I am bloody proud to be an #RNLI supporter and member! These brilliant men and women have quite enough to cope with without being harassed by the scum of the earth. Their only concern is to help people in danger at sea - not check passports first! Which is how it should be. Please RT if you agree🙏

Over on X, the far-right British Patriots have launched a hate campaign against the RNLI They are recording RNLI volunteers in order to dox them, reveal their identities and publish details of where they and their families live These men are dangerous

Polanski very stupid for what he shared, but Reform’s pivot from bringing a woman who called for hotels full of asylum seekers to be burned down as their guest of honour at conference, to saying the Green leader should be jailed - is a difficult circle to square

New figures show net migration has fallen considerably. Some will celebrate. Some will continue to use it for scaremongering regardless of the facts. But can I also make the point that a country becoming unattractive for migrants is a signal of that country going down in the development charts.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. But he still needed a 45% pay rise. Like if he needs a pay cut. RT if you want the Monarchy gone. #NotmyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy

Drought fears in central/southern England, dry April leaves rivers low. 1trn+ litres of water a year lost to leaky pipes, 41.4trn litres since privatisation. Companies paid £85bn+ in dividends. Sewage in rivers. No national grid for water. Investment neglected. People fleeced. Nationalise water.

Keir Starmer determined to find evidence of Iran undermining social cohesion in British society, he just doesn't have any yet Keir Starmer still refusing to investigate Russian interference that helped push Brexit over the line, which undermined social cohesion in British society

Why let him “brush off” his deeply shameful, anti-Semitic remarks of the past? He’s there in Golders Green like some hideous ambulance-chasing lawyer, hoping to exploit this tragedy for his own ends. You know that. We know that. Can’t anyone just say it?

This morning , I have watched Braverman and Ellman on Sky News, allowed to refer to the peaceful pro Palestinian marches as disgusting hate marches. Neither presenter challenged them. They are cynically using the knife attack to pretend that antisemitism is absolutely rife in the UK.

My Easter reading: "..the Lord said I was hungry and you told me I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you told me to fuck off back where I came from, I was sick and you said I should get private health insurance..."

Crypto donations to political parties to be banned. Good. Farage claims this is aimed directly at Reform. Good. He also says that him publicly promoting Harborne’s crypto company had nothing to do with Harborne giving Reform £9M. You’d have to be a v special kind of useful idiot to believe that.

Britain's position will be MUCH worse if we're the only country that answers Trump's call to dip our hands in the blood he's spilling in the Middle East. That will win his favour for about an hour, until the next shiny thing distracts him. But it will stain our nation forever.

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

Fantastic news - A massive victory for common sense and the rule of law and the right to protest. Labelling Palestinian Action as terrorists was always a political act - an appeasement of the real terrorists in this issue - the state of Israel. buff.ly/BK5pWPq

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Britain must be the only country in the world where politicians get more stick for mispronouncing Epstein's surname than for making use of his services

Zia Yusuf must be thrilled with these recent defections then. Cue another 24 hour sulk off and return?

I think if you want to mark the moment for Labour’s series of problems in Government, it stems from the moment when Sue Gray was sacked in preference for Morgan McSweeney. Winning an internal or general vote is not the same as governing.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control. Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances. I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone. I need to share with you what I saw.

Amount of blood US has expended defending Greenland: zero. Amount of blood Denmark has expended defending the US: 43 Danish soldiers gave their lives in Afghanistan, responding to a US appeal under article 5 of NATO. Ogles has no idea about any of this, because he's an incompetent buffoon.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

Johnson doesn’t care about people or the consequences of his actions… he’s never given Jo Cox a moment’s thought. Or Nazanin Zagari-Ratcliffe. Or his Covid victims. His narcissism is grotesque. His legacy is epic damage…. To the country and the many thousands of lives he’s harmed.

PPE Medpro has been liquidated but because it has only £0.6m only £0.6m of the £148m debt will be repaid. A Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA), placed against Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman (worth £500m+) would allow all the money to be recovered. Why hasn't it happened?

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna. Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up. Like if you want Mone on trial. RT if you want them both facing the music.

Guilty of accepting bribes from Russian spies: A good friend of Nigel Farage is highly likely to be jailed tomorrow (Friday). Yet, the story appears to surprise most Clacton voters - and, worse still, unlikely to change the minds of Reform supporters. #ReformWatch

The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering. Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
