'I wouldn't touch a Jewish woman': Meet the Reform team in Gorton and Denton Members of Reform's campaign team shared racist content online and aligned themselves with far-right groups

What a bunch of….
Nothing good comes from these people.
Nothing hopeful for the communities of Gorton and Denton.
Nothing to make anyone’s lives better.
It’s just an ugly pitch to boost Matt Goodwin’s needy ego.

Voting for this is voting for hatred and failure.

It's not unlawful, but one could argue it is unreasonable.
The problem in making that argument, though, is that the reason wasn't disclosed for National security.

Farage rails against UK bilingualism as though it is somehow unEnglish and unpatriotic.

Scots Gaelic, Irish Gaelic, Welsh?

He’s tried shouting loudly in English at these people, but even that doesn’t get through their thick skulls.

What’s the point of other languages anyway?

Ratcliffe says sorry his language 'offended some people' after criticism of immigration comments - live updates The Man Utd co-owner says it's important to talk about

Jim Ratcliffe not sorry for what he said, just sorry for himself that he’s been pressured to apologise..

His apology is like a mugger saying

“Sorry if my choice of weapon upset some of my victims, but obviously I have to use some form of weapon to rob people”❗️

Be well. I always look forward to reading your acidic wit on the dreadful Trump administration.

Immigrant whose skull was broken in eight places during ICE arrest says beating was unprovoked A Mexican immigrant whose skull was broken during his arrest by immigration officers last month in Minnesota says the beating was unprovoked.

ICE blamed this guy’s eight skull fractures on a brick wall.

They actually beat him with the same metal rod they used to smash car windows.

“There was never a wall.”

Trump suggests federal control of elections in ‘some areas’ In a lengthy interview with NBC, the president said he will accept the results of the midterm elections if they are “honest.”

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop.

Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government.

This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

US government to fund Maga-aligned think-tanks and charities in Europe State department grants to spread ‘American values’ are part of Washington’s 250th anniversary celebrations

This is MAGA ideological imperialism.

It's disguised as a "free speech" crusade. In reality, the Trump admin seeks to coerce Europe into deregulating digital environments to enable unimpeded extremist content that radicalises voters into supporting far-right populists.

Nope! It shows that Mandelson was a corrupt, lying f#cker, but Starmer seemed genuinely angry about his actions.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
