“The Brexiter insistence that the EU was irrelevant to UK security, which they claimed was entirely catered for by a US-led NATO, which was always ill-informed, is now exposed as the greatest strategic miscalculation in modern British history. “

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.

It leads on "sharply contested narratives"

It has a dramatic skew to the US government

It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

The same people who said that the mass murder of children in schools was a sad but necessary price to enable citizens to bear arms and oppose tyranny are now saying that if you carry a gun it’s your fault if you’re murdered.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

Hey MAGA

Your president Donald Trump believes if you have a gun you’re a criminal.

Wonder what the NRA thinks about this 🤔

😰 Trump has no control!! Heads of state rely on confidentiality to negotiate, explore options, and avoid embarrassing each other publicly. By broadcasting Emmanuel Macron’s private message, Donald Trump has signalled to the world that private conversations with him are not really private. ERROR!!!

ROGAN: They said they released them, but what did they release?

OTHER GUY: They're still not out yet. It feels like everything else has been drowned out by Somalians and the ICE shooting. It feels like Epstein is completely drowned out

ROGAN: I think some of that is on purpose

No. Don't push for stronger UK ties with the EU because Trump is a narcissistic thin skinned bully increasingly showing signs of dementia.

Making anything long term about him isn't right. Got to be a decision about the UK being an integral part of Europe.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

So a bunch of Europeans Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians, Poles, Germans, Slavs, Czechs, Dutch, French, move to the Middle East, claim the land as their own, guard the borders of the land stolen with violence, bigotry, labeling the indigenous peoples terrorists for resisting, and for just existing.

If you “inadvertently” broke the speed limit 17 times your’d be in prison

17 times is intentional not accidental

Fun fact — the Commissioner for Standards for HOP is paid approx £128,000 a yr for seemingly looking the other way❗️😡
