Don't ever believe anyone from the Populist Right should they say that 'everything will be fine for a person with "indefinite leave to remain" if they just became a British citizen'...

It will not be fine.

How to answer a loaded question.

(This is Joe Neguse, Congressman for Colorado's 2nd District.)

Female grooming gang survivors call on Nigel Farage to issue apology They said the Reform leader made "us feel like we have to defend ourselves and prove that we are victims again"

“Farage’s lack of knowledge and assumptions about our experiences as victims and survivors of grooming gangs proves he should not have a platform to make decisions about us.”

Don't want to alienate their base.

Matt Goodwin has more chips on his shoulder than a carpenter caught in a frites spillage. The very essence of dull, unoriginal, utterly inconsequential little man. You can only pity the boneheads who hero worship such an absolute nonentity. #bbcqt

One of Starmer's biggest errors has been a failure to tackle Johnson's political appointments at the BBC.

He (patriotically) shills for the Dubai hedge fund, Legatum.

Goodwin - should be given the title of shill to the Dubai hedge fund, Legatum.

He is no longer an academic.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

So why does the BBC label the academic and economist Faiza Shaheen an "activist" but refuse to do the same for the former academic, turned anti-migrant activist Matt Goodwin?

California, you have the power to restore democracy! Vote YES on Pro 50😃

The current homepage of USDA. This is deeply and profoundly fucked up. And illegal. People need to go to jail.

Worth remembering…

Powell: "Higher tariffs are pushing up prices in some categories of goods, resulting in higher overall inflation."

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

It's been 35 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡

I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

Road to the budget: Reeves sets her sight on a European S... Brexit is costing the UK £80bn a year in lost taxes, hitting output by up to 8% and investment by more than twice as much. The chancellor has her work cu...

Sunlit uplands...

'Brexit lowered Britain’s output by 6% to 8% and investment by 12% to 18% compared to if the UK had remained in the EU. These losses are permanent and mean that the exchequer has lost up to £80bn of tax revenue every year.'

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.

And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.

GOP’s refusal to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is a continuation of Jan. 6 and GOP’s rejection of democracy The GOP is anti-democracy party

The 37 ballroom donors won’t be remembered for generosity, but for funding a monument to authoritarian vanity during a shutdown, at a venue nicknamed after a sex trafficker, while Americans wonder how they’ll eat. History keeps receipts & their names aren’t coming off those walls

I want to think that this clip along with the Katie Lam madness represents the end of the Faragist cul-de-sac the Tories have gone down.
