Trump walking past the flag at the Whitehouse which has fallen to the ground. Im feeling a strong sense if foreshadowing and wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the photos that ends up in the history books

By mixing May’s “hostile environment” with Farage’s xenophobia, Shabana Mahmood has likely just ensured that Starmer’s government will be a one-term administration.
The 2029 election could see Labour suffering the same kind of wipeout that the LibDems suffered & the NatCs experienced last year.

Reckon that Shabana Mahmood has just cost scores of Labour MPs their seats in 2029.
People on the left/centre will be aghast & wont vote Labour again. Those on the right will vote Reform, even though she’s essentially nicked their grim rhetoric & policies, they’ll go for the ‘authentic’ evil party.

I wonder what made Trump suddenly u-turn on releasing the files?
Presumably Boot-licker Bondi called him on the 13th fairway to say that the shredding of the files with his name on was finally complete.

I see that the latest line from Bullshit Barbie is that Epstein was talking about a different child abuser who, coincidentally, has exactly the same name as her boss.

Shabana Mahmood and the Politics of Extortion
Labour's strategy of telling its supporters to back Reform-style policies, or get a Reform Government, is the politics of the protection racket and it is not going to work

I see that Lancashire’s Reform-run council has decided to close 5 council-run care homes & pitch the residents into the private sector.
The cabinet member for social care leading this, Graham Dalton, is part owner of a private care company.

I wonder what would happen if the BBC announced that they are cancelling Strictly & Eastenders immediately, or announced that radio 2 & 4 are being merged, in order to free up money to pay the legal costs of defending themselves against the #TangerineTosspot’s multibillion libel suit?

So #DementiaDon is now calling his decades-long friendship with a child molester the "Jeffrey Epstein Hoax".
I know he's an addled loony & he'd like his close friendship with a man who raped minors to go away but he can't call it a "hoax" and expect it to be forgotten and/or excused.

OK. Here's the thing. You just can't put on a jacket and pretend to be a security patrol in the UK. It's actually illegal. Who the actual F are these "Essex Spartans"? Government has laws and rules and they need to enforce them.

What’s the betting that the #DementiaDon orders his spineless cult members to resolve the shutdown next week, just in time for the #ComboverCaligula to claim he’s “saved” thanksgiving?

BBC Director General Tim Davie and news CEO Deborah Turness have both quit. Getting rid of a former Tory candidate and the woman who wanted to change output to gain the trust of Reform voters should definitely sort out any left wing bias.

The BBC are looking for a new director.
I believe somebody with relatively recent experience of BBC news programming has recently become available & has a free diary.
He also had a mutual friend with #DementiaDon so ludicrous attacks from the Washington crime syndicate will be neutralised.

Sen. Ron Wyden is calling out the GOP for pushing to slip a nationwide backdoor abortion ban into the government funding bill. This is dangerous for women’s health care. We’ve already seen the consequences in states like TX, but I guess the GOP is intent on The Handmaid’s Tale.

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it
We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.
