‘What’s going on?’ asks Laura Kuenssberg - suddenly fired up with Labour.
Funny how that energy was missing during 14 years of Tory rule.
So the real question:
Where were you then, Laura?
Your scrutiny felt absent, and Boris Johnson, whom you once called ‘gifted politician’, never got this heat.

To all Zionists: stop conflating Judaism with Zionism.
Judaism is a religion and a culture.
Zionism is a political ideology.
They are not the same.
The world is waking up and demanding justice for Palestine—whether you like it or not.

Zia Yusuf is busy patting Reform’s grassroots on the head, insisting there’s no need to panic about Tory MPs parachuting in — they’ll still get first dibs on the candidate list, honest.
The only thing is, the soothing bedtime story is being told by a former Tory. 🤨👇

Make it make sense!
Brits are escaping the UK for ‘better taxes,’ and suddenly nobody’s worried about them stealing jobs, burdening the countries they rush to—mostly the UAE, which… come on, the irony speaks for itself. Instead, we’re meant to feel sorry for them? Right.🙄

Ah, Sarah Vine — former wife of Michael Gove, cheerleader for the Brexit brigade and Boris Johnson’s rise — suddenly thinks her opinion still carries weight?
Spare me.
Where was all this outrage when the lies, the chaos and the Tory corruption were happening?

Jonathan Gullis has defected to Reform?
Wow, add it to the pile of earth-shattering revelations—right next to ‘water is wet.’
Honestly, the only real surprise is that it took him this long to take the plunge into Reform, otherwise known (in my personal view) as the Tory dustbin.

I preferred it when Rod Stewart sung
lovely songs such as ‘Sailing,’
‘Mull of Kintyre’ and ‘Margaret May.’
Now he’s become all radicalised, wallpapering his rooms in animal skin and sending back his gongs.

So let me get this straight, Julia "Heartless" Brewer — how very dare Sadiq Khan spend TAXPAYERS' money feeding children?
Should he be footing it from his personal wallet instead?
Is that really the angle here?

Who exactly ‘took’ this lovely old photo from you?
You said they — plural?
Are there multiple culprits?
Can you see them right now?
Are they standing in the room with you? No?

It must be exhausting trying to cook up fresh outrage every day.
Why not just recycle the classics? You know — the annual ‘We can’t even call Christmas Christmas anymore, it’s all ‘Happy Holidays’ now!’ routine.

These 2 little boys, brothers, were killed by Israel yesterday. They were searching for firewood to help their wheelchair bound father, according to IDF soldiers they crossed the yellow line and posed a threat!

It’s not about insulting Russia or choosing one form of imperialism over another. The real issue lies with the all three major distractors:
• United States — American imperialism
• Russia — Russian imperialism
• Israel — Zionism

Yup. The people who swore Brexit would be a triumph, the ones who told you to trust Boris,the ones who cheered Liz Truss’s “best budget since 1986", now they want you to back Nigel Farage.
How can so many people fail to see that he isn’t the answer, but the problem?

Here we have Jess.
Jess is very angry — furious, even — that people not born here can lead Britain.
Jess is also very sad that young Brits don’t celebrate the “greatness” of the British Empire…
You know, the empire built on people not born here ruling over people who were. 🤨
Don’t be like Jess.

And yet here we are, ambushed by the same people who swore Brexit would be a triumph.
The same people who told you to trust Boris.
The same people who applauded Liz Truss’s “best budget since 1986.”
And now they want you to back Nigel Farage.
He’s not the answer — he’s the problem

Oh the irony of a Reform politician saying “everyone is human”, except for people fleeing war and persecution, people who don’t share their politics, people who out them for their crimes and racism.

I don’t think there’s any point challenging illusions on this level. I mean, she’s convinced Nigel is going to ‘save the country’ — so what chance is there she’ll accept anything people have claimed about his youth, or anything former colleagues and allies have said? Reality doesn’t stand a chance.👇

When Trump makes a pass at a 15-year-old, she's a woman. When Farage says something racist as a 15-year-old, he's a child. Schroedinger's Adolescent.

Ah yes, the British edition of MAGA — one of Farage’s loyal disciples who never asks questions.
Criticise their leader? Suddenly it’s special treatment only, please.
And if you dare mention the glaringly obvious racism?
Congratulations, you’re now a ‘lefty looney.’ How original.

Have you noticed the right-wing’s new favourite get-out-of-jail-free card?
“Not with intent.”
Nigel Farage: “Did you ever racially abuse people at school?”
“Not with intent.”
Sarah Pochin: “TV ads have too many Black people.”
That’s racism, Sarah.
“Yeah, but… not with intent.🤷♀️

MAGA’s upset that Trump clearly liked Mamdani, so they’re slapping on the usual pathetic spin.
Mamdani didn’t "bend the knee", he was just being polite, like any normal adult.
What’d you expect, him calling Trump "quite piggy" to his face?

No he's not on the right side of the history.
Every statistic tells a different story, yet he chose to cling to a hateful narrative.
If history teaches us anything, it’s that hate and toxic beliefs never win—because they build toxic societies, and decent people refuse to live that way.
