If Trump would do the right thing he wouldn’t have to spend every last minute of his days back tracking hiding his corruption.

Seen plenty thanks. But thanks for the education! Without you I’d never have known! My life will be so much more interesting now.

wtf! Really? Well I’m with Gabe on this one then!

FRED data showing manufacturing employment steadily declining since April -- almost exactly on Liberation Day, the day Trump announced his biggest tariffs.

It will never stop being infuriating that Trump is held to no objective standards -- even standards he himself claimed he would succeed in!

We've continued to shed manufacturing jobs since Inauguration Day -- despite (or, given the April timing, because of?) tariffs! It's objective reality!

The Brexit infighting weakened thr Europe.

There is a type of British person who, dazzled and bewitched by the wealth and power of the US, would hand over their daughters to Trump just to stand next to him. The rest of us realise that the ‘special relationship’ was akin to that of an abused dog to its brutal master and relish the break up.

Anyone noticed how UK media is a lot less obsessed with Farage’s alleged antisemitism than Corbyn’s alleged antisemitism?

Odd that.

A Reform UK councillor’s business has been handed a £40,000 fine after the company was found to have hired someone without the legal right to work in the UK.

This is NOT FUNNY AT ALL (giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...).

If any of you know JD Vance pass it on. This is a screenshot for the Wikipedia page of the World Press Freedom Index. The top twenty countries wrt freedom of the press are all but two European. The US is ‘somewhat’ further down the list! Just saying.

Elon Musk has been in regular contact with Putin for two years, says report Alleged talks between billionaire and Russian president could have enormous security implications

Putin's pal Elon Musk fixed the Election for Trump. We live in an Election Fraud Autocracy, thanks to those two stooges.

Michael Andrew Harrison, who represents Seaham on Durham county council, is appealing the levy against his business Churchills Management Ltd, arguing that the employee — who is of Thai descent — did have the legal right to work. But the penalty is the latest embarrassment for Reform at a time when Nigel Farage is trying to demonstrate that his start-up populist party can win power and lead the country. Reform has led the polls of voters for most of this year, but with just five MPs there is scepticism about the party’s infrastructure and its ability to vet hundreds of suitable candidates for a general election campaign.

Siri, show me British understatement: "There is scepticism about the party’s infrastructure and its ability to vet suitable candidates." ~AA

"If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more."

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Yeah, until they solve the issue of charging without a driveway they’re cutting A LOT of people out. Don’t come back at me with ‘public chargers’. They’re five times as expensive and inconvenient. Basically another tax for being poor.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that partnering with an unpredictable American regime weakens Europe. The only way to save itself is to disconnect from toxic Trumpistan, just as it did with Putin.

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage has been reported to the police over an alleged breach of electoral law

His former campaign member claims he went over the local spending limit in Clacton by around £9K and listed the extra campaign costs as national spending

Time for a game of who said it: Sharia Law or American Christofascism.

British Writer Pens The Best Description Of Trump I’ve Read - London Daily “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

When your own mother comes out publicly like this….. 👌

Jesus H!

Great financial crisis? You mean when the housing market collapsed, banks went under, our GDP sank, the working class lost trillions in net worth and unemployment soared?

Seems like a repeat of the last time we tried to bully the world with isolationist tariffs.

Not good.

Farage urged to ‘come clean’ over alleged election spending breaches in Clacton Reform campaign accused by ex-councillor of falsely reporting expenses during Farage’s run to become MP last year

The pressure keeps mounting on Farage.

At what point does he become a liability to his party?

www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The petty corruption is kind of expected (he should still pay) but I’m more concerned with the foreign money he’s swimming in.

Is psychopathy classed as neurodivergent now?
