This has been an incredible spot on the @mrjamesob.bsky.social show this week with the excellent @henryriley1.bsky.social showing just a glimpse of what it would be like if the media gave Reform the same coverage (for negative stories, not just Farage puff pieces) as they did the left.

It doesnโ€™t really matter *why* Trumpโ€™s desire to destabilise & divide Europe precisely mirrors Vladimir Putinโ€™s - whether kompromat, self-interest, naked bigotry or something else l. What matters is that Europe treats both regimes like the enemies of progress & democracy they so clearly are.

I prefer it when โ€˜Traitorsโ€™ describes the TV program, not the people potentially electing the next government.

Obama responds to the racist Trump video โ€” saying there's a "sort of clown show" playing out on social media: "What is true is there doesn't seem to be any shame about this among people who used to feel like you had to have some sense of decorum and a sense of propriety and respect for the office."

They were never anywhere near the 'brink of death' of course. That's just the media narrative crap. Hysterical and infantile both.

Yes of course he is, and that's what the right-wing are so scared about. It explains the frenzied attacks of last week. Anybody remember those now ?

Fox 'news' had to admit in court that is NOT a news channel, but an 'entertainment' channel. This to avoid huge fines and damages for broadcasting multiple vile lies.

We have 5 year terms in the UK for a reason. Any incoming administration needs that time to make the changes that are needed AND SEE THEM COME INTO EFFECT. Those who expect instant results are ridiculous mewling infants frankly. That has never been more true than it is now

Starmer is the real deal. People have suffered through 14 years of the other kind, and can't recognise it when they see it, apparently. Sigh.........
