You are entitled to your own opinion, NOT your own facts. Misinformation is the greatest threat we face: it allows the powerful to manipulate the gullible into doing their bidding. Turns out there are a lot of gullible people.

Belief is for religion and flat-earth. You believe or not.
Laws are facts. In a democracy, if you want to make or change a law you have to demonstrate your reasoning and gain consensus. Unless you prefer a dictatorship of course.

Always remember. Not defeating Russia is a choice that Europeans and Americans are making. Nothing more, nothing less.

EU plan to share data with US border force sparks surveillance fears Washington is demanding access to sensitive data as ICE heightens fears in Europe.

🚨🚨Given current situation and with the sharply deteriorating situation in #trumpland, I think it is unwise, imprudent and just a very bad idea for the EU to go ahead with plans to grant #US border authorities unprecedented access to Europeans’ data. 🧡

The pub is a wonderful institution, from a time when the labouring classes didn’t have warm, comfortable homes, with Netflix and access to a supermarket full of decent wine.
Still great for the occasional night out obviously, but no need for 4 in each village.

IMO, the real problem is that an entire stratum of society is making friendships and doing deals so far above our heads that us normal folk, and I include most govt ministers in this, are completely unaware of who is pulling the strings.
The global billionaires’ club quietly looks after its own.

Why did Republicans subpoena the Clintons over the Epstein files, but not the Trumps, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Steven Tisch, Howard Lutnick, or Steve Bannon?

They look so silly, gripping their little red children’s hats like rosaries, rather than non-recyclable, Chinese tat.

This email between Epstein and JD Vance’s tech oligarch benefactor Peter Thiel where they plan to β€œcollapse” society to create investment opportunities for themselves seems… not great

(They also met with the UN ambassador to Russia together)

Every time Trump praises Putin as wanting peace, Putin bombs the living shit out of Ukraine to make Trump look like the lying, compromised old fool that he is.
Isn't it time for Trump to send real tough negotiators to Moscow instead of pansy boy Jared b/c Putin devours weakness.

Russia is bombing Kyiv throughout the nights. Putin is killing people and knocking out power. Its freezing there-about 25 below .
With all my heart wish we had a president who cared. But i guess Trump is allied to Putin

What are the clues that Trump enjoys abusing women and girls, other than his constant abuse of women and girls and the obvious pleasure he takes in doing so?

A private island where the most powerful/rich men on the planet were given endless access to underage girls, many brought from Russia, to be sexually abused, sounds like a kompromat factory to me.

The idea that voters can listen to such dishonest, incompetent people (Farage, Trump and their apologists) and think, β€œ yeah, let’s give them the job of running the country,” makes me want to live in a very remote cabin, where I’ll never have to encounter such morons.

"Christian Wakeford defects as an MP from Tory to Labour. 

If he calls a by-election then that's fine. 

If not, he is the Dishonourable Member for Bury South."
