Take back control, they said.

Free us from the tyranny of the EU, they said.

And now they are calling for us to be shackled to the Trump regime; else weโ€™ll be a piffling irrelevance.

BBC going with bitter sarcasm for their main headline this morning.

"Huge fire engulfs Kuwait City tower as Trump accuses Starmer of seeking to 'join wars after we've already won'"

New Employment Rights Act โ€˜a huge boost for women in the workplaceโ€™ Government says new rights for parental leave and sick pay will increase equality and economic growth

The Guardian has a positive article about Labour today on the benefits of the Employment Rights Act 2025, much of which comes into force next month.

Please read the article and share it widely, to let the Guardian know this is more the sort of content we want!

This really is great news. It should be shared far and wide. I'll do my bit! Thank you Warren.

It really is something to see politicians, commentators and media outlets whose whole identity is based on being so-called โ€˜patriotsโ€™ frothing with excitement as they line up to back a deranged megalomaniac who consistently attempts to belittle and bully the country they claim to love

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...donโ€™t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesnโ€™t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesnโ€™t create jobs

Folks, weโ€™ve seen this all before.

Important fact:

Trump wants Right Wing politics throughout Europe.

His man for Britain is Nigel Farage.

He needs Starmer out and his man in.

He doesnโ€™t know how Britain works or thinks.

As always, heโ€™s got it badly wrong.

Major Tether investorโ€™s donations to UK party pushing pro-crypto policies reach $16 million UK is working to finalize its broader crypto rulebook, but firms like Coinbase are urging regulators to avoid restrictive stablecoin policies.

I hope you're right. Unfortunately Farage now has serious money behind him, as well as the RW press and his GB News platform.

Only a minority of people in the UK will listen to Trump directly, but it seems the media will gladly amplify his talking points ๐Ÿคฎ

Farage and the media are currently attempting to manufacture consent to the illegal Iranian invasion by constant front page efforts of how starmer is wrong for not getting involved. Theyre trying their hardest to turn around 90% of public opinion but it wont work like it did with brexit. Traitors

The ship wasn't to support his war! It was only being prepared from 5 to 10 days readiness to protect our British interests abroad in case of further escalation. @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

Somebody, please ask all these Trump-fluffing British politicians exactly what their policy will be regarding the Iranian refugee crisis they are so desperate to create.

Hadn't occurred to me Virginia, but entirely plausible.

In fact the more I think about it the more it rings true.

โ€œThe framers of the American Constitution, concerned about the possibility of a renegade, unbound executive abusing this gravest authority, reserved that power to Congress under Article I, Section 8, Clause 11. You can look it up.โ€

How the right-wing British press became Trumpโ€™s trumpet Churchill would be appalled by the kinds of things Donald Trump says and does. But Fleet Street is happy to ignore history for the sake of some political point-scoring, writes Alan Rusbridger

โ€œYouโ€™d think heโ€™d be busy monitoring the wildfire consequences of the war heโ€™d just started. But, no, he entertained himself by slagging off the British leader to any British journalist whoโ€™d listen.โ€

And they did more than listen. They disgraced themselves.

Right-wing media, Reform and Tories all betrayed us this week. They couldnโ€™t bring themselves to back the govt or our country because it would mean putting their nasty, point-scoring, twatty politics aside for the greater good. They exposed our post-Brexit weakness and their own toxic incompetence.

The Moment Kemi Badenoch Lost the Military
YouTube video by Bona Fide The Moment Kemi Badenoch Lost the Military

A good video being heavily critical of Kemi Badenoch for her disasterous interview on the BBC this week.

Though the video could have gone further to criticse her in her distinction between defensive and offensive action - which VERY VERY wrong.

There is almost no difference between the UK and French positions on Iran. But Macron's approach has been broadly accepted by French media and the opposition - except for the extreme left. The parallel with the UK is interesting.

What the Boris Johnson of "Let the bodies pile high." The Boris Johnson who slipped his security detail to party with "X" KGB Agent & put his son in the H.O.L. That Boris Johnson. The Johnson who ran away & hid in fridge. Quiet Johnson we shall hear no more from you.

How TF has that truly dismal little man become a possible prime minister? Itโ€™s demeaning for all of us that such an inadequate dickhead has such influence. And can be bankrolled by such malignant moneymakers.
Broken politics. Broken media. It all disgusts me.

Renee Good was also shot at point-blank range through her side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger

Alex Pretti wasnโ€™t in a car, but he too was shot at point-blank range by an ICE agent who was in no danger

It seems every time ICE kills someone they lie to cover up shooting innocent people

Energy security is national security.
Labour is investing in clean energy to make sure Britian is better protected from volatile fossil fuel markets.

The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is
finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East.
That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer -- But we will
remember. We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!
President DONALD J. TRUMP

History lesson.

Our once great ally didn't come to our aid until 1917.

Our once great ally didn't come to our aid again until 1941.
