The language of "treason" and "traitors" has dangerous precedents, both in Britain and elsewhere.

Yet GB News is now ramping up such toxic and inflammatory rhetoric.

This is what Jet2, All Clear Travel and Boxt are supporting by advertising on GB News

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.

I’m Not panicking. I’m Outraged.

Before Christopher Hitchens, there was Ernestine Rose – a fearless 19th century humanist who challenged religious dogma when doing so could cost you everything. A true rebel. She died #OnThisDay 1892. Ernestine Rose #HumanistHeritage appreciation 🧵

It is much easier to confess your sins in the dark, than to acknowledge them in the light: to make it up with a god you don't see, than with a man whom you do... Teach man to do right, to love justice, to revere truth. So be virtuous, not because a god would reward of punish him hereafter, but because it is right: and as every act brings its own reward or its own punishment, it would best promote his interest by promoting the welfare of society.' Ernestine Rose. Activist and humanist.

We need to make Labour more scared of losing votes & seats to the Green Party than to Reform.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

I was a personal trainer for almost a decade. Honest to God, the number one thing I would tell my weight loss clients was to eliminate soda and fast food from their diets. Here, the "MAHA" Secretary of HHS is cheering on soda... at a fast food restaurant. Snake oil salesman.

Who the f*ck does Kristi Noem think she is, addressing a legitimate question like that? It is true. Tom Homan admitted it. Noem is a liar.

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it.
