Farage is not a dog who chases cars without knowing what to do when he catches them, Farage is a dog who encourages you to chase the car so that when you catch it it's your problem

Farage has always been a coward

Without him there would have been no brexit but the first thing he did after the referendum was resign as UKIP leader. In 2019, he stood down every Brexit Party candidate. Each time he wanted to be far away from the levers of power to not get his fingerprints on them

For every pound we invest into the NHS, we get back about 4. The NHS existing increases our GDP by roughly 30-40%

Just for the record, as a Green, the fact that votes can be split is kinda bullsh*t and a fairer voting system is very clearly needed

If youre unsure about the idea of UBI, try to find dragon a book called Utopia for Realists by Rutger Bregman - it does a great job explaining the benefits, previous successes, and past studies that vindicate the idea

The funny thing is "absolutely no-one should EVER be allowed to carry ANY firearm on the streets of the US" is actually a position that I agree with ๐Ÿ˜•

The Liz Truss mini-budget AND extra austerity (which they'll call DOGE because they prefer American culture to British culture)

If ICE aren't the gestapo, they're sure acting like themly are. The best - and I mean BEST - case scenario here is that ICE is fully of undisciplined yahoos who are getting off on their power trip. The worst case scenario is that these are orders from higher ups. In either case, ICE need prosecuting

It was never about enforcement for ICE, it was always about power

ICE are now violating American citizens' rights to privacy in direct violation of the 4th amendment. ICE needs to be disbanded and certain members need to be prosecuted

Pro tip: if you hate Trump, get involved with organisations, such as this one, to coordinate a response

how are journalists still this naive about Trump? His comments today about Greenland were clearly a threat

Also: consider not watching any FIFA '26 matches that are taking place in America (which isn't all of them). Sadly, that includes our matches against Croatia, Ghana, and Panama. Support our team in spirit, just not in person

If you're wondering what we mere civilians can do: find alternatives to American products if possible, write to your MP expressing disappointment that the Royal Family will be visiting the USA given current events, make noise on social media

It doesn't seem like much but it will start to help

I saw a tweet that said basically this around 2018. It never stopped being relevant

It's really tricky to boycott all of these brands, but it's worth looking around for an alternative to see if it exists
