AOC: “That’s one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American ppl”

There are often challenges with competence in Republican administrations.
Please let me give you an example. This is sick, AF.
😆🤷‍♂️😳🤬

Nigel Farage said today, I’m not interested in public opinion. Just think about that for a while.

Almost nobody in the media reported on the former Tory Government's sweeping power grab of the electoral commission. This week Labour have announced that they will reverse what Boris Johnson did and return the commission to independence.

Ofcourse Labour will get absolutely no credit for doing this

Even a very superficial analysis of the demographics and political history of the seat would prompt the answer "only a very slim one, and largely down to factors beyond my control".

When trump is finally gone, it will take a long time and much difficulty to repair the damage the fool has done. The hardest part may be restoring our nation's image on the world stage, and convincing our former friends to trust us again.

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.

Over half goes to private defense contractors.

This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.

I’ve made it into Private Eye!

No lies detected.

I’m thinking James Talarico can win the Texas Senate seat…

Even the Americans don't know why they are involved in this #Israeli war. I'm glad Starmer is standing firm. The UK should use this as a re-entry point into the EU family.

This video is so disturbing.
Is this how we treat our veterans for using the First Amendment right they fought for to speak out? And the fact that we have a bunch of politicians who don't even react to it is frightening.

Reported in the Guardian the husband and ex husband of Labour MP's arrested on suspicion of spying for China, Farage had better not start gobbing off after the Nathan Gill affair.

Incredibly telling Kemi Badenoch interview on Today:
- can’t say what she’d actually want UK forces to do
- no idea what objective her proposed military action is to achieve
- hides from reality that single biggest constraint on British military = her govt’s defence cuts

Badenoch gives a borderline disgraceful performance at PMQs on Iran | John Crace At times like this you have to thank your lucky stars that the opposition leader is not in Downing Street

“So the clashes between Keir and Kemi at PMQs felt almost existential. A battle between sanity and the distorted reality of an angry teenager. Thankfully sanity won out.”

Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage are hardly the go to guys of global politics.
Rational nuanced analysis is needed not easy quotes from compromised rentagobs.

Where is your net stupid zero bullshit now, eh, Dubai dick?

Crypto investor based in Thailand donates further £3m to Reform Christopher Harborne’s gift is latest to party’s election war chest and comes amid calls for cap on political donations

Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his £millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections.

Exactly this. ⬇️

@jeevunsandher.bsky.social: "Members opposite promised us that by torching our relationship with Europe, it would make us richer and it would make us stronger.

"They were wrong on both counts."

tRump gets more dangerous by the hour...

A couple things…

The “conflict“ in Iran *IS* a war.
It is a war of choice.
It is warfare without conscious.
It was unprovoked.

And I’m sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!

I am now in my 55th year of being an imminent millionaire.

The Constitution is clear: Congress decides on war. When a president uses military force without authorization and Congress stays silent, they are abandoning their role as a co equal branch of government. War is the most serious power our government has. Shame on the U.S. Senate today.
