The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

A bewildered Robert Jenrick under serious attack from David Lammy over the state the Tories left the prison & court systems in.

Failure on everything. And somehow the Shadow Justice Secretary tried to claim all the problems started just 14 months ago!

And Jenrick is meant to be the best they have?

Of course she has. The small matter of owing ยฃ122 million to UK taxpayers for her disgusting profiteering in a global pandemic means nothing to Michelle Mone.

NHS staff died in my hospital from the Covid they caught there - her dodgy PPE racket was vile.

Only Russian soldiers can "go home."
The Ukrainian Defense Forces are at home. They fight to defend their homes, families, land.

When the "Both sides just need to stop the war" statement sounds, this is, in fact, a legitimization of annexation, when an aggressor is made equal with a victim.

1 month to go until Reform UK Welsh Leader Nathan Gill is sentenced on 8 charges of accepting Russian Bribes.

Nigel Farage thinks he can distance himself from his โ€˜loyalโ€™ colleague of 20 years.

Letโ€™s not forget that Farage was pushing the same Pro-Russian agenda.

The poetic, folksy song from archetypal Gen X film Reality Bites. Essential to my Gen X life soundtrack. Made #6 in Oz. I love it.

These national heroes have now waited more than a year for a meeting with Keir Starmer to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition. They are now in their eighties and are dying waiting for justice. This is no way to treat veterans Prime Minister

More water bills rises announced today, on top of those already planned.

Privatisation without competition, arguably the worst of both worlds

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Lords Heseltine & Kinnock seem more alive to these self-evident truths than most members of the Commons. Similarly, I find thinkers with direct lived experience of far right dictatorship, Greeks of a certain age for example, crystal clear about whatโ€™s happening now.

Reform's brilliant DOGE team at Kent council found zero savings and now want to raise council tax. It's almost as if they were lying and haven't got a clue what they're doing.

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Anastasiia Hrytsiv and her family were killed by the Russian strike on Lviv region last night.

Anastasiia's school wrote about her death.

She had her life ahead of her, but Russia's damned war against Ukraine took the lives of the whole family.

Deepest condolences...

And by "calls" they mean their own Reform propaganda channel and a few snowflakes that demand free speech, but only for right wing gobshites.

Trump complained Netanyahu was โ€˜so negativeโ€™ after Hamas partially accepts peace deal U.S. president continues making threats to Hamas while privately chiding Netanyahu, reports say

Jeez. I knew #Trump was as dense as a black hole...

But what part of "Netanyahu is a genocidal maniac who will never accept Palestinians' right to exist" doesn't he understand?

Or is 'Bibi' just getting in the way of Donald's personal ambition for a Nobel Prize? ๐Ÿคฎ

So #Farage's 'claim' that the UK would 'save' ยฃ230 BILLION by deporting migrants, etc ...

...has been withdrawn (found to be based on an unreliable study) ...

... and has been examined in detail by Economists from KCL ...

... who found it would cost an EXTRA ยฃ100 BILLION.

I was given masks whose ear loops fell off & aprons so flimsy they ripped apart when you tried to put them on, Michelle.

Nurses and porters in our hospital died from the Covid they caught there, Michelle.

How dare you try to bleat victimisation now, Michelle?

Donors covering Farage security after cuts, Reform UK claims - BBC News Reform's policy chief says parliamentary authorities downgraded Farage's security two weeks ago.

Farage's publicly-funded security has been cut by 75%, Reform has claimed and I am furious I tell you.. absolutely steaming mad ๐Ÿ˜ก

I begrudge him any publicly funded security bc he used a tax haven to avoid paying UK tax so why should taxpayers pick up the tab

Especially as he does FA as an MPโ—๏ธ
