If true, and Orbán is removed through an election without him resorting to widespread violence and bloodshed, this will be an incredible positive result for Hungary

🚨 BREAKING PMQs🚨

Starmer berates Farage for not condemning the death threat to Natalie Fleet MP from a Reform UK councillor.

"Look at their candidate in Gorton and Denton. A man who says anyone who isn't white cannot be English. No wonder he's been endorsed by Tommy Robinson."

First past the post voting system is not fit for purpose. Just 30% is often enough to win

The UK is a progressive country, but our voting system and the fact we have more centre/left than right wing parties means that the progressive/left vote is more split & Tory voters have just moved to Reform

Trump’s ICE Is Quietly Stockpiling Weaponry—and It Should Alarm Us All In addition to staffing up at a furious rate, ICE and CPB are acquiring a vast cache of weapons from private contractors, new data reveals. This will not end well—or anytime soon.

Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff.

For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/

And to what extent several outlets across the broadcast, print and online media find this newsworthy, as the Guardian senior political correspondent Peter Walker clearly does.

The jibe drew a furious response from the Labour benches

If only we had more reputable media outlets that thought Nazi-level racism was disqualifying

Dweeb bloke surrounded by iconography and sitting in front of a microphone

Thing about these new right-wing nationalist Christians is that they're all absolutely obsessed with Orthodox iconography.

They present themselves as British patriots, but the effect is to make them look like they've got stuck in a broom cupboard in the back of St Basil's in Moscow.

Restore Britain's language is not just racist it's now indistinguishable from Neo-Nazi groups.

In Yakutia, a United Russia deputy Ivanov is facing expulsion for calls for separatism. He stated that the people of the republic are deprived of free will — the right to study their native language and manage the lands of their ancestors, Kommersant writes.

It's almost as if preferential voting is a good idea...

"And I'd like to thank my wonderful family...My beautiful wife Melania... and my speechwriter... Vladimir. Thank you Vlad, I couldn't do I without you."

Lowelife's partywill be centred around remigration, and at least a couple of people associated with them want that to apply to any non white people. Born here or not.

I am still in two minds whether to go in on someone I see supporting them, as they are fringe and may split the bigoted vote.

That's also a classic sign of fascism.

You have the same name as my sister.
When you came up in my timeline I couldn't help wanting to check...
Happy to confirm that you are NOT my sister!
Because she lives in the east of England (UK). And she also isn't really into politics.

Look.

People get divorced for all manner of reasons, and it's nobody else's business.

However.

When a politician is using the slogan:

Family. Community. Country.

It's perfectly reasonable to point out that they are recently divorced and live in the SE of England miles from Gorton and Denton.
