Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

No one should be surprised. As with their MAGA US cheerleaders and supporters they are saying up front what they mean to do.

Sometimes the answer to the question "How should this sentence be punctuated?" is "It should be entirely rewritten."

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.

Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.

Tell Keir Starmer to change this.

And btw, immigrants as a whole make a net contribution to our economy, they are not the problem, rich tax exiles are. The super yachts not the small boats. Rich, selfish and ignorant (of the facts).

We really should be asking ourselves why one rich twat’s racist opinion can become headline news in this country

While the perspectives of thousands of volunteers welcoming migrants in their communities & mixed migrant/British families are never heard?

There's a sexual predator in the White House. The Epstein files.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing β€œdeath, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine.

Reeves argues for reduced trace barriers with EU Chancellor Rachel Reeves says closer partnership with the EU is beneficial for economy and security.

β€œReeves said further integration with the UK's biggest trading partner would drive economic growth and improve security” - You just wonder why it took them so long to state the blindingly obvious?

UK to ban political party donations from foreign donors Campaigners have welcomed the bill, but say that there also needs to be a cap on donations to political parties

"Passing the β€˜Musk test’ is a welcome step – foreign billionaires, no matter their corporate holdings in the UK, have no business interfering in our politics."

Opinion | I’m the Prime Minister of Spain. This Is Why the West Needs Migrants.

Why Spain is breaking the mold in Europe -

Two reasons: morality & pragmatism.

Ratcliffe is where populism leads. To multimillionaires spouting ignorant racist horseshit that divides us but unites the far right in their cynical bid to exploit prejudice for power. Ratcliffe will just shrug from his tax haven home. He doesn’t care. Farage laps it up. Everyone else loses.
