The president of the United States of America. As we see him.

France is our closest ally. Isabel Oakeshott is ridiculous. Two facts you will never read on the pages of the Telegraph.

In an indemnity deal with The Sunday Times dated 17 November in which she handed over a dossier to the Murdoch Sunday paper, Oakeshott said: “I am in no doubt Banks and Wigmore have been acting as agents of influence for the Russian state”. bylinetimes.com/2022/03/08/p...

Since becoming an MP, Nigel Farage has managed to fit in nine trips to the US, has held down twelve jobs, which earned him nearly £1million, but has been too busy to hold any surgeries for people in Clacton who actually voted for him.

"I wouldn't trust you if you said the Sun was going to shine tomorrow." "If Reform said it would, I'd trust them." Caller John explains the depth of his trust in Nigel Farage to @lewisgoodall.com.

Ukraine has never targeted a refugee camp, it has never targeted civilian hospitals or schools, it has never systematically raped captured enemy combatants, it has never destroyed a US naval ship, it has never targeted journalists or aid workers with airstrikes. Ukraine is based.

Failed pandemic-era PPE contracts cost the British taxpayer £1.4billion. The Covid counter-fraud commissioner uncovered the figure in the first phase of his probe into wasteful Tory spending during the pandemic www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Your occasional reminder that in two years' time, Nigel Farage will be taking his gold plated £73,000 annual EU pension.

“The British public, on both the left and the right, has almost no grasp of what we will lose if we let the BBC go.” The left know what we’ll lose: an institution responsible for facilitating the rise of Boris Johnson & Nigel Farage, and lending think tanks like the IEA unwarranted legitimacy

It’s really time in British politics we had a discussion about how political elites remaining on X are being exposed to increasingly extreme/fringe views but are completely unaware of it.

Or otherwise known as Tory fare evasion. #honestbobjenrick

The myth of ‘capital flight’ just doesn’t hold up – the wealthy aren’t leaving, they rely on everything the UK provides: stability, infrastructure, a skilled workforce. 1/2

Today proscetors have confrimed 21 charges against 'Andrew and Tristan Tate, including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking.' 'Is it time for parliament to question Nigel Farage over his relationship with Tate?'

America's biggest airport on alert as three passengers struck by world's most infectious disease www.dailymail.co.uk/health/artic...

Seems pointless living and working in a corrupt evil country where none of us have any chance of owning a home or improving financially. 🤷 America’s government is corrupt evil garbage and I hope that God or UFOs destroy it. 🤞 👽 🔥 🗑️

I just saw and fact checked an interesting claim. Robert Jenrick posted a video where vigilante style he confronts a fare dodger on the Tube, and claims that Khan's London is the Wild West. Actually, the crime rate in his constituency is higher than London. Go to Newark, Jenrickman...

On the one hand, such mockery is well earned. On the other, it could very well drive him completely insane, and he still controls the nuclear button.

Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey has urged the government to strike a deeper trade deal with the European Union to improve growth and “minimize negative effects” of Brexit www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

President Trump continues to flood our country with criminals by pardoning 9 GOP Congressmen convicted of crimes!!!

Ursula von der Leyen, "The diary of Anne Frank." "A painful reminder to Europe to be vigilant and unyielding towards all those who see hatred and want to divide our society" "Europe knows this path all too well. And never, never again must we embark on this path"

Whoever made this deserves a medal.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Heathrow CEO slept through emergency notification calls and “several” phone calls after a fire and power outage stranded 200,000 passengers. Bound to get his usual bonus. And neoliberals will tell us that private sector is highly efficient, as in water, steel, energy, banks ... and other sectors.

Russia has gathered 50,000 troops, including some of its most battle-hardened forces, on Ukraine’s northern border for an imminent offensive, President Zelensky has warned. www.thetimes.com/world/russ...

Nigel Farage wants attention for *saying* he’d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up? No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July. Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.

Going to keep saying it - the Farage effect is largely an illusion. Many, many more people loathe him than like him.

Was asked how things are in the UK right now. I reckon we’re in three zones. Swimmingly as always for those at the top. Just about barely tolerable for many. And really rather difficult actually for a large and ever growing number.

Trump has declared that he will add a 50% tariff on Europe on June 1st. The US heavily relies on an export economy and Europe is its biggest customer. This new move is part of an ongoing pattern of market manipulation and stock pump & dump by the Trump regime and its collaborators.

More Russian sites were taken down and/or compromised by Anonymous overnight, no details if useful info was extracted yet. Everyday is a new opportunity for Kremlin bonking.

Andrew Neil admits that he slept for over three years while Boris Johnson was in government.

If it was a “personal” and not a “presidential” meeting, why the presidential seal?

Thames Water halts bosses' bonus scheme. For how long? They will extract cash through intragroup transactions, pay execs. Refund customers: Companies fleeced customers with promises of investment, proper disposal of sewage. Instead paid dividends. Nationalise water. Let customers vote on exec pay

“Child poverty is the biggest cause of social division in Britain today, a scar on our national conscience, and a stain on the soul of the country” Gordon Brown www.newstatesman.com/politics/soc...

Less than 30% of the richest 1% pay any Income Tax at all. Instead of jobs they are all Landlords, Stock Traders and Billionaires. Most of them pay less than 20% tax, with 25% using Tax Havens to not pay any at all. The rich do not pay tax, they need to be made to.

52% voted for Brexit. "It's the will of the people!" - Farage. But 60% of Brits now want a closer relationship with Europe. Times and attitudes have changed. So should our relationship with Europe. The only people standing in opposition to the "will of the people" today are the Tories & Reform.

Two types of people are upset about the Chagos Islands: -Tories, who have forgotten they started the handover process -right wing gobshites who are somehow furious about a place they didn't know existed a few months ago
