NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

If Pam Bondi was a waitress.

YouTube video by Zoe Gardner Finally! A chance to talk about IMMIGRANTs & not corruption!

Oh look!

We’re talking about immigration again!

Instead of corruption money & pedos permeating our politics! 🤩 Brilliant! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhZk...

Oh look!

right, so, some quite insane professional news from me: last month I went to Paris to interview Gisèle Pelicot about what happened to her, and what her life looks like now - out in print on Sunday

This is all due to the incredible resistance of the people of Minnesota.

Their resilience - and their determination - helped enforce the Constitution in a way that political elites in Congress and the courts did not or could not.

I have never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

Starmer is no longer credible.
He needs to go.

Why 'island of strangers' and the 'incalculable damage' of immigration (as stated by Starmer) was so catastrophically wrong.... in one tweet.

Sue Gray shunted aside for Morgan McSweeney

Karen Pierce dispensed with in favour of Peter Mandelson

Competent, experienced, and highly qualified women replaced by mediocre men (no doubt legends in their own heads and at their own dinner tables)

Results?

All too predictable

Does the Number10 spokesperson remember who spoke about "Island of strangers", "squalid chapter", "incalculable damage"?
I do. I know who first wanted to divide this country.
Starmer mainstreamed and normalised that kind of rhetoric🤢

Really?
Starmer calls on Jim Ratcliffe to apologise after saying the UK has been colonised by immigrants.
Does he now?

​A screenshot of a post from the account Acyn featuring a video of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). The text of the post quotes AOC speaking about the humanitarian crisis in Cuba, drawing parallels to Gaza. ​She describes a "new era of depravity" where innocent civilians are starved or deprived because their political regimes are found "objectionable." She emphasizes the need to defend human rights, mentioning the risk of hospitals running out of fuel and children being put in harm's way. The video thumbnail shows AOC walking through a hallway while being interviewed by a reporter holding a microphone. ​Would you like me to help you draft more QRTs based on these specific images or provide a deeper summary of the AOC video?

The United States is purposefully blockading Cuba from accessing fuel that powers everything from grocery stores to hospitals. People will die. Children will die. What's being done to the people of Cuba is monstrous.

The people in power were ok with it in Gaza and now they're doing it to Cuba.

Who knew, mega pub chain boss Tim Martin would back Farage’s 'Deadbeat Dad' plan to take money from child support and spend it on beer ……:)

And, shock horror - Farage’s numbers don't add up. It will take nearly twice as much as he claims.

Classic.

The law on universities and free speech prevents speakers from being *disinvited after they have been invited*. It does not require universities to provide a platform to whoever demands one.

Let's not mince words: the threat to cut funding to every university who disagrees with them is fascist.

A balcony on an estate in the LB Camden "adorned" with two St George's flags and one Union Flag (with laundry drying behind them and a pile of boxes)

Seconded.
Once Brummies United against Racism and Hate Crimes have removed the flags in Brum, could you please come and remove them from this one balcony on the estate next door in Camden.
Arguably, he's on his own, just one balcony on the entire, rather large estate, a lone loon, but still... 😬

Almost at 2000 now

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna who sits on the House Committees on Oversight and Accountability,

"According to the unreacted files we saw, Ghislaine Maxwell was engaged in trafficking and rape of young women, and potentially children"

"She's a monster"

A preemptive surrender is arguably worse (but totally in character for the current leadership).
Gotta start somewhere I think.
Any second lost is more votes for Farage PM.

AOC, "Every American should be alarmed at the black box system where ICE disappears migrants and American citizens alike"

Fwiw, I agree ⬆️🙂
Courage ... and leadership. Knowing what they want to do with "power", what direction of travel they want to take. The only direction of travel I could notice so far is appeasing the "socially conservatives" (racists, xenophobes, transphobes and all sorts of other haters).

Starmer claims the increase in migration during the pandemic - when much-needed health workers were brought in - was a “squalid chapter” in history, causing “incalculable” damage. How offensive to the essential workers who came to this country, risking their lives while helping a nation in need.

Yes,💯% 🙂
It's also carefully worded to manage "strategic ambiguity" so that it can apply to any of us,immigrants.The"one-nation experiment in open borders"could equally describe FoM when🇬🇧was an🇪🇺M/S.As if the racists made a difference based on when pple arrived.
Just to encourage the flag-"painters"🤮

Starmer squandered this golden opportunity (400+ MPs) also through wanting to appease the un-appeasable racists and xenophobes because he didn't have the spine to take them on head-on and expose them for what they are. If not being a racist and xenophobe himself.

The I paper headline: A Brexit rethink is emerging. But Europe fears Farage will destroy it.

I am increasingly negative about the chances of a positive resolution.

The fundamentals that led to Brexit are still there - frustration with UKG, anti-Europeanism, poor jobs, ignorance, and populist-fascist voting - with the latter if anything stronger.

The UK must change.

Wetherspoon boss urges pubs to back Reform By Henry Saker-Clark The founder of Wetherspoon has urged other pubs to back Reform UK. Sir Tim Martin, chairman of JD Wetherspoon, said Reform's plans to slash beer duty would help the sector move towards "tax parity with supermarkets". Nigel Farage's party announced a series of proposals to support pubs last week. They included pledges to cut VAT in the hospitality sector by 10 per cent, cut beer duty by the same fraction. Reform also said it would reverse the recent rise in employers' national insurance contributions (NICs) for the sector and gradually remove business rates for all pubs. The party has said it would fund this package with around 23on, which it plans to secure through reinstating the two-child benefit cap, except for families with two British-born parents. In a lengthy stock exchange filing yesterday, Martin (inset) told industry leaders "there's no question that this initiative would utterly transform the competitiveness of pubs" He said: "By eliminating the tax differential between supermarkets and the hospitality industry, and restoring margins to devastated businesses, these changes would enable pubs to regain some, or all, of their lost trade. "You would think that this offer from Reform would have been greeted by a crescendo of enthusiasm, ecstasy and support from the licensed trade and its supporters. "However, surpris-ingly, initial support has been underwhelming, at least from the great and the good in the hospitality industry" Last month, Labour announced additional business rates support for pubs. The announcement was a U-turn following complaints from pubs about rates changes in November's Budget.

Multimillionaire Brexiter, Tim Martin, urges pubs to back Reform. Just like he urged the country to vote for Brexit. Too bad if it makes you poorer. Too bad for the children he’ll push back into poverty. Tim wants more money. And he couldn’t give a shit about the cost for everybody else.

Quote from Politico.EU: NEW EU MIGRATION DOCTRINE: The European Parliament’s hemicycle will today ratify a deal with EU countries allowing them to deport migrants to third countries, even it those migrants don’t have a direct connection with those countries, as long as there is a bilateral or EU agreement with the receiving government. It will pave the way for EU capitals to deploy the so-called return hubs, following Italy’s Albania model. Right-wing majority: The deal will be passed with votes from the EPP and the groups to its right, with some support from liberals in the Renew Europe group. Another bill will be approved setting a list of countries to be declared safe for deportations.

For those keeping watch, today we will likely see another major vote in the European Parliament on the back of the 'Venezuela majority' of the centre-right EPP with the threee far-right groups. Today on the menu: Migration and 'safe third countries'.
