I’ve been through a lot worse than anything Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth can throw at me. And I'm not backing down, because this isn't about me — it's about you and every American's First Amendment right.

The parliamentary register of interests shows that Farage has made nearly £400,000 from GB News since August 2024, for c190 hours’ work. This suggests he is being paid more than £2,000 an hour by the news channel. All paid to Thorn In The Side Ltd owned solely by Farage 25% tax rather than HR

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

In the same week Trump has attacked President Zelensky for upholding Ukrainian sovereignty, he can only bring himself to describe Putin's deadly missile strikes as "bad timing." This tells you everything you need to know.

Nigel Farage has said Reform UK will have a Minister for Deportations. He added that they would also have a Minister for Dog Whistling, a Secretary of State For Shit Stirring and a Department of Complete Bollocks.

It’s extraordinary that so much media still reports on Trump with the old, redundant tools of the trade. He lied about Ukraine, then he tried to extort Ukraine, and having failed he threatens to walk away from Ukraine. The idea that he was ever going to do anything unwelcome to Putin is ridiculous.

It is time to stand up to them. The best way to do this is to join the European Union. Imagine how angry Vance would be... and what a positive message to the rest of the world about Britain.

To move faster towards rejoining the EU or Single Market, we need to break the stranglehold the Brexit right has on Starmer's mindset. We can burst Farage's Brexit bubble by mobilising the largest possible anti-Farage vote in the local elections. Please share the message. #Vote4Democracy

Denmark's Foreign Minister wants the UK to rejoin the EU. "Their new government has pushed the reset button. It's a start. We have to be there for them. And if one day they regret - if they dare to push the reset button and find their way back to the european community - we'll be there for them".

How do you get rid of a dictator before they take complete control of the military, media, police etc. Figure it out then do it before it's too late

The Labour government has a problem. Most British people see Trump for what he is. Most British people are also now drawn towards, not against Europe. The tide was always going to turn and Trump has hastened it. A conundrum, Sir Keir. A welcome one if you are brave enough to say what most now think.

“I am aware this is a dream, that instead of a Brexit we will have a Breturn. Perhaps I am labouring under an illusion. But I'd rather be an optimist and harbour these dreams in my heart. Sometimes they come true in politics” Donald Tusk 👏

Can anyone explain to me if the US President is immune to the law why is he going to follow it and have fair elections or even elections at all? Because it seems like he wouldn't.

Prediction: Badenoch is going to try and pursue Musk's agenda in the Commons today, like the sad desperate attention seeker she is, and she is going to look a fool.

"Conservatives are calling for another inquiry, that's despite the Conservatives setting up 7 year £200m independent inquiry on child sexual abuse & then Cons gov't didn't implement any of the 20 recommendations. Isn't calling for another one is the very definition of political opportunism" VD

Telford survivors criticise Musk’s attack on Jess Phillips. Victims of male violence sign letter praising minister for devoting life to ‘fighting for women and girls’ - exc from @ecourea.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Musk to liberate the UK as the 51st state. Or 52nd, depending on whether Greenland falls first. The bullies in the global playground flex their muscles. Time for UK to #joinEU for its democracy, social cohesion, trade, independence, (dare I say it) "sovereignty", and the rule of law over money.

Literally all they had to do was calmly condemn Musk’s dishonest & inciteful attack on their parliamentary colleague, Jess Phillips. And they couldn’t even manage that. Absolutely shameful.

Elon: It may yet be an irony that you said that Europe (and specifically the UK) was heading to civil war. You might do well to remember Marie Antoinette and her belated attempt to "let them eat cake". Her proposed gift was universal to those present. Not just Trump voters.

What happens when we refuse to allow Trump’s lackeys to wreak revenge on his political enemies who live within our states and communities? Will our resistance give Trump an excuse to use force against us?
