Rise like Lions after slumber, in unvanquishable number.
Shake your chains to earth like dew. Which in sleep, had fallen on you.

Putin's regime in Russia is nakedly racist, homophobic and transphobic. It promotes (orthodox) Christian fascism to support itself. The Republicans see him as an ideological fellow traveller whose achievements are to be aspired to. They do not understand how much he despises them.

Given the high suicide rates for veterans, cutting mental health and suicide prevention jobs at the Veterans Administration is UNCONSCIONABLE. The Trump administration is full of incompetent, hateful monsters.

Yes, that's what the US now is 🤷‍♂️

The slow-wittedness of the US population is really quite staggering!

No Niemöller-esque philosophising could ever come from an American, they're far too small minded to even notice ANY groups disappearing.

Just bending over and taking Trump mushroom up the arse 🙄
That's called a Dictatorship.

Bought 40 scratchcards for people at work today

The maximum number of scratchcards you can purchase is 10! Govt rules to prevent problem gambling....

Not allowed to spend £11 quid on scratchies, but (I checked) the bookies next door allow £250 deposits on the roulette machines 🤷‍♂️

End lobbyists NOW

Yes, When they have right-wing Robbie Gibb on the BBC board, who helped to set up GBNews and bought in John McAndrew from GBNews into the BBC. You can join the dots and see where it’s heading.

Great idea not to mention that the entire saving was made in the year ending March 2025, two months before Reform took over.

He's surely NOT going after formula now!

Surely to god, no?

The same reason they claim to want to 'save the NHS' whilst at the same time imposing punitive CIP requirements on Trust budgets, leading to thousands of the most experienced front line staff taking Mutually Assured Resignation Scheme.

Because they are lying to us whilst selling the family silver!
Keir Starmer tore up the script this year to pledge a massive British defense spending hike. 

So why is the country's military still preparing to make cuts?

‘What’s going on?’ asks Laura Kuenssberg - suddenly fired up with Labour.
Funny how that energy was missing during 14 years of Tory rule.

So the real question:
Where were you then, Laura?
Your scrutiny felt absent, and Boris Johnson, whom you once called ‘gifted politician’, never got this heat.

I'm old enough to remember when Gordon Brown was forced to apologise to a woman for calling her a bigot.

The very least we should expect is that Nigel Farage apologises for being one.

The most transparent administration in history is now hiding both the complete Epstein files and the complete video of the Sept. 2 boat strike from the American people, only releasing the parts of each that they want you to see while concealing the rest.

This is the London & UK which Trump claims has 'fallen'

He WISHES just one US city was as safe, vibrant & welcoming to all as London!

And London is, the LEAST polite of all British cities, purely because of it's size!

In short. Trump, as usual, is too stupid to even comprehend of what he speaks!
More bad news for #NigelFarage. Yesterday, I saw a terrific show at a #london West End theatre (Operation Mincemeat) and on my way home encountered this scene in Great Queen Street. It was after dark, Nigel! The streets were packed! You would have hated it!. #truelondon
