FFS! This woman is a LABOUR M.P.! Where on the political scale of Left Wing and Right Wing does this put Labour, hmm? The Labour Party needs to grow a pair, not flirt with the far right.

A very diplomatic way of saying the US doesn't want peace in Ukraine and doesn't want to listen to Europe suggestions for a solution.

Minorities in adverts are menaced, footballers observing Ramadan are booed. Is this the Britain we want? | Jason Okundaye Intolerance is in vogue and leaders are failing to meet the moment. When King Charles seems the best and bravest hope, the problem is clear, says Guardian assistant opinion editor Jason Okundaye

An eloquent and heartfelt article on the loss of tolerance in this country. When did we stop respecting that although we are all different we can live together in harmony? I learn so much from people who lead very different lives to me.

Dumpty is so full of caca. I would love to know who is pulling his strings.
And as to his comments on Sadiq Khan, Sadiq is the best thing that's happened to London in a long time.

This is very simply because she, and others of the far right, want to be the dominant human group and so, the β€˜lesser mortals’ can feck off.
N.B. Poor peoples (and many other primates & animals) have always migrated around the world in search of a better life.

However, now we are living in a time of relative peace, the British have decided they no longer want any more β€˜foreigners’.
And so SM (a Labour M.P.!) is now taking a very similar stance to Farage and pampering to the greed and selfishness of the far right. 4/5

This meant that, post WW2, Pakistan nationals (as British citizens), along with Indian nationals (also British citizens at the time), were encouraged to come to the UK to help rebuild the country. 3/5

In plain English, the British invaded India (Britain's invasion and colonization of India began in earnest following the Battle of Plassey in 1757). Britain & other white wealthy countries competed in who could conquer the most profitable lands (without a care for the indigenous peoples). 2/5

Fergie.
Let this sink in.
She reportedly checked in at the world-renowned Β£13,000-a-day Paracelsus Recovery Clinic in Zurich, Switzerland earlier this year and is now planning a comeback to the UK.

Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran has no mandate – or legal basis US president violates UN charter just days into his Board of Peace era, and chooses to take the biggest gamble of his administration

When will this awful, awful person be stopped? Once again it is the poor and their children who will suffer the most. They are pawns in the hands of the powerful. It makes me SO angry.
