First step in fixing it is to accept that you can't out-scumbag reform in an attempt to appeal to the worst instincts of voters who will never support labour anyway. Actual labour voters are going green because .. well, where else can they go? This head in the sand response is typical, but wrong.

Not today's FBI though. A remake of twin peaks today would have Dale Cooper cooped up in his hotel all day redacting trump mentions from the Epstein files.

He sends a ship from a country where healthcare is not free, and whose rapacious insurance behaviors is the biggest cause of personal bankruptcy, to a country that actually does have free healthcare, doesn't have a measles outbreak and nobody goes broke if they are sick. Make it make sense, anybody?

Is this from the Epstein files?

How about a remake of twin peaks with dale cooper as the ethical, hard working FBI agent sent coming to terms with having to redact all mentions of trump's activities from the Epstein files.

Ratcliff is himself an immigrant in monaco. He's an economic migrant. In monaco to avoid paying his fair share of tax (which he wouldn't miss given he's worth 17bn)
in the country he talks down.

Poor maga have talked themselves into that corner where they can only now listen to shit music.

It's a sheer coincidence that Tice and other reformatories have large property portfolios that profit by unnecessary office attendance.

Picture of child with cancer edited to include Nigel Farage – Full Fact An image which has gone viral on Facebook and supposedly shows the Reform UK leader fulfilling a child’s β€œfinal wish” by visiting them in hospital isn’t real.

fullfact.org/politics/nig...

What kind of scumbag fakes something like this?

"The image shows Mr Farage smiling, next to a child in a hospital bed. The captions claim it depicts him visiting a seven-year-old girl with terminal brain cancer whose β€œfinal wish” was to meet him." But it's a fake.

Call off the King’s visit to the US for the 250th anniversary of America's independence With the current political chaos in the US and Trump’s failure to adhere to international norms, and given his apparent obsession with the Monarchy, calling off this visit would send a powerful messag...

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

It's a real struggle to associate ice and Christianity. Presumably this church is some kind of scammy tax avoidance/donation scheme rather than an actual church.

Farage always blames everybody else for everything. His entire grift is founded on it.

Must be some pretty damned weird version of Christianity preached at that church.

Same supporters too...
The Daily Mail recorded that β€œLord Haw-Haw’s monocled voice reached out from Bremen again last night and British listeners are happy once more”.
Despite the relentless propaganda though, he was eventually recognized as the traitor he was. Farage will be too.
