She confuses assertive debate with rudeness and arrogance

Are you sick to the back teeth of hearing TV and radio presenters begin a broadcast with the words... "NIGEL FARAGE SAYS....."ðŸĪ”

Trump: "Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it"

Not receiving consent and moving forward anyway is a consistent theme in his life — as E. Jean Carroll can attest

Problem is, being conflicted in the middle gets no claps only criticism

US evangelicals have spent generations preparing to fight the Antichrist. But when he finally shows up, they just make him President.

If you fuck with Spain you fuck with the EU and they're big boys too. You don't even know that do you, you dumb shit

Keir Starmer has bent over backwards to appease Trump, so if he's disappointed in the UK tough shit

Remember when we had Presidents who addressed the nation on important events from the Oval Office in a clear and dignified manner? Now we have this buffoon speaking from his "club" in FL wearing a baseball cap that covers his eyes saying a lot of words that tell us nothing. How far we have fallen.

Refugee status becomes temporary in asylum shake-up Adults and accompanied children claiming asylum will only receive refugee status for 30 months under the changes.

Abysmal, immoral, cruel, small hearted, tiny minded, ineffective, undemocratic, and just generally utterly indecent. What a bitter godforesaken disappointment these people are.

Must be excruciating for the old bastard. I'm older than him but I'm happy with my lot. Trump, born and raised in privilege, has bullied, bribed, lied, brutalised, blackmailed, abused and raped his way through his entire life and he knows he is facing the end. His body is dying, his soul long dead

It's heartening, amidst the gloom, that at election time the progressive voters come together to keep Reform out

Starmer has run his course as PM. Pity he couldn't have been better. In the end he reminded me of John Major; decent, weak, indecisive, crippled with caution

Quote from Washington Times editorial board

"[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

As a lifelong Labour voter I was delighted when the idealistic, naive Corbyn went. Starmer seemed a safe pair of hands at first but now I don't know where to start; the guy appears to have no political judgement whatsoever

By allowing Trump to walk all over him already and now to use our military bases, Starmer has not only shit in his hat but plonked it on his head

The events of the past 48 hours have laid bare Keir Starmer's utter inability to stand up to Donald Trump - and this weakness could have serious consequences for the safety of British people.

Well done Starmer for putting on target on British citizens by joining the American war effort using British bases

This is an American war of choice. Forget the fake reasons, Trump has been itching for it for ages and now he sees it as a massive distraction from his paedophile troubles

Starmer was always going to have a part in this war wasn't he. His judgement is so incredibly awful 😖

If the United States is going to go around the world causing regime changes, we should practice here first.
