When is the Labour government going to start representing the majority of people in the UK?
When is it going to deal with the sewer that is the uk press and apply hate laws to it directly?
When will it make it illegal to intimidate asylum seekers in hotels?

The BBC's headline from that catastrophic press conference. The BBC news department is broken

I can't stand the uk. It's a sewer. Irish unification vote now.

Trump justifying placing DC police under federal control and deploying National Guard by claiming the city is dangerously crime ridden.  Sidebar shows overall violent crime down by 26% in DC, homicide down 12%, robbery down 28%. Nationally the numbers are down 4.5%, 14.9%, 8.9%.  They are way, way down from historic highs in the early 90s.

Thank you @msnbc.com for fact checking the Committer (of crimes) in Chief in real time. Crime is DOWN in DC.

He will find an excuse in all cities. The steady creep of fascism.

Since the law has gone out the window, it's time for the mayor of Washington DC to have Trump arrested for treason.

ICE is resembling the Nazi's stormtroopers more every day. Paramilitaries operating outside of any legal framework.

Someone needs to grow a pair and enforce the international arrest warrant on Netanyahu the next time he leaves Israel, even if it means forcing his plane to land in as it covers your airspace.

Her job isn't a conflict of interest. She's part of the regime. She's a Christian fundamentalist fascist.

I get your point, of course, but not a great comparison. We have a police force that's not allowed to police, neutered as it is by politicians who support Republican or loyalist vermin. The scum in NI are a protected species.

How we can fight back against the right-wing coup For a better future the power of corporations and wealthy elites must be curbed and reversed

UK working class impoverished by right-wing coup

Wages taxed at 20% - 45% marginal rates
Capital gains 18% - 32%
Dividends 8.75% - 39.35%.
Private equity bosses at max rate of 32%.
Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%

Govts not keen on progressive tax policies

First LA. Now DC. Where's next? One by one, cities fall to fascism.

Scott Ritter is a Russian asset and convicted pedophile. Here he is with Trump's Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr
