In the words of Jon Sopel: "What the actual fuck?"
GB News this week suggested migration in the UK is a "genocide" of white Brits.
Is conspiracy theory the only thing that can get through its guests' "dull, dead synapses"?

If you have the biggest and most powerful military force in the world it’s easy to bomb and destroy smaller nations. Much, much harder to build anything better.

Double standards in Europe and elsewhere are laid bare by the muted response to US and Israeli aggression and the killing of civilians. The difficulty of upholding international law, and the limits of its scope, are no reason to jettison it.

Blindingly obvious! Now scrap your destructive ‘red lines’
It was followed but ignored
Trump is a demagogue who not only targets Democrats with bogus criminal charges, but goes after conservative Republicans like Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Powell’s “crime”? He didn't bow to Trump.
Today, a judge appropriately blocked the Justice Department from issuing subpoenas.
Hegseth has a disfigured personality.

Bummer
The Government must publish the risk assessment of the Trump Drug Deal.
Support the campaign here: hey-mp.uk?c=USphar
It’s almost like Putin and Netanyahu control our foreign policy.
Irony is dead (and buried, and dug up again, and then cremated).
Watching Hegseth saying he is serving God whilst revelling in the death and destruction of Iranians. A horrible little man, like his boss.
The UK has been included in a fresh US trade investigation that could result in new tariff pressure being applied to dozens of countries. - There is NO ‘special relationship’!

Macron is deploying eight warships, two helicopter carriers and the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, equipped with its 20 Rafale fighter jets, to the Eastern Mediterranean to defend Cyprus - The benefits of not being dependent on Trump! Starmer learn!

EVERYTHING is more expensive here!
Anglosphere agony vs Nordic nirvana.

We need to Trump-proof our politics and stop the US administration peddling their divisive agenda here in Britain.
Nigel Farage wants to import Trump-style chaos and division into the UK, backed by a shadowy network of think tanks and campaign groups with close ties to the MAGA movement.
Just more UK Ministers talking only to a UK audience about UK-EU relations. And “We have to win this argument” relating to Made in Europe shows the persisting attitudes of entitlement, because they wouldn't say the same about US tariffs. www.ft.com/content/111f...
This is the way.

Liberal Democrat GAIN from Green.
Changes w/ 2023.
Trump’s illegal war has been a nice little earner for one of his friends…
With everything else going on I missed Badenoch committing the Tories to a policy of “enforced” assimilation into officially approved culture.
A genuine concern
Like totalitarian China!

Sadistic 😡
Jeez. I thought I had seen everything but this! It’s almost impossible to believe it has actually just been posted by the White House. They’ve just presented the horrors of war as some kind of sick video game. Shameful, disgraceful, obscene and utterly horrific.
Sky News summarizes what the Prime Minister was told before he made the decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as U.S Ambassador. As Sophy Ridge later pointed out
“The problem wasn’t the vetting process. It was ignoring what the vetting process said”
