To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Looks like BadEnoch has scored another own goal

The witness statement by Con Government 2023 was not sufficient to get a conviction on the China espionage case, will be disclosed

It appears that Con Government could not bring itself to categorise China as sufficient a threat to national security

Nigel Farage claimed that Warwickshire County Council had blocked Reform’s inquiries into their financial accounts.

The truth? Reform never made any inquiries.

Reform wants to be obstructed by council workers, but it has to try first

Exactly this.

Health insurance in uk is relatively cheap at the moment, because it has to be to entice customers.

If we had limited or no NHS prices would go sky high

“Mainly”?

Disagree with your alleged facts

Facts are

- Starmer got elected

- Starmer tried to make Brexit work

- Brexit damage still enormous

- public opinion eventually moved to recognise the damage despite billionaire media

- Starmer now attacking authors of Brexit

See the strategy?

Hamas committed the atrocities.

Isreal committed the genocide.

Palestinians need humanitarian aid now

So it’s Labour’s fault again that UK doesn’t know that Brexit caused untold economic damage?

Strewth!

UK was warned during the Referendum.

It was reported widely after. Books were written.

But hey let’s beat Starmer, despite the facts.

Billionaires win again letting Farage off the hook?
