You should remember, guys, that the one thing bullies and despots can't stand is being laughed at. So keep the jokes coming, always at Agent Orange's expense. Every one of them does something good, and enough of them, spread widely enough, will destroy him. #Twankery#

OMG, I really love Ann Telnaes. She is a great political cartoonist and walked away from Bezos Post and she is now independent. I think she hit another one out of the park.. What do ya all think? I really love this one.

I might be seriously out of line here, but I think Starmer's biggest fault is that he's a bit boring. I remember the last desperately non-boring PM and Starmer is infinitely preferable. The misbegotten neo-liberal agenda is choking all sensible policies though, sadly.

It's not corruption in their heads, is it? It's just that they do what they do, knowing that the rules don't matter and what's actually important is looking after your friends. But it's still corruption. Trump. Epstein. Randy Andy. Maxwell. Apply the rules.

🚨The Gov could FINALLY be about to end fox hunting for good, by banning trail hunting. But the likes of Farage are criticising the ban. We need to drown them out: sign the petition now to back the ban and tell the Government to hold firm: 38d.gs/trailhuntingdf

For Jesus’ birthday this year, he’s asking for affordable housing, universal healthcare, and for people to stop using his name to explain why they’re being cruel to strangers.

Yesterday's attempt by Farage to take the UK out of the ECHR represents a story we're all too familiar with; selling a movement as a lie. Remaining in the ECHR ensures human rights, equality, and a mutual respect across communities, and it's essential that we continue to challenge these lies.

Sounds like the remaining handful of tories haven't got to grips with economics at all. Not, I'd hasten to add, that Labour are much better. Less economically inept than the tories is not a high bar and even so they're struggling.

Can we perhaps agree that Farage's Fascists would be a more accurate name for Niggle's bunch of racist arseholes?

Leaving the ECHR would violate the Good Friday Agreement, signed by the UK and Irish governments and most of Northern Ireland's political parties in 1998. It would be exceptionally irresponsible for a UK government to do this, but Reform just want trouble. davidallengreen.com/2023/07/why-...

What Reform’s “detain and deport” really means: ❌ Sending people to torture and death. ❌ Making the UK a rogue state outside international law. ❌ Higher prices as leaving the ECHR wrecks our EU trade deal. This is not about control, it is about cruelty - we must stand against it.
