The offer contained in Trump's national security doctrine - to turn Britain into one of Washington's satellite states in a Europe partitioned between Russian and American spheres of influence - is not one that any truly patriotic politician should accept. It is easy to see the appeal for Farage, as a fellow traveller of the Maga project. For Badenoch it presents an important dividing line, albeit one that Conservatives cannot see or dare not name. It is the difference between an opposition party that is loyal to British democracy, and one that would serve a foreign despot and call it resistance.

Tories β€œwon’t go on the record saying Farage is unfit to lead the country, even if they suspect it to be true, because they also suspect they may be propping up his government, or pleading for jobs in it, by the end of the decade”

They never stop letting us down.

Joe Lonsdale Calls For Public Hangings Silicon Valley radicalization escalates

March to barbarism

Billionaire member of the β€œPayPal Mafia”, co-founder of Palantir wants public executions.

Not content with profiteering, exploitation, wants public hangings.

Who will they hang - poor, homeless, hungry, people falsely convicted?

Too much money creates insanity.

American fears about 'civilisational erasure'

2 of 5 letters - all similar in opinion

Sir, The Trump administration has officially declared that demographic change will make Europe unrecognisable, as Melanie Phillips notes (Trump is calling for Europe to save itself", Dee 9). Yet it is President Trumps dystopian world view that is unrecognisable for most democrats across Europe, as the transatlantic alliance has done so much to shape the world in which we live. As Phillips herself points out, the central irony of the new Trump doctrine is that it combines a commitment to regime change among democratically elected governments in Europe with an entirely hands-off approach to co-existence with its authoritarian allies in Vladimir Putins Kremlin.
Britain and Europe will have to take
more responsibility for peace, prosperity and democracy while this new turn in US politics lasts. We can take some solace in the fact that this offer to import the Trump and Vance doctrine into our own politics is something we will get to decide for ourselves at the ballot box.

Sir, I find the fixation on migration, particularly Muslim migration, troubling on many levels. To start with, Muslim birthrates will decline with increased European education; educating women achieves that.
Second, this is not the first time a Middle Eastern religion has travelled west: Christianity did it, with levels of resentment along the way. In these (one hopes) more enlightened times, religion will hold less sway than it did then. I cannot help but feel that this current attitude stems from a rather pathetic minority of "white" supremacists whose misplaced and erroneous superiority is under threat;
hence the talk of "civilisational erasure" and other nonsense. These turbulent times call for tolerance, not the demonisation produced by a narrow and self-demeaning tribalism.

Letters in the Times - expressing disgust at anti-immigrant racism and the β€œTrump doctrine”- a meddling, authoritarian plan to undermine European democracies in order to have us all at the mercy of his USA or Putin’s Russia.

For all our sakes and futures, that *must* not happen.

US plans to start checking all tourists' social media The potential social media mandate being proposed by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would apply to anyone visiting, whether they require a visa or not.

Jeez. All tourists - including those from Britain - will have to undergo a social media screening before being allowed entry into the US under new plans being considered by the country's border force

We are seeing Labour actively attempting to weaken human rights protections, they are already undermining modern slavery protections. That won't change from people like me pointing it out. It changes when people either stop supporting them, or members start calling them out for these abuses. 7/7

Labour claims its racism is "compassionate" and "progressive". They claim that it is the "will of the people". They ignore experts, they ignore those affected, they ignore the harm caused or the way in which their policies and rhetoric are emboldening the far-right, rather than countering it. 4/7

Particularly, if, however, you are the type of person who calls all Reform supporters racist for supporting their policies and yet still support Labour, it is time to look in the mirror. The only way Labour changes course is by members either leaving or calling them out. 3/7

Labour as a government is fundamentally racist and xenophobic. Yes, you absolutely can say that a Reform or Conservative government would be worse for people, but you're still arguing over which flavour of racism you are prepared to swallow for a quiet life. 1/7

Labour want to halt the rise of the far right by… Becoming the far right.
If we trust them to strip us of these human rights they will just come to take more in the future.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

BBC's new guidelines treat anti-Zionism as antisemitism The BBC has issued new training guidelines around antisemitism and they are every bit as woeful as you might suspect.

This is exactly the position that the perpetrators of genocide would want the BBC to take. It is the equivalent of the BBC taking Islamophobia guidance from ISISπŸ‘‡

So the BBC have decided that all Jews are responsible for the atrocities committed by the Zionist state of Israel because, in their own guidelines, criticising the political ideology of Zionism is antisemitic

The BBC is a racist institution that wants to shut down criticism of a racist ideology

Edinburgh independent councillor Ross McKenzie joins Greens Edinburgh independent councillor Ross McKenzie has joined the Greens nearly three years after he quit the Labour party.

Locally and nationally, @scottishgreens.org are representing working-class interests and providing a real left-wing alternative - the very things I had hoped to do as a Labour councillor.

I will continue to spend every day trying my very best to serve the people of Sighthill/Gorgie.

Reform campaign for Farage’s Clacton seat was a β€˜juggernaut’, say candidates Defeated Tory and Labour rivals describe force of Reform β€˜machine’ as police assess claims of overspending

So, Farage who’d previously failed 7 times to be an MP, decided that in Clacton he’d rely on his old Brexit friends - cheating (and racism) - to get him his win.
With millions now pouring into Reform, it’s beyond time to properly investigate this grubby little man
