The shit posting "Reform are great, Starmer is a twat" type posts go a bit quieter from about 10pm, have you noticed?

Hint: 10pm UK is midnight in Moscow.

Shift change?

Nice stroll through Greenwich park before the whole civil war and Sharia law thing that Mr Trump says is coming to London kicks in...

Farage the Trump parrot A writer’s response to Nigel Farage’s aping of Trump’s policies

"Farage has no ideas of his own, he just steals from his idol Trump. He wants to be Britain’s own mini-Trump.

He wants us to copy the failed Trump strategies which are driving the US economy into deep recession."

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

Yvette Cooper: "While we are standing up to Putin, Farage calls him the leader he most admires.

"While we are strengthening the NATO alliance, they trot out Russian propaganda claiming NATO caused the war

"While we opened our hearts & homes to Ukrainian children, their policy is to turn them away"

Rep. Jim Himes: "Having the Defense Department kill alleged drug runners in the Caribbean is illegal...These folks are committing murder — murder defined as killing without a legal basis. I am mystified over why the rest of the chain of command is quite comfortable with it."

I’m watching and it’s astounding. We all knew something like this was going on - but the extent of it! While so many were suffering, dying, sunk into loneliness - a few were absolutely RAKING IT IN. The COVID health crisis was a very, very lucrative opportunity for some.

The ITV exposé on COVID now turns its sights on testing. I was stunned in 2020 when Sir Paul Nurse - Director of the Francis Crick Institute - told me he’d written to the government to offer the services of the Crick (the biggest biomeolecular lab in the country) - and never got a reply…

It would have seemed preposterous to write such a piece about America, but the impossible, the implausible is becoming reality. The ground is being laid for an authoritarian takeover.

Today’s court ruling is what we’ve been warning about for months: Trump is unlawfully using the military to terrorize Americans, including kids and hardworking immigrants — many of whom have contributed to this country and are part of American families.

Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."

Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment:

"To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

Why Reform UK’s conspiracism should worry you Reform UK appear to embrace conspiracism as an ideology to gain power but it brings an underlying threat to UK democracy

"I spoke with a Midlands-based Reform UK candidate. Instead of trying to convince me to support the party by discussing its manifesto policies and ability to govern, he took another approach: he told me that the UN were sneaking ‘military-aged’ migrants into asylum hotels"

Brexit referendum’s 10th anniversary: time to think again? With 10 years of the Brexit referendum on the horizon, should a second referendum be in our sights?

"Nearly a decade on from the Brexit referendum and almost five from when Brexit was supposedly ‘done’, voters who are genuinely happy with the Brexit we have are few and far between, and no political party is seriously suggesting that it’s a success."

Over the long weekend, the Trump administration quietly tried to deport 76 unaccompanied children to Guatemala – ignoring laws protecting such minors from speedy deportations.

Thankfully, a federal judge blocked the effort.

The cruelty of this regime knows no bounds.

Governor Pritzker speaks behind the podium.

In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago.

These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer.

This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

These are the exact same papers that spent years cheering on the Conservative party's big new restrictions on the right to protest, the right to strike and the blacklisting from official events of anyone who publicly criticised them

JB Pritzker, "President Trump has surrounded himself with groveling yes men who are too weak to restrain his violent and unhinged impulses; or who share those impulses"

"I can't live in a fantasy land where I preteyTrump is not tearing this country apart for personal greed and power"

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

How do we even know that is an alleged drug smuggling boat?

And where the F is Congress - especially the ranking Democrats in the foreign relations committees both in the House and the Senate? Are they going to do their basic jobs of raising alarm and express concern like Susan Collins or nah?

Tariffs: illegal

Mass deportations: illegal

Occupation of US cities: illegal

The 2028 Dem nominee needs to make clear that there will be no “immunity” for lawbreakers—criminal or civil.

Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."

The US military will conduct a flyover of the White House and wider DC at 11am tomorrow (Wednesday).

Epstein’s victims will be holding a press conference on Capitol Hill around the same time.

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
