Michael Heseltine tells @europeanmovement.co.uk event that the Farage's Reform and European populist far right parties are “equivalents to the fascists of the thirties” and adds: ”We have to deal with President Trump for the next 3 years. We don't need his mouthpiece anywhere near No.10.” ~AA 🔥

Robert Peston
@Peston
Heseltine has just addressed a packed meeting of the European Movement at Tory conference. He does not show the restraint of most party leaders in his critique of Farage and Reform: “right wing equivalents to the fascists of the thirties are back on the march: Le Pen in France, AfD in Germany, Fdl in Italy, Vox in Spain and conspicuously Reform in this country. Much of President Trump's language in America coincides with words here in Europe. The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem which needs a solution although recent events here have cast a dark shadow…We must make clear that we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Nigel Farage. We have to deal with President Trump for the next 3 years. we don't need his mouthpiece anywhere near Number 10.”

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Immune system being a buzzword is really frustrating when you've got an autoimmune condition. It makes finding stuff out really difficult because every supplement seller under the sun talks about how X thing they sell "strengthens the immune system"

Do I even want a stronger immune system? 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

It breaks my mind that two British political parties have seen scenes like this and decided to try and replicate it in Britain. Thuggary, lawlessness, state brutality. Farage and Badenoch decided they liked the look of it.

T1DM is an example of an unwanted active immune system against needed own tissues. High blood sugar from diabetes can cause immune dysregulation. Patients with diabetes cover a large spectrum of hidden longterm condition <-> disability so rather than specify they're all included.

What is about the right wing that attracts so many grifters?

It's because the entire purpose of the right wing is to secure the privilege to abuse people they consider lesser.

They think we are stupid and they have a right to abuse people.

They are waiting to be made to stop.
