Margaret Thatcher said "Socialism is great until you run out of other people's money."

Then sold everything of yours because she was running out of money.

The hypocrisy is mind blowing.

This is what Elon Musk looked like before he took hormones, had a hair transplant and plastic surgery.

All stuff that he wants banned for Trans people.

That the labour party see anything Zach Polanski is doing as a "threat" rather than the ideal ally in a desperately difficult time for the UK is pretty much everything wrong with them. Labour dropped* the torch of representing the people, Greens picked it up.
*threw away/sold/etc

Economic growth latest...

Get it trending

We have a Farage problem. That's it.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked about the Home Secretarys comments that yesterdays protests about Israels actions were dishonourable (she also said they were unBritish).

Zack is spot on.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

Reform MP backs up Nigel Farage claims that migrants are coming for your birds.

Isn’t it funny, now Labour are in power they won’t come on your programme to be interviewed. Cowards

Far right protest today:
29 - police officers injured
9 - protestors arrested

Proscribed group protests:
0 - police officers injured
1,600 - protestors arrested

We have Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper to thank for this absurd anomaly

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

When Kemi Badenoch got elected Tory leader, Starmer congratulated her and said he was looking forward to working with her.

When Donald Trump got elected President, Starmer congratulated him and said he was looking forward to working with him.

Starmer loves a fascist. No such unity for the left.

The Global Sumud Flotilla, bound to break the siege on Gaza, has confirmed that one of its main boats was struck by an is*reali drone in Tunisian waters. They want to help those suffering from hunger under ap*rtheid. Many Gazan children have already died of starvation.
