deeply worrying. There can be no peace plan for Ukraine without Ukraine and Europe. The US is not a reliable ally and Russia is a terrorist state committing genocide.

What security concerns. Russia illegally invaded a sovereign nation, it occupied parts of a sovereign nation. Tankies scream NATO but conveniently ignore how Ukraine was not in NATO and not likely to be. There are no security concerns, just Russian imperialist aggression.

Digital ID cannot be saved, MPs told - 'no one believes it's about immigration' Campaigners told the Home Affairs Select Committee that voters are 'up in arms' about the proposals and do not believe it is just about tackling illegal migration

The Government's digital ID policy has been so badly botched that it is now "irrecoverable", MPs have been told

Given all the drivel from the unscrupulous about ECHR this is an important point

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

We really need to give Ukraine some serious long range weaponry we cannot allow Putin to carry on with effective impunity

Labour's asylum plan is straight from the Trump playbook – it'll backfire on them It’s time to stand up for the values of compassion, humanity and basic fairness

When Keir Starmer ran to be Labour leader in 2020, he pledged to “defend migrants’ rights” and to have “an immigration system based on compassion and dignity”.

How far he has fallen: not just in the polls but morally too.

'A Government Of Cowards': Zack Polanski Blasts Labour As Asylum Backlash Grows The Green Party leader joined Labour MPs in condemning Shabana Mahmood's plans.

Zack Polanski: "This is extreme, this is inhumane and it is a government of cowards."

Spot on we’ve allowed the lunatics to take over the asylum

Reform would ‘cut benefits for EU nationals and hike NHS immigration surcharge’ Party claims its policies would eliminate ‘black hole’ Rachel Reeves faces in the budget – but Labour says the ‘fantasy numbers don’t add up’

The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering.
Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense.

The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care? The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight

Too bloody true

TBH I don’t care about secure borders I’d very happily join the Schengen area.

This public is sick of incompetent cowardly tosspots using asylum seekers (not illegal immigrants) as a distraction from their inability to do anything useful

It looks like the Eu has gone nuts then

Just to be clear, politicians have engineered a situation whereby the NHS is in crisis and people are so scared and angry that many no longer feel empathy for the doctors tasked with holding the service together.

Doctors are not the problem. Politicians are the problem. 💙🚨

While the system needs to be fixed the rest of this is drivel

I’m sick of this demonisation of asylum seekers and the incorrect use of “illegal immigrants” by people who should know better. They are not a problem but a successful distraction from real problems the clueless can’t fix.

Would be fun if the BBC sued Trump in Florida

Worse yet Reform are gearing up to ensure they compound that felony

The brutal truth is Labour and Tories over the last 40 years have basically wrecked the UK and we’ve let them or actively encouraged them.

GB News investor and Spectator owner Paul Marshall is in the running to buy the Telegraph now that the RedBird takeover plan has collapsed, the Guardian reports.

Hard to see this being anything other than a disaster for public discourse in Britain if that goes ahead.

To be honest the Telegraph is no longer a worthwhile newspaper so if it goes it won’t be missed

A response to Matt Goodwin on small boat refugees (with record of crime in Germany) committing crime (rape) in the UK.

Labour's Biggest Problem Is Not a Lack of Leadership but a Lack of Ideas Until Keir Starmer's party decides what it really stands for, the question of who leads them will remain a hollow one, argues Adam Bienkov

Why all the talk about leadership challenges misses the point that the biggest problem facing this Government is not just a lack of leadership but a lack of clear ideas about what a Labour Government is actually for

Until that changes, the question of who sits in No 10 will remain a hollow one.
