Look, a lot of people may scoff at this, but Donald Trump has always been a big supporter of family values, apparently.

She was "also" an ex-page 3 model, which means he was one too.

i was the first person in my family to get an undergraduate degree

all my other relatives just did masters and PhDs, I was a huge disappointment to them

average right-wing MP candidate: yeah my parents were actually dumb as shit. and my grandparents were fucking idiots. just utter simpletons all the way back

Sorry Sharron, you've forced our hand. They're 14 minute cities now. We will keep knocking a minute off until you comply

People saying this is made up don't know the man. I was in the Oval Office and I'll never forget Trump rising to break the silence with those same words of Kierkegaard's that he's repeated to me so many times. "Tears" he said, glassy-eyed but stoical, "are the silent language of grief".

We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing "the" labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant. 9,742 L7 19.4K 43.8K 个 AP The Associated Press @AP Replying to @APStylebook The use of "the French" in this tweet by @AP was inappropriate and has caused unintended offense.

Happy 3 year anniversary to this post

Melanie Phillips • @MelanieLat... 2h X melaniephillips.substack.com/p/insurgency- O... This anti-ICE disorder is an organised insurgency. It's the pattern we've seen in support of causes such as climate change, anti-colonialism or Gaza, in which obstruction, incitement, intimidation and other unlawful activities are termed "protest" and "freedom of speech" It's the "omnicause," and its aim is to use the streets and manipulate public opinion and emotion to undermine representative democracy and the rule of law.

Ain’t I been telling you that there really is an actual overlapping, international “omnicause”, and it’s just plain old fascism: paranoid, hysterical, obsessed with crackpot conspiracy theories, worshipping violence and force, and determined to beat the fuck out of humanity until we are compliant.

Luke Akehurst's face is deepest red.

Maybe being prolier-than-thou is like Jewishness.

I'm Norwich born and bred, which means I went to university there and have since spent one weekend there in 33 years.

The earlier incident started when he stopped his car after observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot, and began shouting and blowing his whistle, according to a source who asked not to be named out of fear of retribution. Pretti later told the source that five agents tackled him and one leaned on his back – an encounter that left him with a broken rib. The agents quickly released him at the scene. “That day, he thought he was going to die,” said the source.

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib.

He thought he was going to die.

Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors.

And a mob of agents killed him.

Man who believes if you're born in England but not white you're can't be English but if you're born in Hertfordshire you can be from Manchester

Matt Goodwin makes a living out of railing against university educated elites & his whole schtick is "he was the first person in his family to go to university", which is a bit weird given that his Dad, now being heavily invoked for his Manchester connection, appears to have a string of degrees.

No, you don't get to do an MBA and a PhD without an initial degree. He's just lying.

He must have had a degree in order to do an MBA.

Matt Goodwin is somewhere to the right of Joshua Bonehill-Paine, he's an absolutely fanatical racist who struggles to disguise his feelings when not being cossetted by his friends at Radio 4.

The use of the word “divided” is interesting to me because it connotes the idea that there are two different positions across from each other, even when the reality is that one side is terrorizing the other out of desire to assert violent domination and unjust supremacy

According to Keir Starmer's online fanclub Burnham should simply stfu about the Prime Minister blatantly lying about something important.

Apparently he caught it from Keir Starmer.

BBC News relentlessly promotes Matthew Goodwin in the full knowledge that his views are somewhere to the right of Joshua Bonehill-Paine.

This is how the BBC is reporting Matt Goodwin's selection as Reform's candidate in Gorton and Denton.

He's not an academic. He holds no academic position and hasn't done for quite some time.

and they are almost certainly listening for the vicarious thrill of hearing people voice and affirm their personal prejudices. they’ll be openly fash in a few years

A meaningful activity would be to engage with other writers and researchers engaged in trying to understand the far-right, not to listen to the actual shit as it plops out of the horse's arse.

Yeah, it really doesn't matter if the Prime Minister is a habitual liar.

The Ming Vase bit, jfc.

Ha ha jfc, is this AI?

Starmer is like Johnson and Trump, in that he doesn't distinguish between facts and lies, just articulating whatever seems to suit his most immediate needs.
