Lady of Resistance

I posted this famous 1940 Lowe cartoon about British defiance after the fall of France (and the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact) two years ago when Trump came to power. And now with the USA and Russia lining up against Ukraine and Europe, it’s time we stood up again: “Very well, alone”.

its a very strong sign of your election position when youre banning news outlets from covering you

Needed saying.

The excellent Leave Curious with what is effectively a public health announcement about the invasive Giant Hogweed. Genuinely scary. Every local authority should be compelled to eradicate it. youtu.be/i19pSHJxP58?...

France is switching from Microsoft to Linux "We must become less reliant on American tools and regain control of our digital destiny. We can no longer accept that our data, our infrastructure, our strategic decisions depend on solutions whose rules, pricing, evolution, and risks we do not control."

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed

I did not know Epstein on a boat I did not know Epstein with a goat I did not know Epstein in the air I did not know him anywhere!

🍾 What a great opportunity for Britain's youngsters... ❌ Oh wait. Brexit has taken away so many opportunities for our young people. 📉 From travel, to education, and even to work... Brexit has made us poorer and more isolated.

1/4🧵 A brief summary of what the #Trump regime has achieved in its war with #Iran after 5 weeks: a) The Strait of Hormuz is closed. It was open before the war began. b) #China and #Russia observe that the #US has not adapted to drone warfare. ⤵️

This would be a huge contract for JCB. In other news, the JBC group has so far given £1.1 million to the Conservative party and Kemi Badenoch since she became its leader

Shortest reign by a Tudor since Lady Jane Grey.

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Reform is too thick to hide their real motive for power. It’s not to make us wealthier. It’s not to improve our public services. It’s not even to manage immigration. It’s to wildly enrich themselves by dumping the rules and regulations that protect us from exploitation, discrimination and risk.

The Middle East is on fire, UK military bases are under attack, energy prices are going through the roof and the official opposition is spending its week wanging on about pictures of otters www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/kemi-baden...

Love this.

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next. There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

For those who buy Russia’s filthy oil: this is who Russia is fighting in Ukraine. This is childhood in Ukraine in 2026. We will not forget!

Meanwhile the “psychologically flawed” Gordon Brown, having enacted the most redistributive economic policies in the UK for the past 50 years, and saving the UK from full impact of 2008 - is still engaged in acts of public service….9/

...and don't talk to us about class, you total spoon, Yusuf. Leaky Sue Braverman has already let the cat out of the bag on that one. 'White working class boys' my arse... #Newsnight

Looking at all the media attacks Keir Starmer is getting over the Epstein files when he isn't mentioned, you wonder what would they would do to a politician who is mentioned in them - like Farage for instance. The answer appears to be nothing.

So why would a Kazakhstani billionaire be trying to secretly bankroll Reform? www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

As events in America are now showing, democracies are only as strong as their weakest point. And right now, the weakest point in our own democracy is the continued rise of one Nigel Farage www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...

Ironic isn’t it? Had an ICE thug been hurt at the very same location 5 minutes earlier, Alex would have dropped everything to save his life. But 5 minutes later….

So surprised - not 🙄

Time to stand up world, #cancelOlympicFifaworldcup

Board of Peace - Season 1

Once again, these people aren't "patriots". They hate their own countries and have built an entire career out of attacking them, while cheering on any foreign leader who does the same

Leaving aside, for a moment, the illegitimacy of Trump’s claim to Greenland, Europe also needs to consider what a hostile US controlling Greenland would mean for European security. Especially if the US were to ally itself to Russia.

🚨WOW! The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party now has almost 75,000 signatures! Let’s get it to the 100,000 needed! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all. They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America. They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell (1984)

Another way of putting this is to say that right now—at this very moment—Europe is under military threat from both Donald Trump and his ally Vladimir Putin. And this is happening as we are learning that Putin offered to let Trump have Venezuela if he would let Putin have Ukraine.

WTF is this Labour? You are giving every appearance of WANTING to alienate your young voters! Wrong road to go down!

Does the existence of a FIFA Peace Prize imply, nay demand, the existence of a Nobel World Cup?

Tory party’s long journey away from science, reason, responsibility, common sense and truth is complete

Agreed. Politics is not about avoiding conflict: disagreement is inherent to democratic politics. Sometimes you have to decide where you plant your standard; where you draw your dividing lines. This should be one such place.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (Updated Version)

Bluesky isn’t perfect but at least its owner isn’t demanding violent insurrection in the UK from thousands of miles away
